ML has an official wife plus 9 additional concubines 🥴 More than the ML in The Sword and the Brocade. Lol. There is no chemistry between the leads. I'm up to ep 10. Hope I'll be able to finish the series without giving up.

I've only seen her in a supporting villain role. I agree she's not a leading lady type.

I'm in U.S. and it's not available on WeTv (Tencent). If you're still looking for it, Viki and YouTube have it.

WM is a scumbag for sure. The one scene that made me hate him the most was when Guo Guo fell down at the mall trying to run after him and his mistress. He had the nerve to say to LS she was a bad mother for letting their daughter get hurt when he was literally the main cause. His narcissism was scary.

lol, me, too! If I had in-laws like that I would be the one filing for divorce 😂

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I am sticking to mine. I wouldn't jump on someone's comment and say they're wrong just because I don't agree with their perspective. An actor or actress may be talented but that doesn't mean every role is right for them. We all have our biases when it comes to movies or series...maybe it's the genre we don't like, or the filming style...or maybe the leads. But thanks for stopping by.

I agree her immaturity is annoying. I'm on ep 4 and contemplating whether or not I want to continue. It took several days to get to ep 4 because it's so boring for me. This is probably unpopular opinion, but Irene Song is not the right choice for an Idol drama as a leading lady. IMO she doesn't have the looks.

I was hoping she was going to change when her parents ran away with Man'er's money. lol. Wishful thinking.

I'm only on ep 18. So far he is a good guy. Hope Hua'er doesn't turn him into a bad guy. Seems like he content being where he is but Hua'er is greedy and wants prestige. It seems she's back to her evil scheming ways.

Good read into the pastry conversation between Lu Zhi and Turtle. Looking back, I can see how their two views on this subject ultimately shape the people they became. From ep 1 to maybe around ep 6 or 7, I suspected Mr. Song the most. The reveal at the end I really didn't see coming at all but it makes sense to me. Magistrate Wei looks like Turtle and it's believable that Turtle would want justice for Lu Buyou and his family. Buyou saved his life and the gold he took (from Mr. Zhong's stash) afforded him the education and changed his life. I am still a bit bothered by the fact that Sangeng never found out that it was his master who killed his father. This man should not live in Sangeng's head or heart as his good mentor.

I don't understand why it was never revealed to Sangeng that it was his master that killed his father. They always thought Sangeng's dad died trying to rescue the Lu family in the fire. In the end, he made the right decision to help Magistrate Wei and Mr. Song.

Just when you think the truth has been revealed in ep 11, comes episode 12 with a surprising bomb I never saw coming. Well done 👏. I'm not into a murder mystery but I really enjoyed watching this one.

Sangeng still wants to avenge his master's death. The condition he gave Mr. Xue was he would tell him the name of the killer if Mr. Xue agrees to kill the killer for him. So Sangeng is trying to kill two birds with one stone, per se. We'll see how all of this is going to unfold in the last episode. I have to admit Magistrate Wei was not on my radar as a suspect.

I'm only on ep 3. No romance so far. I don't think there will be any 🤷🏻‍♀️. It's a dark, serious murder investigation. It is one of those dramas where you really have to pay attention so you don't get lost on the plot and who's who.

Agree with stepmom's acting. She adds an extra thick layer of cringe.

They're not done filming. Probably some time next year, 2024. There's a short trailer with what they've already filmed. My guess is they're anxious to get this out.

He's taking over Xiao Zhan's role in JOL 2 and they were together in Sunshine By My Side. Interesting.

Zhang and her husband are some what to blame because they are pushovers and they allow the parents to take advantage of them. What makes my blood boil is the fact that the parents make everyone compromise all for the sake of the 1st son, who is really a loser. Giving them all the family's money just for a chance at a measly job and the rest of the family goes hungry. Seems so crazy to me.

Granny is the most stressful character for me. That lady goes bat sh*t crazy whenever a family member wants eggs or meat 😂 Who treats their family like that. A good matriarch feeds and supports all her children and grandchildren but she acts like everyone owes her. Her behavior grosses me out.

Yep, soooo frustrating watching this toxic family. Man'er's dad needs a spine. I get respecting your elders and familial piety but when they're toxic, you should cut them out. Grandpa is actually not a bad guy but he makes biased decisions for the unsuccessful oldest son, Shouren. I can't believe they give their entire fortune year in and year out to support Shouren's family. I can't wait for Hua'er to marry into that Song family and suffer. I think they're crooks. It was satisfying when Maner beat up Huaer. lol.
