Song Yan's audacity to show up on the wedding day and apparently expect she'd become his concubine is truly something. If there's anyone that can't let go, it's pretty clear that he is that person. How is his suggestion supposed to be better? lol That said, is it just me, or his face looks weird at times?
The ML buying the pin back for her was sweet. And his reaction when he hears that the money for his essay was enough to last for a year was hilarious. But, sooner or later, someone is bound to notice that bird, especially with it making so much noise, when it comes to him.
The interactions and the differences in perspectives between the FL and ML are very entertaining and hillarious. It's very clear from the get go that his life had to be very different from hers. Her "big" dreams don't seem all that big to him, and even the food attitudes are very different. Then again, I can't blame the guy for not being too keen on intestines - eating offal is nothing weird for me, but intestines might be a little bit too much, especially if someone was to tell me that some like then less clean for more taste.
I guess we are going to learn that soon enough but with the scenes at the court, I'm wondering which faction is the ML's ally and which is his enemy. Unless they're both against him for different reasons lol
And the whole scene with the memorial tablet for Marquis Wu'an was quite entertaining too. She made a memorial tablet for him, only to change it into a memorial tablet for him, too lol And I'm still convinced there has to be a story connected to her father somewhere in there if he was his supporter.
"If you stay, I'll feed you by butchering pigs" - aww.
Though I think he was actually more impressed by the way she kicked the butts of the guys her uncle brought lol For a moment there, when they talked about their parents, I thought it'd turn out that there's some kind of history between his family and her father, or that he at least heard about her father somewhere. I still think there might be something there, the guy wouldn't know such moves out of nowhere.
I only watched the first episode so far, but the start is very promising and I'm really curious how it is going to develop. And it's very interesting that usually, I find the female leads pretty annoying at the start but for the second time I'm seeing Tian Xiwei's FL, I don't actually feel that way about her character and find her entertaining more than annoying, and that's always great.
I just finished watching this drama and I’m really unsure what to think about it. I really enjoyed it for the most part but at the same time, there were moments and plots that I found really tiring.
Most of the time, I’ve been waiting for Dou Zhao to tell Song Mo the full truth about how she knows things. I expected it would be a moment that shows their relationship’s strength and everything. Not that they didn’t show it in different ways, but still.
I’m not sure what exhausted me more - the Dou family drama, or the Song family drama. Next to the whole big conspiracy, they gave a lot of screentime to these things and while I’m not saying they weren’t important, there were some plots that I wished would get more chance to shine.
That said, Dou Zhao’s father finally growing some backbone and choosing to side with Dou Zhao, leaving the choice of who she is going to marry to her was something I really enjoyed. And the scene with half the town showing up with geese to propose marriage was hilarious.I liked the contrast between his “redemption” of sorts and Song Mo’s father, his choices and actions.
On the flip side, I really didn’t enjoy Song Han’s plot, and his marriage to Miao Ansu. I wish they limited the screentime for this relationship and instead, showed more scenes for Chen Jia and the cousin. And, at the end, when Song Han was finally gone and we saw Miao Ansu being bombarded with marriage candidates, I was kind of hoping for Wu Shan to show up. As one of the few nice guys in this drama, he really deserved more (though, it may be just my bias towards Quan Yilun speaking lol).
Now, for the whole big conspiracy, treason and support for Prince Qing plot… I found it interesting at the start but then, it started to tire me. The more we knew about the whole picture, the more it felt like it was dragging. The highlight for me was probably the reveal that Ji Yong has been a double agent.
Definitely a good drama but I would have enjoyed it a lot more with fewer incredibly annoying characters and a bit more dynamics to some of the plots.
I finally caught up and aww, that was such a cute ending.
I started this knowing nothing about the plot, having never watched the animated version or the previous drama. I fully expected this to be a silly little thing and while it certainly had its silliness, it actually had so much more than that.
I'm surprised by how many people they actually ended up killing - some unexpected, some kinda expected. When it was revealed that Xiahou Dan that Prince Duan showed to everyone to convince them that he died, I had no doubts it had to be the Bei guy, and I think he was the one whose death made me the most sad T__T
I originally didn't have much expectations, decided to give it a try because of Cheng Lei, and I ended up enjoying it way more than I thought I would. Such a nice surprise!
As happy as I am to see the witch finally gone, the Empress Dowager's death was so... underwhelming T__T I hope that at least Prince Duan's end is going to be more satisfying.
When she brought the physician with her, I was hoping he would actually find a way to heal the Cen guy. I guess prolonging his life is something but eh, he's gonna be another character that dies, isn't he?
And ooh, the teasers for the next episodes! Doesn't the voice of the woman in white caught in the net belong to Xie Yonger rather than Yu Wanyin, though? And the letter... I already can't wait for that.
He couldn’t kill her; or Prince villain would say the Yan ppl did it and they could have peace talks. He’ll…
Yeah, I know, plus it wouldn't be quite the same when it comes to revenge. She made him suffer for so many years, so it's only natural he wants her to suffer, too. I still want to see her dead lol
Damn, I was hoping we would finally be rid of Empress Dowager. I guess you could say she is half gone, not quite as annoying when she's not able to speak or move on her own, but I'd still prefer for her to have stayed in that tomb.
And just what is so bad about telling Yu Wanyin the truth about how he knows all these things. I'm guessing it's supposed to make her angry with him when she finds out later so that there's drama in a relationship but seriously, there's only so many episodes left, she has to find out sooner rather than later.
I kinda can't wait to see Prince Duan's reaction when he finds out that the warrior he has been looking for this entire time is the woman that hangs around the Emperor all the time lol
She suspects Xiaohou Dan, I'm pretty sure it's her maid that is leaking things to Prince Duan, even if it may be limited amount of info. I may be wrong but with her so stuck on the idea that Yu Wanyin has feelings for her, and the scene where they walk just where the guy appears moments later, it just feels this way to me.
I find it funny that she thinks his lack of knowledge in economy gives him away - is it really so uncommon for people in charge of companies, to have no clue how to run a business, so they would just drown if they didn't have others help out? Not that she was wrong, apparently, but it doesn't seem like that good of an explanation to me lol
And was he there for such a long time that he remembers having been taught to write characters? Interesting, that would mean that he was actually the cruel, uninterested person that everyone remembers,. Although, I can imagine lack of interest if he was just waiting for someone to appear and end the whole thing so he can go back to living his life, plus the headaches.
I came here, fully expecting something silly and light, and while it certainly is that, it's quite interesting too. Looking forward to next episodes.
You always have to take synopsis with a grain of salt. I mean it’s the same on the channel as well or the app…
Obviously, when it comes to synopsis, but it just feels like a synopsis to a completely different title if it wasn't for the names. I've decided to give it until episode 10 and see if it picks up; I figure beginnings can be slow but by the time I'm a third into a drama, I should be hooked on something, be it cases, personal plots, or anything else. Worst case scenario, it just isn't for me and I'll dip.
I'm still unsure how to feel about this drama. A part of me feels like I was lied to, when the synopsis talks about difficult, complex cases. How are they unusual, how are they complex? They're barely there most of the time...
The only thing I'm sure about is that I'm so sick of this love triangle, especially when it's taking around half of the episode. The friend is just delusional and pathetic, saying she can wait - childhood friends or not, but if someone was acting this way towards me, I'd have cut contact with them by that point. Just get the darn message.
That said, when we FINALLY get to the case, I find it funny that they clearly had characters written on the walls in what I assume is the victim's blood and then they go and blur them. What's the point of this message then? And then, when they show a picture of the victim, her clothes soaked in blood, it's fine. They have very funny standards of what is ok to be shown and what is not lol
So they're flipping the script on who's good and interesting who's evil?
It looks this way, although I suspect the perception of who was good and who was evil in the novel might have been a bit inaccurate and biased based on the perspective of who was the FL in the novel. That's the vibe I am personally getting based on some of the remarks etc.
