I have to say I’m not much of a historical/fantasy, people flying everywhere kind of drama watcher but this has me at a choke hold. I appreciate the pacing of this storyline. For me there are no fillers episodes because this story feels normal, like everyday happening. Supporting characters don’t just disappear or become irrelevant. They all have a backstory, history of their life even briefly uttered in a sentence. Yu Sheng, Li Fei Bai, Gong ShuYang, Lv Sheng, Lu Chang Fu, Yuan Fang, Duke Hua and many others. Even Consort Dowager’s hometown is from Lingan, a place Qin Cang came from tells you there is a connection. Director and screenwriter don’t let us down. 🤲🏼
My heart says either Duke Hua is a secret enemy, or he is going to die (if he is a good person).
I think he is on the good side. He was the one who petitioned MXY to get out of prison and he seems to be neutral in the court, not supporting any faction
I am tempted to start taking care of a stone too..had to give up on my succulents. ><
Agreed succulents are not easy. When I saw the flower blooming in the stone, I chuckled because I was reminded that what Ah Yao said back in episode 4🤭
Not an act rather a coping mechanism after all the trauma she had to endure
I am sure she will because she has to get through her checklist of all the things she has to accomplish. She has two more grass dolls to eliminate. She has to heal in order to move on to things like love, family, community things etc
But honestly this is the first time I have a seen a drama portraying mental illness with a main character.
And also consistency as in the character. She doesn’t get love-brain that she accidentally forgot she has an illness. It shows when she is happy, unhappy, stress, depressed, her illness manifests itself. Bai Lu plays her character well.
whats li fei bai aka shawn zhang's role? is he aqcuainted with FL or not? I see him intercepting maybe the message…
He is from Lishan and her senior sent down to work for the Ye’s family three yrs ago. After they completed the task, he moved out and is currently living in a entertainment residence
I will say this again. Lack of over dramatic music, able to hear even breathing sounds, accessories etc, gave…
That’s why I love live recording. It feels more organic and authentic This director is known for one-on-one interactions and intimate conversations. She is an expert and you are right about us as viewers feels like we are interrupting lol
Guys, got a question, prince Ding, did he inherit his title from his dad or brother? When did his father die?…
His father is the brother of the late Emperor and it wasn’t shown how he died. MXY went to prison for half a year because he was under the tutelage of Duke Hua and not beheaded like his own brother
who is the 2nd person she eliminated? I think i missed it.
The person who murder her mother. On episode 16, 9:54mins mark, she untangled the 2nd grass doll. The first was after Lu Chang Fu was set ablaze for the seven disciplines of lishan
When Ah Li came down the mountain, she had a pigeon, 4 grass dolls and an imaginary confidant. Now at episode 17, she has “eliminated” 2 of the grass dolls. The happiness that she is currently experiencing with her husband is sweet because it seems the angst are coming
How is the drama going so far?? Is it worth it?? I mean it's cheng li and bailu i know it would be good but if…
100% worthy of a watch. I saw a few edits and drama reviewer posts, decided to give it a try and the last few days had been glued to it. These kind of stories had been done to death and will continue because of the way the director narrates this drama. I truly trust the script and direction. She did deliver on one of my all time favorites, TMofPB and LnD.
Thank you for bringing this topic on MDL. I love a good romcom but sometimes it can be exhausting with many tropey stories. Finding underrated gems in slice of life dramas or films are difficult. Looking forward to this discussion section.
