Fated Hearts definitely showed us how an "enemy-to-lovers trope" should be done~ Both the actor and actress delivered their roles so well, which made their characters shine even brighter than they were initially written. I'm so in love with Sui Ge's character, as the battle-hardened, ruthless prince who still carries empathy and justice deep within his heart. Chen Zhe Yuan nailed his role here! Nothing more to talk about, Li Qin; she's the 'queen' after all! X3
Why wouldn't he like to be with her? He is dirt poor.. and she seem to like him. What is there that could get…
I wonder if his problems are tied to the Pei household. From the recent episodes, we learned that he's considered to be just a distant member among all the Pei's. The following is just my assumption. So, his request for a pay raise might have been disrupted by other members of the Pei household, who sees him as just an insignificant person. He's actually the 47th (?), instead of the 12th in seniority. Being from a mere branch family, it is possible that his family alone are not that well-off; no more than just commoners. Thus, those of higher seniority or those who are closer to the main branch, most likely wouldn't want to see him doing better than them. Like they're just being petty.. Mr. Pei wasn't favoured since he was young, either...
As for Lin Yan, our ML, although he has enough wealth on par to his status, he doesn't really care much about how he looks or what he eats. I remember he did say that food is eaten to fill the stomach, and that is enough. That's why his meals always look and taste so frugal. Only after meeting the Shens, he become more lively and enjoy every meal he eats~
Are 'sugar-prints' (getting fingerprints from boiled sugar) in Ep19 even possible?? (ㅎ.ㅎ)
WOW! So you've first hand experience now, haha~ Thank you for sharing them! With your practical work, I now get how its done and the 'sugar-prints' theory makes much more sense~
Well who knows? Maybe these little knowledge might come in handy someday~ XD
Despite their frequent quarrels, whether big or small, the Shen mama and papa are yet another endearing couple~ Their relationship is so natural. (..◜ᴗ◝..)
It makes me think of Gintama 😆; serious yet so unserious at the same time ahahaha!!
Guess how Chen Zhe Yuan answers~ ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ
