spoiler from novel : SE is the most suitable ending for this story. It's about how the FL never really had a choice all along. The ML deserves the suffering and pain so he can finally understand what he had neglected to give her. He wanted power, and he wanted love but he had to realize that one of them had to be sacrificed.

there are many similarities. ML is not that red flag though

every day til this airs, I will be hoping it has a sad ending.

Personally, I pay attention to every little detail. And when I notice that some details aren't informative or don't pay off later, the plot starts to feel messy to me. I think they might tie everything together by the end and connect all the dots . but the timing just isn't right for a 40-episode drama. That kind of slow-burn payoff usually works better in shorter dramas or movies. Having to remember everything that happened up to the later episodes kills the joy.but idk still some people might like it this way.

Yeah, that's my point. Things are just explained. Did we care if they died or not? No. It actually didn't matter to me. They were probably villains that I never hated, and I never knew much about. I was just told they deserved to die. No emotional investment.

I'm not a director .I'm a fan of cinema. There are plenty of directorial choices in this drama that deserve praise. But as I've said before, the real problem is a messy script that wasted all of that potential. If you pay closer attention while watching the new episodes, you'll see that most things happen randomly. The plot lacks true consistency. Basic cause-and-effect reasoning is missing, and at times, events don't even feel connected.

I'm not a hater. I'm simply disappointed.People have different opinions and perspectives. You have only one drama in your list and have already rated it a ten, and the show hasn't even ended yet — and you accuse me of being a hater? I'd rather be a hater than a brainless fan.

OK, I have finally made my mind. This show is annoyingly boring. Annoying because the plot points are actually interesting, but it's executed in the most boring way. A little spoiler makes this drama lose its spark. Most of the episodes are spent on pointless long talks. We're being told most of the things and not shown. They have introduced so many characters all at once. The people she takes revenge on — we don't even have time to hate them or even know them. We just have to blindly accept they're bad and did bad things. same with good people. There is actually nothing exciting about this story. Political points are poorly executed considering it was adapted from a good novel.A slow drama means a drama where the plot moves forward slowly. It doesn't mean a drama with two episodes of random things and one episode that fast-forwards through all the important events. This is not slow. This is poorly written.script writers wasted a good idea.

Is anyone else confused? I mean, some parts of the show are great — the music, the directing, and the acting. But some parts are so random, boring, and confusing. I don't want to drop it, but I don't know — maybe this show is more suitable for binge-watching...I've watched up to ep7

not a fan of bailu or cheng lei so my opinion is not biased. this show is actually good so far.

i feel you

is it a dream ?

I still miss this show. Years later, and nothing comes close. Tragic, beautiful, sad yet hopeful. The kind of instrumental soundtrack that never leaves your playlist, and cinematography that ruin other shows for you.

Big spoiler: He died in an accident . She realized how much she loved him and spent years longing for him. Then we learn that she actually fell in love with him the first time Fxx saw them hugging.

the ending had me in tears.sad but very beautiful.i will never move on from this show.

I've watched almost all of her dramas, and I've never found anything in her acting that's annoying. Maybe you just got fixated on one particular facial expression and you notice it all the time. I feel the same way about another actor.sometimes the way that actor smiles really bothers me. it feels so fake and out of character. other people don't usually notice that and i think maybe that's just how her face looks like while smiling. Sure, there might be something off with the acting, but being that sensitive about one thing is more about your vibe not matching with that person. Maybe you and some other people, just don't really click with her.

This show teaches you so much. It's like seeing life from above. I really wish there were more series like this one.

This drama has all the arcs I love😭❤️

None of those so-called 'traffic' actors are that good anyway. Most of them have issues with basic acting skills .even the ones who are way more populer than Chen Duling.so take it easy and just enjoy watching the dramas of actors you vibe with.

In the world of C-dramas, this is definitely a short one. 24 episodes is not much for a historical drama.also Not everyone watching short dramas is looking for quick romance with lots of physical touch. there are plenty of people enjoying this show for what it is, and at its core, it's about empowering a female character.
