From the synopsis, it seems the main female lead already has a childhood lover but their relationship is opposed by her father and she forced to marry another man.
Later, she seem to be attracted with her future husband, Li Yuan Xiao. "A sudden marriage arrangement was bestowed upon Mu Rong Yan and Li Yuan Xiao, causing the trio's lives to become entangled with one another. The stubborn and witty Mu Rong Yan and the persistent Li Yuan Xiao begin a game of cat-and-mouse".
And because of her father, her childhood lover will kinda become evil and schemes against the family of her future husband.
I have a fascination with plot about despite the main character already love someone since childhood or has a strong crush/unrequited love with someone, the main character will slowly fall in love with other people that love him/her especially when that "other people" was dislike by the main character at first and they are forced to be together in arranged/forced marriage. The character struggle and conflict is delicious to me LOL
This is the same director of the tragic drama, Goodbye My Princess. But I think the main female lead won't kill herself this time since neither of her childhood lover nor her future husband kill her family member;-)
Just finished watching this drama and I really enjoyed it! The storyline was just okay, predictable, but the chemistry…
In my opinion, chemistry of the main leads in dramas is in the eyes of the beholder. Some people might feel their chemistry in those dramas but some other people might not. So it quite hard to recommend dramas based on the chemistry because it is subjective.
But I can recommend other Chinese historical dramas that I enjoyed that revolved around the theme of married couples that got married because of arranged/forced marriage just like "The Sleepless Princess".
When watching Chinese dramas on Youtube, I use VPN because usually the videos will not available in my country. If I can't find it on Youtube, I will watch on the popular asian dramas website like Dramacool but I'm not sure if Dramacool is available in your country. You might need to watch on website that available on your country if the videos on Youtube links are not available in your country and you don't want to use VPN. Happy watching!
That sad ending is the ending written by the screenwriter but actually not the ending produced by the filming…
You're welcome!
As one of the Zheng Ye Cheng's fan I'm happy that he get more recognition now after The Sleepless Princess. He is a talented and hardworking actor so I hope he will has the chance to shine more in a drama with a good script. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-YzmUINbOA
Hopefully, they can reunite again in another drama like my another favorite pairing Zhang Ze Han and Ju Jing Yi in drama "Legend Of Yun Xi" reunited in the upcoming drama "The Blooms At The Ruyi Pavilion".
I kinda feel sad about the ending, yet I think it is the most appropriate ending to the story. I really enjoyed…
That sad ending is the ending written by the screenwriter but actually not the ending produced by the filming crew. When they filming this drama, they change it to the happy ending.
But when this drama become unexpectedly popular among the viewers while airing, MangoTV decided to cut the happy ending and make it as the epilogue on their apps to earn more money. Before this, to watch the happy ending, you need to pay and become a VIP member on MangoTV apps. But thankfully, there are kind hearted peoples who willing shared the happy ending with broke people like me on the Duboku, Instagram and Dailymotion :-D
The director commented on his social media before that he himself prefer the sad ending that aired on episode 35 because to him it is realistic but I don't think so. I don't mind if a drama has a sad ending like drama Goodbye My Princess but to me the ending as shown in episode 35 is not a sad ending, but an annoying open ending =_=
I will be forever grateful that the filming crew change it to the happy ending and I hope Zheng Ye Cheng and Hu Yi Xuan will act together again in another drama with a good script because they are so cute together and their chemistry is off the roof!
But if you can understand Filipino/ German/ Italian/ Japanese/ Malay/ Nepali/ Thai/ Turkish/ Vietnamese, you can open the subtitle since there are subtitles with those languages in the videos.
Lovely Kim So Hyun as a princess again XD The plot is so interesting since it is rare for a royal princess to become main female character in Korean historical drama. Not to mention this drama period is not the usual Joseon period. But I'm really wary with the screenwriter ughhh hope he will not waste the interesting plot and Kim So Hyun acting skill.
I'm so sad KHN turned down this role. I LOVED him in Scarlet Heart and I was hoping we'd see him as a main lead…
If I'm not mistaken, the role of the main female lead was offered to Son Ye Jin before this but she rejected.
Since now Kim So Hyun is confirmed as the main female lead, maybe Kang Ha Neul feels that it is not suitable for him to pair with Kim So Hyun as her main male lead. But he will appears here as On Dal's father although it may only in the On Dal's childhood memories.
To my understanding the two dramas are not related. Loving Never Forgetting was a melodrama adapted from novel…
@sharreb Thank you for the clarification.
Do you know what is the child's role that been carried by the main male lead in the photo? The main leads child or one of main male lead/female lead family's member?
Looks like they started filming this drama already. Excited to see it in the upcoming year, hopefully. Since there’s…
Oh, I remember watching that drama long time ago!
You might be right since the main couple here was holding a child in the filming ceremony picture. But, as far as I remember the main couple in Loving, Never Forgetting don't have contract marriage because the main male lead proposed to the main female lead after he fall in love with her and they slept together again. Maybe they will change it a bit with putting the contract marriage plot here.
Does Cheng Yi will playing here as a character that get tortured again? O_o I'm already watching him suffered in both the "Love And Redemption" and "The Promise In Chang'an" continuously LOOOL=_= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE2b-k9uEHk
Yay, Ding Yu Xi will finally acts in a new drama! Esther Yu is a cute actress, I believe they will make a cute couple if they get to act together in drama.
I hope this pairing will be confirmed soon and this drama will has a good script!
They killed us already this month with Sleepless Princess, hopefully quota for this year is over. Can't trust…
I can only watch The Sleepless Princess with the English subtitles on the MangoTV YouTube channel and search for the epilogue on the other website and Instagram since I'm broke LOL
The English subtitles on the YouTube channel are slow and there are some episodes that without subtitle at all. I can accept it because I don't pay any money but the I read the MangoTV apps VIP members also complaining about their services on the apps. Feel bad for them:-(
But one thing that I'm really grateful for was that Zheng Ye Cheng and Hu Yi Xuan got paired together in The Sleepless Princess and they gained more fans because of their acting and chemistry there.
I'm already a Zheng Ye Cheng's fan and had watch all his dramas that I can find whether their were having subtitles or not because of his great acting skill XD I started to know Hu Yi Xuan in the drama "I'm A Pet At Dali Temple". She's so adorable there too but from all of her dramas that I had watch so far, I feel that she has the best chemistry with Zheng Ye Cheng in The Sleepless Princess.
After this, I want watch all Hu Yi Xuan other dramas and when I know she will acts in another romance drama involving contract marriage I'm so excited! So for her sake, I hope this drama will turn out to be good and MangoTV won't pull the same stunt again this time=_=
This drama make me become one of Cheng Yi's fan because of his good acting. I can feel his pain and sadness.
I'm watching The Promise of Chang'an which currently airing because of him. In there his character is also kind of tortured since main female lead become his sister-in-law.
Later, she seem to be attracted with her future husband, Li Yuan Xiao.

Some costumes in Korea historical periods including Joseon:

So I hope Kim So Hyun will wear beautiful costumes for this drama*_*

But he will acts in this drama as the OnHyeob, main male lead's father.
https://www.dramabeans.com/2020/10/kang-haneul-and-kim-so-hyun-confirmed-for-new-jtbc-drama/
The one that rejected it because feels the role is unsuitable with her age is Son Ye Jin.

The main couple part with the child is so cute! UwU
Do you know what is the child's role that been carried by the main male lead in the photo?
The main leads child or one of main male lead/female lead family's member?
Thank you.
