Off the top of my head in LYF: She was tortured by her cousin with those bugs - that still disturbs me Beaten and mouth stuffed when she was in the palace Thrown into the ocean from high altitude Blood sucked out of her
That’s tough. Here’s a few with strong female but not the same:1. A journey to love - focus is in the journey…
I still revisit Journey To “heaven” ‘s discussion thread every so ofte. Still loving it regardless of the crash ending.
My fav genre is a GOOD well told story. Hahaha..
By the way, maybe check out Flourishing Peony since it has a strong Fl. However, it’s gonna be a bit angsty like the other Yang Zi costume drama (Lost You Forever).
Man, oh man, 2ML... you shady dude. When ML asked him point blank if anything else was suspect and he went 'nope'…
My jaw dropped too! I think he made a comment in his convo with his subordinate earlier when he realized what she had. But had this look like maybe he doesn’t want to reveal it since the relationship would become a dead end anyways. At this point, I feel that he’s kinda devoid of emotions and is trying to figure out what he’s experiencing. And is starting to show some dark traits.
Ending of ep 3 - Are we trying to draw an analogy to the peony plant’s strength, emerging strong after enduring harsh conditions (cold winters)? Feels so abrupt.
I too loved Blossom. I’ve checked out Dafeng, Moonlight, life is a choice, and this one. I’d say I’ve found…
Ok, I just checked out 3 eps of flourishing peony. It feels like it’s going to be angsty. If I were to rank my taste: peony>blossoming>moonlight/dafeng. Well maybe moonlight is slight better than dafeng. I dunno, the princess in dafeng is dragging the drama down.
Wow - miles Wei is doing such a fine job as LC, her husband.
I also love the beautiful peony themed dishes served at the banquet. So many exquisite details for the eye’s feast.
A note on peonies from a peony lover (me):
- firstly, I can totally relate to the scene where she rushed out to save her peony plants from the rain! I have many à times gone out in the middle of the night in the rain to care for my peonies. The flowers are gorgeous but get destroyed by too much rain. The water weights down the flowers and too much rain will cause cause them to go bad too soon.
- peonies do not like to be moved during blooming season. There’s no way to have saved them after such a traumatic move. Not only will the flowers not recover but the branches would have withered and no more blooms until the next year.
After the Blossom I am once again in a cdrama drought...None of the ongoing dramas rn seems to have grasped my…
I too loved Blossom. I’ve checked out Dafeng, Moonlight, life is a choice, and this one. I’d say I’ve found this one most interesting overall. It’s the one that I look forward to following most. I may check out Peony though since the director directed some of my favorite dramas.
The amount of comments just thirsting over the SML is crazy to me, they don't even give reasons as to want him…
Here are a few:
Hot Smart Devoted to Fl- even as he wonders whether she’s that girl from his past Devoted to the main male lead (at least at this point) - even though he likes the Fl Interesting mysterious character - does not get caught up in the pretentious good vs evil stage
Haven’t started yet but this cast has a lot of familiar faces that I like! The director is quite young and has directed pretty good dramas including some tear jerkers . I remember bawling while watching Go Ahead.
So, when she went back, can someone explain her choices and convo with the ai? I couldn’t read the Chinese on th screen hat she made selections of at the beach.
wonderful story; light in its delivery but entertaining - lots of dramatics but nothing unbearable - and VERY…
Excellently put. Is a focused storyline with ‘ no overly dramatic melodrama for the sake of drama’
I’ve moved onto the big production dramas currently airing and they are full of the nonsensical behaviors and actions for the sake of being “cool”, over dramatic, etc. This drama is one of the few special ones with no agendas nor motivations other than telling a good story.

Historians generally regard the Tang as a high point in Chinese civilisation, and a golden age of cosmopolitan culture.
