I think many of us felt that way with Shuohua's story. For some, her story is their favorite and that is fine.…
I would say that not only is the personality of each sister very different, and that is wonderful, but also their plots, I still don't know which one is my favorite because they all have a human greatness and so do their husbands. However, I think SH is misunderstood. Today I added a text in the Discussions section with the title "Who is Shou Hua, the First Lady Li". Because of this text, I received an unusual "compliment": a profile said that my comments are so polished that they can only be created by AI. 😅
Hi, hope I'm not bothering anyone but is the drama based on any novel????
The series is a kind of Chinese version of Pride and Prejudice. The plot is very intelligent, well written, funny. It is a sophisticated artistic and cultural production, with traces of Shakespeare's comedies. Go ahead! You will like it!
Just a translation precision about ep 23 : at the end of her story, Guiniang called Haode "Aunt" ( and not "Haode"…
These translation details are so important for sizing the plot and interpersonal relationships! There are so many minutiae in Chinese culture, in Mandarin. There is a huge loss in translations, especially because they are often literal.
Very sensitive of you to highlight this piece of music. I'm a musician, I have a special appreciation for the…
Thank you so much for your kind words and for the opportunity to expand on important information to scale the value of the series. You are a very sensitive person! Music enhances visual and emotional sensations, it is a great ally of sensitivity. I hope to exchange other perceptions with you here at MDL. Once again, thank you very much!
I'm happy that you didn't give up on this brilliant series, produced with a high artistic and cultural level.…
I thank you for your attention in responding and I invite you to read my article "The Presence of Arts in The Double", available in the Articles section of MDL. Cho Na, MDL writer, signs the wonderful visual design and the accurate preliminary edition. The link is below. Once again, thank you for this opportunity.
You know how devoted I am to The Double, and you also have the same feeling. I can already accept the idea that TD and PM are a pair of jewels in the same ring...I'm so happy!!
I was really on the verge of dropping this because the first daughter’s storyline was so lame and poorly written.…
I'm happy that you didn't give up on this brilliant series, produced with a high artistic and cultural level. I don't see SH and DYX the same way as you, imop the plot is not poorly written, it is very rich, the writer used all his skill to construct SH as a cultured, refined woman, with a discreet, silent and monastic nature, just like DYX. Behind this construction, there is a vast, sophisticated and subtle universe. Everything involved in the construction of this couple was meticously planned. SH's narrative weaves together the best of Chinese literature (poetry), painting, and philosophy, indicating that she also possesses cultivation. There are countless quotes from works that are pillars of Chinese culture.The musical background dedicated to her (*leitmotive-literally leading motif), is composed of the guqin, which is the instrument par excellence of scholars, its practice is part of cultivation, it is an intimate instrument, suitable for reflection, and the Xiao flute in E (Mi), the lowest tone for this instrument (vertical blown bamboo flute), the sound is deep and velvety. Bass sounds are associated with an introspective, dark and low-light atmosphere. The choice of the guqin to perform the musical work that characterizes SH's leitmotive (leading motif) is not a random choice, but fulfills the role of harmonizing with SH's monastic nature, in perfect tune with the scholar DYX. She is always involved in domestic tasks and generally in scenes with discreet movements, such as when she is weaving, grinding grains, embroidering. The objective is to evoke, to reproduce Chinese paintings. SH has a lifestyle similar to the life of monks in the temple. Their relationship takes place on a level of deep spirituality in conflict with their human flaws. The environment where their plot unfolds is austere, sober, few objects, few colors, like the fruit bowl on the table, reminiscent of still life paintings, the surroundings have ocher colors and the entire palette of tones, pastel tones with an aura of linen and parchment, that match the detached and silent character of the scholars. This couple enchants me, they are extremely delicate, lyrical, subtle, wise, elegant and sober, characteristic of scholars, they differ from others because they drag us into the field of reflection. The other couples are solar, passionate, emotional, fun, noisy, have a bright color, and are naturally assimilated more quickly.
*Leitmotive: musical term, in German, which means 'leading motive', a concept created in the 19th century, by scholars of the work of Richard Wagner (German musician, 1813-1883), who introduced the concept of associating a melody for each character of the opera. Since then, it has become a practice in operas, theater, telenovels, films, series, advertisements.

I feel the same pleasure. The feeling I have is that you have absolute control of the tool, you are very skilled in the way you communicate. Doing a review helps the series combat misinformation, PM is in need of honest reviews. A great Wednesday to you!
Btw, like some of you know I come her for Da Jie Jie and DYX.And in the beginning, I thought, 4th sister story…
Hi, NothingImportant! It's always great to read your comments and I make a request: please, register your accurate opinions and analyzes in the Reviews section: PM deserves it and users will be grateful.
When is Shen Huizhao going to remember?! I want him to be all lovey-dovey and of course on his knees for Haode.
That day will come soon. We don't have many eps ahead, just 14 for lots of twists, for the 5th daughter, the birth of a child, and of course for the HE!
You are a very sensitive person! Music enhances visual and emotional sensations, it is a great ally of sensitivity. I hope to exchange other perceptions with you here at MDL. Once again, thank you very much!
