Iām so lostā¦ where I can watch this drama. I have Youku (but they donāt release it on international Youku), I canāt access VIKI (not in my region), I have Disney but I guess they also didnāt release it on all region, while for VIUā¦ itās only the trailer on VIU. Is VIU kinda late for C-Dramas or what? IāVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG, likeā¦ are u kidding me.šš«µ *Iām so frustrated, why the hell they making it hard for viewers*
Iām still in the middle of watching, but let me rant a little bit: Why is Team Solo always shouting at each…
I donāt like how much anger, miscommunication, and avoidance there is in their relationship. I feel so bad for TongNian in many ways, especially since the people who caused the problem in the first place (the family dinner situation) were the Han brothers. He didnāt even want to break up in the first place eitherā¦
But considering how immature the ML is when it comes to relationships (and the fact that heās experiencing love for the first time), while TongNian is such a lovely and warm person, I feel like she might end up āleadingā him out of his struggles.
I feel sad for TongNian, but I hope her kindness will be worth it in the end.
Iām still in the middle of watching, but let me rant a little bit: Why is Team Solo always shouting at each other? Likeā¦ CALM THE FREAK DOWN PLEASE š Iām so done with all the shouting, especially considering theyāre not that young anymore. Also, I know Shangyan had a rough past with his friends/family and all that, but I really hope he takes his anger issues seriously.
I'm obssesed... I really didn't put any expectations on this one since I haven't read any synopsis or spoilers of the plot. One thing that makes me watch this drama is Dilraba, Chen Feiyu, and their OST lineup. But... it turns out the story has been super exciting so far. I can't predict what FL and ML gonna do facing every situation. They are freak pairs, crazy, kind, soft, cold, but warm at the same time. I really hope the plot stays good until the end of this drama. Really good one!!!
I can't help but fall in love with He Simu (istg if I'm the ML I'll instantly fall in love with her like OMGGGG) and how freak she is, then proceeded to see Duan Xu's freak side (especially when he was in the North Soldiers camp, iykyk).
Dilireba's acting is always good for me (I personally love her acting), but this one surprisingly makes me fall in love with He Simu. She's fierce, cold, smart, FREAK, but VERY CUTE AND GORGEOUS. Big love.
P.S. Whoever put Liu Yuning's OST in their recent scene (the market scene), God bless you because the OST matches that very cute scene. Also, Zhou Shen's voice, as always... bless my ears.
So, the FL is Ju Jing Yi, ML Tian Jiarui. Second FL Chen Duling, second ML Joseph Zeng, right? Thereās romance between JuJingyi & Tian Jiarui characters?
So far I REALLY LOVE the drama. All of the cast portrayed their character so well. Also, I love how they packed every coupleās story in such a unique way.
FeiNi & Fang Muyangās love story is written in the most beautiful way. They might not be the smoothest couple, but I love how they grow, learn, and supporting each other through phases of their life. Kind, smart, emotionally stable, and one thing for sure: good at communication & understanding!
Istg Fenglin pmo soooooo much. Wu Youyou portrayed villain character so well to the point where I want to slap Fenglin so bad.šš
Iāve watched up to the beginning of episode 21 & I canāt wait to see Fenglinās downfall.
Also, I want to appreciate Sun Qian for her role as FeiNi. Sheās such an AMAZING AMAZING actress!!! Sheās FeiNi, her acting is so natural, which makes me drawn into her emotions. If FeiNi happy, Iām happy. If FeiNi sad, Iām sad.
I really hope more people recognize her acting and I believe sheāll shine even more in the future.
The English title is "Glory", translation of Chinese "Rong". The title in Mandarin is "Jade…
I see... thank you for explaining!!
I donāt mind if the story stays connected to the Rong familyāafter all, they are the center of the story. However, the inner family conflict (sister rivalry, husband competition, power struggles within the household) lasted way too long, in my opinion.
What I was really hoping for was a stronger focus on the Rong familyās tea business, or at least more plotlines outside of repetitive family conflicts. Yes, the tea business still exists as the background of the story, like how RSB and the Rong sisters manage the tea plantations and shoulder their responsibilities. But I was expecting more variety in the plot. After almost 30 episodes of sister conflict, it started to feel stagnant.
Maybe this comes down to expectations, I thought the story would gradually evolve into a broader narrative about tea trade, business expansion, external conflicts, and industry politics, instead of staying so long within the household drama. Exploring different regions, tea cultures, transportation challenges, or rival businesses wouldāve added so much depth and freshness to the story.
Overall, I still love the drama, but I canāt help feeling that a lot of great potential was left untouched.
Iām going to be honestāIām obsessed with this drama and how the story unfolds. But Iād say they kind of wasted a lot of plot potential. Also, considering this is only a 36-episode drama and they still added another Rong family plot, it really pissed me off. The Rong family arc shouldnāt have been dragged out for so long, and Iām so done with that old granny.
Just imagine if they introduced Lu Jianglaiās arc earlier, added more politicalābusiness elements (but not centered around the Rong household), or explored the tea business more deeply. For example, an arc about transporting tea or showing tea businesses in different regions wouldāve been so fun. Imagine seeing another city with different tea specialties. I love that they provide tea-related information after the ending credits, but it wouldāve been even better if they explained it through the plot itself.
I donāt mind having a family-conflict storyline, but they really dragged it out too long.
The story and acting are amazing, and they still manage to surprise viewers in every episode (itās unpredictable, in my opinion). BUT they let go of so much potential in other arcs. Just imagine spending around 30 episodes on the Rong family and only leaving 6 episodes without properly explaining Lu Jianglaiās background or situation. The tea business concept is actually very unique, but it wouldāve been much more fun if they focused more on the business itself rather than the internal conflicts of the Rong family.
Watch some news or read some history. It isn't about logic, it's about human nature, where people that are different…
Calm downā¦ of course itās human nature, and Iām naturally pissed off by this kind of behavior. Especially in the context of blaming others and acting superior.
Iām kind of pissed off by how humans always blame demons, while they themselves are free to do evil things and then pin everything on Hongye. Itās like: Something bad happensā"Oh, itās the demonās fault." Then... "Oh, we must kill Hongye."
What kind of logic is that? Can't u give this man a rest?
I also realized that most of Hou Minghaoās characters that Iāve watched so far are targeted or blamed for things they didnāt do. Tbh, he has already done the demon king trope and the ābeing blamedā trope before, which makes me wish he would pick more diverse roles. That said, so far I like how the story is progressing, the characters are cute, and the Xiao YaoāHongye dynamic is enjoyable.
I also love how Tan Songyun portrayed Xiao Yaoās characterāsheās unique, naughty, has her own judgment, full of love, and wise. Sheās playfully annoying in the cutest way possible. I love her.
I decided to watch this drama on its premiere date. Four episodes in so far, and I love it! I really like how every character has their own motive, and you canāt help but be suspicious of everyone. Even those characters with an āinnocentā look.
I love how the plot has evolved so far. Itās not too slow, not too fastājust the right pace. I also like the MLās survival instincts. And the FL is SO, SO ALPHA (love it). Sheās the real definition of a firstborn daughter and firstborn granddaughter. Her responsibilities and pressure are REAL.
I also want to praise the writer for not turning the ML into a completely different character after he experiences memory loss. He still retains his core personality traits, martial arts skills (which can be explained as muscle memory), and intelligence. Basically, heās still the same personāheās just lost his identity and memories of himself, without losing who he is at his core.
