Subtle expressions are so easy to miss especially for me since I have to read subtitles too! I often will watch a scene then replay just to watch faces.
I normally watch on a rather large tv but often have to watch on a tablet or phone. There’s some dramas I won’t watch until I can see everything haha The leads are amazing at giving us so much from just a look.

The era and their respective situations (positions in life) and their ages factor in and the overall theme in both their lives (his authority, her being a woman in that era) is RESTRAINT.
So we only see things in their micro expressions and breathing.

He likes her early but probably never thought she would like him since he was an “old man” and a widower.
And since he is who he is she never thought such a pairing possible so probably stifled those feelings.
That’s why he says forget everything else think of just us, a man and a woman.
Slow burn indeed, they started smoldering in ep1.

Saw comments where those are like hand warmers probably filled with beans or grains. Huggable warmth.

Hmm, I personally don’t agree that a female slapping a male is humiliating.

Loving the intro and outro with traditional instrumental music and ancient style paintings as graphics. Beautifully done like A Splendid Match did. I find myself watching instead of skipping.

Never have I ever imagined giant bean sprouts as weapons! 🤣🤣🤣

But, but I hate him now

So you started it? Great!

I read somewhere that a man slapping a man adds humiliation. So it’s more shocking and embarrassing than a punch and hurts their psyche too.

Gu Alan needs someone who sees her and loves her.
A character I didn’t mind her redemption in the drama.
Really different from the novel,

A much much slower start than Mudan’s story. For me very boring start but finally with the introduction of the ML things are picking up. But the beginning episodes are definitely necessary for the backstory.

Yep!

Genericide!
Usually the first and the biggest to make their name becomes synonymous with the product!
Coke
Bandaid
Kleenex
Etc etc etc!

I’m usually the let me Google that girl haha
And yeah I like spotting bloopers like that

Ughhhhh. That character in the novel was baddddddd.

First time I’ve ever noticed a clothing tag inside the collar area ins historical drama. Ep25 around the 26:16 mark.
At least I think that’s what I saw.

I don’t know what era this drama is set in but when did clothing tags place inside the collar area become a thing?

He is supreme in this! What a versatile actor! I’ve liked him in all previous works but gotta say he slayed this role.

No! Dementia would definitely not be better!
Let’s gaslight grandma until we feel she can handle the truth.

Even if it is Botox there’s possibly a medical reason for it. Migraines.

Great comments!

Brilliantly scripted and executed. ❤️
