situ ling being the best character in the novel, never obsessive always supporting mingyi even when he disagree with her decision, oh novel situ ling i will forever mourn the poor writing they did for you in the drama
I’m only on ep 2 but yeah I wasn’t impressed. Here’s my two cents. Mine, I tell ya, not anyone’s so don’t…
how can you watch love designer and think there is no chemistry between the leads???? tjis literally one of my top tier chemistry in cdramaland ever.
me personally tho im feeling it more between her and miles. i love arthur but there is always smth abt his smile that i find slightly weird (not in offensive way) and in this show actually dx was potrayed as one who loves to smile but i dont rlly see any difference compared to his other non cold roles. but it is not big issue to me and ig since i do like my fiction cp a bit toxic hence im feeling it more from miles
well well, so you're a novel reader? please tell me will they have any big misunderstanding and be seperate for…
iirc nope!! separation wise maybe for some time when she didnt want to give him a chance to date. tho i do think it get slow when the focus shift to the war in the middle but overall i really love the novel.
i only read it once tho so my memory might be wrong!
THIS IS SO GOOD I COULDNT FIND ANYTHING I DISLIKE FOR FIRST 4EP.
genuinely so happy that they seems to be closely following the book (AS IT SHOULD) pretty visual, pretty cinematography, pretty ost everything is pretty. and i really love dilireba as he simu, i have missed seeing her in this character.
and both leads used their own voice right? i personally really loving it esp for he simu, fits the setting so well, i hope in mandarin they also did it well :)
i dont understand why wang pu willingly follow xie huaian plan to poison yan fengshan (to which he poison himself), he can just choose not to do either, story is shocking but was it that shocking to the point of killing yr ownself? did he do so bc he was so sad and hence cannot serve yfs anymore?
omyy can u tell me wht really happened in the novel?
anyway i really recommend reading the novel, i personally love the realism of the character, everyone is flawed but they all have growth and really loving the storyline, ji bozai do grovel and suffer a lot, mingyi make him wait for 10 years, so i went from not wanting them to ever get back together after his betrayal to 'fine' tho if i were to choose i still prefer they went separate ways.
what i do love tho once ji bozai became emperor he became someone who gave power to women, like school, facilities etc (i dont remember exactly what he did) people might be turn off when we say he is a misogynist but taking consideration of it being back in thr time, the mindset is common and fitting and he may change bc of mingyi but change is good regardless and he is a person with power who could do a lot to change the mindset of ppl at that time about women
omyy can u tell me wht really happened in the novel?
ji bozai was a misogynist (not a raging one but the typical men mindset in the past) he is the type who believe men can have many women but woman must have chastity iirc, and even when he fell for her, realised he made mistake, he seems too egoistic to apologise, but he did aologide with the mindset of 'im doing you a favor' so it actually took him a lot of growth to really see her as equal.
when he finally did, and they get together, fight alongside each other and win together, he betray her by marrying the princess, which everyone in his households know (and everyone in the town) except her. this is a betrayal that me as a reader take it personally bc i love his growth, but reaching this part is like me being betrayed personally and im glad mingyi left him. so to sum it all, mingyi do lie a lot for her secret, but it never as bad as ji bozai did.
scrolling the comment and it make me so mad people are angry at mingyi instead of ji bozai. this is why the adaptation is bad, they make ppl sympathise with ml instead of fl when she is the one being betrayed by him in the novel. when he is the worse person than her in the novel.
