I reckon they were a bit awkward, but nothing overly different from majority of them in the Cdrama world. I dont think ML is particularly good in establishing chemistry in intimate scenes, but then I've only ever seen him in My Boss and compared to that, this is defo an improvement so I didnt even think twice about quantity vs quality 😄

haahha! They were like 99% of Cdrama kisses 😃 only 2 kisses i remember as something to remember fo in Cdramas, were tbe cut scene of Love in the Clouds when Huo Minghao flew onto her mouth wide open and the kiss in Embrace in the Dark Night. very rarely if ever you see a Yoona, Junho type of kiss from King the Land 🙂

I enjoy this a lot, so many laugh out loud moments, when I cannot hold back and just giggle. I didnt see many bodyswap dramas, byt theyre pulling off each other's characters really well, similarly to the C drama the day of becoming you. I like the set, the leads, I do like SML and SFL, hope they get together rather than triangles, but we shall see. the usual plotting in the palace, which is always there in historical dramas, no surprises there.
I am very much looking forward to the rest of the episodes and hoping for no downhill 🤞

I really liked Flourished Peony, so most definitely recommended. Only criticism is they never should have made it two part, I think the second part could have just been wrapped up as a part of a 40 episode drama with the first part. it was 32 and 24 episodes I think. The whole wibe, colours, cinematography were beautiful.

Sometimes I do wonder, whether people complaining about lack of chemistry watch the same drama at all. what else would you want for chemistry? beyond me....

hahahaha! i wish I could just drop dramas like this 😁 but no, even when the actor/actress gives me the ick I have a thing to finish it. its very few I managed to really drop to the point im not planning to go back to them.
if its not your cup of tea, better not waste your time

she is keeping her old husband there for sure, she also made RSB swear, she's ditching her husband if he does anything shady, these are definite, not tell tales. Maybe she is not bad, but she's certainly too authoritive for my liking with the only possible correct view is hers. She takes the role of a Martiarch too seriously, like YunXi said, they would benefit from someone less traditional.

even if it is, I don't think granny ever going to redeem herself for me hahah. I can see it either way, this drama keeps on surprising me

Oh, that is also possible, though I do think she is a bit of a megalomaniac and cruel by nature (I really don't like her character).

I've been thinking what other drama this reminds me of, it's the Flourished Peony for me. Business/female oriented FL and scheming official ML who's working on getting rid of corruption. I do see similarities, is it just me? Also Mango TV production, so it looks like a pattern. It's more intrigues in this one, everyone is working on their own agenda, very much keeping us on our toes for sure. Cannot wait to see more.

OK, so now i've caught up, watched ep 24 as it was out and agree.... wait is baaaaaad.

Hearing all the stories from the past, she might have been good in business, but probably the power gone into her head a long time ago. She seems to have been cruel all her life - how she handled her husband, the Third Brother's wife, the oath she made RSB to take, all very selfish and cruel. It probably was masked better before RSB lost her favour as she was handling majority of the things. Now with her not around, nothing to keep her in check.

unclouded soul - I dont see why people so mad about the ending its open, you interpret the way you like it. sure, they could have stopped at episode 38 and give them HE, but it was so good in the middle, its a waste not to go and finish it.

She explained it all though. she is very reasonable, smart, intellignet and calculative, I think its normal for her to judge by reason not by emotions. defo not a hot headed reaction that probably most of us would do 😅

City of Romance. its with Demo from Go go Squid.

oh ok. in my interpretation she will figure out a way to get their happily ever after and I could even see a little animation similar to the one when Hong Ye collected the mirror pieces, and then get their happy ending. potentially even saving the 3 demons from their deaths, they were very unnecessary..

yeah they were just odd and I certainly disliked how they turned out to be at end. also, how did he demoned himself? he literally consumed 3 ultra demons power then he just went to live on like a human? I dont understand.
so in the time loop. she cannot change the past but could she not change the present timeline so Hong Ye does not lock himself away?

time for me to catch up 🤪 unclouded and Shine on me done, I can finally put my attention back to Glory.

well he did but he had no idea who she was then and as you said he had no emotional bond either.
overall I was not that mad with the ending, would I have preferred if theyre given happy ending and not killing off everyone, or locking Hong ye away? of course, but this open ending was in line with the whole show how he got one plot twice after the other, so kinda worked for me.
I do have a lot of questions that I wonder if they thought of or have solutions for, like when ahe leaves the bodies, what happens with the original owners of those bodies, do they just carry on? disappear? I provably would like a quick epilogue of what she did different this time and how she changed the time line(s) id she did change them. all well. food for thoughts haha

I think if he was not as nasty though he might not have swayed to ho behind Xiao Yao's back and betray her. still. I didnt like Ao Han, so very much indifferent for me whether he died or not, the other 2 were much nicer and deof deserved to live especially Tang She.
