Did Chen Fei Yu dub himself? If so he has a very deep voice haha. Do yall recommend this drama? I heard it’s an adaptation so how is it compared to the original
Hahaha they merged his lines from different scenes in the novel here. I will say he was more teasing/sarcastic…
Glad you know what I meant haha! For those who didn’t read the novel, it honestly doesn’t matter because who doesn’t love an expressive and gentle man? I appreciate this slight change too, but am so used to his more teasing responses and subtle gestures of affection
in the novel - he is already a kept man 7 years later - he has the childcare duties (willingly)
Yes! I loved how they challenged gender norms of that era - HY would teach their daughter swordsmanship and things and XJ would take care of what their daughter ate, wore etc
In the novel, the Emperor granted their marriage and also promoting He Yan to Marquis at the same time
I guess they made this change so that CZ can try to get a marriage decree for him and HY resulting in getting punched by XJ (guessing this based on the drama trailer)
I have a bad habit of shutting my brain during sub plots so I few things I wanna askIs Chu Zhao loyal to his master…
I cannot speak for the drama as it seems like they have changed his character’s trajectory compared to the novel. In the novel, he only focused on himself and his own interest/safety (therefore needing power to protect himself). He had a rough childhood and not the best relationship with his own mom, so grew up to be the way he was. He was not loyal to anyone.
He was in love with HY tho but never became delusional as he always knew where her heart lied. He did jokingly try but focused on his goals more (in a way he knew his path was always in darkness, and hers is light)
There have been hints of CZ going down this route in a few episodes
Yeah that’s exactly what I meant haha it doesn’t make any sense, they degraded him to such a character (I really dislike these tropes). It’s fine to make changes in an adaptation but it has to make sense
Random comment: Xiao Jue is stiff, not ML quality.Xiao Jue: Now the moon belongs to you.In my life, the only person…
Hahaha they merged his lines from different scenes in the novel here. I will say he was more teasing/sarcastic in the novel (although still loving) so still feel taken aback by how much of a softie his character was shown here
They make CZ a lovesick and delusional character. In the novel he is rather more calculating and manipulative…
Preferred him in the novel - he is now a one dimensional romantic plot device - I would rather spend that time on the main plot and character development

Ugh why do they have to drag on an unnecessary love triangle lol, it wasn’t like this in the original. Disappointed with the direction they took with his character, he had a lot of potential. I want to see more of him and his other goals/motives which were always his priority in the novel.
