Kinara

Like I have said before- this drama is not about love or romance. It is more about her accepting the traumatic past, healing and letting go so she can live a normal life . It was the same for the ML too. They were both wronged and pretty much went through hell. To me this was the most realistic portrayal of something like this. In other dramas they just skim through this stuff trivialize it. I am glad that they did not here. And I think their relationship was on point given everything they went through. So no I don’t think like you and don’t find this drama funny or lacking

Well I enjoyed the drama for what it was. It was unique and it was good. Much better than another run of the mill story and romance .

No one is apologizing for the scriptwriters . And you don’t have to defend other viewers. I am just stating my opinion here and I have the right to do so. Why would you be upset about it? This obsession with hot kisses and baths etc -as so called love- has gotten out of hand. I did not realize that people are so starved they have to get it like this. This is really not their cup of tea. Why watch it and complain. Drop it and move on

Very unique and interesting . It is definitely not for everyone

Yes she was wonderful in that role

When trauma consumes you it is very hard to engage in other things such as feelings. She was sick - we are not talking about a normal person .

I disagree that the last episodes were draggy. They really tied up the story well

Yep that is the problem 😂😂😂. You nailed it. I didn’t like those dramas either. Dropped them

For everyone pining for ‘romance ‘ in this drama- this is not a romance drama. It is about two individuals who had extremely traumatic pasts- they come together and heal. And there is politics and revenge entwined in it. It was a beautiful drama that had a deep story and had brilliant performances from the leads . This drama needs to be appreciated for its impeccable story telling and powerful performances. Not for paltry romance.

Yes Ye Li’s conversation with the empress is very important to understand the context

Thank you! Yes it is!

This was ok I guess. The adult arc was a bit of a let down . They wasted too much time on the teen years. And the reunion part was a little weird . It was not done very well. 7.5 for me

I had put this on hold. And finishing now. On episode 20- does nobody know to call the police on the guy who is messing with them?

Seriously you guys are writing him off because he is staying silent for some time? A lot of actors do that . They are secretive too. 😂😂

lol you guys need to be patient. He had 3 dramas in a span of a year.

Yes exactly

Yep I guess she will always have those phases. But unlike before she could atleast go to him

You mean. 8.5? Agreed. But this seems to be the trend now . For some reason really good dramas tend to be downrated on MDL .

This is a 10/10 for me! The storytelling was just fantastic. Another masterpiece! It was a pretty emotional journey. I believe this is Bai Lu’s best work yet. The nuanced emotions she brought out here was just outstanding. Cheng Lei was also fantastic in his portrayal of MXY. Both leads were fantastic. And again the entire supporting cast was very good. This drama kept us invested till the end. And what really stood out for me was the fact that they showed mental illness and its challenges for what it was. The last episode especially when they reinstated LiShan academy in the end was very emotional and justice was served. The final episodes were very well done and they gave a beautiful closure to the story. The song by Zhou Shen is really beautiful.
I will definitely rewatch this one (and soon) . A drama I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend!

Ep 38: still can’t stand the empress dowager. She is walking around as though she did nothing wrong. Wow ! Is she really holding Ye Li hostage till Mo Xouyao returns?
