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…
š¤£š¤£š¤£
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"). š
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..
ā I treat my trash better than how ML treated FL in the early episodes šš¼āāļøā FL is a stalker…
ROFL .. LMAO..
I didn't .. I was so filled with bile after I checked it out years ago BUT I came back for a peak. BECAUSE FP ..
DO watch FP though ;-p This VERY SAME FL is slaying that role .. and this same duo is setting drama on a slow burn fire .. AMAZING AMAZING 10/10 that drama is
Help. I tried watching this show because I like the premise and Li Xian. But the FL character, not actress, is…
Just amazing validation for the singe and burn I felt after watching the role of the FL .. I mean she is WORSE than the FL in Boys Over Flowers (BOF) .. I thought that was the ultimate barf and cringe FL role I have seen until I saw this.
this is...i dont have the words. most cringey FL on earth. i dont see how and why he would like her. not at all.…
LMAO - you couldnt have phrased my thoughts better.
I had written of this actress forever after seeing her in this .. UNTIL of course I saw her blow the roof off in her FL role as MUDAN in FP (Flourishing Peony) - OMG I cannot believe how good she is in that role .. and of course Li Xian continues to shine .. post WLIS
for those who came for romance: dont! kidding do give it a try and form your own opinion but chances you might…
I HEAR YOU .. True .. the weakest part of this drama is the TERRIBLE FL ROLE - and the way she played it. YUP Hu Yi Tian couple was HOTTT .. loved the role of his love interest .. FAR more sizzling .. I dropped the drama because I couldn't handle the FL and her role ant more.
I returned to this page because I am SWOONING over HOW GOOD FP is .. and FL is batting out of the ballpark in the FL role in that.

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..šš
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?
ššš
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 ..
LMAO..
I didn't .. I was so filled with bile after I checked it out years ago

DO watch FP though ;-p

I came back to check because of FP (Flourished Peony) ~ I mean what a surprise that drama is .. My 10/10 currently.
The FL who I couldn't watch at all in GGS (the role she played) IS slaying it in FP. Like WOWOWOW
The ML was as devastatingly good in this as in FP AND in WLIS ..
Li Xian is a top talent in the CDrama world.
