Just started, how's romance? Are they together or at least like each other? I know it'll be a lot of suffering.…
This is more a revenge/strategy/melodrama, not a sweet romance. The romantic tension is there, and I can tell they have feelings for each other, but there is a lot of family baggage/drama and obstacles to them really being ready to be in love. By end of ep 19, they have come together in a contractual marriage, so we'll see how things develop from there.
oh god i just visited weibo for once and don't want to say anything 😵Even though i like both Li Qin and Deng…
Best to stay away from weibo for one's mental health lol. Or any similar site online. Fans making war is always to me a complete waste of one's energy and a drain on humanity. It's horrible when the artists are dragged into it. I just want to watch great dramas, and I wish the best to any actress, actor, director, etc.
Yes, agree, it's rare for me to rewatch dramas. It's a testament to the acting and attention to detail from all the crew that a second watch would still be super interesting.
Have they found the actress who will play the female lead yet?
I think with this production being more high profile, it may be better to announce things beforehand lol because you're right, the Chinese internet has been a bit crazy town with all the rumored female lead possibilities. I wonder what the benefits are to keeping everything so secret?
Can someone please tell me if this drama is a slow-burn romance or a typical romance before I decide to watch…
It's not a slow-burn per se because the leads do develop feelings for each other earlier on, and they love only each other throughout the show, but there are obstacles to them being together. Really nicely developed romance as well as master-disciple story and story of growth and healing.
I’m happy with any actress who is serious about the role and working with the whole team. And who of course can pull of the role of Fengyue.
