I won't try to convince you, neither do I want to. We all have our perspective of viewing things.

Glad you loved it!

One of the most detailed review ever. You hit the spot with this review. You analyzed how their lives was in the past, how they met each other in the present, how their relationship progressed, and how the developed unwavering trust in each other. It's a pity, really a pity, that some are just hellbent on criticizing such a "masterpiece". And yes, TPR is indeed a drama of second chances. Thanks for painstakingly writing such a stellar review!

Glad you loved it. Yes, the characters have depth, some sees it, but are just ignoring it. Their chemistry is natural, unique, electrifying, and off the charts. There's this satisfaction I get watching our Peirong together, they are indeed the loveliest couple ever!! Mai Mai and Ling He makes the perfect pair!

Thanks for agreeing with me!

Thanks for agreeing with me!

Yes, the ending was so satisfying. After all, The Double that some compared this drama to, also had an ending that's somewhat similar. Shen Yu Rong also commited suicide, didn't he? I don't get where all their hatred is coming from. I'll be watching the express episodes on Youku soon, since the subtitles for the one I watched previously was off, but glad I understand Mandarin to some extent. Will rewatch on Youku to have a better understanding of this "masterpiece".

Sure, it'd have been nice if the screenwriter followed the novel. But there'd always be changes in drama, just like TD, the novel also wasn't entirely followed, was it?

You're right. The drama should have ended where Tuoba Yun ascended the throne with Weiyoung as his empress. Also, with their few months of living in harmony together. The drama would have been perfect. But they just had to proceed up until the ML's death. Such heartbreak. If the ML hadn't died, even if he had four years left to live, as long as, just as long as, he didn't die in the end, I'd have given this a full 10. But he died in the end, hence, I gave it a 9!

Glad we share the same opinion.

Yes. Also, in the double, Shen Yu Rong also commited suicide. Commiting suicide seems to be the norms for villains in historical dramas. To be honest, I still can't figure out, whom between Duke Su and Shen Yu Rong had more screentime.

Same here. When screentime is mentioned, villains often gets a lot of them. The Queen of Tears is the perfect example!

How can you say the FL is unpleasant and selfish? She's a princess who was raised to choose power as "love is considered nothing in front of power", that's the way of the imperial family. So, for that kind of bring up, it takes time to change. In my opinion, she's someone who finds it hard to trust other people, also, she's quite reserved.

Yes, some answers are just not given to watchers. In the double, till the end, we never knew XFF's age, how the emperor took consort Li as his concubine, Consort Li's age. The audience just had to guessed it.

Yes, some seem to have forgotten how Shen Yu Rong got a lot of screentime in TD. I remember Duke Su wasn't in an episode, but Shen Yu Rong was. Shen Yu Rong even got a lot more screentime than the SML (Ye Shi Je). But it seems people have forgotten about that. In most dramas, it's normal for villains to get some screentime, people are just not resonating with such facts.

Same here. It's also a double digit drama for me. I don't care about what some might say, but in my opinion, this is one of the best dramas there is!

Happy ending!

Yes. All remaining six episodes has been released as express.

I second the motion!

Of course, it'll get worse. SRQ love excuses, he doesn't want to accept the fact that whether it's in the past or the present, his actions didn't protect LR, but caused her harm. Even more so in the present.
