yes, it was unrealistic on many levels; but, I happily threw logic out the window and just had fun with it

thoroughly agree

What do those stand for?

😁

There’s nothing new that’s good airing right now. Rewatch some of the greats—Under the Power, One and Only, Forever and Ever, Story of Kunning Palace, The Rise of Ning, Prisoner of Beauty, Melody of a Golden Age—some of my favorites. I even recently rewatched “Only for Love” which I did not like when it aired, but the second time around, I really enjoyed it.

“Footprints of Change” is a new drama, but it’s serious and substantive—no light and fun romance with hot kisses or a silly plot. If you like intellectual dramas, then “Footprints of Change” is a good one. It’s well-made, well-acted. High art.

great moments, it’s fun recalling them all

Are you trolling? That wasn’t the whole story. There was way more to it than that oversimplification.

I understand that. However, in ep 1 and throughout the drama, we were led to believe that he was cruel, merciless, and bloodthirsty, but once we got to know him, it turned out he was a principled and honorable man. He fought for right, his people, and for peace.

I really was impressed with Prince Annan. Turned out, he was such an honorable man.

great breakdown explaining the charm of this drama

same

1. That scene where he told her that she could unwrap his bandages to see how he had self-healed and she proceeds to stroke his chest with wonderment, delight, and a slightly provocative smile.

2. Their wedding night

3. The way he beat those guards who were about to r@pe her

4. The way he, as Prince Annan, fell in love with her all over again while she was a POW staying in that shabby old house— he immediately agreed to her request for 30 dishes; he bought her a new dress; he tried to patch the roof in the rain for her; he was able to sleep soundly in her presence which stunned him; he force-kissed her because the attraction to her , like a magnet that he couldn’t resist, had been building inside of him

5. When Qiao and her second-in-command guard questioned Jin’an for eavesdropping, the second female guard kept repeating the questions and Jin’an said, “Where’s that echo coming from?” 😂

6. When the General and Jin’an were consulting together like a real couple about how to handle Prince Li, the loving concern on Jin’an’s part as he stroked her hair and said, “Don’t worry” and her respectful manner of looking to him for assistance, completely assured that they were working on the same team—OMG such a couple-goals moment.

7. The numerous shirtless scenes, oh the eye candy 🍬 🍭 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽😄😄

Why didn’t he admit to her that he remembered their love and life together before sending her back to Taijin?

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Now, waiting patiently for:
1. Zhu Yu
2. Mo Li
3. Tiger Sniff
4. Against the Current

I don’t think it will disappoint.

She wanted more time with him. She told him straight up that it made her happy when he came to see her. Honestly, she didn’t want him to leave.

I think it really was because of the kids. She kissed him just fine when they left.

What do you mean—like when she asked for the 30 dishes, or when she asked for the qin? The dishes were not really for herself but for her army. The qin—yes, I think she was flirting. She was purposely messing with him, being naughty, getting his dander up a bit. She wanted to trigger his memory. But, when his memory finally was triggered and he force-kissed her, she claimed that he wasn’t Jin’an. So, I was confused about why she didn’t admit that he was Jin’an. I guess she wanted him to fully remember on his own.

Same 9/10 for me too. A bit more dark romance would have been chef’s kiss 🔥.

yep
