Im planning to watch this just for Bai LU. I'm not a fan of the ml that's why I haven't watched it yet but from…
Oh wow!! I have you as a partner then.
Me too had this on the shelf cause he doesn't come across as my kind of ML 🙈🫣
Also when I took a sneak peak - the EXTRAORDINARYLY beautiful cinematography (tones - textures - movement - set design - costumes) looked so lush like a film.. And of course Bai Lu steals the screen soon as she walks into it - the ML falls flat!!!!
No presence (voice - walk - looks - interaction with Bai Lu).. Which would open up our taste buds.. Greedy for the next bite.
So much so that I went back to check if THIS was the ML.. On MDL. Sigh!!
Anyway I am straight from Bai Lu killing it on Only for You TTEOTM Love is Sweet
So like you I will desperately cling to the show FOR HER.. And pray that the either the PLOT in enticing enough.. OR the actor puts out gripping acting skills.
BEWARE HUGE SPOILER ahead for anyone who doesn't want to know a pivotal plot twist.
Others who have completed it (or don't care boy knowing twists) - please scroll down ;-D
WHY does the Emperor Sleep with Xue Shi??
He had a FULL harem of concubines I know ..
But he didnt come across as a horny guy who has a glad eye for the women .. especially a woman he knows is his mom's pawn piece AND and daughter of his 'enemy' who might be a plant (he allowed her to sidle along during court discussions), he also knows she went after XW's girl (he was happy to see XW having a love interest and might settle down in marriage)
Did I miss something in the plot?
Was it because he wanted to control her father ? But he knew she had cut off all links to the family ..
I have watched LLTG, TTEOTM, SOKP and LYF. If you loved LLTG, TTEOTM and SOKP, one thing you should probably be…
:-D Thanks .
I LOVE Bai Lu too .. So I had also tested out "Only for Love"
I strategised and decided to move away for a while from Period - let SOKP feelz have its full soak in - thus put MJTY on hold after 2 eps .. just as it's heating up, and decided to finish this modern one with Bai Lu first.
It should only increase the taste of MJTY ;-p when I return.
It's also my first Dylan Wang.
Dylan Wang is in EVER NIGHT 2 - I kind of made a face and got bugged at that because I had just finished EVER NIGHT 1 with the inimitable Chen Fei Yu (only he could DO a Ning Que .. you cant separate the actor from the role ;-D ). And even though I was dying to know what happened afterwards I dropped out. Tooooooo MAAAANY cast changes. Ridiculous to do that since so much loyalty was built up and invested in the fantastic cast of EVER NIGHT1.
So this would be a good way to check out Dylan Wang without any comparison with anyone .. He is SO high on the MDL fave actor list I got curious.
LOL .. I couldn't get past the first Episode.I guess some of us get an instant allergic reaction to FL character…
In that context I looked up your watchlist : we matched in ~ Twenty One - Twenty Five ~ Flower of Evil ~ Strong Woman Do Bong Soon ~ CLOY ~ It's Ok Not to be Ok ~ Mr Sunshine ~ Extracurricular ~ Itaewon Class ~ Kingdom ~ Nevertheless ~ Squid Game
:-D Not too many matches (11 / 132 of the listed shows) BUT enough to have some connect :-D

Thank You. You know what that's the magic of Asian Drama .. we have this 'type' that sets our teeth on edge and the type that pulls us in.
It gives us insight into our own personalities in a way. I think therapists could use Drama as a way to help clients 'get' a view into how their minds and emotions work and its triggers :-D
ZLH earns his recognition through his acting. For good looks, many people have their own preferences in their…
OH ABSOLUTELY cannot be moved or interested in 'pretty boys' actors who CANNOT act.
I have dropped SO many shows because even thought actor 'looks' great .. it's a BORING watch ..
If I wanted good looks only I'd flip through a glossy mag with MANY pretty faces who don't open their mouths .. because if they did .. Ummm .. I'd shut the mag LOL
Goodness he is a dripping-dropping-dead hot walking $ecksPot .. one only needs a close up of his face for the ventricles and auricles to go out of sync and buzz about - ROFL
He might give the current LeaderBoard Male Actor a run soon??
He's only reached no. 22 in Monthly No where on the ALL time List of 100
PHEW!!!! He's up at No. 11 on weekly ..
I see / predict he will have a meteoric rise .. the crazy rate he is churning out quality drama since 2020 .. his debut year ;-p

Thankfully I discovered Bai Lu.
And she has my heart in a grip
GOT IT.
SOKP is a show I plan to rewatch to catch LOT of the stuff I AM SURE I missed.
It had so much of plotting layers.
THANK YOU so much <3
I did finish the show.
I must have missed something?
Whose scheme?
This was something she came up with on her own when she felt betrayed by her Xue clan. Right?

Exactly .. it is a serious downer, when your brilliant and super talented actor is 'wasted' in a mediocre script :-( or badly directed drama.
One more scenario is when a SUPER role play by an actor does not live up to his.her promise in a different drama.
One is not sure what happened - he/she was badly directed .. or the actor's skill is limited to that ONE role / type.
Strong / powerful actors can often swing EVEN a LOW GRADE script and carry the show. So it's their talent which turns things around for sure ;-p
Also some actors are VERY discerning about the PD team / scripts they choose .. and so repeatedly come off with flying colours.
Thanks .

ZLH is HOTTT AND superb actor ..
There aren't many 9 or >9 CDrama shows on MDL
plenty on Kdrama .. even 10 I think?
