Martial

A wonderful actor and a great humanitarian

Power Up, Artist Yang is a great one too!

Totally get what you mean. There's already an unfair advantage and lacks narrative intrigue.

I like more of the stories that have people going from the present to the past or one who has entered into a storybook. I've read some great ones like Dreamer in the Spring Boudair and Transmigrated into a Parvenu's Ex-wife in the ‘90s. Those stories tell a realistic and harrowing realities of being a cannon folder without holding back the blemishes of the person's past behaviour. Power Up, Artist Yang is a crazy good tale too.

Man those tropes are some of the best

Is it? I thought it was only transmigration stories but damn, they can change it and make a coma story then. Now I am thinking whether transmigration and rebirth are the same thing lol Censorship fucking up everything

Absolutely worth it. One of the few transmigration stories that actually takes into consideration the actions of the character prior to their death.

This definitely has a more youthful energy so let's hope they don't disregard the tone of the original novel just so it can be a fluffy drama to draw in audiences. Let's also hope the screenwriter takes advantage of the creative freedom and layer each character.

But I must say, I haven't seen Ma Ke in a role for a while now.

We on the same boat! And I don't want to them to glamourise the trials and tribulations of life too. Keep it raw, keep it real and make the character redemption be worth it for the character. I know, I think I have seen the same with men too but I started one a while back with Gulinazha with Hawick Lau but need to finish it lol it's similar.

I'd love for Reba to star in a slice-of-life type of story. One where she goes through rebirth and learns from the mistakes she made in her past life. Also, a dashing hubby and a beautiful, chubby child wouldn't hurt the storyline too.

Those flashbacks were a set up for all the chaos that was about to come lol *Kevin Hart voice* I waaaaaasnnn't ready!!

Absolutely, he was the father figure she never had and in many ways, the one absolute parent figure in her life. That last shared moment they had really cemented my respect for him as the doting father she never had. The look of absolute love Li Shimin had for her as she walked away into her own path, made me ache for him. There was pain, pride and love in knowing that his affections, teachings and respect was something LGG held close. Still want to fight Hao Du and Minister Du though lol

I absolutely hate Minister Du and Hao Du. I still don't take a liking to them. I know that one has to ruthless and decisive especially when establishing a new Emperor but damn that shit was excessive chasing her throughout the entire Dynasty. I honestly ached for the teenage Princess who had to grow up overnight.

I totally agree. She ultimately chose the route that would give them both the peace of mind that they needed to move forward. She didn't forgive him but she knew she couldn't hate him forever especially if it wasn't her father who died, it would've been Li Shimin. Xuanwu Gate really was an event designed to test one's bottom line. I used to tear up every time Li Shimin would worry about her and then to have his reckless Ministers hound her was heartbreaking.

I'm rewatching some bits again and I have to say the father/daughter chemistry between Li Change and Li Shimin is overwhelming. It just hits different when they are on screen.

Yaaas he getting more roles!

Yes, I am excited for her. I hope she takes it and I hope the writers flesh out all the characters like they did to the characters in Ode to Joy and other female-centric casts.

She does a lot of philanthropy and speaks on social issues such as censorship, air pollution and spreading awareness for refugee resettlement programmes.

My hope is that they don't dim her character light in order to make him shine instead make them shine together.

Bruh she looks amazing in blue!

Di Sheng Tian is the one! Honestly, I like that most of fave characters have been cast. I am itching for it to come out!
