Thanks for sharing (jus started this)! Glad ML will come to his senses soon.... Normal guy would know he is she in ep 1 x_x and that bath scene in ep 3. I was like "is the ML blind??!!" LOL

But hey, why 5 for music?? I thought the OST is great, been searching at music streaming apps...

Love your headline "Start for the comedy, stay for the drama and end with frustration"!! That summarizes the viewer experience. However for me, it is not just the poor writing and hurried ending episodes that spoil the drama for me... It is Jiang Chao's acting. There are 2 really good emotional scenes at the 2nd half:- FL jumping off the cliff and the Emperor asking ML to wait 1 year before clearing Han's name. Una You did a fantastic job in her scene! You really feel for her as she stood there, with her hair flapping in the wind and the pained look in her eyes. But for the other scene, Emperor completely outshine ML. I was like "your father, the Emperor, is dying and requesting you with tears in his eyes, even if you have hated him, how can you talk to him so calmly??" I am also watching Sleepless Princess and I was imagining Zheng Ye Cheng as the ML instead.... the 2nd half would have been much better if ML is played by a more capable actor.

noted and corrected :)

Thank you for this reveal!! I cannot "take it" when there's no sub plot and drama focus is entirely on their relationship, and the twists and turns.... How many miscommunications and misunderstandings until everything is clear up? Haizzz....

Should be happy ending? I mean he was telling their story to the children, and he looked contented

Agree with you! Except you missed out that horrible car accident. That entire episode, the fake agreement, car accident and post-accident reaction are poorly written. It is like the scriptwriters had a deadline and they just anyhow write to reach the objective of splitting the couple!!

Agree! 1st 10 eps are good, then it sort of became stagnant and went downhill.... until the after 3 years, when FL became a confident woman who speaks her mind, that few episodes are good! The scene of her and ML (he came down with fever) at the hotel was electrifying!!! That was the best CP moment in the whole drama (for me) ;p ;p

Hi! I finished the drama and sad to say, you can actually stop at ep 14.... there isn't much comedy after that :( and ML's one expression acting spoil the later episodes for me.... I now understand why he is the ML at My Robot Boyfriend ;p

Yes, but some translations at YouTube are wrong too. This is a historical drama with alot of idioms... but YouTube version seems the best available. If you don't mind the advertising

I'm guessing the hooded bad guy is ML's dead bro, and the body that he is preserving is the Lady Liu (or sth)... But that seem too obvious, likely to b wrong :)

The only attraction for me is the ML and FL. I like their CP moments but with no sub plot going on, it is draggy... Will probly wait until the serial ends and watch the ending

Hi, I'm actually here to try to understand the attraction of this drama.... Started watching it as 1 of my fav reviewers gave it above avg rating. But I'm really struggling.... The plus points of this drama are the 2 leads. The chemistry between them is too good, but I dislike the will-they or won't-they tensions, and the plot is really dragging!! The story has a mystery and I love mystery but this drags it out too long!! Have watched 12 episodes and feels like nothing is moving.... -_- Is the mystery worth hanging on and continuing?? Or should I read the book instead? Thanks

The translated subtitles for this drama are really bad.... ^_^

Yes it feels like alot of scenes ended up on editing floor after ep 18 or so? And they could have dedicated another episode to the time FL spent with ML as rich merchants... some dramas overdo the CP (Fairyland Lovers) while others like this one, just cut it

I didn't read the full novel, my Chinese ain't that great ;p But I skimmed thru and key plot points are as per the novel (FL did have memory loss, this is not scriptwriter's work). A few minor changes, such as FL did not attempt to commit suicide with the poisonous wine (in palace), in novel she attempted to kill herself with a knife to her neck. The novel ends when FL parted way with 2nd ML, after he rescued her from palace, and 1 year later about Han family name was cleared and how Wang An Li committed suicide while on trial for the betrayal.

The "after 3 years" in drama is not in novel. I just wonder why didn't the drama ends with them meeting in the streets, smiling at each other since the misunderstanding was cleared up and ML did what he promised FL? Might as well end on a happier note, rather then them missing each other...

Or did the director did this for a 2nd season possibility? Becos there was no mention of FL finding the decree that faked ML's stamp to inform the enemy. Instead, ML was aware Wang was going to betray Han army.... So the final scene in palace was FL demanding ML for an explanation why he had let it happened? But drama changed this to: ML not aware when it was happening and that Wang faked a decree in ML's name.

I can only find the novel in Chinese. Not sure if there is an English translation? https://m.230book.com/book/16513/

Wow, not aware of this drama with the agency.... Looks like Xiao Zhan is really having a Wei Wuxian period....

Are you referring to the AO3 saga? This video gives a good timeline on what happened:- https://youtu.be/jEGmw65kt1c
And a Xiao Zhan's interview after the scandal. He briefly talked on the matter at 7:30 https://youtu.be/5GH8b9I1aKw

Drama has yet to confirm release date but we have 280 comments here.... Everyone is eagerly waiting for its release!!

I am looking forward to this drama. The pairing of Xiao Zhan and Yang Zi is so adorable!!! And refreshing to watch Yang Zi in a serious role, no "act cute" here.

Hope it would be released soon? o_O

Really??!!! May I ask on which platform it'd be released on?
