I am the only one disappointed by ep 24? I mean, I loved it. I loved that they are finally catching up to the book. I loved that DH is finally taking noticed of FJ and that FJ had finally matured a little. But i was so looking forward to the moment when FJ kicks the plant and then blames it on Migu... I believe it was her wit and shamelessness what caught DH attention in the first place. I don't understand why they changed that moment.

I am enjoying it a lot. Ep 1-8 was a cute retelling of TMOPB, but when the two dramas began to diverge in ep 9, I think this drama lives up to its predecessor

if you watched TMOPB, jump straight to ep 9, when DH goes to the MR to experience his trials and FJ follows him. Ep 1-8 is a retelling of FJ working as a maid in the palace...

They did the same for TMOPB. The novel starts after BQ jumps to kill herself from the celestial garden. Everything else is shown in flash backs through the novel. But the drama began much earlier, when BQ joined MQ, and then it comes the mortal realm and human BQ as a mortal in the Heavens.
Here it's the same. The novel starts at the wedding, and you get flashbacks of what happened before. But for the adaptation, they chose to do it in chronological order... so they began years before the novel started.

I find your comments pretty insulting. My aunt is 11 years older than my uncle. She looks quite young for her age and he looks older than he is. They have been married since she was 38 and he was 27. Before they got together, they had been friends for six years. She is now 46 and they are still very much in love. Nothing wrong with that!

I think she is super cute as a fox. She is only 14-15 right now, so I love the way she portrays her childish nature

At the moment, this is a prequel to TMOPB. The first few episodes of this drama retell the story that was told at the beginning of TMOPB; then the two dramas will drift apart, since everything that happen from the moment FJ and DH go to the human realm isn't canon; (i am talking about FJ and DH, BQ and YH story is canon).

This is so because the producers of TMOPB didn't have the rights to the Pillow Book novel, so they borrowed the characters and gave them a different plot.

FJ is acting a bit silly because she is only 14 or 15 at the moment. She is spoiled and childish, but she will grow up. She couldn't transform because she gave up her powers for three years to a demon, in return the demon lent her a fire power to save DH when he was trapped in the lotus flower.

DH doesn't know that she likes him. He doesn't know who she is and hasn't really noticed her yet. The first time DH notices her for real is thousands of years later, when she is already queen and a lot more grown up. He will fall head over heels for her when that happens...

Not at all. In fact, I think you will enjoy this drama more if you haven't watched TMPB. The two dramas are completely independent, but the plot at the beginning of the this series (and only at the beginning) is very similar to the one we see in TMPB... so it can be a bit repetitive.

I couldn't agree more. I didn't like the first episodes of TMPB at all. I actually stopped watching the drama... but then so many people talked highly about it than I gave it another chance. I began watching again once YH and BQ meet in the mortal realm and I loved it. It was only in my second watch of the drama, that I went back to watch the episodes where BQ is training in the mountain. I liked them this time more because I was already invested in the characters and knew their fates.

PB is just starting. FJ is just a teenager and she and DH haven't properly met yet. Plus, we already saw this story arch at play in TMPB, even if it was a bit different, so I think we have to wait until we see new material before making a judgment.

Personally, I think the scenery and the especial effects are much, much more beautiful and better done than TMPB. I love baby fox FJ!

If i am not mistaken, she is very, very young in the flash backs in the novel, maybe 16 or 15. She grows up a little later on; the events from the novel (ep8 and on) happen 2000 years after she goes to live with DH to repay her debt. She is definitely not in her 20s yet

In celestial years, she is still a teenager. She even goes to school! And she is an only-child and a princess... who can blame her for being a bit spoiled and immature. I am sure she will grow in time
