Ridiculously silly. My guilty pleasure of the year. I love it 😁👏💞.

Sun Zhenni is the FL. Ai Mi is support.

They have. The number was up around 370.

Thank you

Time to begin a new journey. Happy watching ✌️.

Excellent finds. Such an enchanting little commercial. They look amazing.

My prayers are answered. I can't wait. I just need that next step forward.

Lol. This actually made me laugh. It's so true.

Can't comment on POJ. But much like KTTPH, it's refreshing to see couples in a drama form a strong bond and unbreakable trust. I hate that stupid love, hate, love, hate trash so many dramas employ as a make-up / break-up fan-service. In both TRTS and KTTPH they actually communicate with each other and solve problems together. It makes the show so much more enjoyable, and you look forward to them growing closer each episode. Individual character growth paired with relationship growth is always a winner.

PS... TRTS isn't finished yet, so I hope I didn't jinx it 🙏.

That marriage can't come quickly enough. Hopefully it comes in the 20s 🤞.

Do we finally have some Deng Wei wirework 🗡️... Graceful descent 🦅🎭...

It's been like a movie set. Hardly anything leaking out.

The styling in GJM dramas is always next level.

Lovely 👌

100%. Some dramas don't have enough content to fill a large episode count and should be shortened. Others need more time. TSOPG easily could've been two seasons. I felt the transition from wild frontier space to the day-to-day life and politics of the big city threw people off. The pearl diving frontier aspect was fresh and exciting and the urban business building phase was all very familiar. Not to mention, there were very few endearing moments between the leads due to time constraints. I think viewers felt short-changed. "Eternal Love" had 58 episodes and it did it easy. And the crime epic "The Knockout" was 39 episodes, really long for a crime drama. Once again, it effortlessly filled those 39. You just want the episode count to match the content, like you said. You don't want filler and you equally don't want shortcuts. I tend to find the more a long-form drama feels like an extended movie. The more I enjoy it.

Absolutely brilliant so far. My one gripe is that I wish they would let us savour precious little moments a bit longer before moving on with the cutthroat politics and Machiavellian games.

Just finished 19. Amazing. Yes, I think the main issue is front-loading. TPOB was so in-depth and well written for the first half. It was probably the best political marriage drama I've seen. Perfectly balancing the personal and emotional aspects of marriage with the high-stakes political components that need to succeed for the sake of peace and prosperity. I wish they stayed in that space. Unfortunately, when you write one aspect in such detail, you often run out of time to afford the courtesy to other areas. There were too many back-half shortcuts and the antagonists were some of the most poorly written I have ever encountered. There are cartoons with better constructed villains. Lol.

This has been so good for 18 episodes. I'm praying 🙏 it carries it through to the end. I see TPOB up there in the recommendations. It's the drama that reminds me that no matter how good the first half of drama, there's still plenty of time to stuff it up.

Ai Mi and Li Yunrui for Dior 💞...

You basically have to pause right after the kiss if you want to live in the moment for a bit. After that, the scheming to tear them apart starts up again.
