It’s a sub-plot and not the main focus. The leads are also not paired together. There are 3 main official couples:
SMY & BHH
MYM & TLY
MXW & MQY
Depending on how you see things, some people also feel this pair is a couple:
SMY & SCH

Marie Claire is just the right amount of makeup but it might not be suitable for the stage.

I think its release has been rescheduled.

I hope so too. I also really hope they don’t suppress or mess with Feng Miaojun. I’m still upset about how Love and Crown took away Cangcang’s highlights/storyline and gave them to other characters.

Yeah, tbh from a styling standpoint, all of her dresses/looks have been on point. The stylist really deserves praise. So many of these big actresses with big time endorsements wear dresses that don’t fit but her dresses are all well fitted and suit her without falling into that pretty but bland aesthetic that so many others are stuck in. Now, it’s just a matter of fine-tuning the hair and makeup.

Pure Tragedy. There are character deaths and separations but this drama excels in the tragedy category not because of its events per se but because it really understands the drivers behind tragedy. Especially in regards to character flaws.

Feng Miaojun hurry up!!! TBBM, you better be a sweet drama🙏I’m on my third rewatch of Love and Crown and if I watch it anymore, Cangcang’s ending is going to make me die of depression😭

The pretty faces are legit. They also didn’t use skin filters or smoothing so there’s no enhancements. It’s 100% based on the good looks of the cast.

I still haven’t found a Cdrama able to do what this show did. Even though it has its flaws, I think it’s a really brilliant show for being able to make the audience feel its characters truly were alive and that its ending is the best ending. I walked away with such an intense feeling of both relief and grief that I haven’t been able to forget the show. I watched this show 6 years ago and still feel sad when I see Xiao Feng.

After editing Xiao Ran’s videos for the past year or so, I really hope she can work with more skilled directors and productions who can capture and showcase her brilliance. Lately, I’ve been editing Cangcang and Nie Sangyu and the acting is so beautiful, logical, and natural and the transitions and emotional build-up are so smooth that I am just constantly blown away by her talent.

It’s pretty much a legend when it comes tragedy so it’s definitely a “watch at your own risk” show. I thought I loved tragedies when I started it but got my soul rocked at the end and haven’t really watched tragedies since😭😂.

I think it’s a spring gala performance. She seems to be doing one for Kuaisho but I don’t remember her filming it yet.

The plot. If you just want to see PXR and plot isn’t a big deal, then it’s worth it for her acting and beauty.

Both have their merits but Goodbye My Princess is one of the rare drama adaptations that is thought to be as good as or better than the book. Personally, I think the book is sadder and more ruthless.
That said, the acting and world building in the drama are very good, bringing the characters and the story to life. The political backdrop gives the romance higher and more profound stakes and the grayness of the characters is something not seen too much nowadays. The drama is also a near perfect example of corruption arcs and how character flaws can drive tragedy.
