I really REALLY liked it. Both main lead nailed their role and personality wise, I loved how playful they were.Also,…
Yes I too am enjoying the complexity and fleshing out of the SFL and SML that has been done here .. I am especially full of pity for LC .. It's also interesting for me to see the Ning King to be so ruthless BUT totally broken up by the daughter's plight ..
LMAO ~ oh you bet, how does the writer and director expect the audience to develop even ONE SHRED of empathy for…
UPTO EP 14 ~ be-warned of SPOILERS
And on top of that to be paired with Ren Hao, who IMO is really managing to hold attention EACH time he is on screen, is blasphemy .. Poor actor .. I have no idea how he even performed ~ actors need to be able to 'duet' well drawing each other's best out ..
He definitely found his footing well in the role ~ just how it's falling on me .. in fact plan to check him out in other dramas when he has a prime role ;-p
So the Qi Min & Qi Luo till death do us apart loyalty is fantastic and will cause me heartbreak cause as of now it seems he has a throbbing heart all pumping towards Qi Luo .. His protection of brat could be from 'pay-back' for being rescued several times .. he's kind of uptight in that sense.
I'm sorry about the princess' trauma but she's such a spoilt brat I can't find any empathy for her. Now they've…
LMAO ~ oh you bet, how does the writer and director expect the audience to develop even ONE SHRED of empathy for this "spoilt brat" ~ IMO it's an awfully acted role .. and a more talented actress would have interpreted the role better and aroused some feelz in us.
She has this snappily snap way of talking like she has a few loose marbles and hasn't grown beyond 4 y.o. ~ we see behaviour like this in pre-school ..
Are you enjoying this drama?Finished?I had dropped this drama in the first or second episode .. I came back to…
😂
I too enjoy misunderstandings because it sets me up with the tension of how will they clear this - the moment of realization...
The one and only reason this drama made me split a vein and left me repulsed was the FL - the way she essayed the role.. The way the role was probably written.. Infantile - and it absolutely made no sense to me how Li Xian character was AT ALL into a person with a personality like that.
It was forced and I didn't see it.
Although I didn't watch beyond 2 or so eps..I did FFWD and swooped in and out a bit...realizing that the rest of the characters and story of the Drama was very engaging and done so well.
FL for me was the FLY IN THE SOUP - a delicious warm beautiful soup you are dying to taste and then this DEAD FLY is floating right on top.
Eeyew!!!
Along with BOF this makes top of the REPEL LIST of dramas that left me with a ugh feel.
LMAO - you couldnt have phrased my thoughts better.I had written of this actress forever after seeing her in this…
🤣🤣🤣
Believe me when I tell you that after the shock of the FL role I became wary of any drama that listed her as the main character : I'd see her on the cast list and RUN.
Labeled them "not interested".
So didn't watch or even bother to check Ashes of love... Even skipped LYF.. After seeing her pop up (although in that it's the ML which had the stronger repel factor for me - apologies for those who enjoy his "acting"). 😅
It was purely Li Xian which made me take a quick peek at FP.
Unbelievable how captivating her role and acting is in this.
In conclusion it goes to show that often it's the screenplays and directors that "create" these characters and either craft them well or underdone.
Of course the BEST OF THE BEST talents will often know how to spin a role even when the script is weak or the director not very skilled.
That's when you watch dramas whose stories you couldn't be bothered with BUT the roles played by the actors are etched in your mind..
It's also interesting for me to see the Ning King to be so ruthless BUT totally broken up by the daughter's plight ..
You must be new to Drama to not be aware of it or recognize a 'hanging' end ;-p
I am at VIKI drops pace .. mainly cause I like the subbing and of course advt free good print
Thank you ;D

Oh then let's do some drama watching sharing thoughts then.
I LOVED SECRET - Rewatch drama for me. Done twice
I've used that earlier.
But I don't want to watch on laptop.
It's Cinematography is made for the big screen - am relishing that aspect a lot.
The almost placid pace in the last few eps (because they were not difficult to predict) has suddenly begun to swirl into a eddy....
Cortisol waves are splashing about..🌊🌊
The end of this season is nearing and can see how the cliffhanger is approaching; that's going to give us ulcers waiting for the second season.

Why is Viki such a sadist to stop with the double episode weekday drops?

The tales that Jiang weaves are about to tie him up ...

Well I'll take that as a compliment.
Thank you.
Yes if the drama has worked hard to work in the subtlety with details I LOVE slowing down to take it all in.
These sorts of dramas also reveal SO much depth ans layers on second watch too
Wu Lei at 18 does so well
What a surprise that is.
I ALMOST DIDNT want to watch FP given how revolted for life I was by FL in GGS ..
