Maybe because they don’t like the ML? And a lot of comments tall about how boring a mature ML is. 😍For me…
That also explains why Pursuit of Jade became such a popular drama. The ML carries a tragic past, has layered motivations, and is driven by revenge, which naturally makes Yeh Xian a far more compelling and intriguing character than the typical straightforward ML.
I love how they made Jin Zhao such a strong character 😍 Girl is no damsel in distress and her man knows that!
Yeah so far no drunk scene that makes her look silly, no acting cute… just a steady girl with beauty and brains. Even when they fall off the cliff, no piggy back ride. Loving it.
I noticed that when watching Ci Sha’s interviews, his real voice actually sounds much more bubbly, playful, and youthful. He genuinely sounds like someone his age. That’s why I’m guessing the drama intentionally used a different voice actor — to make Chen Yanyun sound more mature, composed, and authoritative than Ci Sha naturally does in real life.
Can I just say that, this time, I actually have to agree with all the anti-ML comments saying he’s manipulative. He practically orchestrated every little detail during the garden event without even needing to lift a finger — just casually asking questions here and there, making snarky remarks, subtly provoking people, and steering events exactly where he wanted them to go. Honestly, it was a brilliant move.
Still very much pro-ML though. And his potential marriage match, Qing Lan, also seems incredibly smart, beautiful and perceptive. In fact, she might even be too mature and overqualified for our rather immature Ye Xian - if viewers are speculating they will be a match.
Another scene I really enjoyed in this episode was when Madam Chen started discussing Chen’s potential marriage matches. She had already narrowed it down to the “top three” candidates and emphasized that daughters of low-ranking officials or merchant families simply would not be suitable for the future wife of a high rank official like her son. They are too lowly to be even considered.
Meanwhile, Chen Yanyun already had wheels turning in his head and was basically thinking: “I need to propose as soon as possible.”
The contrast between Madam Chen carefully calculating status and political suitability while CYY was quietly panicking over losing the girl he likes…. Ah the irony.
His demand & self entitlement drive me crazy, the heck, why don't he start using his own brain instead of…
YX likes to play victim all the time. Granted he had a sad family life, that is no excuse to be reckless and immature. So CYY giving him a lecture is jusr what he needs
