I enjoyed reading your summary. I agree regarding the ml’s acting. There was a “romantic” scene when he smiled and the smile was a bit creepy and seemed forced. For reference see ep 19, at 14:30. Unfortunately, I felt his romantic scenes with the fl after they got together a bit awkward and forced. That’s just my opinion.

Well, they didn’t properly displayed that on screen. I never got the feeling that she truly loved him.

Still loves him? I never felt like she did, since day 1.

Why are they acting the fl? like her character or the fl itself. How are you reading these comments? translation? or can you read Chinese?

I’m confused? where are these attacks taking place?

Good story, happy ending, although the last thing you see is that spineless father happy and clapping his hands, so I gave that a side-eye.

As for the romance and the kisses, they were very quicky, very cutesy, very mindful, very demure, very bland lol.

Still one of the better stories and fls of 2024.

Which chapter are you currently at? I also started reading it and the drama really sugarcoated a LOT of things. It really feels two separate stories with some similarities.

Thanks for this detailed explanation and additional info.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the duke didn’t like the ml in the novel right?

One of the best wedding nights I’ve seen in a cdrama was in my sassy princess.

I felt the same regarding her voice, but you get use to it after a while.

ep 32: wow, the ml didn’t waste any time confessing. The force is strong with him

Ep 32: Really? the ml is her teacher now? Doesn’t he have a 9 to 5 job??? lol

I’ve skipped the second leads so much that I am left wondering why “the Lin family harbours resentment towards Yixiu” and are opposed of the marriage? Is it because the mom is a murderer ?

They always redeem the dads, just look at the dad in the story of minglan and the one in the princess weiyoung. Got away with everything scot-free

Thanks for the explanation. I can’t stand the dad so much!! argh

I like your takeaway - totally agree. Thanks for the explanation.

I may have missed something. Was the divorce letter real? Why did the spineless dad shred it to pieces?

I think the last drama with a consistently grey ml character was “Goodbye my princess” which came out in 2019. I couldn’t stand the ml but his performance was so memorable. The ml in Story of Kunning Palace was also a grey character but I was rooting for his happy ending.

Didn’t he shred that divorce letter into pieces? All I want is at least one jab, shade, reproach at him. I am so frustrated due to NO ONE, I mean, NO ONE on the show calling him out. I feel like entering the screen and be like “remember when you did that, well I’m here to remind you…” lol
