hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. the best comment! i love youuuuu! hahahahaha

just watched it. and the vibe is entirely different from the drama itself. well, idk, twas just a teaser so who knows. lol

reply's the same as below.

i dont know if we're watching the same drama. but based on THIS drama, his character was portrayed as a competent official, whether it was in the past life or the present. it was a personal choice on his part to step back in the present - in terms of power and capability (as court official), because he married the woman he truly loves and which he lost in the past, it was also to avoid power struggles within his present marriage. right?? or do i not understand the story at all.

i hope it's not rumor. im going to watch out for this

wow. as the drama wraps up till the final episode, i was able to appreciate more why things happened in such a way in the story. man burned himself to death. twas unexpectedly courageous. i give him that. overall, i love this drama.

gave me a whole new perspective on power, intentions and motivations, desires, love, and so much more. if you can't get past the villainy of the villain, or why certain characters behave in such a way, dude, you're missing a lot of things. open up that mind some more, try to delve deeper into what's implied, and go beyond what's literal. you'll find bits and pieces of incredible things to learn about life, love, and even the mundane things we usually take for granted.

i'll be missing pei wenxuan's selfless love the most. his character is the most green flag i've ever encountered. he's the kind of husband someone can only dream of. if ever there's one, that woman is certainly blessed by the universe and beyond.

I need mainland Chinese friends. lol. right now. lol.

3 more hours to go!!! waahh. the development of Li Rong's character from nonchalance to being warm and concerned is so satisfying.

everybody chill. mindset people, mindset. keep calm and don't mind the SML too much. he needs to be the villain to highlight the hero and his suffering, and the rest of the cliches we know in dramas. besides, only the 3 of them were reborn at the same time, it only makes sense he'll be the bad guy so the 2 leads can have a happy ending. right????? let's do this till the 40th episode. ok? jia you! jia you! lol.

story wise - it isn't bad. it's actually very easy to resonate with, especially those who are couples. im not complaining though. i love everyone in the drama even SRQ. i guess, if you are one of those who read the book, you might complain about the adaptation. however, you may have observed that the teleplay (like screenplay for movies) is noticeably messy. they've already wrapped this up. i think. so i guess there's no more room for improvement. :(

and that's why we have different drama genres. it is to primarily cater to various preferences. Concerning TV as a medium to tell great stories, i guess the industry stopped using film and tv as a medium for creative art forms as early as 15 years ago. if something has been made for public consumption and mainstream watching, it is bound to be influenced and motivated by income and revenue. if you want great stories, wuxia is still a stand-out genre for tv, and of course, don't forget the Cannes for films.

wow!!! i was actually wondering what's the whole point of that scene and coming here to read the comments, i became even more confused. now, i somehow understood. haven't read the novel but i also noticed this even from the earliest episodes. the adaptation wasn't so tightly sewn together. it shouldn't have been like that since twas based on a book. but i guess, creative license reigns supreme here. it doesn't matter if it was done right, but now i understand the backlash. thanks for the enlightenment. and pls continue to share your thoughts here. we need it. lol

Based on your observations stated above, IMHO, it's fair to say that the drama industry knew that themes like that (those mentioned by you) are what sells- all the time. and primarily the reason why the industry keeps churning out these types of dramas. if a drama turns out to be on a different theme and trajectory from the book, then most definitely, it was adapted in such a way to generate lots of money for investors. yes, most romance genres are written by female writers, but since it's a work of fiction their creativity is most definitely motivated also by economic factors. they wouldn't write something that wouldn't sell if they needed to keep their jobs for the long haul. right?

lord help all the women out there if a man gazes at them like zhang linghe does to jin mai on screen. still on the early eps. lotssss to catch up and the comments are on fire!!! lol.

me too. same with JOL. i have to stop halfway with JOL2 for S3. and now i have to continue this since i heard S2 is airing soon.

well, all i know, is that in my past life, im a bull-headed, arrogant aristocrat. hahahaha.

watching this is like watching my own life. lol. not the killing part though, just the bickering.

wow! i was just randomly looking for dramas of zhang ruo yun because of joy of life. i did not expect to get hooked on this drama. the theme is so close to my heart and moved me a lot of times in different episodes. i hope more people get to watch this. this is something extraordinary. im including this in the same category as Destined and Blossoms in Adversity for dramas that inspired me.

i love "the double's" community. i did not expect we'll see each other here again. hahahahaha.
