I think her story about the orphanage was real. I mean we know she was an orphan, but the part where she was telling about all the other kids getting adopted. But she played it off because she didn't want to get emotional. She hides her feelings behind jokes and laughter. I have to agree with a previous post as well about how they seem to be forcing her to be something she doesn't really want to be, just because of her ancestors. I guess forcing is a strong word, she could have declined, she just wanted the money. She does seem to be slowly adapting, I mean she has almost a photographic memory, so she is really smart. This is a perfect role for ZLS, imo. I am really enjoying watching her act.

OMG, that is where he is from... LOL, I kept thinking where have I seen that actor before and I couldn't remember, but I knew he had played more of a villain role in whatever I saw him in. Now that you said his JOL name, it clicked.

Halfway through episode 4 and I am enjoying it. I think the cast so far (except for one) has been really good. You can see that slow spark of chemistry building between ZLS and LYZ. I am actually looking for to seeing LYZ grow as an actor, he seems to be doing quite well so far in this drama.

I do have a question and I am pretty sure it silly, but I wanted to clarify. The subtitles keep putting TCM, I am assuming TCM stands for Traditional Chinese Medicine, correct?

Also, you don't have to have any kind of degree to practice or learn TCM? I know it isn't like western medicine and I guess technically they are attending a "school" sort of. I mean the teacher has a delivery girl, a nurse, a lawyer, etc. attending to learn TCM and then practice it. It is interesting.

It could be because you are traveling. But I can find it on my Prime Video under the title "True to Love". I am watching in the US.

I think if she were to star with him in a series, she would get all kinds of backlash, fans of male idols can be vicious. There were some that way recently with Bai Lu with her recent drama she did with Dylan Wang. Although, I would like to see ZLS and Dylan together, I think they would make a great drama, I just don't want to see her get negative back lash from it. I would love to see her with Wang Yibo as well, but that would probably get even more negativity. Sometimes these fans can't just try and enjoy the dramas that these actors do, they have to cause drama behind the scenes. Also, imo, Dylan's best drama was Meteor Garden, I haven't been a fan of much of his recent stuff, lately.

Right!!! ZLS was already on the rise and pretty famous before she even starred with Dilraba. I don't understand why they wouldn't correct the misinformation. At least those of us who really follow her and have seen her dramas know the truth.

Whoever did the details page hasn't watched some of her shows. She was not an assassin in "Oh My Emperor" and "Dating in the Kitchen" was not a time-traveling romantic comedy, romantic comedy yes, time-traveling, no.

I am happy that most of the original cast is back it will make it definitely better. Hopefully they can get Xiao Zhan, but that is probably highly doubtful.

My thoughts are that Kdramas have the best Modern dramas and C dramas shine with costume dramas. There are a few Chinese modern dramas I like, but I mostly love the political or wuxia costume dramas.

I think my Xian Xia genre like is waning as well. The only one I have ever really liked was Three Lives, Three Worlds: Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms. After that, almost all Xian Xia has fell completely flat for me. My Starry Love wasn't to bad.

Also, I agree with you about Zhao LuSi, I absolutely love her. She is an amazing actress and also seems like a sincere and kind hearted person as well.

I can't find it either. Usually if it says Disney + for the US you can try Hulu cause that is where they usually put this, but I can't even find it on Hulu either.

I disagree. She builds all kinds of things by just looking at them one time. She is actually pretty clever. The male lead does not always save her, she actually saves herself plenty and she is very strong in heart. The way she stands up and fights, especially toward the end of the series. I don't know where you get that she isn't very bright or annoying. Naive maybe, but you got to understand the character was not taught how to be a lady, her parents left her with her grandmother right after she was born and the grandmother and aunt never taught her to read or etiquette, etc.

I miss seeing him. I want to see him acting in dramas again. I hope he finds a good studio or better management team to get him better roles.

I have recently become a huge fan of Gong Hyo Jin, so I am excited to see her in this, and especially with Lee Min Ho. They look like they will have amazing chemistry. Although, I am not fond of any type of sci fi series or drama will try and give this one a shot. I don't really like supernatural stuff that much either, but I surprisingly enjoyed GHJ's The Master's Son.

I think it will be hard to watch this, because I absolutely love the Korean drama. I don't know about the casting either. I guess I will have to try and watch it, but most often when I try to watch a drama after watching the originals or something similar it doesn't usually go well. The only exception being Hana Yori Dango/Boys Over Flowers/Meteor Garden.

I wish she had more fighting scenes as well. But honestly the last fight scene she had, I definitely could tell it was a stunt double. I like being able to watch and not tell and imagine that the actual actor did their own stunts. As great as I thought this was, there were a few off bits during the fighting scenes.

General and I, Legend of Fu Yao, New Life Begins, The Legends, The Princess Wei Young, The Rebel Princess, The Song of Glory, The Story of Ming Lan (she is not very strong, but she is extremely smart and cunning), Under the Power, The Blooms of Ruyi Pavilion

These are a few that I like, very smart women, some are strong and smart. Some are just really smart and cunning, especially The Princess Wei Young and The Story of Ming Lan. They are all very good, imo. Most of them are older (as in before 2020), but they don't make very man dramas like they use to. The newer dramas are sometimes harder to keep my attention, because they are reusing bits of other stories or are just predictable. New Life Begins is really nice and easy going, very smart female cast, it is one of the few more recent costume dramas I have enjoyed. Also, of course (I didn't put this up at the top, but) Love like the Galaxy.

Just finished this drama and I loved it. It was really good and cute. The story was so much better than a few of Jeremy Tsui's recent dramas. This one actually kept me engaged and I enjoyed the story and the acting. The only negative is I hated the "3rd Couple", I guess you might call them that, not her maid servant, but Yun Han and Xiu Ying ? pairing, their story was a bit boring to me and probably the only parts where I would have fast forwarded and probably will if I ever watch it again.

I absolutely love the FL and ML. Although, the story and writing in this is very lacking. It is also very predictable. I did start fast-forwarding after episode 15 or so and then started skipping episodes at 20. The story itself was a bit boring and basically repetitive of most other xianxias. It did have great acting (actors as well) in it though, which is disappointing cause of the lack of unique story made it fail. The sets and the costumes are beautiful. They did really well with the scenery as well, but I think that is the only saving grace of this unfortunately.

I am so excited for this!!! Just watched the last episode wrap video, it showed the production, behind the scenes, costumes, set, etc. It looks amazing.
