I gave up after two episodes. I really don’t understand people’s fascination with these abuse/rape turning into love stories. Who on earth enjoys this? Is it the same hysterical females who scream “harassment” as soon as a guy whistles after them, who then get off on this kind of sick story???

I loved the the fact that he gives her cherries instead of the usual cherry/peach/plum blossoms that are such a typical trope in C-dramas.
I also prefer practical men who bring me food rather than flowers 😂

The problem with this kind of people isn’t that they are rational, but that they have lost their humanity. The Swiss psychologist Arno Gruen has written a number of books on how this rationality (and it’s adoption as the guiding principle by society) has led to the atrocities of the 2nd world war. It’s a very interesting read that I can wholeheartedly recommend.

I’ve come to the conclusion that the fewer scenes the ML has in an episode, the more engaging it feels.

Nice to see I’m not the only one suspecting the friend. It looks to me like Di Renjie is also already suspecting him. He gave him some very strange looks in ep. 10.

If only there was such a genius couple for historical/xianxia dramas! I’m surely not the only one wishing for some fresh ideas without the usual tropes…

That trailer looks so good! I hope we’ll get to see at least some of it soon!

That background music is so loud, they might just as well call it foreground music.
In ep. 17 it is giving me serious LOTR vibes. I was expecting a group of orcs to break through the undergrowth any minute.

Where did you watch it? Could you please share the link?

Some good news at last. Weibo message from Jeremy today:
龍🐉年《永安梦》即将播出 (in the Year of the Dragon Yong An Dream is about to be broadcast)
Yeeeeeh! Hopefully we’ll see this very soon.

I managed to stand this for exactly two episodes… the FL is overly quirky with a really irritating voice, 5he humour is slapstick-shallow and the acting isn’t much either. The already short episodes are filled with nothing but hot air.

Yes, this mask looks interesting but I haven’t yet seen a full picture of it. For once it’s not one of these ridiculous half-masks.

How does this drama not have a reverse harem tag???

Sadly this is true. People seem to be no longer capable to distinguish between being a fan and rating the quality of a drama. As soon as their idol is in it everything is fantastic.

I watched The Trust, but wasn’t too impressed with him there either. He had more opportunities to show some acting skills in that one (and he did), but overall I still found him rather bland, especially when facing off against a feisty FL. I think he is a pretty decent actor but he simply lacks the charisma required to carry a drama as ML.

For me, easily the best of 2024 to date. There wasn’t really much competition so far, although Fighting For Love is pretty entertaining.

And there was me thinking I’d never get into Chinese Opera…

Absolutely, but good ones! It hurts to see his talent wasted as training partner with yet another starlet who can barely act.
I’d like to see him move into more serious roles and maybe taking a few SML or support roles is the way to get there. Just look at the fantastic stuff he is doing on Shui Long Yin…

Jeremy getting seriously “operatic”
