The pilot was really good. Seems like a show full of substance and heart.

you should read the comment in this thread. the Emperor knows exactly who did it and he believes that Peiyi can solve it, but his hands are tied because he can't get personally involved. he's counting on her, which is unfair but that's politics for you 🤷🏾‍♀️

I don't speak Chinese, so subtitles are just a normal part of life for me haha.

But I'm sorry about your ear problems, hopefully you're watching something else that you're enjoying more.

WXY does most of his acting through his eyes, so if you don't catch the micro expressions you might mistakenly think he's doing nothing. It's very subtle but he's doing a TON of work, and I'd argue it's harder to convey emotion through eyes than make it big and obvious.

If you're on Reddit, the daily episode recaps often discuss his micro expressions and what he's conveying in each scene. You might find it helpful.

right!? I had to giggle, he looked so happy running after her.

His confession was so sweet! I really love how he's so reserved but also so full of feeling!! I replayed that scene I think 3 times.

I just started this and it's so good. A lot of the reviews I saw were people disappointed, but I'm on episode 6 and the first 5 episodes are so well done and the story is captivating. I really hope I won't end up bored with it the way other commenters seem to be. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 so far I'm totally hooked.

you were so right about ep 26. 😂😂 I was hoping you'd be wrong but I can't even finish this episode lol, so over the top and unnecessary.

I haven't finished yet (on ep 26 right now) but I feel that the FL wasn't angry at him.

I read someone's comment that explained that her parents have a history of making responsible for their own happiness, forcing her to give up on her dreams for them. So in that kind of dynamic, it makes sense she'd break up with Zhiyu to make her parents happy, even though she loves him. But she never treats him as guilty. She's just upset he's been keeping secrets.

But the tone of the last few episodes is very different from the rest of the show, and I agree that it feels like a letdown. I think it would have been better to eliminate this whole stadium arc because it's a weak point in an otherwise super strong show.

Have to admit, I'm not a fan of the writers choosing to use the stadium accident as the main source of tension for the final arc. I can't take anything to do with this arc seriously because it seems kind of dumb for anyone to blame a child for something that happened with their parents.

Be shocked? Be thrown off guard? Makes sense. But actual blame/anger is just a bit too melodramatic for me, which kind of ruins the whole 'realistic, mature, everyday kind of love' that I felt the show had been so great at establishing.

This drama taught me not to make hasty judgements because I disliked the whole accident/ghosting plotline and felt like it was relying on cheap tropes. But after finishing, I actually get where Jin Zhao was coming from and it makes total sense for his character. So glad I stuck with it and didn't rely on my initial reaction.

Huh? where did I say I dropped it? I'm actually watching episode 22 now. I really don't like people who think like you because as soon as someone says they're bored then the response is "dOn'T wAtCh iT tHeN". As if we're not allowed to criticize anything, and we must only watch things we love 100% and never have anything negative to say about.

be gone, bad faith commentor. pooh pooh.

I've been stuck on episode 17 for days now and I don't want to move forward because the show has been getting boring. It was fun watching them get together but there's been little character growth in the past 3 episodes, and the body swapping isn't as interesting as I thought it would be...

The first 14 episodes had me CONVINCED this was going to be my new favourite xianxia, but now I'm feeling pretty meh about it. :((

so he broke up with her, ghosted her AND stole her dog????? oh hell no. get me off this ride - I'm done!

this one is just not for me. I tried to like it but I'm bored even at 2X. Made it up to episode 23, but I think I only really enjoyed like 10 episodes in total. Cute and I'm glad others enjoy it, but completely forgettable for me and I don't think I'll be finishing.

me too!! I actually felt bad for them, I would have wanted to see him and Xiyang continue their story.

we can agree to disagree. I think it's poor writing, which tracks considering the poor writing has affected other parts of the story (as so many other commenters including myself have pointed out.) if the rest of the story was as well thought out as your comments are, I would agree with you. but unfortunately, I think you're more thoughtful than the writers themselves...

hmm that's an interesting point. was it a mistake to bring the physical book into the past? I don't know. I can believe that it did exist, but him "creating" it meant it can't exist twice, so the future one had to be erased. if he hadn't done that, it would still exist but I doubt she could use it go back anyway. it always seemed like a one-way ticket.

he cannot be both! he's either very consistent and careful, or he's childish and mercurial. the writers choose which one he is depending on the scene. that's bad writing.

and that's my point. someone like that would not be capable of strategizing on the kind of mission that the writers are making him lead. that's my entire point! on one hand, he's too childish to be consistent. but on the other hand, he's so organized and calculating that he's making real progress at uncovering a plot that's been secret for like 20 years. those two things cannot exist in the same person at the same time.
