I am Chinese so I know about Chinese cultures and its Dynasty history.
You said about Jane Austen, but idk with Western rules/norms about first cousin marriages in Europe.
But what I said before is the rules/norms for first cousin marriages in Chinese cultures. Korean also adopted many of Chinese cultures and Chinese characters because they have the same roots with Chinese, so they followed this one as well.
okay so im barely into this drama(episode wise) but I have a question. Am I correct in thinking that the ML's…
Yes they are first cousin but with different surname. ML is a 7th prince of Zhou Dynasty (so his surname is Yu like Emperor surname), then the Grand Princess (The Emperor's sister, her surname is also Yu) married to her husband with surname Cui. Her daughter will follow her husband surname, Cui. So Yu Qi and Cui Mingyue are the first cousin with different surnames. They can marry each other because their surname is different.
But it usually can't be applied to first cousin with SAME surname. It means like Yu Qi wanna marry the daughter of Emperor's brothers. Because the daughter will have the same surname Yu like his father (Emperor's brother).
This drama is what you call an escape from a stressfull life. What a wholesome beautiful drama. I binged watched…
He is still doing costume dramas. JUST FYI. Chasing Jade is his newest costume drama with Tian Xi Wei. They are still shooting the drama right now.
Also, ZLH is very handsome in Costume dramas with long hair. You should watch My Journey To You, Story of Kunning Palace, Love Rebellion, The Princess Royal, etc. He is soooo DAMN HANDSOME in MY JOURNEY TO YOU with elegant dark costumes and silky black long hair. He is also very handsome in Story of Kunning Palace and Love Rebellion.
Si Jin is still on going at March 17th. I don't think it's possible. This is a major drama category. From the…
If you love Wu Jin Yan, please watch Kill Me Love Me. It is SO GOOD. The production designs are more expensive. It's on par with The Princess Royal production but KMLM cinematography is more dramatic and beautiful. KMLM was rated as S production from Youku.
Liu Xue Yi is also so handsome in Kill Me Love Me. He give the vibes like "Handsome but Dangerous" as Red Flag ML.
Scent of Time is A Production (middle budget). It's between A to A+ but I think it's around A production. Especially SoT was airing before Story of Kunning Palace.
For WXY next Costume drama like Calming Waves, It's still A+ production from iQiyi. But the one with Bai Lu, it should be S rated production.
Aiyooooo you need to differentiate between modern romance IDOL dramas (The First Frost, The Best Thing, Ski Into Love, etc) vs mainstream slice of life drama with common people reality background like Northward.
Of course IDOL ROMANCE DRAMAS with all pretty and handsome celebrities are more popular and trending in everywhere.
Northward still have Bai Lu and maybe Zhai Zi Lu who can be classified as popular/traffic celebrities. It helped this drama to gain more attentions. Honestly, If there is no Bai Lu in this drama, I don't think Bai Lu fans or many ppl in MDL will watch this mainstream drama.

Wang Xing Yue was recognized because of his Zhang Zhe character from Story of Kunning Palace. But before that, he was the 2nd ML/antagonist for One & Only (A+ productions with Forever & Ever) with Bai Lu and Allen Ren.
After O&O, he was doing B+ drama productions as ML such as Your Sensibility My Destiny and First Love for starter of his career.
Before The Double, he only can get 2nd ML role in High Profile drama like Story of Kunning Palace (S drama production) and Amidst a Snowstorm of Love (S drama production).
After The Double, he is the rising star now. Li Yun Rui from Blossom also have the same case like WXY.
It made me more confused lol Mango should release the part 2 of Flourished Peony ASAP instead of giving the "rumour date" for another platform drama 😅😅😅
If Hi6 were from Youku, then we could hold its airing date as the news. But it's from another platform, then idk it's true or not lol

JUST BECAUSE THE FAILURE OF SEASON 1 😑
THEY BETTER RELEASE THIS ASAP BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS AGAIN 😑

Like I said before, Costume dramas definitely have higher viewership than modern dramas.
This is modern slice of life drama. 30M per episode is pretty high.
