Percabeth

No way, he seem surprised & really freaked out when he thought she might be alive and he even went to check her grave. If he hoped, that's not that reaction he is giving. Flute represents their memories. He really intend to kill her. I will never forgive him (even if he got ordered by princess to kill her), he choosed his life, achievements & his family over her life. In novel they even killed their unborn child. Moveover he choosed on how to kill her...and now even the thought of she might be alive, it's giving him nightmares and anxiety, he is freaking out. Moreover it's seem that he is cheating on fl with princess before fl's death, remember that ornament (or scent bottle) the princess wearing at her waist..There is no redemption for him to me.

In the novel..no, he doesn't die. They will spread the rumor that he dies in order to lure the enemy out, after that ml returns home to fl. It's a happy ending, don't worry.

I'm sorry I can't understand what you are saying. But the wattpad link you wrote is upto 50 chapters. But the novel is 200+ chapters. The wattpad link you sent is still 'ongoing'. Many novel readers who read completely said Duke(ml) and fl do end up together and they have daughter. So your theories & assumptions maybe not true. As for fl & cousin ...I don't think they even do fake marriage (as you assumed) in the novel & drama, they may act like fake lovers....as someone said in the comment that it is cover up, ruse & faking. So don't worry, in the end duke (ml) & fl are together.

I haven't read the novel but someone who read said that in novel ML and FL end up together, they even have a daughter. Also I think the rumor ( your friend told you) is not true. Everyone who read the novel said ml and fl have happy ending together .

Why??? I hope they won't cut important scenes but every little scenes are important in this type of drama. I really hope they won't cut romance part🥲

I think what above comment/person is saying is ..Both fl & ml are using each other in their plans, they both are aware of it since beginning ( they both even said to eachother couple of times), ml still didn't fully used her/ask favor for his plan & he is hesitant in doing so. I think 'using' is not a correct word rather it is " helping hand/ with the help of other" is a correct word. As they both falling for each other, everything is interlinked. Their relationship is mutually beneficial unlike the relationship with shen guy where that shen guy benefited but she didn't.

"He benefited", who is he? You meant that 'shen' guy.

You talked about some people calling them 'pedophile'. Now-a-days people thrown this word like anything and anywhere ...it's making me extremely uncomfortable. Pedophile means 'when adults sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children(usually children of 11 yrs below)'. Dating someone when their age gap is 1 to 3 years is perfectly normal. They are not pedophile. Yes, age of consent to have sex is different thing but the main issue is they are not pedophile.
If we talk about age of consent to have sex ...yes it is true that in some countries it is 16+ , it varies in some countries. Even if it not legal to have sex in some countries, there are some 'Romeo and juliet law' in some countries and also people can date a person without involving sex if it isn't legal to have sex in some countries ( there is no law that against dating with small age gap without involving sex) .
What I'm saying is people need to differentiate 'pedophile ' and 'age of consent to have sex'. In this drama both terms doesn't applicable.
Great review by the way😊

Re-watching again. Does anyone have nice edit for this drama? This drama is a gem but there are few dramas with a same name, so this was unfortunately missed out.

Same lol...I really disliked SML in this.

Loved the drama. Acting of the leads is really good. The only one whose acting never convinced me is Long zhi ( Meng zi yi). Story is good despite little flaws. It is rewatchable for me.
In romance department I can tell why leads fell for each other...they both are great in their own way. Main leads - Chang Dong is really intelligent and with a quick mind and wit. He is calmn, have logical thinking, bit reserved, compassionate , kind and merciful. Ye Liu xi is such a badass character, fearless, smart, bit shameless lol, funny, powerful. When they met I can tell they are compatible. The romance went naturally. They both are brave, decisive, love their bickering and have very comedic wit. Both are the definition of powerful together and felt equal in relationship. For me the relationship is healthy enough and mature. What I liked about them is the communication between them and the way they respect each other, mutual understanding, have good rapport and felt equal.

The gang of the leads is good, they all have good rapport and comedy....don't forget the roaster lol. The way they solve the mystery is good. The plot have some flaws but the drama is so enjoyable.

Most pitiful characters are Jiang zhan and Gao shen. I know Jiang zhan character is not gonna end well but I really wished he atleast have reunion with female lead. Despite his painful past and suffering, the character lacked depth. From what I got from the past Jiang zhan is innocent, hardworking, loves female lead, later had brutal strength but that's it. I know even in their past that they were only friends. From what I felt even in friendship female lead overpowered Jiang zhan, they never felt equal. Of course they cared for each other but I can understand why she (female lead ) never fell for Jiang zhan despite years of friendship. Because they are not compatible and not well matched. For me they never had any love potential but have friendship potential.

Second female lead ( Long zhi) loves Jiang zhan and it seems jiang zhan have feelings for her and are in the relationship in the past. But their relationship is really hard, toxic and I never felt connected with them mainly because of Meng yi zhi's (long zhi)acting. Long zhi is interesting and very smart. I really wished they showed Long zhi time in jail and jiang zhan reunion with his friend. I know he is feeling guilty and I always felt he has weak mentality from the beginning, so it felt less surprising for me when he ended his life.

Gao shen life is really pitiful, I wished they showed his life after he became puppet, atleast they have sort of have happy ending.

Fantasy- The mystery and fantasy is good and they balanced very well with pace of the story. The mystery and romance is very balanced to the plot. I'm satisfied.

Another thing is - For me it has satisfying ending but if the negotiation happens after the built up fight then it would be great. The Ye liuxi present is changed person , she wanted freedom of her people but not in the cost of so many lives. In the past Ye liu xi is ruthless but in present she really is calm and soft heartened after she met chang dong and their friends. If there is way out of this for a peaceful negotiation then its understandable and I agree with. The fight happened but the fight is not so great. But it have very satisfying ending for me. Another thing is female lead really looked badass and very convincing acting
Totally for me it's a worth of watch- 9.5/10. I'm gonna re-watch again

When someone says truth and lie, the sound is different. If someone says truth its sounds something like "zig" and someone says lie "bell sound". The sounds are different. So when Deuk Chen answered first question he said the truth. I know its pretty confusing but if you listen again there is a difference. So sol hee didn't lie to do ha. Deuk Chen indeed believed Do ha didn't kill her.

Wow...youku eng subs are not good. There are many mistakes. I hope they re-check it. But drama is interesting and waiting for the episodes. Is it really 1 ep per day?

The drama is so good, I really wish they release all the episodes. The actors did really good job. It's such a shame that the drama got canceled, all the efforts of crew is wasted. Is there any way we can get them back?

In which country viki is available for this drama? Please someone tell me. I really want good subs. I heard that this drama was re-edited or some scenes were removed. So please can someone tell me where can i watch without re-edited.

I guess there will be always a dilemma (something similar happened to me) - where there is much more money V/S decent money. In yutu's case this dilemma happened because he thought if serious things happen in future, will he afford? That's why he is thinking like that, he is thinking whether he is stealing the luxury of his parents because of his dream. He is thinking whether he is doing right or wrong. It is a human nature.

I can understand what you are saying. What you wanted in this drama will be shown in the later episodes.

P.S: I also think Reba is hot!!

In the novel, he says that he pays more than 10,000 yuan a month and still more than 12 yrs left on the mortgage. The stress is there but not so much. He still have some money left with his current job but he can earn more money in financial field because he wanted to give more luxury to his parents.
