Wei Shao is so Asian dad coded, he actually handed Manman two fruits after lecturing her, lmao.
Still, it’s a bit hard for me to watch a woman being 'lectured' by her husband and treated like a child. But I guess, since it’s a costume drama, it makes sense for the time period, even if it feels outdated by today's standards.
Let me guess, Liu Yan and Lady Yulou’s reckless ambitions will probably be their downfall. It’s only a matter of time before their desire for power backfires.
Actually, this couple are more interesting due to their plot against Wei State.I am beginning to feel bored with…
Maybe it’s not so much about the romance, but more about Wei Shao’s healing journey. Personal growth is a slow process, and watching him evolve over time adds a lot of depth to the story. I think that's what makes it engaging for me, even if it’s not the fastest-paced part of the plot.
Bi Zhi has no personality. He's really just a blockhead and has no opinion on anything, and just follow his wife's…
Surprisingly, I really like Bi Zhi's character! He’s always smiling and in a good mood, which adds a lot of warmth to the show. He may not be the loudest or smartest, but his calm, kind, and generous nature is what makes him stand out for me. Sometimes, strength comes in quiet forms.
So disappointed in Da Qiao! Pickle ur love and eat it for dinner.
That's an interesting point. When a character doesn’t act the way we expect or desire, it can be unsettling. Projecting one’s own values, beliefs, and experiences onto characters can definitely lead to disappointment 🫠
Talking about selfishness... Imagine surviving a fierce battle thanks to your wife's reinforcements, and the first thing you do is complain that she didn’t send a letter 😂 Gratitude, right? 😆
I understand Qiao Fan's selfish thinking, her family never helped her when she needed help the most, she even…
My feeling is that as soon as a woman defends her own interests, she’s often labeled ‘selfish,’ when in reality, she’s just trying to protect what matters to her. It’s interesting how that double standard always pops up.
The scene between the two sisters was so poignant—such an emotional moment. The dialogue really captured their differing perspectives, especially how both were desperately trying to protect their husbands. Who else found themselves shedding a tear? 😢
Up to Ep 22 - Why do men sometimes pretend to like another woman just to push away the one they truly love? It's…
I totally get your point! 😩 The male lead's behavior is tough to watch, but his cruelty is rooted in his childhood trauma. Healing from that kind of pain doesn’t happen overnight—it takes years, maybe decades, to truly change. It doesn’t excuse his actions, but it helps explain why he’s so torn. Still, watching her suffer because of his choices is heartbreaking. 😢 She deserves better, and honestly, Mr. Zhang feels like a much better match now.
As for the convoy family... I think their deaths were part of the shift in the story—from the adventurous first arc to the more settled, city-focused second arc. But it still felt like a cruel way to reset everything. 💔
