the way princess wanning's backstory allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of her character was done so beautifully…
also screaming at how the literary concept of "the (gothic) double" applies to XFF + princess wanning... one chose rebirth while the other chose destruction............
the way princess wanning's backstory allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of her character was done so beautifully ugh she's really one of the most fleshed-out female antagonists i've ever come across. li meng's acting is incredible
that type of shot when the actors look directly at the camera while speaking their lines is so overused and awkward.…
i've grown sorta used to it but sometimes it still throws me off too 😮💨 the first person pov shot is such a weird directorial choice tbh it's the only thing that drives me crazy about its otherwise stunning cinematography
oooh according to the latest bts clip, WJY came up with XH's "i already knew you liked me. but do you know that i like you?" line on set while they were rehearsing 😳 genius...
I do not understand Shen Yu Rong's intentions at this point. He is a little cunning that's ehy I can not decide…
in a conversation with XFF he said "if i had the same background as [duke su], i wouldn't have to do this" — it's such a petty excuse, but it also reinforces my understanding that deep down he's willing to do anything to climb up the ranks (his initial drive for wanting to bring down corrupt officials got twisted somewhere along the way, i guess)
(lighthearted) if i took a shot for every comment about WJY's age or the leads' age gap i would've died from alcohol poisoning long before this drama started airing
STILLS FROM THEIR MARRIED LIFE AAAA (these must be from the bonus they were shooting earlier today?!?!?)
