Ugh... Tears

Again, every time Fang Zi Yan appears in this drama I sigh, this man knows no limit. His bad personality actually makes me like Chu Mo even more, lol. I was so enamored by both him and Rou when they fought Zi Yan together.I am excited to see Chu Mu fighting Lu Qi (besides, I will be more attentive of whatever is going on with Lu's family). Speaking of which, I liked Lu Yingying so far, she seemed to be spoiled but cute overall, and it looks like she will become a princess?Something I can say is that I liked her interaction with Fang Zi Yan, maybe they will become a couple? Though I understand that her father, Lu Yun Ji, killed Fang's family.I cried extremely hard this episode, the entire Third Madam character arch was so touching to me, she is ungrateful and petty, true, but she is a good person and a mother in the very end, I adored her and everything she represented for this drama. I wasn't quite expecting this darker turn, but I enjoy dramas that are more mature and realistic.

Big feelings

This episode was such a fun watch. A problem I feel with some dramas is that I usually am only interested in one storyline, but this drama is *chef kiss*. I'm glad that Chu Mu's family is able to take pride in him (even if it's at a slower pace, which I like) and I am so invested in the whole kidnapping ordeal with Fu Rou.I was surprised and pleased with Chu Mu's quick personal development, although I think it could have been a little more gradual, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt since I don't know exactly how long he spent in Guangzhou.And Fu Rou's situation is giving me anxiety! I hate Yan Zi Fang, this man acts in such a disgusting way, ignoring boundries and forcing himself on the woman he supposedly likes, and for what? There is absolutely no justification for his attitude. In every scene with him, I just wanted Chu Mu to finish him off.Some extras I want to mention: I will miss Fu Tao! I really hope for his future, and he's such a good man too!I have conflicted feelings about Third Madam, she tried to kill Fu Rou, but then she helped her with her dowry (which was the least she could do)... And first madam is the sweetest!I'm writing this review quickly because I'm really looking forward to the next episode!

Rollercoaster of Emotions

God, what an episode!I went through a rollercoaster of emotions while watching it.First of all, I'm very, very happy that Fu Rou discovered Chu Mo's lies in just three episodes, because I wouldn't have been able to forgive him if it had happened halfway through or more of the plot (as happens in many series). But I feel very sorry for him, even knowing he's wrong, probably because I understand he did it out of stupidity, not malice.I was sad to watching and knowing that Chu Mo's attempt to fix things would likely backfire, and rightfully so. My biggest hope for the next episodes is that they manage to talk and understand each other, because during the short period in which they reconciled, I was very happy T-T.Side note: I'm loving the slow burn of the relationship between Du Ning and Fu Yin, I hope it develops further throughout the episodes.Side note 2: I hated Chu Mo's reaction when Fu Rou slapped him, because in that situation, how can you use your position to defend yourself? And how can you not deduce that something you did caused that reaction? My boy is stupid sometimes I swear.

Anxious for more!

This is the first training arc for our boy, Chu Mu! I love how the story is developing so far, the pacing is great, with problems being introduced and resolved at just the right time.The only thing that worries me a little is that Fu Rou is apparently falling in love with this false persona that Chu Mu is creating, and not with who he really is, and this lie is too big to sustain (and a relationship based on a lie like that can never be healthy), so I fear that she will eventually find out and be even more hurt.On a positive note, it seems that Chu Mu is taking his future more seriously and (perhaps) his feelings for Fu Rou, but this remains to be seen.Three details I really liked in this episode were: the conflict between the second lady and Fu Rou being resolved in a very amicable way, without either party committing any truly malicious acts, just some minor disagreements, which I find more realistic and pleasant; Fu Tao's attitude towards Chu Mu, who proved to be much more friendly and understanding of his advances towards his sister; and finally, I'm really invested in the difficulties faced by Lady Cheng and her husband in caring for Chu Mu.

This was a perfect first episode, 10/10.

A good first episode, it starts already engaging the viewer showing us the action as it is occuring.My first impression was how beautiful the historical clothing worn by the characters were, with particular emphasis on the hairstyles. I hope they maintain the quality of the costumes and vary the outfits throughout the series.Li Yi Tong is stunning as Fu Rou, and her cool attitude is really charming, which contrasts a lot with Chu Mo's playful and mischievous nature (which I also like), I hope this more perverted side of his isn't explored too much, because personally, I would easily feel uncomfortable with that type of character.I loved the family dynamic so far too, with Fu Roo's mother's sweet attitude, the second madam's light rivalry, and the good relationship between siblings.The ending is a cliffhanger which makes me want to watch the next episode right away!
