One super random thing that I truly appreciate this drama for are the episode teasers. The teasers shows scenes that often appears in the front half of the actual episode, and not at the end of the episode.

Too often in other dramas, teasers would show a highlight scene that only appears in the last 5-10 mins of the actual episode. That is so irritating as the point of a teaser is to interest the viewer to find out what happens next, but if the teaser scene is only going to show in the last 5-10 mins, then I now need to wait for a whole day for the continuation.

Feng Cheng Yang: So glad that there is actually a kind soul in FSG's family. From the beginning he seemed pure and simple, now that he has power, he isn't blinded by it or is naive to believe everything his mother says. Hope he doesn't disappoint in the last few episodes!

Feng Sui Ge/ Yi Xiao: Ahh this couple is amazing and their acting is top notch! The part where FSG regained his memories and Yi Xiao's tears of joy is so believable, their love is so beautiful.

Feng Xi Yang: Dang, this girl gets no sympathy from me. Stop pushing all the blame onto XJS, her ignorance knows no boundaries... Nobody forced her to betray her family, XJS even told her she can leave if she wanted to. But no, this girl thought by doing all these, it would somehow force XJS to return her feelings.

So what if she felt guilt for causing the death of Bai Gong Gong? Ultimately she chose to place her vengeance over her morals and caused a life to be taken, no point crying like it was not her own doing.

Watched till eps 31/32. Seems like the story has shifted onto the 3 Feng siblings - Feng Sui Ge, Feng Cheng Yang and Feng Xi Yang. Opinion in comment below.

The Princess really has no reason to be resentful towards XJS. From the very beginning he has made it clear that he is not interested in her but still remained respectful towards her. Her brother fought on her behalf to reject the marriage and warned her that she does not truly know XJS to do all this.

She lived a glamorous life, pampered by the Emperor and protected by her brother, but she betrayed them to run off with XJS. Just cause she feels her love is so great that it can somehow change a person.

A huge round of applause for the whole cast, from leads to supporting cast, everyone did an amazing job. A show's success is not just dependent on the leads but also the cohesiveness of the entire cast.

The story is so engaging and believable because everyone brought their A game to the table. Eps 26-27: the Emperor, Empress, Prime Minister, Murong Yao's father shows how the raw grievances stemming from their generation flows down to the next generation. I have a feeling the Second Prince (Feng Cheng Yang) is going to play a bigger role from here on.

I noticed that too! There is too much repetition of the same song and sound track/effect!
Even if the same song is used, usually other dramas will use a different variation or instrumental.

She has no logic from beginning to end... Her actions and words makes no sense

She is sheltered for sure but how does she not understand the weight of being the Princess of a country? How entitled of her to enjoy a lavish life of wealth and splendor, then throwing all responsibility out of the window so she can gallop away with her crush!

She uses her power not for the good of her people but to help the enemy to escape and prove her love for him. All while throwing the whole country into a political turmoil and breaking the hearts of her father and brother.

And he was the adorable Cui Bei in White Cat Legend and the tender-hearted demon in Love in Pavilion!

I feel so bad for the ML, he spent his whole life protecting his sister from every evil, and is willing to put his life on the line for her and this is how she repays him. Constantly teary eyed and blaming her brother for everything.

This Princess willingly throws away her country, people and brother all over a crush, all over a single random encounter which Xia Jing Shi does not even remember. The moment she said she can change him with her love, I just rolled my eyes. Seriously Princess, your love is not that great...

I really hope not cause I like his character but seeing how the script is constantly creating parallels between ML and FL, there is a strong likelihood of betrayal here.

Of the numerous female general dramas released so far this year, Li Qin is the only one that is able to firmly stand her ground as a strong and intelligent general. The way she walks, eats, speaks and carries herself makes it believable that she is someone that spend her days in army camps and battles.

Really enjoying the drama so far and it seems we are going to know who is behind the mask very soon.

Interesting premise with exquisitely crafted outfits and sets. Tian Xi Wei really came across as very cat like. The standout MVPs would be Wang Jia Yi (Liu Tai Zhen), Yi Da Sian (Mei Si) and Zhou Zhan (Xuan Hui), I always looked forward to their scenes.

Though the story is not very well paced with eps 30 to 37 feeling quite draggy then abruptly all the action happens in ep 38. Also felt that there were too much flashbacks used across the entire drama.

I have watched pretty much every adaptation of DMBJ and this has the most cohesive storyline out of all.

Did this just airdropped or did I miss something? The trailer randomly appeared on my feed and I was so surprised when it said "Airing today 20 September", like WHAT? Ok, I know how I'm spending my weekend now.

For a short length drama, the story is surprisingly cohesive from start to end. Somehow the drama is able to pack a proper and clear story within 12 mins/episode. The plot does not feel hastily put together and the relationship between the ML and FL feels genuine and not rushed. This is something that even some normal length 36-40 episode drama can't do.

Short dramas tend to be over-the-top and over-exaggerated, but that is not the case here, the plot is well thought out and the cast from leads to supporting actors did fantastic.

His outfit looks gorgeous! With the many layers, I'm sure it must have been very heavy, but Cheng Lei totally is able to carry it with style.

Now that we are at the point where Jin An has recovered his memories as Duan Ao Deng, it is clear why the scriptwriter spent many episodes showing the peaceful and happy times between Jin An and Li Shuang. It shows how their relationship has grown beyond the blood pact and their love is real and pure. These episodes are important on shaping the plot in the final 10 episodes.

Due to the bond between Jin An and Li Shuang, Duan Ao Deng's heart still feels for her even though technically he should have forgotten everything and no longer beholden by the effects of the blood pact.

I can't wait for the final few episodes!! One of my fav dramas of 2025!

Oohh! I have been loving the recent 4 episodes and it seems like the plot is charging ahead from hereon-out! Trailer for ep 30 was a total woah moment for me.

It's kind of sad seeing the part where Jin An was worried and asked did he forget something important.
