i've been silently kinda obsessed with him and his dramas these past few months. currently looking forward to his future works (heavy on the historical/costume dramas)

it's been 10 years, and this is still the only time i've had second male lead syndrome

i remember watching this months ago and realizing i was part of the minority seeing what was happening between xiao yao and cang xuan. and it made such little sense to me considering their entire relationship with each other.

it was more like xiao yao had abandonment issues stemming from cang xuan(and her childhood ordeals, of course), then completely closed out her feelings and chose someone she was certain would stay by her side. with how perceptive xiao yao is, i don't believe she never noticed cang xuan's feelings for her, or she never had feelings for him.

it's been months and i'm still stuck on yaoxuan's characters...

this was my first time catching up with an airing cdrama, and i finally finished the last 5 episodes today. probably some of the best episodes of the drama. the entire show is genuinely entertaining and worth the watch

how is bro everywhere???

all this because i disagreed and still think your statement is a huge joke? 🫤

i just cackled tf out. but ofc, that's your opinion.

yep, a huge joke.

trying to paint off as a bad actor is a joke

lol i can't do this anymore.

saying this as someone who feels like sad endings leave the most impression on me when done well.

i mean, they can watch that, no one's stopping them. i enjoyed parts of that arc and the general idea, but i wouldn't say i enjoyed it in its entirety. not everyone's interested in a side story-like arc that feels like an unjustified excuse for its conclusion.

rating is so low but i actually loved it. just stop watching at ep23 on the 17:00 mark if you want a satisfying watch.

this is probably the longest show i've ever finished(and binged). the visuals of the intro are stunning and the opening theme is a non-skip. would've probably hated the tropes in this show if it was any other drama but they were done well. oh, and i actually liked yingluo with the emperor.

this is exactly how i felt and why i had to drop it by ep13. each time i felt like i was getting closer to fully understanding the subplot, there's a switch to a different one. i didn't feel engaged in the main plot enough to continue.

this is me. debating dropping it right now.

wdym he's 37??? 🤨

yes, but if their stance is not made clear, it's bound to be questioned. that's why i don't think it was a good idea to even include it. it wasn't in the original novel.

yes, but in matters related to sensitive topics like this, it's best to follow through with people who are actually fluent in the language. you can ask several people if you're not completely certain too.
