Kinara

No I think they meant the painter. He was too boring and go with the flow kind of guy. His way trying to get her to like him was to deal with her mom. I actually did not think much of him. He was too good to be true

She does fix him in a certain sense just like she fixes the lighter with a lot of care

Absolutely they are similar in many ways especially when thinking about doing things the right way and standing up for what is right

I actually loved her character - she was so strong, persistent and goal oriented. A go getter in many ways

Yeah - I would say she likes to maintain the peace . She resolves conflict well. Yep a complete diplomat but still stands up for what is right. Agree - should not have used the term people pleaser- because she does exactly what she wants to do as well

The FL in general is a people pleaser and a very political person - the polar opposite of him. But she is also a very loyal and trustworthy person and a good friend - you see that not just with LX but also with her other friends

Agree, every single time you watch it - you gain something more and you see pieces you missed. I also noticed that your view of the happening becomes clearer abs clearer

Yes

Lighter an princess

Yes he considered Gao his trusted friend and confidant and he stabbed him in the back and for what? - that was the tragedy

Count me into that list

That emperor is a piece of work- what an AH- you wonder why the ML was so loyal to him. And to top it he is a physical and emotional abuser

Lol agreed

Great analysis. As I have said before - Li Xun is too principled and gentle to be labeled toxic . He had his head in the right place. And yes only a few people understood and stood by him completely

👍

Will surely check it out!!

Yes it was her strength and perseverance that drew him to her. And she truly supported him till the end. Well written. This kind of relationship is rare

Well said. The definitions of toxic here is overblown. When it is not a toxic romance. The drama is really for a mature audience who understand the nuances of a strong relationship and that it is not always going to be sweet. It’s bittersweet and more about how much good and how much bad there is. It is always the balance because we are always talking about two people very different coming together. It’s all about striking the balance. This was a very realistic portrayal of a relationship.

I never said that’s what made me love L&P- I would rate L&P much higher still. But legally romance was good in its own right

Yeah I did not love that FL either. The ML was good as he usually is
