The trailer for the parents' arc is giving me major Goodbye My Princess vibes. It appears like he (the dad) uses her (the mom) but actually falls in love with her. His unwillingness to sacrifice neither his ambition nor his love is making me think of Li Cheng Yin.
I love that the more LBY spends time with CSS, the more he adores her. Her stubbornness, her resilience, her heart; everything that makes her..well..her.
I think he sees parts of himself in her and the way she fights and the way she loves endears her to him. The biggest difference between them is age (not so much in number..but in what they've already experienced). At 15, she's still young and innocent while at 21, he's already experienced devastating losses. This shows in their demeanor and in the way they seek revenge for their wrongs. CSS schemes her little pranks while LBY goes hard and attacks families. Yet his viciousness has never truly scared her and she accepts that part of him..because she would do the same if she were in his shoes. They are one of those couples in drama land who are reflections of each other and therefore, are the perfect compliment to each other.
I just love how the characters are so atypical from most xianxia series! 1. FL does not have a whiny voice and…
I've grown to really like Yu Mo, especially in the more recent episodes. He's becoming a steady pillar for both YD and TZ. I think it hurts him to see YD falling for TZ..but he respects her decision. He never tries to obtain her sole attention and gives both of them respect and understanding because he understands that it's not about him.
Yu Mo is so kind to Tang Zhou. It makes me wonder how he's going to react when he finds out Tang Zhou is Ying Yuan. I have no doubt though that he will respect Yan Dan's decision if she chooses to still be with Ying Yuan in the end. And I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the writers make it so YM is the one to help them clear up their misunderstandings.
There's no doubt CSS gets her strength from her mother. The mother in prison telling everyone to eat was heartbreaking yet shows why she's the true matriarch of her family. There are times to crumble and times to fight and her immense strength to hold on instead of breaking is admirable.
Immortal samsara. It’s taxing my patients by focusing on the second leads instead of the main
It's funny because I'm also watching that and while I fast-forward through all the unnecessary second-lead stuff in Immortal Samsara, I'm peeved that side stories in Love Like the Galaxy seem to have been edited out (ie: Qi Qi and Cheng Song's romance arc)
I mean, CSS was abused and mistreated by her aunt and grandmother for more than 10 years. The fact that she's…
The difference is that CSS and the Empress have people supporting them. CSS isn't evil..but she is a scheming person. That's why she and LBY make a good couple. They are both righteously petty and scheming people.
Yes, CSS was neglected by her aunt and grandmother which caused her to not trust people and have abandonment issues. But in the time her parents have returned and with everything she's gone through since then, she learned that she is wholly loved. She and her mother have their differences, but she also sees how much her mother fights for her. And even though she was heavily bullied, she still obtained her own revenge. The same for the Empress. She married a man who loved someone else, but both him and his lover defer to her and show her respect. They both also fight to protect her person and her reputation. Does the crown prince do that? We haven't actually seen him stand up for his wife but rather, he treats her with indifference and his eyes wandered when he was in the same room as his former lover. I think that would be enough to make any spouse petty.
I stress that I'm not justifying the Crown princess' actions. She behaved atrociously and took pleasure in knowing she was causing another woman to be abused by her husband. There's no justification for that. I have no sympathy for the Crown Princess. She was no less vile than the 3rd and 5th princesses.
I'm simply stating CSS was not the right person to lecture her. They only knew each other for a short time and could barely be considered friends. I could see the Empress or Consort Yue lecturing her...but not CSS. It wasn't her place to do it.
Personal opinion but I didn't care for CSS lecturing the crown princess. It felt out of place and unnecessary. CSS is young and an outsider, she has no right to say or pass judgment. The crown princess is wrong and deserved her punishment for slandering an innocent woman but CSS couldn't possibly understand the heartache she's endured. It's easy to spew "enlightened advice" when CSS has never experienced such a thing. Aside from being raised by her aunt, CSS lucked out on life. Her family adores her, the imperial family dotes on her, and her fiance loves her completely...the crown princess has low self-esteem because of her poor background but that's compounded by the fact that her husband doesn't love her, she lost her child, and her own sister-in-laws don't respect her.
CSS settles her grudges in a "tame/normal" manner. She only targets the people who hurt her and she only hurts them. LBY...whoooo..implicates the whole family. When the girls pushed CSS into the water, he went after their dads and now he was willing to execute the entire Liang family because she was in danger. He's displaying a very frightening trait.
There's this constant "guilt-by-association" theme that occurs throughout the drama. There's people like CSS and Consort Yue who do not judge a family by the actions of a few members. Where does LBY draw the line?
“ I will repeat doing so much for some one without their knowledge ” YD does this same thing. She gave YY…
I've found that that's how many novel adaptations are. TMOPB, AoL, Goodbye My Princess are all told from the female lead's perspective and (to me) the novels themselves were quite boring. I tend to like the dramas more because we get to see different perspectives.

Nothing tests a person's patience like the fillers in long-running anime hahah

It just seems like there's still a lot of story left yet it's currently dragging in the mortal realm and it doesn't seem like it ends in Part 1.
