Solid first 2 episodes . Concept is new. But I am quite confused about young FL's confession about the wang family…
She didn't do it in the past (I'm pretty sure) because she arrived too late and her mother was already dying from the beating. But because the other her (our FL) interrupted it this time and her mother was still alive when she arrived, the conversation with her evil stepmother and father went differently. She "confessed" to try and throw suspicion onto the Wangs alone and remove her mother from both them and the accusations.
Disney in the US. I’m in Canada and it’s on viki only
I thought surely you would be wrong, lol, because EVERY time I hear a k-drama or c-drama is on Disney, it never is for me, but MIGHT be on Hulu. So I checked Hulu first, and nothing, but lo and behold, this one IS in fact on Disney! Guess that sub isn't a complete waste of money for me after all. (I keep it for my three year old niece, all of my subs these days are for asian drama apps, lol.)
What the...I waited until I thought a decent number of episodes were out for this, but...it appears not to be airing yet in the US?? Is that true? Not on wetv/tencent, "coming soon" to Viki...usually the major fantasy c-dramas like this air, so I'm shocked! Where are people watching it?
You guys, the way they foreshadowed him losing all of his memories of her! Guess that torture scene from the trailers is gonna be real. 😂 I am both excited for Prince Annan’s return and nervous for our girl as to how bad things will get before they get better again.
Also, WOW show, way to make me cry today with Qiao’s death. 😭
I am praying some production team out there sees their chemistry in this and decides to definitely cast them together in a modern drama. I need them in another drama together, and that bit at the end, while it served its purpose, also teased us with what could have been.
WOW. This is my favorite historical or fantasy c-drama this year after Prisoner of Beauty. The chemistry of the leads, the acting together - just like PoB, was absolutely 11/10 here. The way Arthur Chen looks at her. The way they do the small, real gestures together that feel so natural they could be ad libs between the actors (like her kissing his hand when he cups her face). Despite never being really explicit with the kissing scenes, EVERYTHING about those interactions - or even the intimate scenes when they don't kiss - is so sensual and deeply emotional. You absolutely believe watching this that they love each other across lifetimes. Another pair of actors might have made some of these scenes feel melodramatic or cheesy, but these two absolutely sold it so completely, I cried more than once.
I am SO sad they shortened this drama from 40 episodes down to 33. Was the modern world at the end originally multiple episodes long? I wish we had that. I would 1000% have watched them fall in love again. BUT even with the ending what it was, it was more than most "travel to another world" dramas give us (STILL BITTER about Love Game in Eastern Fantasy, ya'll!) I felt we got the definite implication at the end that they each remember one another, and that the "dream" she had might have indeed been something real they both experienced.
But I still would pay real money to see their story unfold again in the modern world. I'm so sad we'll never get it.
This drama must be getting more popular because the Negative Nancy's all feel like they need to come here suddenly just to say they don't like it. I've never understood that. Just move on to something else. No one enjoying this drama cares about your opinion, and if you don't like it, why waste your time to come here just to say that. Go watch something that catches your interest. 🤷🏻♀️
Now, I am LOVING Darren Chen's character. He's interesting, like a bad*** who has also lived so isolated he'd never seen fireworks before? Clearly enamored with our pretty healer, and I'm sooooo ready for her to move on from her crush to someone who will appreciate her.
Who else is NOT looking forward to the next couple of episodes with the Crown Prince playing a heavier role? I always knew it was going to happen eventually because he's "the childhood sweetheart", but I feel like we really don't need it and it's just an excuse to stretch out the story longer before our Prince Annan regains his memories. Unless the Crown Prince storyline somehow leads to that, who knows?
Anyway, still loving this drama. Love our lead couple. The more it goes on the more obsessed I am with Cheng Lei. He just looks so good in this and he's really getting a chance to show is range instead of being all cold and aloof all of the time. OTOH, I am SOOOOO ready for cold and domineering Prince Annan to come back and SO curious how that is going to play out. I'm guessing he won't remember her at first and that is what leads to the "enemies" phase. CANNOT. WAIT.
3rd Cdramas where they introduce the best character in half first ep then it's gone 😅 checking comments to…
I don't know if I'm understanding this comment. Are you saying the Prince is the best character and you're sad the ML "becomes someone else" in the first ep? Well, the Prince is coming back and it's going to be epic when he does. Also, they've already changed things from the novel. IDK, but I'm really enjoying the show. YMMV.
I guess what it means is there should've only been Xuan Yi Ke initially, but since he met and was taken under…
Exactly! IDK man, I'm here for it. I'm ready to see Prince Annan in all of his "enemy warrior prince" glory and the angst of her remembering Jin An and their bond while he doesn't...and then finally the merging of his different personas when he gets his memories back.
I hope Darren Chen's character is for Lu Xin, I really like her and don't think Ji Ran deserves her. Also, finding…
I'm like 99% certain he is after watching the trailers for the next eps! Her telling Ji Ran she's going to find another man, a great man, and then he'll be sad he missed out on her, all while our new doctor character is listening and looking very interested in our adorable healer.
Forget what I said NO ONE tops Ji Ran for the most irritating character. I despise 3 types of characters in subordinate…
Don't worry, looks like a new character is coming in to be a love interest for our lovely healer so she can move on emotionally from this jerk. Maybe we'll see less of Ji Ran after, ha.
Episode 12 Differently how lowkey was their Prince that they held him captive but no one recognized him
I thought the same thing! But then remember how he wore a mask in the little bit we saw him in the beginning. Maybe very few of the military ever saw his whole face.
Also, WOW show, way to make me cry today with Qiao’s death. 😭
