Well observed! I like your review, it’s spot on for this drama hence my disappointment too. It just feels like both k drama and c drama industry are heading towards commercialism and formulated way of production, which is rather sad. Recently I watched ‘Frankenstein’ by Gullimore Del Toro, with beautiful cinematic feel and fantastic character’s growth, so well filmed, the attention to details and yet not neglecting the story arc. And I am glad that there are still such great production around making good movies.
I believe it is the same basis as how Xia Xiaolan realised clothing was better than electronics as an interim…
Yup, clever girl. I was thinking that in her own timeline, why wouldn’t she be successful, perhaps it was her lack of opportunities and lack connection with good people.
Up to ep 8, I admired this FL character’s confident.

Wow! Mind blown concept. The original author of the novel is really ambitious with such a story, complex. Explained why there are so many chapters 😅. Thanks for sharing. I don’t mind spoilers from novel, it gave me more appreciation on screenplay. I always feel it’s harder job to adapt a novel to screenplays, and with censorship…so many consideration to be able to write it well🤩.
The village, the biases towards being born as a girl, the rumours that spread like wild fire and cause harm to victim, the inequality in gender, in marriage…this part of the story reminds me so much of the other drama “Reborn”.
For people wondering, made a couple changes to the novel, in the novel, the original FL actually dies, so she…
