It was good while it lasted.- FL quickly turns into dumb and stupid- ML turns into SimpI understand the trope…
Thank goodness I read this because I knew I dropped it for a reason. I watched the first episode and quickly felt I had seen the plot line a thousand times.
The actress is incredibly talented yet is always riddled with shitty scripts so I feel bad for her. But this bloody trope of innocent and adorable female lead taming the cold and stoic hero is so tried and tired. She is nothing more than a moral catalyst for his heroic deeds.
There are c-dramas with incredibly complex and nuanced characters both female and male characters like Nirvana on Fire, The Story of Ming Lan, The Story of Yanxi Palace etc but this is definitely not one of them. The producers and writers know they have a formula that has literally propelled some shows into stardom but they really need to experiment more.
Peng Xiaoran is nailing her role atm. She's an absolute natural. Despite her small screen time so far, Du Ya Fei has really captured the essence of his character. I like that he cares deeply for the Princess yet had to pretend that on the surface, he is cruel and only works for the interests of the Emperor.
I am not crazy about the male lead and the way they've characterised him. He comes across annoying rather playful but I guess it's because of the way Jin Han's playing him. Hopefully, we get to see more character development later on.
You’re not the only one. Here, let me throw you a virtual hug. 😭
You too! We love an avid supporter! I support anything with my Queen Dilraba in it! But I am equally critical if a drama isn't up to par so I was happy this one was a breath of fresh air! We wanted a grown up, realistic and mature relationship on screen and we got it! People kept saying it was too slow, too depressive blah blah and I was like sis, this is what adulting is like for some people. We are no longer children and the pace changes when we have evolving perspectives and responsibilities.
Honestly, this is the kind of content we need from our script writers and producers not the endless sneaky hoes who show up to ruin the parade in designer heels!

Thanks sweetie! These two really set the whole show on fire. Their chemistry, the script and production was everything we need in a fluffy C-drama! Arggh I love that these those toxic ex's were farewelled from the beginning of the drama so we could Stan our couple from the get go!
Congrats to Reba and TLB team for being crowned the most searched drama for the first half of 2021 beating out Duolou Continent and Siteng to take the top spot. https://www.instagram.com/p/CS9NA28FkU4/?utm_medium
