ugghh.. i'm really waiting for this drama. And i've read the book a few times. It was just so good for me. And the drama cast seemed perfect also. Wanda is so pretty. The description of the FL in the novel fits her facial features. The prominent nose, cat-like teeth, and that foxy smile, she really embodied Guan Feng Yue/Qing Yue.
I also liked it. It was just right that they show his part of where he came from. Despite everything that happened…
yes. I admit it was a bold move but a little awkward. She really aced up her female boss persona in the last arc. That jade seal is their family's ultimate hidden card, and she used it against the duke family not just to prevent the Rong clan from being controlled but, of course, for her LJL that was suffering for them. It was like hitting two birds with one stone.
And in this arc, we also see how RSB got herself involved with LJL after most of the Rong clan's dilemma had calmed down. She was now more focused with him. Though she could have been more open and all but of course, she's Rong Shan Bao. A Rong woman was never the typical one. That was just who she is, who they are. We can't fully relate to them for they were not a typical family from the very start.
In my opinion, most of the character's emotions and actions were more realistic than other dramas. The FL felt endless pressure that made her cold personality bloom throughout the show, and of course, that won't easily change just because of a man. Even if it's for LJL. And the ML had issues, despite being strong in the first half. In the second, him being toned down wasn't really a toned-down. For me, it was just a test of his character because he grew up lonely and deprived of familial love mostly. And he saw that in the Rong clan despite them competing for the leadership. The sisters still have that familial bond if they put everything aside.
Having his down moments felt realistic. He had been strong throughout his adulthood. He didn't let himself feel weak much back then. So it was all pent-up now that he almost lost it in the last arc. For the FL she had lived normally enough before her mother died and after that, she just came out strong.
lol am i the only one who liked the last 6 episodes? yeah there was a bit of "look at how the other side lives"…
I also liked it. It was just right that they show his part of where he came from. Despite everything that happened between them, she was always there with him. Though her presence wasn't that loud for him, she may not respond to him like most women would normally, but when he needed her the most, she was there. Especially in the last six episodes, she proved herself openly and even used the leverage of the Rong clan to go against the duke family, just not to hurt him physically and psychologically. It was also like, 'No one's allowed to hurt/contain him except me.' hehe... She showed how strong she was for the Rong clan but even stronger for the ML.
