I love Ryan Ding. He was great in Romance of a Twin Flower and Just an Encore (the latter, he was such a green flag uwu). And I’ve only seen Ding Jia Wen (Cui Bei) in Truth or Dare and his character there is completely different from this one. Cui Bei is so cute 🥰

Same. I’m always used to Miles being in modern dramas so seeing him in an ancient drama is different. I’m simultaneously watching him in this and 19th Floor, and seeing him playing a modern good guy and an ancient bad guy (not sure if he’ll stay good/bad in either drama) is making my head spin lol.

Oh how I wish we had that ending instead!

Okay, after finishing the final 2 episodes at 2:30am, which was approximately 16 hours ago, I have come to terms with the ending. It didn’t make any sense whatsoever, but at least Amai didn’t end up with that loser of an emperor. Seriously, how did he go from a funny, loving, upstanding, albeit dumb marquis, to a cruel, stupid emperor? How could he take the words of his enemy as truth and hurt the person he cared about most? Make it make sense! Even with the 3 year time jump, he still wanted to get back with Mai. Did he forget he has an empress and concubines? Also, in the 3 years, why didn’t crown Prince grow? Kids usually have a growth spurt around that age, but he still looked the same. Meh. Also, why did 2nd ML only get like 5 minutes of screen time at the end? I liked that he proposed twice, and she still said no (I volunteer as tribute to be his wife! lol). Still gutted that Tang died, even Chen Qi. Again, he listened to words of his enemy not even verifying if it was true. As much as he was a jerk, he did care for Mai. Speaking of Mai and the 3 year time jump, did she never think of traveling the world and being on her own during all that time? Why all of a sudden after 3 years did she decide she wanted to be alone? Really makes no sense, unless they make a part 2, with new writers hopefully. But most dramas rarely have a second season, so I guess I will be content with this ending. I don’t normally do reviews but I might for this one, in case anyone goes into this thinking it will be great, but might end up disappointed like a lot of us in the comments.

it’s 2:30 am and I just finished this dumpster fire of a drama. Ugh, I want to write and vent but I need to be up for work in 3 hours. Let me know whoever reads this if you liked or hated the last 2 episodes. I can’t even put into words how I feel right now 🫠

It’s called The Spirealm and according to comments on the page, it’s on bilibili.tv or telegram. I haven’t started it yet but people say it’s good.

Just started this yesterday but I only downloaded until episode 3. Now I’m on a cliffhanger on what’s gonna happen to Chun Yu. Guess I have to wait until I get home to continue watching this. So far so good. It’s like a mix between Supernatural and Squid Game.

I can’t wait to watch this. I downloaded the first 2 episodes so I can watch it on my lunch break lol.

just 2 more episodes and we can start on something new to wash away this mess of a show lol. At least White Cat Legend is finally out. I hope it’s good 👍🏽

lol I haven’t heard anything about a scandal, but the only reason I can see why his screen time went down is because of scheduling conflicts with another drama but I could be wrong

I loved him in The Long Ballad. I wonder if the writers or studio put his name in the main credits to lure people in to watching this, only for us to realize he’s hardly even in here to begin with 🫠

First of all, how dare they kill off Marshal Tang??!! And that stupid emperor is still alive and Chen Xi? Freck this shouldn’t be called Fighting for Love, but Fighting for Power or Revenge instead. At this point so late in the series, I give up any and all hope for a romantic storyline. Just kill everyone off already. I don’t know how they’re going to salvage this drama in just 90 minutes.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer? What if they’re one in the same? I swear I don’t know who’s good, who’s bad, or where the plot is going anymore. Minister Lin spent all this time and effort to get rid of the emperor, only for it to go down without a fight. What a joke. At least his own kids finally woke up and realized how evil their father is. With only 2 episodes left, I hope they wrap this up cleanly. My thoughts on the previews in spoiler comments below.

I would even settle for her being with Chen Xi at this point. There has to be more to their relationship especially with that stupid minister putting thoughts in his head when he was younger. You can tell he still cares about her. if she doesn’t end up with CYQ, I want her and CQ to team up and take down the evil people in the palace

must have glossed over it because they’re the most annoying people in the drama right now, including Minister Lin

don’t forget his teachers in the beginning who protected him and raised him

The beginning is great and even funny. The later episodes are a little messy but because there’s only a couple episodes left, I’m going to soldier on. If I listened to every negative comment, I’d never watch anything. And even when dramas get high ratings, I sometimes end up hating it and wonder why they got high ratings in the first place. Everyone is different so hopefully the negative doesn’t cancel out the positive.

Must have missed it lol thanks.

Finally finished this. Started great but it went kind of downhill when they got to college. The second couple breaking up and making up were so annoying that I took off half a point just for them alone. They were so toxic it was crazy how and why they would want to be together. Bonus points for the under the radar BL couple 🥰

The only good thing about the last 2 episodes was Mai staring down the empress like a bad boss. The thing that irks me though is if ML loves Mai so much and he’s never in the same room with the empress for more than a couple scenes, how did she get pregnant? Did I miss something? Was it when they were drinking and maybe she did something to him? Why didn’t emperor call BS when the physician said she’s pregnant. Ugh I’m hoping for a miracle to happen because I would hate to drop this so close to the end of the series.
