I don't want him to end up with her because otp is so cute, but dang am I the only one that just feels a pit of…
Du Lei is becoming more and more interesting and he has a huge space for charcater development but I still hate it when he sneaks his way to meet Jiang Jun.
I have a question. I would like to understand a little bit more about the Eastern culture. I do not want to disrespect…
No doubt in eastern culture it is still very important to have a male heir to perpetuate the blood and name of the family. But it is also the case in many cultures around the globe as it was the case in western culture not so long ago. Many eastern societies are still patriarchal and would resort to very extreme measures to have a son.
In the drama, the Du family looses his biological son and the father decides to substitute him with a boy born the same day and make him named like his lost son and call himself the "biological" son. In reality, some families with no son would adopt one and if they cannot, they would buy one from another family or from traffickers. When the wife had only girls they would divorce her to try their chance with another woman or marry a second unofficial wife. In the worst case they would physically eliminate one of the girls to have the right to another child see if it a boy. There are also the cases where the husband cannot have kids so the family made the wife bed with the brother see if they can have a baby boy. Also there is this case where a brother simply gives one of his son to his brother who cannot have one... Drama don't even come close to what existed and still exist today even if these things are disappearing now.
As for the marriage with same status families, I think the perfect example is in India where marriage with a lower family or family from a lower caste can be considered an honour crime and she girl may pay it with her own life. Example is this girl who was killed and burnt by her own family because she married a man from a low caste. Luckily all eastern societies are not that extreme. But they still prefer their children to marry in wealthier families. As they say, a poor family as in laws would bring your child's life down. I heard it with my own ears.
I really liked Riley Wang in I hear you, and I am liking Shane Xiao in Marry Me . However on here you can tell…
It is also because their romance is pretty tasteless so far. The girl looks like a busybody if not a stalker and he has no clue or no time for her as he is dedicated to his work. We know little about their background especially hers so their story is not very endearing so far. Hope it will improve in the next eps.
Are you kidding. Dal Shik and Cinderella were the best part in this drama. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z73rWUhfE8
The fact that you think that only black people can address a question about having rastafarian hairstyle makes you a racist. I am not speaking for the rest of the black people including Jamaican. I am speaking for human beings to tell that rastafarian style does not belong to black people or Jamaican people and they have no right to criticize or forbid anyone to adopt it or talk about it.
You are the one who should shut your mouth. Culture is a process of appropriation by mankind since the time they lived in grottos and hunted mammoth to eat. Blessed these times when they were no morons to tell us what we have the right to dress with or talk about or cut our hair like. If you do not understand this maybe you should consider going back to school and educate yourself.
It's just a romance drama. The drama has been good so far but I wouldn't hope for a lot of depth or character…
I know so far it is rather funny and cute romance but I will be disappointed if the 2nd third and last third of the drama just look like the 12 first eps.. There are questions that need to be adressed. Not only why Jiang Jun entered MH but what is Du Lei and Linda's relationship. Also I expect Yuan Shai to be more seriously challenged and Li Xiao Chuan to have a bigger role. Still 24 eps to go. I am sure they have things to tell.
Bai Lu and Luo Yunxi are very cute together in this drama but their interactions lack of sparkle and magic. Their dialogues sound dull at times. Them being cute together does not save the drama from its flaws: so far the second leads bring nothing to the drama, the office plots have little to do with Investment banking and are more police matters. The rival of our ML looks weak and miserable. I guess he is not the real vilain. Yuan Shuai is an endearing character. There is a good balance between his competencies, skills and achievements and his crazy reactions and moves to protect Jiang Jun. Furthermore the flash backs show how misunderstood he was and it gives more depth to his character. I hope Jiang Jun will evolve soon and become stronger and also the story around her father's death will develop. Need more characters' developement (Jiang Jun but also Xiao Chuan, Xu li, Du Lei, Linda, Qiao Na...) and more complexity.
I thought it’s bai lu and xukai, why????B & X are good actors, they deserve another project..Sorry but I’m…
Bai Lu and Xu Kai ended in bad terms. They unfollowed each other on social media. Of course they are professionnal actors and there will be chances they work together again but I don't think we will see it so soon. Maybe it is the best for them. They are young actors. They need to move on for their own career and work with different people to learn and make achievements. For me, it is not so good when two actors work too much together.
Wu Jin Yan is a good actress. She has a talent to portray strong charismatic women. Bai Lu is also very good at portraying strong women but she is a little bit too pretty. Personnally I believe the change of actress won't be prejudiciable to the drama.
Did u watch it already? Heard that the younger sister is already married by episode 8 or something?
Their plan went wrong and the little sister replaced the older sister and they married for real. But ok this drama has little consideration for the institution of marriage. First marriage planned was an assassination plan . Second marriage planned was to save the Emperor. In this drama, marriage is like going to the bathhouse.
After 3 good and fast paced episodes with a lot of fun, scheme and counter scheme, action, swordfights ... the plot is going downhill. Too many palace schemes, wordy scenes and actions which make no sense. Ep7 is the worst. Why did things turn out this way? Absolutely lazy writing just to create angst and dilemma. Gosh I wanted to see a nice and entertaining drama. Not an historical documentary about how emperors used two marry sisters to deal with palace schemes.
It was unexpected and a litlle bit awkward for me. After saying he would play the piano to help JK, clearly she…
I also think it is his first actual relationship. She looks a little bit more experienced as she is not afraid to tell her feelings. But both of them together look like teens on their first time dating. It is cute and refreshing.
