Yeh thats what I mean, and later he cools down for a bit but then when he hears hey are getting married does some stuff like that again, she rejects him then but wish it was a bit harsher, but still ml and fl have nice moments and you can see they like each other only and after he gets rejected he does stop like interfering which is nice.

100 percent doesn't seem that complicated, everyone else can figure it out, for sure lost a lot of revenue I was planning on re-upping my Youku subscription for this drama only for it not to be there, I feel like many people would have done the same

I really hope not, these are dramas with Yang yang and now XZ, both pretty major stars, I have no idea how they let this happen, surely not again with someone like XZ as the lead

Haha so true ZZ has been through it, been at deaths door the whole time needs a nice vacation. BYT and ZZ bickering is so good, love their friendship

Ah ok I missed those comments thanks for the info but yeh very sad, first time for me that a Youku big ip drama isn't on Youku international, like it happens with mangotv sometimes but as one of the three big platforms this felt quiet weird

Yeh I agree, I never saw the franchise people mentioned, but just quick research about BZ and also the amount of times Kaifeng prefecture was mentioned makes me intrigued about it. But yeh him and Bai yu ting definitely deserve a nice rest first haha

Yeh 100 percent, I feel like the trio as well is very suited for another season, would love to see bao Zheng or more of the Kaifeng people as well

Ah ok I see, thats so annoying no idea why daylight entertainment would do that

Hahaha yeh it was pretty funny definitely was like a bts funny scene all bandaged up and I really liked how they went to see fl with their fake names that was a nice touch. I was about to say the same as well, the post credit scene gives second season vibes so much, setting up like whatever mission zz was just given.

Also like Youku announced second seasons of elegant of zang hai, immortal ascension and unveiled jadewind among others, so kind of seems like Youku is going down the route of more second seasons for their dramas so who knows could be possible. As long as it's same cast though.

Fingers crossed, hopefully they should be but who knows how the subs will work with express when it's not on like Youku internationally, or at least in my region.

Haha yeh that would have been nice, but just glad they showed us Bai yutang and zz together talking and joking after the credits. Honestly gives me sequel vibes but won't hold out too much hope.
See you around the comments

I totally get that for sure, skipping or fast forwarding annoying stuff makes watching more enjoyable when theres dramas that have a lot of annoying stuff but you still want to watch and like enjoy the good stuff

Yeh it's a bit annoying, but he gets better from like ep 17 onwards I think, but just as 2ml gets better, not long after 3ml returns and is annoying so be prepared. Also 2ml is annoying once he hears about the marriage but isn't too bad then cause he has fewer scenes. He's annoying for like two or three scenes but then calms down nd is better for the rets of the drama. ML and fl finally get more time together like between ep 16-22ish which I think was the best part of the drama like I mentioned.

I'm interested to see what you think about fl's rejection of 2ml later on around ep 20 something, I thought it could be more direct/harsher like I said in my review above but maybe thats just me.

No problem, and yeh subs aren't great but I just wanted to see the ending, gonna watch properly when subs are better probably later in the day.

Yeh I agree, sure maybe its a little plot hole but I really don't care, just wanted him to survive thats all and Bai Yuting is like a slippery type of guy if anyone could have found a way to survive it would have been him.

Same here I rushed to see the ending so gonna watch properly now.

Pretty much agree with what you said, 2ml/heir grows on you as the drama goes on, and 3ml becomes the annoying one kind of funny how they flip. Glad you enjoyed the drama though, I agree not like at the tier of the ones you mentioned, but still pretty good

Hey, yeh the 2ml I think I mentioned I did find him annoying also but he does grow on you, takes a while though I won't lie starts off rough with him, the start and middle part he was pretty annoying. 3ml I also agree, he's not bad now, but takes a turn later in the drama. 2ml and 3ml kind of flip, 2ml becomes less annoying, 3ml becomes more annoying but that happens way later in the drama.

I agree for sure, I like the subtle interest between ml and fl, they do a good job of like their subtle glances and stuff showing interest, you can feel their chemistry, and yeh fl has some nice scenes standing up for herself, she's a strong fl and doesn't take too much nonsense for her family which is nice. Hope you enjoy the rest of the drama, look forward to your thoughts.

There is an after credits scene in ep 37, be sure to wait and watch after the credits!! You don't want to miss it, gives us a good ending

Here to mention the kdrama Sold out on you 12 eps. There is a break up which I will explain and a HE. Overall I did enjoy this kdrama, mostly it was your typical kdrama romcom, fun and enjoyable with a cute ml and fl relationship. However there were some moments where it was darker/more serious, as ml and fl both have traumas they are suffering from, the deeper moments provided a nice change of pace I felt, a nice bit of depth, but overall, was a mostly light rom com. Story wise it was predictable nothing too new, and for me the start was a bit slow, the first couple eps were ok but really got going around ep 6-7 in my opinion, but still first eps weren't bad they were still enjoyable I just felt at times was a bit slow. But overall, the chemistry between ml and fl was cute and they had a sweet relationship, with a nice supporting cast, so it was an enjoyable rom com to watch.

Ml and fl get together officially end of ep 7 but it's clear they like each other before, especially with ml. They kiss at the start of ep 7, get together officially at the end of ep 7/very start of ep 8. However, break up happens very end of ep 8 and they get back together around mid way ep 9. So break up lasts about half an ep.

It was a noble idiocy break up, ml felt guilty because he was indirectly involved in fl's past trauma, also he feels like he's holding her back, so he breaks up with her even though she doesn't want to. Eventually in ep 9 fl realizes how much ml cares for her and helped her without her knowing, and also ml still obviously loves fl, so fl tells him she will stay by his side, like how he stayed by hers, and they reconcile. It was an annoying break up, I could see it coming though and I guess story wise makes sense. It was kind of the turning point because most of the first half of the drama its ml taking care of fl and helping her heal from her trauma, so fl saying she will stay by ml's side, is kind of where it flips and fl begins helping ml heal from his trauma. So I did like how they used the break up and reconciliation as the beginning of fl helping ml heal from his trauma, but I still wish it didn't happen. Would have liked if there was no noble idiocy break up, felt like they could have handled it without a break up but at least it was pretty short.

Besides that, no other break up and their relationship is very supportive and cute. Seeing ml help fl heal was very sweet, a lot of the time without her even knowing, he's a green flag for sure, and then seeing fl help ml heal was very nice to see. Was a very supportive relationship as they helped each other and supported each other through work difficulties and the villains of the drama as well. They had the classic trope of disliking each other at the start when they first met, then slowly falling for each other. Overall besides the break up, was a pretty cute and supportive relationship, enjoyed how they helped each other not just heal from their trauma, but also work together and supporting each other through work difficulties. They really stuck by each other, had sweet and cute moments, but also funny moments, a pretty sweet and enjoyable relationship.

There is a 2ml but he's not the toxic type, besides one scene, he didn't really interfere between ml and fl too much and wasn't annoying, so I didn't mind it at all. 2fl was slightly more annoying in ep 6 or 7 I think, but besides that she also wasn't bad, overall the ml and 2fl weren't bad at all, with the 2ml especially being quite helpful and both of them were good people. Most of the cast were enjoyable characters, a couple typical annoying villains/annoying characters, but most were quite enjoyable and provided some nice comic relief.

Overall, at times it was predictable and for me took a little while to get going, however including some more serious moments to an overall light romcom provided some nice changes of pace. Ultimately, it was enjoyable rom com to watch, the supportive and cute relationship between ml and fl was nice to see, really enjoyed how they supported and healed each other. If you're feeling like a classic kdrama type of romcom, this is an enjoyable romcom to watch overall.

Yeh thats fair enough, this is pretty love triangle heavy for sure
