Everything outside of the ML’s story is quite makjang. Especially the father and his whole plot line.

The only thing saving this for me is Song Weilongs absolutely breathtaking performance. He’s just phenomenal in this role and plays every single breath and note with his whole being and aura. I find the plot itself very underwhelming and boring but his performance really does save the show. The person that said that the drama is giving makjang vibes is actually pretty accurate IMO.

they are so completely different and HMH character is completely different it’s hard to compare. it really comes down to genre and which genre you prefer. In my case I love both.

“The cunning schemer got outschemed by his own heart! He's been laid low by love and fell for his mark. his Machiavellian plot getting plot-twisted and thwarted by a rock, a glitch in the plan, which deleted the plot from his mind and served him on a silver platter right under the wheels of Shanbao's carriage. “

it’s basically a myth that one person each generation inherits a special ability.

I also think Ding Yuxi is gorgeous but I’ve never made to the end of a single one of his dramas. I always end up dropping. It’s funny how we all experience these actors differently!

he GORGEOUS in Arsenal Military Academy and he also absolutely kills that role. I didn’t love the drama but it’s one of his top 3 performances.

it’s really the ears. Both Gulzener and Meng Ziyi have delicate faces with large ears that protrude noticibly. They are both beautiful but it’s a shared trait that makes them look very alike.

I agree.

Zhuang Xu’s little brother looks practically identical to Mingyu from Seventeeen. Them not being related is actually insane.

I just vehemently disagree. And yes I’m talking about aesthetics. the only time I didn’t like his wig is in the first and third chapters of Ancient Love Poetry when he is Bai Ju. But as Qing Mu in the middle chapter he was 10/10. And it wasn’t the makeup it was simply the wig. In the legends his hair and makeup were gorgeous. In WOL same. In Moonlight Reunion he was beautiful. If you’re not his fan that’s fine. different tastes for everyone. But Xu Kai aesthetics for me rival HMH and I’m a fan both both equally for their beauty.

Oh I can’t wait! and I figured he was descended from nobility, the ML is never let a simple average commoner 😭

thanks!

oh I so disagree. Xu Kai is amazing in Costime dramas while his modern dramas never appeal to me. His Republican drama with Bai Lu is an exception. but Xu Kai in costume dramas is never a fail.

he did not operate. he simply observed as backup to consult if something went wrong. he didn’t actually perform any surgery.

just spoil and mark it as spoiler.

it’s available on the U.S./UK IQIYI I believe but not other markets.

1. HMH has done plenty of modern/period non-costume drama’s. As well as different genres like I am Nobody.

2. you left Xu Kai off your list!

What a cliffhanger ep 14!!!! How mean to make us wait another day!

Yes I said this earlier as well.
