I think the drama was 62-64 episodes at first, so if part 2 is 24 eps then they deleted a good 6-8 episodes https://x.com/ForCdrama/status/1853771777731641727
SMH. Sad reality. I think its why some parts were so choppy.
Just finished. If I didn't know there was going to be a second season, I would have broke something close by. LMAO I think they ended this well, but by the end of this season, I was tired of how good they hide their love for each other. I can only take so much gooey eyes for each other...I hope in season 2 they are able to hold each other with so much love, its makes up for season 1's lack of romance. I feel the editing was so strange in this show. They definitely deleted a lot of good parts I feel.
JCY and Mudan fell in love in probably one of the most realistic ways. They are the typical best friends who end up with each other by a certain age if neither gets married to someone else. lol Okay 24 episodes to show us your love, JCY and Mudan! Don't let us down! I'm really hoping they don't air season 2 next year.
Huge shout out to the actress who played Shengyi, actress Shao Yun. She was amazing in this character. I hope she continues to build her acting career because she is truly an amazing actress! Every emotion, tear, hardship she went through, I felt it! I will never forget Qin Shengyi. She represents so many abused women out there, I hope all women have the power to improve themselves, like what Mudan always told Shengyi, cherish yourself. T_T.
I'm having mixed feelings about this drama. It's really good, like I love Mudan, she's very likeable. But she…
What do you mean she don't show empathy? LOL she just took revenge on the Liu family for her late mother and Yulu. Sounds like someone who can't let go of empathy, they must avenge their loved ones to move forward. When she confines her secrets to ML, their conversations are of their loved ones mostly. lol
Waste of time. Don't bother. I'm already at episode 24 and there's no point in watching this. I'm not going to…
LOL I think no one understands FL as well as ML, not even some people who is watching (like you). He's not willing to help unless he is needed. I think FL is clear headed and strong enough to handle/scheme better then the ML. Even when she is harassed, she consults with ML and they plan together, so not sure why you think he's just standing by when he's in on her ideas too... Also, if you were never in SY's position, I don't think you have the right to judge how her life became what it was. Its not something outside people can change or judge, even FL understood this and let her go to WQ.
"What I hate the most, is being a woman. Once a woman is despised by her husband, why is she then despised by the whole world?" - Shengyi
T_T Damn this line!! Its 2025 and this line still holds true to many women around the world. Wow. This line really made me think. We must all work towards a better future so our children will not have to utter these type of words again.
I don't know about anyone else but I liked Shengyi's arc. It was painful to watch but its very realistic. She even admitted she had no one like Mudan did, she felt useless. When someone is this low in their life, they will grasp at anything, even if the consequences are harmful to themselves or people close to them. For someone who is not in her shoes, I try to understand her. I cannot hate her. For someone who's been abused by her family and husband, I cannot sit here and blame her for being so weak. Her brain is wire differently from Mudan's. Even Mudan understood this, I will strive to be like Mudan towards SY. Their scene in episode 23 was heartbreaking, when SY left, she knows she is wrong and as long as she knows this, even I can forgive her. I can only hope SY returns into Mudan's life as a stronger person. She deserves this happiness too.
He loves her already. He was missing her so much he went to the place they first met.
I get that, he loves her but how its shown isn't enough for me to accept his love. They need to show that JCY has more emotions and I think they missed big time when they didn't get his reaction to her being a slave. They are best friends, how can they not show how worried he was when he found out where she ended up. I was waiting for such a scene. He knows she is strong but I needed him to want to save her so bad it would kill him if he didn't make it on time. This type of feeling I need from JCY now.
Why am I so disappointed they didn't show how JCY reacts to Mudan ending up as a slave?!! He just popped out of no where to save her at night then explained how he found out. I needed to see his anger, sadness, eagerness to reach her!! WHY DID THEY NOT FILM SUCH A SCENE?!! Such a scene would make viewers yearn even more for their love. Now I'm sure, he doesn't love her yet. Jeez, so cold. I was all excited he would find her and hug her, feel desperate to be with her, but nope! He's there to save the flower maiden who tends to his garden at home. SMH.
this drama has highest rating among all airing cdramas on douban rn but has the lowest rating here, which platform…
I thought Douban was the official drama/film ratings site in China, is it not? I would trust Douban since its the Chinese equivalent of Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB.
I think he's just an envoy for the King. He just oversees what the King wants, like the messenger, in between guy between the King and other government officials.
