Noble Lady Lie

So far, I have not seen other couples in short dramas having a chemistry together like these two actors. However, you may like the main couple in Summer Rose, 2025, with actress Guo Yu Xin who has a lovely charisma herself. You may like the short historical fantasy drama A familiar stranger, 2022.

Just a lovely short drama-series with lots of chemistry between the FL and ML. Both actress Chen Fang Tong ánd actor Dai Gao Zheng s are absolute equals in acting ability, charisma and looks. Which hetero girl-woman did not dream of a man like He Yu Chen. Intelligent, educated, strong, well-built, manly and fearless, and still vulnerable, softhearted and loving. The Fl is a strong FL. Some commenters complain about a messy plot, but I don´t agree with that at all. Just a very enjoyable, romantic short drama.

Somehow, how sleazy most short vertical dramas are, watching Dai Gao Zheng and Cheng Fang Tong paired as a romantic ML and FL couple is always lovely. Talking about chemistry. Their acting is well enough. The eps are 11 minutes, just enough to fill up some small chips of time between chores, or waiting for someone.

Strange ending, seems a sad ending, and then the last scene has a twist, which sort of makes a mysterious, unclear, open ending ...

Two actresses are both called Baby Zhang. The one in Moonshine and Valentine is Baby Zhang Baijia (1993). The other Baby Zhang is Kristy Zhang Hanyun (j1989), who is the FL in Princess of Lanling King and Lady in the Butcher´s house.

Yes, she got a miscarriage, got divorced. She did not cheat at all. After divorce she starts dating her younger colleague. it is not unusual for people to have a superficial amourous affair after divorce. Neither good, neither bad, just human. Her temporary would be lover had been chasing her, as you pointed out. She, however, was 100% a free woman after the divorce.

I think she definitely would not recognize everyone, but some, yes.

I used to invite my sister in law for family-events, small gatherings etc, so she could meet more of our near and distant family-members. However, she and my brother did nothing similar to connect her family with our family. That´s how it happens that in laws never have met, or perhaps only meet once in their life.

Loving the chemistry of these two, and I like both actors individually too. Didn´t watch it yet, since my currently watching and plan to watch lists are way to long already. ..

yes

thanks, I was wondering

yes, that´s what I meant, Chinese-language (mainland) dramas in general. Thanks for you reaction.

Thanks for this tip la0wai, this sounds really interesting, something I like to watch.

I have watched this drama (I) en its sequel Emperor through to the Modern II with only part of the episodes subbed. I can´t really understand Chinese, so I did not get the story 100%. Somehow I still liked it, and I could understand enough to continue. I wonder what happened to the FL actress Yuan Zhong Fang, I quite liked her. According to the MDL information she seems to have stopped acting.

Unfortunately the male lead seems to have a poisonous cocktail of personality disorders. I´m not sure if he falls in the tsundere spectrum.

good question, my interpretation was that since she ´suddenly´ got her amazing sense of smell in her youth through eating hot peppers, she can loose it by eating something else. I don´t remember if this was part of the story in the original web novel.

Positive things and critical things can be said, as you can read as you scroll down. All of the criticism is correct. However, I enjoyed this drama because of the cooking, the food, the attention for the senses (esp smell, taste, seeing). After watching the series I read the original web novel in English. Title (The) Heartbeat at the Tip at the tongue by Jiao Tang Dong Gua. You can easily find the translated novel online. Book better than drama.

thanks for your suggestion, I will look for it

Thnx for your reaction. Let´s hope indeed that the matters of Nashi and HYTT are resolved, and their careers can go on as they wish. True, vertical dramas have quite horrible narratives. A happy 2026 for you too, as well as a prosperous year of the Horse.
