laysure

i personally struggle with this drama so eventually i drop it at ep20? i dont remember

true!! altho i would consider shiqi belongs to good category. some viewers indulge on fl bc we see things from her pov but at the same time criticising things ml did while ignoring things she did

to be fair, wang churan is like one of the early rumoured cast since last year. her and zhang linghe were one of the cast that stays for long time in this mydramalist page https://twitter.com/Allcbizmelons/status/1593453771366879232?t=VWH98s_8kLuYFxvayXWiHA&s=19

xuan doesnt recognise xiao yao but xiao yao also doesnt recognise him (altho she would recognise him first) no one is really to be blamed for this recognising matter

in some cultures marrying cousin is not a taboo and doesnt consider as weird (till now) but i dont think they will have romantic relationhip probably just pining from his side

yup!!

personally as for now i think what he had for her is just a good acquaintance feelings, he is a calculative person so he does maintain good relationship w everyone. i dont doubt that later he will definitely having soft spot for her it's his sister he has lost for years after all

i think it make sense why he hit xiao liu, xliu was just some acquaintance to him while his brat sister is his sister after all and like he said, he cant afford losing his sister again. none of these leads (minus shiqi) are truly right in their way imo. all of them use one another for smth from what we have seen

thank god

i dont think he was jelous or even develop any feelings for xiao liu as for now

ep14 gonna break me. what an acting from both leads! anyway asking the important question, do they get the herbs in the end? all those actions better be worth it

i saw comments saying zhang wanyi has weaker performance compared to other male leads, imo from the first few chapters of the novel of the episodes that are already out, his character really doesnt offer much, doesnt appear much, nor did readers can expect how his character will turn out later on from this first few chapters, i would say give it more couple of ep when we see more of his scheming? i personally think he did well according to the character given to him in first few ep.

zhang wanyi has always received praise among cnets for his past roles from weaving tale of love, to awakening age and the bond. i know douban score is not to be taken seriously but the bond had 7.7 rating rated by 190K+ users and awakening age had 9.3 rating (one of the highest in china) by 470K+ users and i too like him as an actor so i do had faith in him bringing justice to zhuan xu characters based on his past works. but, i also acknowledge some actors can do good in some show and fall behind in another so just give it more ep till we see more of his performance as this characters 😁

ughh and his voice im a sucker for his voice

he is not blind he just let it happen bc he sort of need her for power. if you forgot he was a hostage both him and xiang liu are morally grey characters

i too love sang yan story more bc it left a long lasting impact and i just love sang yan a lot as a lover he is the standard imo. af for the recs, im afraid i cant help bc while i do read some novel after none of them were memorable and i was just mindlessly reading waiting to reach the last chapter. but have you tried reading waiting for you in city? it was in my readlist and the novel that inspired fireworks of my heart drama. i had a feeling that i will like the novel bc it has some of my fav trope but i cant guarantee it will be good bc i too havent had time to read it

most welcome and enjoy reading!

the ml of the drama and the novel are the same which is zhuan xu or qiang xuan, her cousin in the novel but in the drama they are not blood related

bc his love was selfish and obsessed i heard but i think i will probably like him still bc i might pity him, i mean love and hate can exist at the same time right 😅

oh ik about the misunderstanding trope, it just from some novel review i read, instead of betraying he is too kind and that cause him losing xiao yao and disappoint her which for me valid in her pov eventho he did no wrong. just like in ep4, if things are from his pov, i dont think what he did was wrong, he dont want her to do bad thing, but from her pov she definitely felt like a fool for depending on him

i mean it's pretty early in the ep a lot of things may change seventeen said that would be the last time he betray her, but would he really?
