After the huge disappointment with Fox Spirit Matchmaker - Red Moon Pact, 'The Double' is certainly an entertaining watch. It earned the second spot in my list of best dramas of first half of 2024 just after Joy Of Life Season 2. It's captivating that I feel it ends too early. The chemistry among leads is the best thing in there and plot itself is quite intriguing.
Why did the XFF marry SYR and become part of his awful family?
He wasn't like that when he was preparing for the exam and was in his hometown. But who can predict what will a person do in future or if he will change or not. It's only at the times of hard situations when we can truly know a person.
Same case is with Xue Fang Fei and Shen Yu Rong. When they were in their hometown, they were said to be ideal couple and even in capital too. But since when Shen Yu Rong become official in court and encountered the princess, everything started to change.
Princess become obsessed with him and he slowly started to crave power but it was subtle. Or I should say he was manipulative enough to make others believe that he only wants to be a good official, including himself. It's not explained that from when he started to have affair with Princess but it all started before Xue Fangfei's murder. It's true Princess set her up and Shen Yu Rong did not know about it. But still he is no innocent because he never intended to stand by his wife, instead he buried her alive and established himself as the true dedicative husband in the front of world.
Who is the father of Ye Shi Jie? Is it mentioned in the drama anywhere? I may have missed it. I'm so confused…
Thank you for your explanation!
Didn't Chinese Government ban this first cousin fall in love troupe already, how come this drama passed the censorship with this plot?
From what I have seen in LYF and JOL they had to change the relationship by making one of siblings adopted so that their children can't be considered as blood related.
However this exactly plot of first cousins' marriage I have seen in SOKP where the emperor married his first cousin. And also in TLP where the ML was engaged with his first cousin but he didn't marry her.

I wish someone would throw a vase at the princess's head every time she starts dancing or spinning like an idiot…
Uhmm.. Ngl when I started this drama I thought she is gonna be a scheming and exciting villian who plots and is very far-sighted, ambitious to achieve her goal and ultimately involve herself in power struggle. But it turns out she is just an obsessed lady who is quite spoiled and only know to take advantage of her power of position.

Now I'm sure I was not wrong about him.. he can kill anyone to save himself
I'm still salty about it... Can this director not give us a single scene..
