Personally I watch it for ML and his banters with FL. I like that FL is not your typical cdrama high-pitched voiced pure and dumb snow white. I personally feel the chemistry between XH and XFF and I think both leads are doing a decent job acting. The actor playing the ex husband is not bad at acting for me as well. I could care less about the supporting cast in general though - this is at this moment you understand JOL is on another level concerning supporting characters treatment. I enjoy it but I can see that this is not a solid storyline - from all accounts source material ain't not to begin
with and is kinda OTT. I think this drama will have a decent sucess like Scent Of Time but nothing
serious. So yeah...

Anybody that says Wang Xing Yue acts taunting Xiao Heng as a cold character is totally blind or doesn't know the definition of cold. He can be ruthless for sure. But he is not cold !

XH is a lil flirty guy, touchy with people. There is something sensual about him. LBY is different.

He played masked guy in "Reset" my fav cdrama of 2022

Yeah dubbed

A snippet about Xiao Heng here showing how good WXY has been portraying him. Again "cold" is not the word I would use for Xiao Heng. Cold is for characters like Zhang Zhe

I get what you mean. I read the novel author is very OTT with the school parts in his novels

Thank you

The book was trashed on DB ? Wow ! Anyway watching for WXY's Duke Su 😅

I noticed people usually don't like academy arc on cdramas. Your reaction reminds me of the lady whose I read tumblr posts and who has been gushing about JOL2. She loved everything about the show but dreaded the exam-centered episodes 😅. Good that part didn't last long. 😁. I hope the academy arc will end quick here.

Yeah it is 40 episodes. Kinda long

The slow motions as long as this Xiao Heng work for me because of the red and black colors ? The vibrance of the color red matches slow motions on a visual aspect for me. But when this is other characters I feel weird about it especially that annoying princess.

Am I the only one that doesn't think Xiao Heng is cold at all ? He is rather flirty and teasing even lowkeye approachable. He is more of a joker type of character that enjoys watching dramas surrounding him. The thing is he has no qualm at unaliving corrupted people (that characteristic reminds me of FanXian) and he gives me the feel of someone that also enjoys torturing people. Zhang Zhe is a character I will definitely call cold, reserved, taciturn and keeps to himself, not Xiao Heng ! That guy has no notion of distance at all ! So when you say "cold" I am lowkeye surprised. And from all accounts he perfectly embodies the character in the novel.

Zhang Zhe was so pure a litteral fairy as you said. Xiao Heng would have teased him a lot had they been in the same show. Two completely different psychologies

I wonder what Zhang Ze would have thought of Duke Su had they crossed path. He would have been like "you are a person of a very bad morality viewing people tragedies like a stage drama" and Xiao Heng would be like "well trolls like us always win the girl 🤷‍♂️🤣"

Wang Xing Yue as Xiao Heng = hottest thing of the year of dragon

Now Bilibili front page is starting to get flooded by loads of Xiao Heng dedicated FMVs 😁. WXY is having fun with that role

Apparently cause of censorship they couldn't keep the soul swapping stuff -kind of like JOL PD changed the transmigration story of the novel to the sci fi storyline. Also in the drama they are not in the capital, at least she is not in the capital at the beginning -reason why she begged ML to bring her to the capital.

Same here I think she looks young

She and her team listened to the critics and decided to start from scratch by taking smaller roles so they can learn from more experienced actors and build up her skills and career the right way. I think this is good and I applaud her team for that. They show they are not driven by their ego 👍
