Of course!! One of the reasons I love this adaptation more is because the chemistry between the main actors is amazing. The production team also mentioned that in this version, their focus was on the romantic relationship between the main characters and their deep emotions, which they beautifully portray throughout the drama.

No, he's not part of the ost line-up for this drama.

OH MY GOD!!! You're right... I hadn’t noticed that before. I won’t be able to sleep tonight just thinking about how awful Zang hai might feel when he probably finds out he’s been used this whole time.

Wow, seriously, the more we go forward, the more I start doubting Zang hai’s Shifus!!
In episode 20, it was clearly shown that the prince has some information about the Gui Seal, but they talked to Zang hai in a way that made his suspicions disappear.
I feel like they’re subtly making Zang hai believe that if he finds the Gui Seal, he’ll also discover the identity of the third person. when in reality, they never want zang hai to know who that person is!

It’s so intense! I really hope we find out soon whether Zang hai’s Shifus are actually good people or if they’ve just been using him all these years.

What you said is partially valid and I agree to some extent, but it doesn’t really apply to *this* drama. This is a fantasy series and if you’re looking for a drama with a different type of storyline and characters, there are plenty of others out there to watch. But in this one, there’s simply no place for a weak, submissive female lead.

Even in Antu’s character description, it’s clearly stated that she’s not accessory to others or there for show, she has her own strength and agency.

Again, I do think parts of your point are fair, but personally, seeing strong and intelligent female characters in historical Asian dramas like this one honestly makes me really happy.

Exactly. It’s honestly disheartening to see how deeply internalized misogyny has taken root in people’s thinking...

"Acting childish" well, she's actually really young 😭
If you look at it from Antu’s pov, things make more sense. Zang Hai used her to achieve his own goals and gain status in the palace, and then decided to ignore her. Of course Antu, someone who was always genuine and honest with him, is now angry. She feels like she was just a pawn in a man’s game, and honestly, who wouldn’t be upset?

I honestly don’t understand why some people have such a problem with the female character. Xiang Antu has been part of Zang Hai’s fate from the very beginning, and she’s influenced his path of revenge both directly and indirectly. The fact that she’s the princess of Dongxia already shows how important she’ll become to Zang Hai later on!

And on top of that, I really don’t get why people are against Zang Hai having a romantic relationship. He spent ten long years in prison, consumed by hatred and vengeance; and now someone like Antu has come into his life, someone who truly cares about him. When he’s with her, he can finally breathe, be himself, and feel something other than hate something like love.
Personally, I’d love to see Zang Hai and Antu overcome their misunderstoods, because Antu can be that safe person for him, the one who helps him take off his mask and lower his guard.

I think the third person might be a woman! Because when they showed the third person's hand in episode 17, it didn’t look like a man’s hand in terms of appearance and size or at least not like the hand of an older man. That’s why I think the third person could be a woman.

Also, I think the third person might be Antu’s mother. According to the spoilers, Antu doesn’t have a good relationship with her mother, and her mother doesn’t seem like a good person. So maybe she’s working with them? Although that might be a bit unlikely, since Antu’s mother is from Dongxia?!

I’m not sure, but I think that mysterious masked man might be one of the three people responsible for destroying Zang Hai’s family. He raised Zang Hai all these years just to use him to find the item his father had hidden.Otherwise, how did he have such easy access to the zhuang lu yin’s house when he's known to be so strict and alert? Overall, this character really pushes my curiosity to 100!

i have a question guys! does jingyi use her real vocie for this drama or someone dubbed her character?

No, don't worry. They don’t show it. they just mentioned it in the drama’s subtitles.

To be honest, I was suspicious of that man from the beginning of the movie!
A young high school girl and an ordinary factory worker from another city could never plant a bomb on such an important and heavily guarded Tokyo train; unless someone working at the station helped them!

Also, you know that music playing during the scene when they were looking at each other from inside the ambulance? It was so intense and unsettling, it doubled my suspicion. That’s just my opinion and guess ~

I didn’t feel even the slightest bit of sympathy for the terrorists in this film! Life is hard for all of us; every family has its own problems, and we’ve all been through tough experiences; but that doesn’t justify doing horrible things, taking away the lives of hundreds of innocent people, or traumatizing them to the point of death. And all of that because “my dad treated me badly”? That’s such a ridiculous reason to plant bombs.

Having a difficult life should never be used as a cover or excuse for doing wrong. It’s the worst kind of justification; because if we accept that, then starting tomorrow, anyone could justify murder or any evil act by saying “I had a hard life, please understand me.”

it's happy ending

yayyy, exactly! If Jennie and Jung Somin had a child, it would be just like xu Ruohan, with Dahyun from TWICE as the aunt 😭

Yes, he had! In fact, in the novel, he also had a bad relationship, just like Shen Xifan, and he promised himself that he never wanted to be in a relationship again! He didn’t date anyone for more than 10 years, so everyone was surprised when he fell in love and started a relationship with Shen Xifan. even he himself wondered about his feelings for her.But in the drama, they don’t focus on his past or his struggles with love. Instead, Su Ye is portrayed as someone who has moved on from his toxic relationship and is now full of excitement for his crush, acting like a flirty, hot guy who wants her girlfie so bad.

I completely disagree with you! I'm still at the beginning of the series, but QiQi's character is truly indefensible.
I only need to ask you one question: if you had a friend in real life where you had to constantly put in all the effort to maintain the friendship, but they could easily cut ties with you just because you weren’t their only friend and showed toxic behavior, would you still continue that friendship? Wouldn’t you feel hurt and frustrated?
In reality, people like QiQi are neither understandable nor forgivable. Many people grow up in even worse family environments, but that doesn’t mean we should blame 100% of their toxic behavior on their families. As human beings, we all have the ability to think and make our own decisions.

I don't know why some people are so insistent on bringing the female character down and nitpicking every little thing about her. She's just a realistic and ordinary person; characters don’t all have to be extroverted, do crazy things, or have some kind of out-of-this-world boldness! Many of us are like Shen Xi Fan in our daily lives, so does that mean we’re all boring or incompetent too?

Wow, saying that the female character is "boring" is really cruel because that's exactly what her ex-boyfriend told her, which left her struggling with trauma and self-esteem issues for a whole year. And now, as a viewer, you're saying the same thing?
