Someone please discuss it with me, share your opinions.
I'm blown by this drama. My review is here. https://kisskh.at/profile/beatrix0304/review/454066

Summary:
Imagine the most intelligent ML, always one step ahead of everyone, so powerful he could overtake a throne in a second if he was not loyal.
Imagine FL, girl next door, normal girl like you and me trying to survive ambitious cunning family and palace.

First half - enemies to lovers, these two have never been more then a tool to selfish people around them, they trust no one, not even to one another in the beginning.
Then cutest moments - episode 15-17 are so cute, you can really see two people in love like first love, although they are adults, because never before they had a chance to want something for themselves. So pure. Their love is Forbidden love. But they are actually so pure in their humble desire just to be normal people, who are not someones tool to their selfish ambitions and desires.

Then second half -now imagine those two obedient people, in their lonely life, finally, finally, seeing something worth living for, something worth dying for - love. And then one risk after another, so suspenseful,...

Also, so many quotable and rewatchable moments.

Unchained Love is sooo good. Episode 15-17, especially 16 is the sweetest. Both of them, culmination to that point is adorable. Also so many obstacles for this love... so tense to the very end.
Why why is only 7,9? I almost didn't watch it because of that. What a misguidance...

And you finish come back her to tell me your favorite moments :)

I binged it also, then binged with my friend, and another friend. Until everyone watched it with me. Now everyone is hooked haha.
So, yeah, enjoy it your way haha

Oh, take your time. and enjoy every second.
The worst part of this drama is that you'll be craving for it year after you watched it and still not find anything not even close.
It's the only drama ever I rated as 10.

So agree.. Duke Su is the best ML ever written and performed. Even if you put him in one drama with other MLs he would still be the one captivating attention.

Also, have in mind that I'm European, never've been to any part of Asia. So:
- I judge only from performance of the show. Interviews, their private life I don't know.
- the cultural difference vis-a-vis expectations from the performances. I grew up on Hollywood production, so overacting looks cheap to me (Like Esther Yu performances).

Dear @Marwen Ricky, thank you for your comment. I excluded the school project. Now, his average rating is 8,36 which is again the highest in C drama world.

I wrote in the criteria, alongside objective criteria (kisskh average rating) The actor must have role that makes you lose your sleep. And though Ling Buyi is amazing, he is no where near Duke Su. My account here I made after The Double, to check if there's more drama like that, and then I went down the rabbit hole, and watched over 30 drama.

But I do agree, that Ling Bu Yi, Ashile Sun have a high 3rd place. Which is amazing per my criteria. Because these are the only actors whose shows I watched without skipping. the rest, is hardly watchable. I usually watch 5 episodes before deciding to drop the show.

Also, @Pytheos and @Marwen Ricky, have you guys watched The Double? I would love to hear your opinion on it.

I'm also waiting for someone to answer this. Great questions.

Everything WXY plays is a masterpiece. So looking forward to this.

I watched all versions of this show, The original one has best FL and Hua Ze Lei, this one has best ML. Thai one has best plot, makes the most sense, but maybe they went to soft and that alienated them from manga original. All in all this one is the best.

So true. But he is so good at playing that character.

I know there are many other actors others would consider better fit. If so please suggest I will watch their drama, and if I complete the drama without skipping that means they should be on the list.
