They really do not need to rush it. thee show can be split into two parts like they did with Love like the Galaxy as a matter of fact Fans would've loved this way more to know there's another season.

Writing quality dropped severely once the massacre in Lin'an happened. The fight scenes are still unpar and that's all about the good thing I can say. With all the Ai scenes, the dragging of the story, the misunderstanding between the leads...Like come on man. There's only 8 episodes left. We should be focusing on the backstory of the ML/FL fathers and what happened back then. Wei Yan is a Villain yet we've yet to see him being his evil self. We're just hearing that he's a mastermind but never see him doing anything but argue in the court a few times. Like why is he a villain in the plot of you won't let him execute being one? Wen Kan is annoying too. I just think instead of trying to pack everything into the last two episode and give we a rush ending without showing us their life's after they've settle down they could cut some of these filler scene and pace out the important stuffs accordingly.

That is not at all a good thing. Before Ai became prominent CGI was doing it's thing just fine. It's actually better than people losing their work and art to a machine that is destroying the earth. We of course cannot stop them from using it but I would much rather they stick to only using it for absolute necessities

It is not. There's a clear difference between what CGI and AI looks like and those scenes were in fact AI generated. I've been watching Asian drama since 08, I think I'm well verse in differentiating between the two.

They're using AI in this show and it's literally so obvious. They used it for the flood as well as in the flashback to the battlefield in ep 27....OH brother can they not only use it if it's absolutely necessary like to switch an actors face or something? why for simple scenes like those...and it's literally so obvious too.

To be totally transparent I’m watching for three reasons. I want to know the full story between Qi Man and Qian Qian, why would Wei Yan kill his uncle then turn around to raise his child to be formidable and why did FL parents had to die. More than anything I’m most curious about the last two.

I hope no one takes this the wrong way and think I'm hating but.....I've seen better shows... I'm not saying there's anything wrong or the story is bad or anything....I'm just saying it's nothing special. I've watched so many dramas over the years so it's really hard for me to be impress unless the concept of the plot is fresh.

It's still a very great watch at least better than the rubbish they've been releasing last year and early this year but it's nothing exceptional I haven't seen before. I just hope they remain consistent and not fall off towards the end like Fated Hearts did.

The only thing I find annoying so far is how long it's taking for her to find out his real identity(I'm ep 24) and the princess Royal shamelessly chasing Gongsun; maybe he's pretending to be uninterested in her but I don't care about that I just hate the fact she's chasing after a man who isn't showing her any interest then she acts victimized and cry when turn down. All she's doing is just creating trouble for everybody. She's one more mouth to feed and one more pawn to take hostage and having to rescue.

I must say though I really love how thorough and consistent they're about Female lead being strong and skilled in fighting. Her act of being imposing really sells. Her fighting scenes are believable and she really gives off that killing aura when needed. I've only ever seen such performance from one other FL in cdramaland. This is the only thing I can say sets it apart from everything else I've watched.

He was forcefully kissed without his consent. I don’t care if it was to give him medicine….he simply never consented to have her lips placed upon his. SA is SA. Quit talking to me you dumbass bxtch

stfu.... what does that have to do with ml getting SA'd?

Bruh wrap this rubbish up. never let these directors or screenwriters near a script again. it's as if they're writing as they go....Meaning directly on set while filming. "Oh, how can we justify this character behavior? let's turn her husband into an abuser...."Oh can we give FL a new love interest that will be sweet and kind to her and always priortize her very need Howver she won't end up with him cause that's not the pick for ML?" Let's have his family force his hand...etc etc. Like this is brain rot and not in a good way. No time was spent to review and make sure the script add up and most of all make sense. Just 30 episodes of straight garbage. I'm actually impressed.

A kiss he did not consent to…..are you in your right mind?

I’ve already said all of this. It’s obvious. She had already ran away almost right after she gave birth and started cheating that’s before the suppose abuse started. It’s quite obvious that they wrote off Liu Zhu character as an abuser so she gets a pass and pity.

I can't begin to express how immensely backwards this show is. Not once did Wangzi reprimand Qian Qian nor did she tell her how wrong she was for what she did to Lui Zhu. I need ya'll to understand I am by no means defending an abuser and I DO NOT think Liu Zhu is a good person, he's okay at best. but this needs to be said.
 
Every single brutal reaction Lui Zhu has had against Qian Qian was her own fault for provoking him from running her mouth knowing that she's in the wrong. Then FWZ has the nerve to ask him what he did wrong? and tell him to take care of Dahu and not let him blame Qian? Please give me a fuxking break....She wasn't wrong when she approached him because he had land and money she could use to her advantage to take care of her sick mother? She wasn't wrong when she left her newborn son and husband so she could come to Shenzhen and be a ho? (Yes, as a matter of fact I am $lut$haming her.) Was she not wrong for doing all of this AND MORE btw. 

To top it all off she looked that man dead in his face and said all of this about how she wasn't loyal to him and whatnot. I am by no means saying she deserves to be hit, and 100% understand that his family are a bunch of misogynistic assholes that wanted to use her for a baby machine. I get it and I too might've ran away. But using logic isn't this her own fault? she literally approached him after he aggressively hugged FWZ which in many cases could be seen as assault and soon after got pregnant. 

None of her actions were done out of love; she literally did all of that so she could take his money. When the benefits started to run dry and she began to grow bored of pretending she likes him she ran; she ran and abandoned both him and the young child. No motherly instinct, no gratitude, no nothing. and the worst thing about all this is she didn't move back with the girls so she could learn business and have a better life...no no no she abandoned her child and ran straight for the streets. straight into the arms of married men all because they had money. 

They're trying to paint it to seem as if she left cause his family is abusive yeah that's like less than 1% of why she bailed. That girl wants to sleep around for money that's why she left. If she was truly being wronged to an unbearable degree in her matrimonial home she would've run to her friends to complain about it, not run to sleep with married men.

Even a blind man could tell they wrote in Zhu being abusive so that they could justify Qian Qian promiscuity. What they fail to realize though is the contrast between the real character and the abusive one they wrote in. It's plain as day all he wants his the family to be back together and his son to have his mother. But sure

 Fang Wang zi morals need to be put in check, she knows to judge and treat all the wrong people harshly when she literally has that redacted in her camp. I just can't get over how they're making it seem as if Liu Zhu is the ONLY and greatest evil here. Even the people tell you not to provoke people to wrath and that's exactly what she did and kept doing yet she faces no repercussions and even gets treated like the victim. 

He is an absolute idiot who has no backbone and can easily be led but we all know he did not deserve what the writers did to him. They wrote that girl to provoke him and push him to the edge then spun it to make him an abusive attempted murder. ah okay...Like WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME TAKE A MAN SIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!

The actors did a very very poor job working with what they had. The story in itself wasn’t that much far off from the book. It’s the expressionless acting was the issue. Almost no one put in any effort to properly embody the character they’re playing. Most of them were just flat. If you realize no one is criticizing the older generations/side story actors acting…..there’s a reason for that.

The cast choices for the leads in my opinion were wrong. They needed more experience actors/actress or an extremely talented rookie. The Female actress was especially very wrong here for obvious reasons I won’t explicitly say. If you’ve watched Story of Minglan and Love like the galaxy or have personally read the corresponding novels then you would understand exactly what I mean. Before it aired I was especially worried about this very thing and true to it I was very much correct. I’ve watched both leads past works so I could tell their range especially because they weren’t that experienced yet. Also I don’t think it’s only their faults, the screenwriters and directors are to be blamed to a certain degree too.

I just knew....I knew it. This has been the only novel adaptation by Guan Xin Ze Luan that has received such poor reviews. The way this writer writes her novels 1. you need really experience actors or a extremely talented rookie to convey the feelings of her characters 2. The directors/ Screenwriters cannot stray too far away from the original piece or the whole storytelling will literally fall apart. Although not a complete failure I think this show ended being just so-so instead of excellent like the novel because of my two listed points. Almost nobody knew how to properly showcase the emotions their characters were to be conveying. It's like nobody wanted to look ugly on camera if that makes sense. To me all efforts were focus on the sets, photoshoot, cgi and costume and not so much on doing retakes if necessary and making sure everybody were properly embodying their actual onscreen characters instead of their in real life selves. Acting isn't just about memorizing a few lines, you need to remember the character you're playing background and act accordingly to that or there will be discrepancy in your portrayal. The directors seemingly forgot this very thing with show.

She got with him because his family had some money plus they urgently wanted him to get married too. She wanted to use that for her advantage since her mother was sick. Once her mother passed and reality started to kick in she ran away and also wanted to divorce him. She herself said she looked down on him and had it not been for what he could offer she wouldn’t have slept with him. She’s dead set on getting a rich man to depend on so she can continue her life of luxury. He’s not completely a terrible person but he’s also not overly bad either. He aggressively came onto FWZ and some would argue it’s because he didn’t know any better but outside of that he has been a fair and kind person. The way they’ve later turn him into this blood thirsty maniac just to justify Qian Qian wrongdoings is just poor poor writing.

So that person is once again here under another one of my comment…..because of them I genuinely don’t even want to comment my company anymore. So annoying.

There’s this one verified user here who is dead set on rebutting everyone who has point out the flawed and foolish writing of this show….its really so funny now I’m wondering if they are a bot or something. Cause bro….such level of unemployment is unfounded. I’m honestly shock😭😭😭. Baby please note we’re not criticizing the Lead actress. I’m sure she’s doing her best to work with what she’s got but please stop the writing is not it. It’s not at all believable let’s not be naive now😔

This isn’t a romance drama to be honest. The FL does have one relationship so far but spoiler it didn’t go well. There’s a reoccurring man but there’s no clear romance between them. Overall it’s business focus but for me I’m not completely enjoying the show since I’m not “convinced ” by female lead success. For me I honestly think the show has made her story unnecessarily complicated. There’s obvious better steps to take that could’ve built her character and career faster and much more interesting as oppose to what they’re trying to portray now. Also I think she has been making all the same mistakes over and over again. All her mistakes comes from her trusting the wrong people constantly. I also hate how she ostracize her father after learning some truth while she had no problem wholeheartedly embracing her the neglectful mother and cheating friend Qian Qian.
