Am I misunderstanding? During the last scene at Lishan mountain, Helai Master said something about Aconite... isn't it a hint that Yeli caused the Dowager Empress's sickness?
I love this drama. Very good writing and acting. I want to wait a few days to watch Ye Li's return to Lishan and MXY going after her. Express would be Wednesday or Thursday I think. Hopefully!
I had a hard time with the flow of the drama. The relationship did not flow for me. In parts, it was slow and in other parts too quick. Instead of the filler episodes, I would have loved a more fleshed out development of their feelings for each other's as adults with their real personalities. I also had a hard time with FL emotional acting (I think bubbly characters suit her more. The emotions of someone stalked and insulted online, whose father was taken hostage were not well shown in her acting). Miles Wei did better in the few moments where he had to show emotions especially during his scenes with the younger actress playing his baby sister when their family was insulted and shunned because his father was a defence lawyer. He is the more experienced actor but I really hope that he branches out of these roles and takes on more fleshed out characters. Overall an ok drama for me. Could have been better. 7/10.
I had a hard time watching one episode πͺ. Disappointed in the acting and production. But I will give the story a chance. I loved the first season. Zhao Liying left big shoes to fill.
I just re-read the novel. It was so good. The drama is just using the names at this point. The story is really not there. The thing is all these changes were unnecessary π, the novel has a good story where the rebirth part can be totally ignored. Yi Tianyu was also so twisted when in the novel he is their son's godfather. The story was very sweet and inspiring. The drama..... π’π₯
Yeah, It is almost a completely different story than the novel!
I lost interest in the story unfortunately. I will speed through the episodes once they are completed but I don't expect to enjoy the story. I will watch it for the leads. What is this tendency to produce dramas based on novels and completely butchering them? π₯²
Does Xiao Jue know that HY is the blind girl that he saved in ep 1? I am a bit confused by what he said in ep 29 about her being the first girl that he gave candy to. Did I miss something? π π
