Hahaha, I still remember when this started and everyone kept saying that 24 episodes is the perfect length... I wonder how many of them are eating their words now 🤣 It seems quite unfair, though. The dreary Journey of ChongZi had 40 painfully repetitive episodes whereas this delightful gem only has 24...
When HL's mother asks her how she would feel about the CP being with another woman and she crushes the walnut 🤣🤣🤣 it's such a beautiful take on a typical macho stereotype!!
What’s the Aunt Princess Le Yang’s history/problem with LL’s mom? It sounds like she’s jealous of General…
When Hua Liuli asked her mother about it she couldn't remember anything that she may have done to upset LeYang (but she has a tendency to forget about unimportant people). The only other thing that I've seen mentioned is that General Wei was the no. 1 beauty in their youth, so maybe it's just plain old jealousy... I'm still reading... so there might be something else that will only come up later...
Our Yuansu is so freaking cute 🤧Ahhhh I love seeing LL's jealousyCP's relationship with the emperor is so refreshing…
Yes, this has to be one of the best emperors I've seen in a historical. It's such a refreshing change from the usual stereotypes of either dumb/ignorant or eaten up by ambition.
I rofl so hard watching ep 17 🤣🤣🤣Yuansu: wait, who were you called big sister?Xie Yao: the two ladies…
🤣🤣🤣 The dialogues in the drama are really quite creative! The "I'm a beast" is actually a joke from the novel but they have changed it slightly: In the beginning, the Crown Prince honestly only regarded Hua Liuli as a little sister (according to the novel she was only 15 years old...) and when the Emperor asks him about his feelings for her, he answers "I only regard her as a little sister, I'm not an animal!" in his usual nonchalant manner. Later on he gets to eat his words... 😂
I hated the fact that they couldn't have just portrayed her second life only and, in a way, told the viewer she…
Yes, that point irritated me too. When I saw her as a strong, clever woman in the second life I had high hopes for her character, only to be bitterly disappointed by the girlie-who-can't-speak-up-for-herself scenes that followed. Blame it on the writers who seem to think that because this is xianxia nothing needs to make any sense. This is a drama where people intensely love or hate each other for absolutely no other reason than "the script says so".
What on earth is that with the girl from the future and the rubrik's cube - especially when she's not the female…
I absolutely loved that one! Yes, it's totally absurd, but so is the trope of the clever person from the future (who still knows exactly how everything works in another century).
Started skipping all the scenes that don't feature the leads. They barely have any i interactions in recent episodes,…
I quite like the fact that there are none of the cliched scenes of FL tripping over her own feet and ML catching her. Yes, they talk a lot but for me that's the sign of an adult relationship. Romance can be conveyed in many ways other than the lame old "staring-in-each-others-eyes-in-slow-motion" trope which is so overused. The way the ML is desperately enduring boredom waiting for her at her parents house, or the way they both think of each other when apart are going a long way to show us how they feel. The scenes with the other couple Jiamin/Prince Ying are quiet hilarious so by skipping them you're probably missing half of the fun...
HL's mom is quite a character! There's a funny side-story about her in the novel (which I don't think we'll get…
I cannot say the same. Staying with an abusive, arrogant guy (as the FL does in Twin Flower) is not really the sign of a strong and independent woman. I dropped that one as quickly as I started because of this.
I actually like He Yuanting. Yes he is supposed to be on the villain's side and will do annoying things, but maybe…
I think in this drama none of the characters were written for us to really hate them. That's one of the things that I love so much about it! Even if some people pursue different goals they all have their own motivation which is different from a lot of other dramas where characters hate and want to kill each other and nobody really knows why.
You must have just started watching😅…have a patience,good things need time.Not everything is as it seems.❣️
It's what I said from the start, no clever, self-respecting woman would stay with a guy like this for more than 5 min. So the whole premise of the drama is illogical.
