I'm giving this 2 more episodes before I drop it which is a shame because the cinematography is so beautiful but the way writer and directors have interpreted the characters leave much to be desired but the leads are keeping me here. Like I get it, this story is the weakest storyline of all the authors works but this is sloppy scriptwriting.

They either need to blend the foundation on WJY or stop zooming up on her face. The foundation is breaking and patchy which shows. So fucking simply yet can't be done.

Giiiiirrrrrrl, funny how I knew which one immediately! It's still on site when I se Youku.

Baba's song is doing so well and has covers etc.

Youku must've read all my hate comments towards them in the past

Mans was doing community service when he let her bite on her hand.

I howled at the Qin scene. It went to a xianxia drama real quick, I thought I was watching Novoland or something but the minute I saw WJY's face and the bloody fingers, I felt it but then it went back to the sky fireworks lmao

JL was a Mary Sue which is typical of the author's FL. JL came first in all of 5 examinations including horse riding and archery. In many ways, JL is my least favourite of the author's FL but they have fleshed her out better in the drama.

Director, we didn't need a slow mo of the Duke putting his clothes on, maybe the opposite, but that wasn't really artistically necessary lmao

Thank goodness they changed the examination format - much better than the novel!!

Omfg the archery scene was giving me Bring It On vibes when the Clovers came to tell the Toros to stop stealing their shit.

He really can't lmao

The solution YSH gave to the last answer is the same solution Wei Young gave to the Emperor to deal with the drought.

I like that it's catchy. The pop-esque to the track is very similar to C-pop tracks. It definitely could use a bit more bass but Reba sings in a very soft voice so maybe the mixing without the extra bass was intentional. I do agree that a DJ needs to run back a remix lol

I am glad they moved from that situation. It shows they truly love each other and are willingly to achieve what they want together but the angst is coming for sure,

The elder Princess could've been through some shit as a hostage and still be a murderous villain. Both can exist but it doesn't make me sympathise with her.

You're correct about it being a double entendre.

Yeap, and had many methods that she resorts and often experiments.

The funniest thing is, back when I was deciding on whether the drama was worth it after the first two eps, the credits were the best with this lmao

I prefer in the novel depiction as all these skills were taught by her father and brother but I get why they would add this in because its only 40 episodes and its a slow burn.
