Good Grief

I’ve caught up to the latest episodes 21-22 but no romances so far but I enjoyed it. Give it a try & see if you like it.

today’s epsiodes were truly good and the previews for tomorrow screams more angst and drama. Loving this drama. I can’t wait to see Li Zhen turn the ties and Luo Wen/ Qi Qian pay back the Tian family 1000 ways of blood feud.

If you're ok to watch no romance as of now you can really give a try. I really like it ...... The concept is different and ink making is something very new to c drama for me

Really good in my opinion

When was that said? I wonder if it was a typo or mistranslation?

I don't think she is because the tian family never mentioned anything about her. Her surname is tian but that doesn't mean she's from he same family as them

Park Eun Bin is so pretty😍😍

well said. I think people who come here are looking for revenge plot, romance etc. Yang Zi chooses perfection scripts nothing baseless just to say she has a hit. She goes for in deep depth dramas. That have viewers in awe, excited and so much more. I hope people can come here not putting too much state into what they precieve the heir to be and actually get to know what the heir is truly. in a essence a family business of traditional ink making in China. And a young woman from that same dynasty and legacy branching out to reclaim what was once stolen, taken and lost.

I disagree. You can’t say that the 8th branch did not suffer and you also can’t say that her dad was responsible for that whole disaster. Both those statements are wrong . Honestly that Li family just saw them suffer and they also kept taking advantage of her when needed. It is not necessary to put up with so much crap for some ridiculous family rules , respect and name .they are coming to her only because they are failing. What kind of familial bond is that ? Hero? My foot

I think this show was pretty straight with what type of show it is from the beginning, starting with the title. the FL is suppose to bring back the lost glory of the Li Family ink. This is not the type of show, where the FL is starting her new brand, but one that after some struggle and family drama she inherits the family's business. This is first and foremost a family drama, a business family drama.

As you saw, the ink business (is not like the flowers business) it is a complex process, no less than three family-branches are making particular and very necessary contributions to the end product. Li Zhen, no matter how talented and determined she is, cannot make this alone, aka the best in ink the dynasty. You need a lot of resources and work force. I think this show it trying to keep it as real as possible, in was not so easy in the ancient times to start a new brand, especially as a female. As was stated, 'Li Ink' is a century old brand, that was developed by several generations of inkmakers.

Yes, LZ’s father died of tuberculosis. The physician who visited him said he should have been treated earlier.

captivated by the little things.

ep 20

those ink stains on LZ's thumbs... did everything for me.

Love the segment of mum and fl from the rain to the mountains🥰

Am enjoying the slow journey... now to medicinal ink... matchmaker herb 🌿 🥰 FL name the new medicinal ink as Fu Jin Ink - commemorate love of FL parents 💝

I love the way this drama has matured conversations and dive in through the realistic portrayal of life in a competitive setting. The fear of losing power and inheritance, to the point 4th aunt could avenge on FL n family forever. And for ex bf, the fear of losing status and face value, could make him and family sell off their sister's life and happiness, or trample on FL. Indeed resentment, self pity, envy could destroy.
