The opening scene is beautifully acted — Chen Zheyuan is touching in his vulnerability, visible in his eyes, and in the sincerity of his words. That firework — it feels like a metaphor for their hearts igniting (and mine too, by the way) — such a beautifully filmed moment! 🌸
...
This whole thing — oh, I laughed so hard when I saw Suj Ge’s face at 11:45 (she brought five men to her house!) 😂 He’ll never have peace with her — and honestly, that’s exactly what makes her so fiery and irresistible.
...
13:22 — “I so rarely hear praise directed at me from your lips…” — and I’d reply, “You’re welcome, I love you, Suj Ge!” 😂 The director framed the shot as if he was talking directly to the viewers — I just wanted to answer out loud! By the way, I really like the actress too.
...
14:57 — The “Lydia Bennet – Pride and Prejudice” type of moment here — no comments needed, I’ve already shared my thoughts (mainly about her brother’s position on this matter…).
Alright, let’s keep watching!...
18:15 — The horse-riding scene is filmed so well! Director, I love you! 🎬 She looks stunning in red on the horse, and she rides beautifully at full gallop! And Feng Suj Ge too — I wonder if they can really ride, or if they used stunt doubles? The music fits perfectly — dynamic, sharp, and full of energy 💣. Maybe the footage was slightly sped up, but still — what an excellent action scene (even if a bit fast-forwarded).
...
29:00 — A web of successive and mutual betrayals...
The woman in red — you’re absolutely dazzling.
...
30:00 — The four looks… then two. They understood everything.
One look full of bitterness, the other with the confidence of a winner — it says a lot about how Yi Xiao now chooses who to kill.
...
32:00 — The other prince is honest and decent with the princess — it’s her choice.
She’s cut all ties with her brother. The brother, once again, is left abandoned.
The other prince also leaves with bitterness in his heart — in a way, he too feels “betrayed.”
Here we see four kinds of love: righteous love, devoted and protective love, mad love, and powerless love — the kind that loses to one’s own ambitions.
...
41:00 — Wow, just wow! What a woman, what courage — I adore her!
There was so much emotion in that scene! I love this song, their kiss, and the flame — now it’s a real flame after the fireworks 🔥
It’s symbolic: after the sparks of fireworks (in Suj Ge’s confession scene), now a true, steady flame burns in their hearts — perfectly expressed emotions (and in mine too). 🔥💞

The director absolutely broke all records here! 🎬
And the whole crew behind the scenes — bravo 👏 — they gave me real emotions.
I’ve never seen fireworks like that before — like giant sparklers, stunning and old-fashioned, a true spectacle ✨
I’m sure this will become a trend — we’ll be seeing it everywhere soon in c-dramas ;(
And finally — Chen, love you :)

Episode 18 my analyse - in comment

Throughout the minutes of episode 17 in comment

17Episode at the beginning: this scene is beautifully acted, Chen Zhe Yuan is touching in his vulnerability in his eyes and in his sincerity with his words, and that fireworks, which seems to hint at how their hearts are burning (and mine too, by the way) — a very beautifully filmed scene!!

100 % agree give me five!

Me, yes :) but I’m far from having a princess’s personality lol.

There are so many “foolish characters like this in literature.” Here the screenwriter shows us, through this character, the necessity of prudence and discernment in matters of love… I need to watch that escape moment — I’m still so caught up in episode 16 that I’m taking my time… and I take your valid points regarding ML!! thks for reply

thks i m now on ep16 . Yes, of course, even in reality it’s always like that. However, I’m saying this just to understand the logic of the main character, regarding his action and his reasoning…
Since the princess, it’s already clear (she has no chance of survival), she is a character like in many novels, for example in Pride and Prejudice — Lydia Bennet, the same type (there are many examples that could be given).

"FSG told her who he was, " - Please, can you tell me if you remember exactly what he said and how he said it? Maybe I don’t remember, but what I recall is that he just said, “How can you marry my enemy?” Did he say that he betrays everyone for his own interests, that he even betrays his brother and his country, and that he exploits children for the purpose of killing? exploits his friends (Because I don’t take into account the fact that he wants to kill the ML — that’s political, and he is his rival, so it’s normal; he also wanted to kill him, they went to war.) So far, the ML has told all of this only to the FL.
If he said all that, then I have nothing against the ML. He is just and perfect, and I will end the debate. (I repeat, my initial analysis was not related to the princess, but to what the ML did or said, according to HIS logic.)

Ok, I need to keep watching to see all of that :) I’ll say it again, I repeat, I’m not taking the princess’s side. My initial point came from the fact that in episode 16, the ML should be transparent and dont say something like, “I will support you and maybe even come to your wedding.” That’s all.

’m still on episode 16. Maybe I miss that fact indeed. I’m not defending the princess, I’m just analyzing the situation

A very, very big difference. The two countries are at war, and she’s actually entering into a political marriage to help settle the situation (meaning, so they won’t be enemies anymore 😉). (This is what she knows) — imagine you only know this much information.

I’m not blaming, but I find it illogical — hi say hi want to protect her, yet and he keep the most essential thing a secret. I would say: let her make her choice after receiving the informations.... . Of course, these are political secrets; perhaps he should find a way to tell her without necessarily revealing all the details.

If you tell a naïve 17‑year‑old girl that your future husband has a death camp — someone who "kills" children, who uses these innocent orphans for his own personal purposes — wouldn’t she think twice before…

I find the character of the princess written in a way that is both romantic and true to her era, capturing the naivety of her era. After that, when ML learned the truth, I find it illogical that he does not tell his sister who this man is, especially since he claims he wants to protect her. However, if we put aside his words of protection, he is, in principle, right — not to interfere in her affairs and to let her make her own choice. After all, that is exactly what she wants. In any case, it will be her own decision, whether tragic or not. Allowing her to decide for herself what to do with her life, I would still reveal his true nature. After all, the girl only knows that he is an enemy — perhaps merely a political opponent, perhaps someone entirely good-hearted (she is not involved in politics and knows nothing of the details; she is naïve).

ep.16 princess

thank you ! great

What is this index? Could you explain it to me?

:))

That’s why comprehension can actually be better 0.75 lol than if it were your native language, — one of the advantages (I also don’t watch in my native language). But it’s interesting to listen to them in their own language too, especially for the nuances of their acting. Chen Ze Juan is amazing in that regard.
