Veiled slight? I don't need to make vague comments. I expected this to be a normal Kdrama and wanted more info. I am finishing off 3 Cdramas and 2 Kdramas. If this drama is going to be complicated I will marathon when it ends. If the synopsis says its light or there is enough tags I will watch or not watch it until it ends based on the tags. I didn't even bother to read about the dramas before it aired.

Yeah I do. So whatcha going to do about it?

You are weird. Did you even read the tags?

It makes a difference if he is a poor prosecutor getting involved with a rich girl. Don't you know Kdrama plots? It changes with the cliche. I wanted to know if he is secretly rich so therefore they will be fine once his secret identity is exposed.

If not the picky grandmother will not approved of the match ergo break up. Time jump. That sort of thing.

So yeah.... you're the weird one jumping into a drama blind.

The tags for the drama made me laugh. I came to check if the male lead is rich or not based on the way the grandmother behaves. Then I see hardly anything about him except that he is a prosecutor.

Does that mean I don't have to pay any attention to him since it will be all about the FL?

I avoided ep 9 and 10 when it aired after ep 8 aired last week thinking it will be bad. However these turned out to be 2 of my favourite episodes instead.

Yes the plot is predictable but the execution is so good. I think its a combination of writing, deft directing and great acting. The ensemble cast here is delightful. The way its done is so classy. I actually repeated a few scenes. One example is when Gi Tae was in the
office. His " heol " was so,
so,funny I repeated it
twice.

I have never seen the FL's mother smile so much. I really, really laughed in ep 10.

So yeah I really like how they moved the plot forward. It really shows how a cast and director can make or break the tone of a drama. One other thing, the director obviously gave specific instructions for the kiss scenes.

Like I said I have really laughed quite a bit for this drama. The execution js outstanding. I am looking forward to ep 11 and 12.

Thanks.

And jeepers me no like.

I have read and probably won't watch but who are you talking about please? Thank you.

I can't even remember this drama. Lol.

Thanks. I will correct it. Hw is born in 1978 and she in 1999. I think I meant 21 years older.

This was 4 months ago. I will need to rewatch one episode beforeI edit my comment. I can't even work out what my post meant with the age gap.

Edit I had to rewatch multiple episodes. It was a typo. I meant 21 years difference.

I would remember this drama because of the students. I cannot remember the last time I have been so fond of a high school drama. I didn't even bother to comment about the adult romance.

I hope the actors have or develop friendships from this drama. Talk about chemistry- the team chemistry is insane however the director must also ensure it flows ans it did. This is one drama where the actors did a lot of exercise and running. The kids who were played by adults were just phenomenal. They were so sweet and so supportive of each other and so brutally frank like boys can be. I absolutely adore them and they were the best part of this drama. I came for Chen Jing Ke because I watched Amidst a snowstorm for love but stayed on for the soccer team. Their high school reunions- if this was real life- would be a riot.

Goodbye drama. Some things or parts were normal Cdrama boring but I don't regret watching it. Fu Xin Shu is so sweet I wished he was the type of leads we encounter in high school dramas. He is so earnestly sweet and supportive.

I am on ep 6 now. Thank god for that as i am reading all these spoilers

The Crown Princess title for the ML's is confusing. I think its her name and then the kid belongs to Madame Rui. Edit- good golly I think I adjusted to the lingo now. How embarrasing. Is he the 4th Prince. They have been calling her the 4th xiefei. Lol. I think I will get better with more episodes.

However the subs said Madame Rui his maid. You and I know that sometimes the maid in a male master's household is also the sleeping companion. However she is married or was married. I am going to ignore the subs and just watched. The subs were confusing because the comments here said the kid is his wife's child. Anyway... they are not important. Married ladies are generally not maid to Princes. The subs here...

I can't read Chinese but can read Hangul. Laziness... when I go to a drama the subs are there. If push comes to shove I can watch both Korean and Chinese dramas without subs but its just that historical dramas are harder for me. The sentence structure doesn't bother me as I used to sub both Korean and Mandarin dramas so if I am stuck I just translate in my head...

I just started ep 1 and watched the ending. Its only 28 episodes but how much suffering, blood, angst did the show packed in?

I went to see which episodes have aired. Thank goodness ep 21 airs tonight. I read a few comments below so am confused with the comments as well. I will make sure to make the volume louder and pay attention to the conversation and hopefully the original Mandarin will make more sense than the subs. I always find it less confusing because sometimes the subs mislead viewers.

I know. Did you see the autumn leaves. Then the winter? I am East Asianm then did you notice the pink cherry blossoms trees plonked in the middle of green blooming trees. All in the same time area. The wife died 3 years ago and the Princess was enroute to the capital. I am wondering if this husband business has been 3 years or what?

That was my first Cdrama. I actually bought the DVDs but I saw it about 12 or more years since it aired. I am a Kdrama watcher so Cdramas only in the last 3-5 years. That's why I haven't watched many Cdramas.

The actress that played Qing Er was a mother in one of the more recent Cdrama. I spent the whole drama being distracted by her voice. Its so distinctive. I was marvelling at how well she looks.

Princess Pearl was in 1998. I had to to back and search for the actress credential. The Empress Dowager has aged so well. I hope I look as good at 65 as her. Does she even look 28 years older from that role? Good golly.

They had the new year which is in dead winter. The previews are in autumn. Then we have the random gardens which has the random cherry blossomd which blooms in pink..


Is it me or is the director and set director asleep? The fight with the Duke of Wei was in snow and cold. Then the Princess never wears a fur cloak, mittens etc like all the other historical dramas. Isn't she frozen with the V neck dresses?

I am not getting involved in any debate. I marathoned 19 episodes in 3 days so am pretty happy I waited.

I am at the home stretch. The Crown Prince has a very convincing cough. I don't want any spoilers. I want to be surprised at the ending.

So now I have to wait till ep 30 airs and marathon ep 20- 30 then wait for the express.

This is a much more angst free Cdrama watching. I will now go off and watch ep 25 of Success for you and start my other Cdrama which I've held off. This is so much more civilised.

And oh yeah that Bu soldier is one of the best looking boy in girl clothing characters I've seen in years. I don't know how the actress looks like a girl but also is more like a male than all the others I've seen in other dramas. She also has a nice built vs the thin shoulders and ant waist ones.

Oops I went to the cast list. Its the 7th prince.

Those dramas are done. I have all those about 5 times. I just needed a new drama after The first jasmine and Love has fireworks. I didn't like the synopsis for 2 of the new drama and once I have caught up with this will watch the other new one. I am watching the soccer team in high school drama though for the kids not the romance part.

Oops I went to spoilers. Nvm its only 16 episodes so far and I can fast forward. However I actually like the actors so might not fast forward. After all I have no other dramas except the one Kdrama I am watching.
