this is such a character growth for WS. Old him would’ve lashed out or yelled…New him was more disappointed I think. And he’a allowed to be upset & be in his feels. Everything happened so fast that he didn’t get a chance to process his feelings of hurt…so I’m not upset with his actions/response. I agree with you- they’ll work it out!

She was a little kid who threw two stones on the ground and the grandpa took it as a sign from heaven not to help…it’s just a random observation most likely insignificant !

I was wondering about that too! I’m rewatching the show again via Viki (bigger screen than my phone) & remembered that FL was the one who did the divination that prevented the Qiaos from helping the Weis that caused the deaths. The divination tool was shown again later so I wonder if he’ll find out about it? And that would cause a rift between them?? I don’t know…just speculating here.

In my opinion, the 8.9 is well deserved. So far it leans towards Blossom (my fav c-drama from 2024) rather than the Glory.

Haven’t finished yet but read the ending. I don’t really mind if it’s a SE or HE (OE are considered SE to me) as long as it makes sense to the story. I am disappointed but that doesn’t take away from it being a great show. Loved everything about it except (🐈‍⬛❄️🐇💔😭).

If u rewatch it that scene, you’ll see that she didn’t want to go with him but when she was saying no she saw the change in his expression from 😀to 👿 so she knew she was in trouble. she said she’ll get her coat and left a clue behind for XuanYe. She was trying to find a way to escape him…so I think she did the best she could under those circumstances tbh

I’m enjoying this very much. Good storyline & love the pace too! I really like the development of their relationship- I’m not a fan of love at first sight so this is def my type of romance. I’m already bracing myself for Iqiyi’s one ep per day nonsense when it gets closer to last episodes. 😭

Actress acting? I’m on episode 5 and so far I think she’s doing fine. She’s not annoying or acting silly. Some folks just want to hate I guess.

I’m only on episode 8 and so far there hasn’t been anything really happening between them.

I think she’s a strong FL - smart, resilient, and pragmatic. So far I’m enjoying the show because it is a fluffy show but not a dumb show. It’s like when we take a shot of tequila but need a chaser. This is the chaser- it is a good palate cleanser. Then we go back to the tequila (revenge & place intrigue).

I think if at episode 20 you’re not feeling it, it is safe to say you might not enjoy the rest of the series because it pretty much remained the same story beats & plot. I enjoyed the series very much from beginning to end but I’ve read multiple reviews where people who didn’t enjoy it mentioned that the latter part of the show bored them.

Tbh- This is a such a chaotic show & the plot is all over the place but it is entertaining. If you don’t take it too seriously you’ll have fun time. The romance isn’t really romancing (for me) but it’s not a romantic series - more like bromance cuz I’m really enjoying the interactions between ML & his co-horts in the guardian & astronomy!

Gotcha! We Def have different opinions on chemistry :) I agree on some on ur list & some I disagree with 👍🏽

Many parts of the drama stands out for a lot of people which is why it’s getting heat index 30,000, trending on X & Tik Tok (in the west), 8.9 ratings in MDL & Viki & Iqiyi. Media is subjective & if by now (ep 26) you still don’t understand the hype, then maybe this show was just not for you. And that’s fine. Calling it overrated is your opinion & us giving the show 8.9 is our opinion. So after almost 1000 comments on this page your question seems to be more rhetorical tbh.

I’m curious to know which show you think has leads with burning hot chemistry if DZ & SM is only slight warmth?? Cuz they’ve been sizzling hot for me since episode 1!

Good point. Remember when they were on the boat? She said that married couples do not show affection only lovers so I think her idea of a married life must be skewed from her previous life

During that time, stepmom’s father was demoted & she was selling food at a food stall. DZ’s father was studying for an exam in the same area as the stepmom so FL’s mom asked her to help her take care of the dad

“Very weird and it’s even worse than western feminism, at least in the west our FL wants to marry and have children and be happy with freedom of choice in marriage and life in our dramas but in Chinese dramas their FL don’t want to marry they just want to own a business and travel around the world shocking”

I don’t understand why you’re having issues with women wanting the freedom to choose her own life? Being married isn’t the only path to one’s happiness. Besides, in this drama, DZ isnt’t against being married. She is just worried about marrying the wrong persons and living a miserable life. She witnesses it with her grandma & her own mother. She also mentioned to the grand princess during the contest that serving tea, cooking, arranging flowers, and other feminine etiquette are important too but shouldn’t be the only criteria to judge a woman’s worth.

It’s neither underrated nor overrated- it’s rated exactly where it should be by those who rate it :) Everything is subjective. It might not be your cup of tea! I usually give dramas about 3-4 episodes before I drop it, no matter how much hype it’s getting. Which means that I’ve dropped some of the more popular ones at times. But then there are some dramas that I’m screaming at the top of my lungs about how it good it is but no one else seems to care about it lol.
