yuh-uu

one sided crush that he eventually realized will never come true. as much as he dislikes the fact that she does favour the marquis more than him (or anyone else), he respects that nobody else could ever match her in all terms of status, sacrifices etc other than the marquis himself so,, he slowlys just focus in supporting changyu in the end. not truly liking marquis, not hating him either.

he really is a villain in yu qianqian's life so,, a SE for second cp means a HE ending for yu qianqian and her bao'er :'))

like what vievie01 said, their marriage in the first place was considered not legal since the husband name is not the real one, but in their heart they are always one. general public dont know abt their first marriage, until when they officially get married in a grand waaayyyy later, there even rumours that changyu most definitely love her "humble background first husband" more since everyone knows the reason she first joined army back then was to find her husband bfr, so marquis (later his title actually even higher rank) even have his xie family guards bribe beggars in streets to spread the rumour that he is, in fact the first humble husband of changyu xD

they will, at one point, goes separate ways during the war but in the end they love each other too much that they cant bear to not be together.

bad news is, in the novel they consummate wayy in later chapters,, so i would assume the drama follows that pace too. after all their marriage for now is just a "fake marriage" on paper to help changyu secure her house.

and be prepared for more political parts to unfold once changyu joined the army. they will be angst to their romance due to previous generation issue, but in the end they have a happy ending in novel, though im not sure how they will translate it in the show.

pls someone give me suggestion for another long period family show like this one,, i have watched lltg, yanxi palace, romance in the alley (not period show but of similar genre, imo), blossom, dream of splendor.

i came here from gimbap and onigiri,, and i blame his bangs and his really round eyes for that hahahahhh it feels as if im watching jungkook acting on screen 🤣

ahhh now i remember him!! thanks a lot! (was surprised to see him in the cast list cz i knew him from another drama but didnt remember which scene he was in this one, hence my question earlier hehe)

was rewatching resplay again and just realized that the first time that devil senior (forgot the name lol myeong sumn ig) attacked on ohyiyoung was cz she refused gong's offer to suture pt?? ((referring to when ohyiyoung ended her call and then she was saying sumn abt that words that yiyoung said to the prof back then))

so just wondering what is it to her abt that thing?? was she shouldering the "responsibility" to giving scoldings to juniors or what?? or cz she was pissed off cz she needs to cover yiyoung when she flat out refused the prof???

if anyone can explain me the context here other than her being a b*tch or sumn lmao thanks sm 🙏🙏

can somebody tell me when was huan er lang introduced in the story? i forgot about him and i cannot recall his role in the story 😭

so you want suspense/thriller dramas? or just "short", modern dramas in general?

if suspense, perhaps you can try under the skin (2022), theres 2 season for this show but s1 >>> s2 imo. theyre planning for s3 too btw just for info.

if "short", modern drama, you can try oh no! here comes trouble (2023). this is a taiwanese drama but this is worth it srsly i had lots of laughter watching this one, got spooked several times too xD

side note: both of the shows i gave 10/10 personally hahahahh

can someone count if the letters they exchanged totaled up to 12? i want to know if thats the reason the title is 12 letters, but i dont want to rewatch again cz i just cried my heart out finishing this and i hv no tears left inside me hshsgs welppp

can anyone tell me who is yu zhiyong to a xun? i srsly cant remember who he is 😭🙏

just like the other person, i would also want to recommend nagatan to aoto and kono sekai no katasumi ni !!

i think this type of "during-war-time dramas" need to hv a name to call as a genre on its own hahahahh both dramas have cute couples and is on a MAX slowburn, im talking /major/ slowburn here btw hahahahh

but! if you enjoyed nami meoto biyori, i think you will def find these two enjoyable too !! (just like me!) ^^

try using vpn. i used that to watch on yt

AHHHHH okay now i remember the foster father scene!! tysm trunketa18! 😁

hi can someone help jog my memory a bit as to who is chen jia cz i for one couldnt remember anything abt him until his appearance when delivering the wedding gift hshs likee??? who is he and how is he connected/indebted to them both??

yep

Here lemme answer your questions 😊

1- Episode 3, nearing the end. Their first actual interaction.
2- Overall I think almost 35% or so. It's not as much as the main couple, but because their story arc is more fleshed out and has more depth than the main, it's pretty satisfying. Though I can't remember specifically, but I'm pretty sure we can see them at least once in every episode (they can be seen moreeee after he fell for her later on hahahh)
3- Nope, they were both good people and no they were not the love interest of the main leads in past life, they were actually reincarnated soulmates tbh
4- This one I can't remember clearly, but "starting to like each other" came pretty late cz she thought there's no way he actually liked her for real when he first confessed. The guy fell for her first, and boy he fell for her very hard indeed 😂 He was so cuteeee when he tried to give gifts to her hahahhah I love him so much >.<
5- I think the only misunderstanding they had was when she thought his confession was a tease and not serious. I can't recall any other big misunderstandings though
6- Watching the entire drama (including the main couple) just for them, no, it's not worth it. Watching ONLY their part (plus when they're together with the male lead), YES. The friendship bond between ML and SML also reminds me of Goblin's, if you know that one. Basically their bromance is cute, esp when they seek each others' advice on love hahahh
7- Yes they do get a happy ending and yes practically everyone loves them moreeee than the main couple so I can see why only they got your attention 😌

Conclusion-
Please do watch their story arc, they're so cuteee and the guy really just understands and embrace the girl's personality without trying to change her way of thinking or anything (and that's saying a lot considering his status at the time). There's a reason why so many people keep singing praises for them, their loveline is soooo refreshing and cute and gahhhhh I love them so much!! 😖🤧

Please watch Marvelous Women if you haven't yet!! I am really amazed with the women in that drama, really fit the title well, they are all marvelous women indeed. The enemies to comrades relationship between FL and SFL is like none other (that I had watched before), and I absolutely love the way that drama portrayed realistically how a woman of that era tried and wondered to be more than what was written in their rules, all those wanting to do this but have to wait for some time or have to sacrifice this and that, and I personally think it's better in terms of really staying true to the customs of back then compared to SoY.

Yeah, I had a discussion with another friend and she said there might be some condition like minimum number of reviews submitted or number of viewers watched for the ratings to be shown. She said she'd saw a few other dramas still have no rating even after finished months before, so,,, that might be the case. Cause wrc's new (still-airing) drama: Dear Diary, already has their rating shown. It's a pity though if it really is the reason,, especially for dramas that has no traffic actors or known ones, no matter how great they are :'<
