The Erlang character so far for me leaves a lot to be desired... the guy is just kind of a poker-faced asshole. I'm only a few episodes in so far, but, he comes off this way and for no apparent reason... just his personality? ugh! At least (so far) other characters you can kind of see WHY they act the way they do. Erlang (other than being pressured to marry like everyone else)... I don't see a "reason" for his behavior/arrogance.
I really loved this! GREAT if you love a good politically-fueled drama with great acting, decent script, and some realistic/mature romance splashed in there. However... the end left an opening for an obvious Season 2. I wonder if one is planned or they just wanted to leave themselves an opening to consider one? hmmm
When the crown prince lifted her over that gold barrier, tended her wound etc... and just all their interactions even up to that point.. I kind of LOVE them together!! FL + 3ML for the win! ππ€
2FL didn't have a chance before but she made the wrong choice in saying bad things about the FL in front of ML tsk tsk if wasn't sure about his choice before, he sure was by the end of that convo! π
I think their chemistry was truly chemistrying during the piggyback/mountain/firelies scenes tho, itβs truly…
I love her.. but I think it's just me, to be honest.. her face has an adorable child-like look to me, so I think I can't see her as young adult/romantic interest for the ML.. IDK.. lol :)
it's just a personal thing.. I don't mind playing young/being young.. but she just comes across as child-like instead of a teenager/young adult to me. Like I said.. she's lovely and I like her in general, but I'm just personally not feeling it .. may change my mind though LOL still enjoying the drama! :)
while I adore the FL... I am not feeling it with her paired with the ML romantically... I thought by this point besides her magic evolving more maturely.. that her character would as well.. but she still acts/talks/looks like a 12-14yo and it's off-putting for me this far into the drama :(
This drama isn't perfect by any means but I'm 25 episodes in and am finding it a hidden gem! If nothing ridiculous happens to dramatically change my mind, I will add this to one of my fav xianxia dramas! :-)
