But the name is already changed here and it's not good really. Sounds like a anime adaptation.

Yeah.😂 I can't say I'm hooked myself, watched too few to claim that but for sure I enjoy keeping track of them. They addictive like soap operas. Also after yrs of watching Korean Saeguks with the same style and colours, the diversity in costumes, accessories and hairstyles in Xianxias and Wuxias are a feast for my eyes!!

P.S.: They changed the name fast! Good thing I've already seen the new name in comments or I would be quite confused being replied in a drama I don't remember.

No, I missed it. Did they announce the new name there?

I'm not a fan of sliced back hair at all, especially when hair is practically glued to skull, even in western shows. It greatly changes one's appearance and ages them as you said. He looked quite young in Under the Brocade too. They made him too pretty too.

Whose genius idea is this new name? 😆

Everyone are bound to age at one point. 😅
I think MM was shot in 2023 and he does look older there. But Blossoming Love was shot in late '23, early '24 and he's younger looking. Maybe it's makeup. He looks the same in his recent shots too.

Many of Wuxias and Xianxias aren't anything special tbh, mostly a misunderstood lead as the villain and enemies to lovers with a truckload of clichés. Even the plot twists are recycled but the execution can make one a hit and another a failure. Let's hope after 4 yrs this one turns out to be good.

It's alright. Easy to skip through and get the story.

It was shot in 2021.

Yeah, really. I have 4 ungoing dramas here, plus several more outside. 🤦🏻‍♀️

They could've wrapped it quite neatly in S2 already but wasted their time on long boring cases. I enjoyed chatting with you too. (⁠✷⁠‿⁠✷⁠)

Ohhhh. So do we know what he said?

Why had the ex left her?

Teaser is out.

Plot seems quite generic. Like it's been told a hundred times already. Dear Novel readers, is storytelling any good? Like the expansion or plot twists?

Sorry for late reply, I only finished it last week. Quite agree with your opinions, this must be one of the wierdest marriages I've ever seen, worse than an arranged or open one when everyone is doing her/his business independently. As YingZhi said this wasn't a matriage just a cooperation.

And what was that cheating plot? Was it even cheating? She didn't care at the slightest and only said "Alright, I was indifferent to you so that's it. Just be careful and don't get caught!" Then she went on with her work as if nothing has happened at all. So irrelevant!

I think because of her personality she didn't have much faith in a marriage in the first place, so cheating must have been somewhere in her unconscious mind all the time and giving how cynical she is, when she saw ber husband sitting with an older (?) woman, her suspicions rang true. Also she once said QQ not coming to collect her lessens her guilt, maybe his alleged adultry lessens it even more. He doesn't pay much attention to her, he has another woman hence she will be free to pursuit her life and work without feeling guilty about ignoring her marriage and husband emotionally and physically.

Even Hao Lei and Xia Shu pair, which I liked, turned out to be a disappointment. It's astonishing how there are 38 episodes and everything is left with either loose ends or hasty, unsasisfying wrap ups.

It went downhill post Ep. 30 and became a mess. The whole story of Madam Mei set up was throughtly underwhelming both in revelation and the result.

The last brain death case was also just there to deal with their too similar traumas, while they could do something better with the last 2 episodes.

Kiss.kh

Yeah. It's the last scene and epilogue. Fast forwarded several years. Although to be honest he (or his cowardice) kind of got her father killed too, so well... a bit weird.

No. It doesn't happen chronically. She has a child when she's a concubine not the Empress. Unfortunately I've forgotten the details about how Song Nyang and deposed king fall apart the 2nd time (the first time she thinks he's dead and becomes a palace maid). Then she marries Togon and has a child later. It is too long for me to go and check the eps. maybe you can see online recaps to know where to look. The killing is after her coronation, the last episode.

I think initially he went back to Goryo to manage his country and when she crowns as the Empress, Togon becomes delusional about his power and Song Nyang and had kim killed when he came for the coronation.

I think it's exactly because he's got such an amiable and calm face and voice that he can play a certain kind of villains so good p.e. seemingly fatherly masters, evil officers or schemers, etc. Being a villain is the last thing one (in the dramaworld) would think

He's sure prolific, may I ask which one of his dramas have you seen?
