People complain of the hair turning grey trope, but I as a redhead with hair down to my hips, returned home from the hospital after having my second child with COMPLETELY white hair (root to end) on my temples. In 4 days this happened… the reason was that my roommate (another mother) was incessantly on her phone and I didn’t sleep at all for 96 hours straight. So although it’s dramatized, it really can happen. My hair went back to normal only after my next pregnancy.
Ep36 preview. What is the sister in law upto again??? Why can't she sit still and do nothing? First she ignored…
I think she’s worried if something happens to Yao in battle, Ye Li will lose all of her sanity. So she thinks if they have a child, Ye Li would still have someone to care for.
This cdrama plot is completely new to me. And it got me hooked. Story wise, it is not complex, nor has it the…
You might like the novel Deng Hua Xiao by Qian Shan Cha Ke. The FL has a similar aspect of revenge and the ML moving from suspicion to love. Also although not as mentally ill as Ye Li, she has a similar tragic past that the ML finally discovered and understands her. It’s fully translated ☺️
So the Marquis' son is trying to protect his half brother, that's why he had him removed from the dangerous position…
Yes I think he’s playing the hedonist role because he sees through his father. Qin is attention starved and supports his father it seems almost blindly, but the legitimate son knows his father’s true character…
Also I just want to say, when has it ever been a rule the ml and fl must fall in love at the same time/have the…
Yes and sometimes the longer you spend time with someone, the more you fear their disappointment. She does love him, but she’s afraid. The conversation about the bird shows her mentality I feel.
As someone who is absolutely terrified of monkeys, I feel this drama resonates deeply haha.
But speaking seriously, I appreciate the multifaceted approach the drama takes towards mental health. Ye Li can help her SIL face her demons, but can’t see her own. Brings to mind the phrase “physician, heal thyself.”
I can’t even imagine the horror she faced on the mountain, especially at such a young age. Children have the ability to fragment their personality in order to cope with trauma and I feel like this is a representation of this. Qingshuang was a real person, but also is herself as a child. She gives her the care she craved I feel.
Half sister has negative brain cells but at least is comic relief.
If you want Word of Honor meets Mysteries Lotus Casebook, then this is the perfect short drama! Well done and very beautiful. I love everything YZX acts in and this is one of his best shorts I feel.
those who already rated it are probably haters or people who dropped the show halfway through
Most Douban ratings are from the first 6 episodes/ on the first day of airing. It’s a pattern I noticed on almost all dramas. If something doesn’t have a ‘perfect’ start, the ratings are always cooked.
wdym they got him in this kind of drama???? The drama is good and is well loved. He loves the drama too. Why do…
It’s very enjoyable! I like that he’s choosing more unique scripts, this screenwriter is solid and the director is impressive too. I really like that at the core of the drama is the question, do we love for who people really are or for who we think they are.
Here it’s me posting about Xingjia again, but he’s such comic relief haha “don’t spoil Master Zhou’s beautiful face!” Then smashes him with a basin lol. Also Guanyue playing fortune teller was so funny. Guess my favorites are Uncle Lei, Guanyue, and Xingjia now.
This is a silly take. And clearly misunderstands the show. She clearly likes him. He knows that. But she doesn't…
I see your point, I thought he was supposed to be a bit crazy as he had such a traumatic upbringing ( I never read the novel so have no clue how his character was there) and as such I found him really interesting. I see the point you’re making, I just thought it was the intention of the screenwriter to make the character more conflicted.
This is a silly take. And clearly misunderstands the show. She clearly likes him. He knows that. But she doesn't…
Everyone has a right to dislike a character etc., obviously, but I think it’s a bit too much to insult the writer. Multifaceted and even hypocritical characters are appealing to some people as they like to project or escape from reality. I really hope nobody thinks fictional characters are supposed to be written for people to imitate…I can only understand your argument against the writer if you think that way, but that seems a bit obtuse.
Side note but I’ve always hated the whole “childhood sweethearts make the best lovers” idea and am glad this drama is showing that it doesn’t always work out. Maybe I’m biased because I’m 100% certain my poor husband would have never married me if he grew up with me lol but luckily I was across the ocean.
