How is this drama honest opinion? Im waiting for it to finish so I can binge and it was one of the most anticipated…
It’s great. Hasn’t imploded so far. ZLH is compelling as the dark, slightly demented ML with killer glares and an awesome jawline, while Bai Lu has so far escaped her usual fate of being dumbed down halfway thru a period drama. And there will be a happy ending.
why the sudden change in her behavior? Because of his mom's passing in the past life?
Yes, I think the major stumbling block is that she cannot get past the guilt stemming from the previous life's mistakes. This will probably be even more of an issue I suppose when she discovers he also remembers the past life. There's a reference to a broken vase (and it's there in the preview) which will be a metaphor for their relationship - something which will always have cracks despite the best attempts to repair and cover them up.
Y’all Im half way ep 23 and All I can see is JXN is sooo “active” towards ZZ 😩 Ngl I liked ZZ on earlier…
There's an interview with ZLH and BL where they talk about the 3 suitors: YL is the childhood sweetheart ZZ is like a muse, an ideal character - or in other words, put on a pedestal, not really practical for real life and then there's XW who helps her at all her critical junctures and is her ultimate protector/saviour. He's a keeper.
That powerful scene of XW basically destroying ZZ , so satisfying! ZZ a good person but this is not enough - XW…
XW is the ultimate politcal operator (except increasingly where JXN is concerned). He's adept at trimming his sails according to the situation. Cos despite what he spouts to ZZ, we soon learn that he also ordered fake XDF to kill him. It's only the fear of JXN's reaction that stops him now. What was interesting was to see ZZ standing his ground even though he realises XW can snuff him out any time he chooses.
Seriously, what else did the dastardly Duke do in relation to his eldest son and his first wife back then? His first reax is to try to have his newly found heir eliminated?
But then again, he must be expecting XDF to get some revenge and payback. Still it's pretty cold and ruthless even for a douchebag dad.
I have no idea how the production expects viewers to be into the romance. Just when I'm about to let my inner…
IKR? They should put one of those warnings about flashing lights and how the director will use flares to ensure everyone’s face is obscured at critical moments - ugh!
A kind of PTSD/schizophrenia triggered by wintry and snowy conditions. Stems from the time when he was sacrificed to save the Crown Prince and witnessed the slaughter of 300 kids.
What a lot of self-control and restraint XW must exercise when confronting that lousy excuse of a father……I have said it before, bad parenting has so much to answer for in cdramas.

Sees the couple he doesn’t want to see
XW: Close the door!
