Fully agreed & love your great analysis of Rose’s love life.

Fully agreed with you. I cannot wait for Rose to dump this piece of sh*t & his monster mother to move on. It is so depressing to watch a free spirited &full of life girl to be controlled by this guy yuk.

I also love her in Royal Feast, she was brilliant.

My colleagues hug each other but it does not mean that they’re sleeping with each other. What he did to her when she went to see him the next day was worse as he deliberately provoked her by holding the annoying SML’s hand as if yeah I came to Shanghai to see you but then realised that we had nothing in common just like that so therefore I prefer to break up with you and be with this woman. The concept of different timelines is interesting but I am not quite sure about the storyline as the FL’s lives in both timelines suck and having to go through difficulties, I do think that the writers should just let her run her restaurants, be an independent woman instead of bringing back the SML in the picture where he has proposed and she is hesitating. Then, FL in both timelines celebrated each other on the marriage of FL & ML in timeline 1, then FL in timeline 1 asked the FL in Timeline 2 whether she has found her own happiness. She then replied with hesitation that so far ok, at least she is in control of her own life (I think she is staying single) and busy with work.

It is in ep 19 as a flashback. If he really loves her, he could have got off the taxi, gone to her & tell the SML to FO so that they could have a proper & mature conversation. Their argument was just stupid to begin with so the least he could do is just clear the air, apologise but no just left without a word. When she came to clarify in the middle of the series episodes 9 or 10, ML decided to break up just like that without really understanding why she was hugged by SML. I must say I have never been a fan of the actor that plays the SML.

Is it on Iqiyi, Tencent or YOUKU please.

Yep, I must say that I skipped many scenes where FL started a rebound relationship with SML ( I was like girl you just had a breakup with your long term boyfriend & jumped right into another relationship with a unattractive guy with luggage (a daughter with a former girlfriend). LOL, ML got pissed off with FL & initiated the breakup out of spite & held the hands of SFL when they were not even in a relationship yet despite her advance, you can imagine how f**ked are their future relationships for both FL with SML & ML with SFL. To add insult to the injury, in a space of 2 years after their breakup, ML &SFL got married & had a little girl together. You could clearly see their regrets for having missed each other in Timeline 2 despite their best wishes for each others.

Yes, I do not like the open ending in Timeline 2 as I think her breakup with ML was based on misunderstanding & unwillingness of each other to compromise for one another, especially when they showed the scene with ML asking the taxi driver to go back to her flat & saw that she was hugged by not so charming SML . He could have just gone back to her instead of walking away, that is not love but just throwing toys of the pram. I do think that FL’s life in Timeline 1 is not better, being stuck living a miserable under the same roof as the in-law not being to work because of social prejudice (oh your son is too young so you won’t be able to focus & do your job) and then suspecting that her husband is cheating on her. When FL said to FL in Timeline that she is happily married sounds unconvincing to me. Overall, I do like the concept of the drama and not much of the ending.

LMAOOO but true unfortunately.

Thank you so much for the details. I have not read the novel but it sounds better than what we have watched from this drama.

I thought the story was more about Amai rather than the ML. Yes, Amai seems to loose herself when it comes to the ML and I cannot see any chemistry, nor romance developed between these characters. His screen time is way too much given that there is no character development for him and we could clearly see he is just clueless emperor that was pushed to the thrown by the hard work of others. He is not even a match to his adoptive mom let alone that nasty PM.

I am so pissed now but hope Amai get her revenge a be by herself and there is no need for any romance at this point to be honest.

I thought there would be 4 more episodes to go?

Fully agreed and my blood is just boiling at the way the ML is treating her thinking that he does her a favour LOL. I’m at loss at what the writers are giving us by degrading a woman that has the strength to control her own destiny to her subservient tool, really. I really want to punch the ML in the face and my rant about Amai is why do you accept him up to now, what is there to say? Contrary to what people think Chinese women have quite a lot of power & rights much more than their Japanese or Korean peers.

I’m with you here, from the beginning I prefer Amai to end up with SML. There is no chemistry between Amai & ML. I despise the deceased emperor and I can’t understand why the writers wrote his character, his casual clothes and his drinking of alcohol.

I prefer seeing A’mai with SML.

Agreed.

I’d rather see A’mai with SML as I understand that FL falls in love with the SML in the novel.

Great summary of the episodes, thanks very much.

Thank you so much 🙏 .
