Im actually saddend by the fact that the beautiful copper coin scene (i dont know the chinese name) which was…
I agree tf is all this about?? before I started watching this I thought the second couple was actually a couple because of the comments. But imagine! it’s actually a hostage situation and not a couple at all! I wish I could skip every comment with their names in it because their tainting my comment section experience
Oh my godd. Exactly i missed that one. Why was xz criticised for the forced kiss. It was a hot scene but instead…
Jealousy is toxic Wdym He’s not a bad person and both of them were really angry in the moment and he was having a lot of feelings, but it doesn’t change that it was wrong that he kissed her like that. That isn’t to be appreciated. What’s great about that scene is that FL had the guts to ask him why he harassed her.
When couples argue in a relationship they sometimes say things they don't mean. The goal is just to shut the other…
100%half the time I see a real couple fight, after the first sentences the rest becomes ridiculous. you won’t even be able to remember what started it in the first place
On episode 16 currently. I’m pretty sure FL has a growing crush and can’t seem to figure out how to manage or navigate it but knows she wants nothing to do with it lol. It’s so funny. And she’s basically the poster girl for🫸CALM DOWN EVERYONE, I’m okay, it’s okay, everything is okay 🫷even when it’s evidently not so okay lol. The table scene with the second concubine and their husband is a legendary example I was right when I thought I wouldn’t think polygamy in a show like this would not be cute. It isn’t. Fl gets me because she nearly chokes each time he shows her affection in front of the others. Her soul almost leaves her body. Seriously cracks me up. So not cute, but creates some funny situations indeed.
Chemistry stronger than the walls they build✨ Lu Yuxiao is so cute, it’s nearly unbelievable.The character is so adorable that she gives me cuteness agression. The funniest part is that she gives the ML cuteness agression too. So it feels like both of us are crashing out over her loll. If she complains about something I literally see him think “omg my baby🥹” with the most adoring eyes ever and sometimes the vibe I get when he’s looking at her is the vibe that “she’s so beautiful I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of this face”. It feels really natural. And you know he doesn’t say any of this. I can just feel it. I can feel what they’re both thinking and I just think that’s very cool. Amazing performance by the directors, actors and everyone involved. The warm feelings the story and characters evoke is impressive. I’ve always liked Yuxiao but Xingxu’s smile is a discovery I made on this show. His smile is so pretty and warm that I went a started watching another show he’s in asap.
Now what also Subin really needs is to get his big break as an actor. I know it's too early but marrying into…
They're still so young! When I see comments about -oh they don't communicate well and such- I'm like they're just so young. They still have so much to learn about how to make a relationship work
I wish they got to spend time together like a reulaf couple but it’s fine. It’s just a little sorry because…
I'm wondering how to rate this. Korean writers tend to be very ambitious, and you can tell from the writing that they're often going for depth in their stories. Even the directing tries to bring out beauty and symbolism at many points. I never rate them just based on enjoyment because of this, because they're also not going for just enjoyment (or at least those are the types of kdramas I tend to watch more often). I tend to rate Cdramas based on just enjoyment because I think they largely go for a more straightforward approach, although they have important stories too, of course. But because of this, I rate them based on enjoyment and not so much on technical strength or dynamism. So, my ratings for Cdramas tend to be higher. So now I'm just thinking that it would be nice if I could somehow incorporate this nuance or show when I did consider all this and when it was just pure enjoyment. So, I've rated this an 8 because I could see where it was trying to be deep and copped out, or when a shot was trying to be adventurous- or supposed to show more depth- or where the dialogue was slipping because I can tell that maybe those are not the best words in the moment because they don't exactly match the tone in the moment- basically, I can see when the directors are trying to do something adventurous but don't stick that landing, and so I'm like nope you didn't stick that one- thought it was cool that you tried. It's different from a show that isn't adventurous about these things or doesn't experiment with its tones. So consistency is safety indeed, but in the end, this is an 8, but it's endearing to me because I can see all that effort and how much thought was going into some of these scenes, but didn't quite meet what they really were going for, hence, my expectations too. So, I really cherish that they tried and that makes the drama all the more to me. So, it's an 8, but it doesn't show how much love I had for it. Because of this, it ends up feeling like I underscored it. I actually think a lot of people do this too (maybe subconsciously?), and this is why Cdramas have higher ratings on average than Kdramas on MDL. It feels like an older kdrama, and I love that about it. Maybe I'll bump it up to an 8.5 later? We'll see
