oh good, I thought it was out of character of the fl, thanks.

True, and the maid needs to go.

I hope they won't try making the so called "sister" in her new home too much of an evil, otherwise it would just another same old same old cliche seen already too many times in the same drama.

ah yes I meant the marques alright. Good point about the teasers, they are often misleading, but I do see them fighting there, let's see what really goes down tomorrow.

saw a bit of the trailer of the coming episodes tomorrow, it shows the duke and the "third brother" in a duel for marrying the female lead. Why in the world the female lead wants them to fight for her? This is so against her character, putting the male lead in danger can never be her wish, neither marrying the duke in the off chance that he wins the duel. The screenwriter made a huge mistake here.

personal taste and opinions are accepted , as such I love not only the adaptation in drama of the novel but also the choice of the cast, especially the main leads, the male lead is a true pro in costume dramas, his speeches, his poise are top notch, thr femal lead has room for improvement in articulation of speeches in costume dramas, but her looks and her poise are great, matching the male lead's perfectly. I am totally enjoying this drama and can't wait for the express package.

yes, that 's my hope, I said by Wednesday top so to give a margin for the release of express package, the sooner the better. This drama to me is one big success, like the storyline, the pacing, the cast, the costumes , the makeup (the fl looks way more prettier than she was in The longest promise) ah yes the various settings too, beautiful and rich.

so enjoyed the 2 episodes today, the clarification finally came. The male lead is truly devoted to the fl, he spared no efforts to safeguard her. Hopefully there won't be anymore one episode a day thing, what remains after the 2 episodes a day schedule will probably be made available in express package by Wednesday top.

Why the Duke ever bothered to find proof that she is the girl he lost, he is convinced no matter what that she is who he thinks she is, so obsessed. Good move the fl did in drawing sword against herself to get him to let go of her. Love the male lead, he is always there to save her.

Wrong, it is 24th October Thursday, and episode 27 is already aired.

I saw the story of Minglan, but I don't tie it to The rise of Ning, the latter is a separate drama and I find the characters well defined from episode to episode, from events to events flashbacks included. There are still more than a dozen of episodes to go I am sure more clarities will be made available. By the way, I don't object to actors and actresses called in to play roles that suit them better, producers have the success of the production in heart and actors are free to do what they do better until they want to venture into something different. The male lead gained popularity and fame only recently, there is nothing wrong with him choosing to do what he feels best to do to consolidate his status.

Agree, I have read the novel and in my opinion , the screenplay is far more relatable and entertaining. Modifications of characters and events were made in the drama respect to the novel, and all positive.

on the contrary, I think the screenplay is great, especially when you compare it with the original novel.

As I wrote some time ago, this drama is an adaptation of a novel which I have been reading and only have a few chapters left. must say the drama is a way lot better than the novel, the screenwriter managed to preserve the fundamentals of the novel but modified characters and events to deliver definitely a more relatable, quicker pacing drama and yes more romantic too. In most cases I always find drama adaptations less fulfilling than the novels, but not this time.

so we are back again now with one episode a day for three days till Friday, damn. This drama has good pacing and the story, the cast have me hooked, one episode a day is simply torture.

I feel you, but I kinda enjoy doing both actually once I made up my mind to treat them separately, the plus I have is to be able to put faces in the dramas to characters in the book, it makes the story more real. I think reincarnation is not too welcome by Chinese censorship, therefore very few manage to break through. I personally am not a fan of reincarnations, I don't like being taking back and forth. Hey this is my very personal taste.

So I U have been reading the original story online while waiting for new episodes of the drama. There are a lot of dfferences and changes between the book and the drama, I quite regard them as 2 separate works, up to a certain point, The book started with the reincarnation of the fl at the age of 7, and the grandma died at the early stage, so much to point out a difference. I love both 2 works, they are great to follow.

Am totally enjoying the rise of ning, am sure the story of pearl girl will be just as good if not even better. Love to see fla being strong and resilient in whatever they do. Gone are the days (so to speak) when fls were weak and submissive, putting their lives in the hands of the male leads.

Thanks good to know. Fortunately I am fluent in Chinese. But thank you all the same, am sure your input helps.

https://www.kanunu8.com/book5/jinxiuanning/#google_vignettehi guys, I am reading the original story online, it is in Chinese but can be translated by google in English . I find the story very entertaining and great to read. The story started with the reincarnation of Ning, therefore unlike the drama series, but many other aspects and details are brought into the drama and I am having a great time both in reading the original and watching the screenplay in the same time. I also find it extremely engaging to be able to put faces of the cast into the characters in the original story, it is so fulfilling. Have a go if any of you is curious enough.
