Sort of… the SML likes the FL, but it is rather one-sided. Romance isn’t the main focus of the novel. I’m…
Those are some awesome photos you've uploaded! They're from a dramatic scene between the ML/FL - I've seen a short clip of it... This is going to be good!!
Here’s the synopsis according to Douban (machine translation): Xue Wan'er, who pursued free love, was not allowed by her family and was deceived and used by her elder sister. After the rebirth of Nirvana, she fought with her enemies and fought against the feudal pedantic etiquette. After all kinds of ups and downs, her lover lost and recovered, and she also successfully regained everything that belonged to her and ushered in a new life.
Mothers have no compassion for their own girls.I would not let my daughter to be a concubine. A concubine's life…
This is because they value material things over happiness. How many women ended up in bad marriages because they only saw that the guy had a good job, a nice house and a big car? Nothing has changed since ancient times…🥺😢
As terrible as she is and with all the terrible decisions she’s made in both her life and her daughter’s……
There are quite a few bad parents around in real life, so the drama isn’t making this up. I can confirm from personal experience that the parents who “only want your best” usually make a mess of things. They are unhappy with their life’s, yet try to push their children to make the same mistakes that they made.
i'm kind of confuse on the part of wu lian wife. From what I understood, she is infertile and wu lian tricked…
No, she isn’t infertile. Her mother gave her some special medicine assuming this was the reason for her not getting pregnant, but the best medicine in the world is useless if her husband doesn’t touch her. From what I understood she lost her virginity to her cousin (who apparently works similar schemes as WuLian). Her family then arranged her marriage with WuLian hoping that he wouldn’t realise the truth, but he already knew and therefore never touched her.
This drama.... wow!I can only say that you cannot help but feel angry when you see certain things continue to…
What I find the most unsettling in this drama is the trial by public opinion that seems so omnipresent in Chinese society and that in this age of internet sh*t storm has become even more rampant. One single perceived misstep can cancel an entire career and so many people don’t even seem to be bothered about it! Sadly, even in the supposedly liberal Western countries this cancel culture is now spreading like crazy and ruining lives.
Watching episode 12. They keep adding timelines within the timelines. As soon as one's POV is completed, they…
Isn’t it strange how everyone complains about historical C-dramas being too cliched and predictable and as soon as a drama tries something new, there are complaints about too many timelines and the plot being too difficult to follow 🤣🤣🤣 People, just keep your hands off the FF-button and you will have no problems following the story.
I like some of the callbacks in the drama. Will make the rewatch more interesting. Like callback to the unique…
I like this kind of unusual (for historical C-drama) storytelling. I you take your time to watch attentively, it isn’t confusing at all, but it will be for the people who are too eager using the FF-button 😂
I agree with you 100%...it is a very sensitive issue and it would be very helpful if parents would be open and…
Sadly parents’ intuition is often much worse than that of their children who often instinctively don’t want to shake a certain uncle’s hand and then get scolded for it.
This is a very sensitive topic in this series. My hope for those who are Mothers and daughters they can talk about…
The best way to help women to avoid these problems is to teach young girls some self-respect and that they are worth the same as any man. Once they have understood that women aren’t in this world to be subservient to men they will have the courage to say ‘no’ to things that they don’t want. It is important not to bring up girls with the idea of all men being evil predators because this would make it difficult for them to have a trusting relationship once the meet someone they like.
there was rape involved? pls reply cuz i don't see the tag
It depends on your definition of rape. The was no violent attack on any of the women, but coercion and deceit. In today’s perception this would be considered rape, in a historical context it probably wouldn’t. I guess there’s no tag because none of it happens on-screen…
Vow, the rating for this drama is going the opposite way than all the recent idol-filled dramas. It has now climbed up from 7.7 to 8.0 😃 whereas many of the idol-filled ones start at 8.6 and then tank due to bad scripts and inadequate acting skills.
