I watched the RR and the Romance of a twin flowers in the same time ( dropped after ep.19, no logic , infantile…
Comparing is human...we all do it! Just some people may not be ready to admit it. 😆
There are many good actresses around and it's not always those that are hyped the most. I first saw + liked Meng ZiYi in Ever Night. It was a good role! The FL in Twin Flower wasn't bad either, but the whole premise for the drama just had no logic (if she was such an independent, clever "modern" woman, why stay with an abusive a'hole of a husband?). Dropped it after the 1st episode.
While I'm overall enjoying this drama, I have to say that the horses that they used for this look truly terrible. It's rather abusive to make such emaciated creatures carry around people. Whenever there's a close-up, their eyes look dead. It's sad to see the life of horses in c-dramaland still hasn't improved much.
They made quite a few changes, but both versions can stand on their own. The drama version has taken a lot of inspiration from small details in the novel to preserve the overall character and it is definitely a very good adaptation. ML's poison tongue is not quite as poisonous as in the novel.
Guyss should I give this one a try? I was in the middle of watching Starry Love but somewhere in the middle I…
It's different from TSL, no pink overload, no glitter, just nice costumes in good colours. The acting is decent, there are no really annoying characters and there is a lot of subtle comedy that often plays on the usual stereotypes.
For me it's the opposite! I don't want this to finish because a) I'm enjoying it very much (re-watching some older…
Also, I'm quite sure there will be a happy ending, because the novel has it. We just cannot be sure how good it will be as the drama version has barely covered half of the novel so far, so there may be a bit of a rush towards the end. I hope not because so far the adaptation (with all its changes) has been quite good. At least, since this is a historical, not a xianxia, they cannot give us a crappy ending that shows they both go living in a sword, or a painting or a cat collar.
I understand how you feel about the Rise of Phoenixes. That one had me shell-shocked for a while...
I have never wanted a drama to finish airing so much so I can start watching it 🤣My fear is if I start it now,…
For me it's the opposite! I don't want this to finish because a) I'm enjoying it very much (re-watching some older episodes on days without new episodes), and b) I've realised that after this there will probably be no further drama with Jeremy Tsui for the rest of the year 😱😱😱
Can y’all let me know where’s the supposed comedy in this? I’m on ep 4 & it’s dragging. Will it get better?…
The humour lies mainly in the subtle little details and the development of the characters. The pretend coughing is funny because it's so predictable and HL's "acting sick" is so bad. The more you pay attention to the little details, the funnier it gets. If you're expecting slapstick toilet humour (as in My Uncanny Destiny) you may be disappointed.
Why was episode 19 aired today? Did they changed the airing dates?
The seem to have created an exception from the usual schedule only for today, maybe just to give us that kiss before the next airing pause... You can see the airing calendar in the photos section of this page.
THE CONFESSION AND KISS 🥰🥰cursing the director for that far shot though
Yeah, I don't know what's going on with the censorship rules regarding kisses. In some dramas they are as hot as can be and in others we only get blurred shots or everything is cut out completely (and only seen in BTS footage or other leaks).
Quick question how old is the crown prince supposed to be? it has been bothering me alot I remember them mentioning…
I think she mentions in one of the first episodes that she was 18 years old. The Crown Prince should be a good deal older than her because in the novel he considers her a little sister, rather than a love-interest, at first. I don't think that they mention in the drama how old he's supposed to be, but based on timeline, etc. I would guess late twenties. In the novel the Crown Prince was only a few months younger than the "eldest brother" and his 2nd brother. In the drama version they changed the order and number of what was originally five princes (with CP being the 3rd Prince and the weird painter being the 5th Prince).
