Just finished episode 14. So far so funny. This short format works for the manhua adaptation unlike the usual where they try to stretch it to a full length 60 episode melodrama. This makes the funny parts funny & light-hearted instead of making it stupid & annoying.
I am so happy to hear you saw it that way. Too many complained LR was still fighting to get to SRQ when I saw…
Right? Just because she didn't toss him away doesn't mean she's not over him. She has some lingering affection which I think most people do when they think of their first love but she's found her true love and it isn't Su Rongqing.
yes the ML is a simp but there was no cuckolding, FL had already separated (but not divorced) ML when she was with the 2nd ML in their previous life. They both agreed to the separation - she proposed it and he accepted it instead of clarifying the misunderstanding that led to the separation
Romance buildup is not convincing. ML spent 20 years stubbornly refusing to admit his feelings in his past life,…
Did you only watch the first episode because I thought the same until episode 2 or 3. he was in love with her the whole time and she even knew about it but she didn't trust in his love and pushed him away so he just buried his feelings and let her be happy with another man. Also he didn't witness her death, she's been ill for years and she finally succumb after he finished his visit and he was murder while leaving her mansion
Just finished it and i love the FL's character growth. Last couple of episodes were a little annoying with the villain trying to justify himself but glad to see FL tell him straight that she wasn't falling for it and it's all his selfishness.
I have several questions though:1. How did LZS go from beggar to criminal mastermind?2.How did he come to mistake…
I agree with points 1, 2, 5. Point 3 - I didn't notice Gu Langhua recognized Luo Zishang but it was weird how the dad was sensitive about their daughter in law visiting her hometown. Point 7 - they were playing politics, it's all ambiguous but Luo Zishang did mentioned how Jiang He seemed to be helping him but nothing worked out in the end
I respect everyone's opinion. But I got bored after ep 20, trying to skip forward and complete 40 episodes. But…
the latter half of the drama deals with politics so is therefore more "draggy" but i thought it was actually pretty fast paced with how all the events happened and things were wrapped up. They could have made it another 5 episodes longer and then it would have been truly a drag.
to be fair..i prefer how they handled the whole restaurant/teahouse running thing here WAY better over "new life…
thanks for saving me from watching "new life begins". Agree wholeheartedly with your review of "a dream of splendor". I had a bad feeling from ep one but wanted to give it a fair shake. Just finished ep 6 and I could tell it was heading further downhill. Went on here to see if it improves but apparently not.
to those who have read the novel, is it ok to watch this drama WITHOUT watching LBFAD?
both novels share minor appearances from a couple of gods but I noticed in LBFAD they changed the gods so you wouldn't recognize them anyway unless the director makes the same changes in this one
I had to brace my heart to watch the tower scene so I saved up the episodes. Now that I'm catching up on ep 36 I had a bad premonition and the comments confirmed it. Going to have to wait for these special episodes to air before I can continue.
I have a question that was never answer by the end of the drama.
Who ordered the wrathful sword deity to assassinate xiao se? he denied it was xiao chong and it doesn't seem likely to be the emperor because he apparently had him leave the capitol for his own protection.
just finished the series on netflix but it sucks that the songs are not translated. I feel like i'm really missing out a lot and my enjoyment of the show could have easily been 10% more. I just went and found translations and it would have been sooooo helpful if they were there while i was watching the show
I just found out and this is so sad. I was watching a new drama and the young actor reminded me so much of him I wanted to see what he has been up to =[
I read the novel first and follow along as it was slowly translated. it was good enough that I stuck with it.…
the translator has a password on the special chapters and gives hints on what the password is based off the story. I was able to successfully guess the passwords to the first two chapters and got stuck on the 3rd special because it's been so long since i read the novel I couldn't remember all the details.

ops forgot to mention that the novel translation is completed although there are some specials at the end that the translator locked behind a password. You don't need to read the specials since it doesn't directly impact the story
