agree, but the reason is they’re on the decline so they’re desperate to make madam yu like them so they bet all their money on making an extravagant show so that she’d pick tingyun as her daughter in law

it’s a happy ending, idk what they’re talking about.

I don’t think “no one” is accurate since there definitely were a few people who did, but if you don’t, that’s great! and I’d say it’s pretty well balanced for the first 4 episodes since it’s just setting up how they met.

chastity arches were an actual historical aspect of the ming dynasty so it’s a nod to how the concept oppressed women at the time!

it’s an ensemble drama, with both leads at the center

all these comments, please watch this behind where the director deng ke literally says in the first moment that the road to splendor is an ensemble drama with a diverse cast. it is not an ml centered drama, it is a story and growth driven plot, so if you’re watching for the screen time, just watch his contents on sns instead of critiquing the show: http://xhslink.cn/o/2hdq25UIT9

the director and screenwriter have called this an ensemble drama quite a few times!

literally. even though the first few episodes took place at the fl’s family manor, he was still very present and involved? he even had fight scenes. it feels like they’re upset that the fl got screen time at all. I felt like it was pretty balanced right now and will prob become way more male centric as it progresses to appease these fans.

they don’t

he didn’t, the dubbing was done by his va from lgief.

a lot of the promo material for Tingyun so far has been focused on romance… hope we can see more of her strength and ability to overcome obstacles on her own in the show

This is funny because I saw some cfans complaining that the romance is too much already and that they want good plot.

agree, her voice is more mature sounding but they always give her a younger voice…

is the story not good?

it doesn’t, I’m pretty sure they pretend to get married/engaged but actually get married after they fall in love.
