I also can't understand. She doesn't think what comes after wedding? Will he treat her well? Or ignore her all…
I get her too .. What subconscious forces and conscious motives drive her single minded pursuit of LC .. It's a volatile mix of power - obsession - desire - jealousy - need to possess and control
Here's the thing .. once she HAS it she may actually grow contempt for him and push him away .. like a used toy / bauble .. OR she may never get over the obsession and it will just get worse and worse where she ends up ABUSING him worse than her father (remember THE DOUBLE's princess)
Agree. Especially Mudan has been divorced once. Some viewers wrote to drop this drama because romance is so slow,…
@U-chan U-chan @heh
I am completely with you both on this .. this looong leisurely playfulness and teasing is superbly done .. HOW INTIMATE IS IT that she can now 'smell' him .. and that he can silently get within such intimate distance of her without her feeling awkward - afraid - discomfited .. They are so shrinking their physical boundaries organically ..
Just began - and already I sense the vibes of a meaty - plot heavy - complex drama with very interesting Grey characters.
Looks like Flourished Peony and this was will go well together - it's a terrible painful wait for FP Eps... But this promises to be strongly engaging as well and make me forget the the "wait"
Anyone else feels immobilized at the end of each episode - the siren song that unspools along with the un-scrolling of the end credits... Because you are still under the trance of the drama's effects... And the ARTWORK of both the title and end is SO classy.. Could watch it again and again... I usually skip these in most dramas - either it's tacky or just plain unimaginative and perfunctory.
The last time I recall playing out credit rolls was for TTEOTM.. The haunting song and once again the artwork.
Aah not to forget the recently concluded TRUNK credit roll - KDrama
Just as I thought the drama was reaching a bit of a plateau and slowing down and worrying me that drama has lost its mythic character, it all speeded up and the dramatic tension is back.
This is one under rated drama. I thought it would be boring but 20+ episodes in I'm pretty blown away with it.…
And after Ep 21 - Shengyi is deplorable!!!
Well crafted role type - and she delivered on the "stupid - foolish - naive" front.. The sort that is MORE dangerous than a truly evil person - because people like her are the easiest tools to use against all the nice people around her
Finished?
I had dropped this drama in the first or second episode ..
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 (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.
'cunning' has definitely found its new masters"
LMAO
yesss

I believe Viki dropped ALL the balance Eps of FP now ..
BUT .. SIGH .. which means we have LONGER more tortuous wait until Season 2.

I like the VIKI subbing .. so I guess I will stick to it.
If US VIKI is also dropping 2 eps per day then no point .. just to see this 1 episode LOL ..
Or maybe I'll succumb and check it out ;-p
In Asia it's upto 22 today (20th Jan)
He gets my heart on fire whenever he opens his lips to drop glistening pearls - worthy of quotation.
In fact the dialogues between Mudan and Jiang are all worthy of framing 😅😂
Aah I see.
I haven't watched that show yet.

Anyone else got a lump in the throat - an ache in the ribs - a pricking in the eyes??
Drama has squeezed out the poignant without making one cringe 🫶🏼💚🫶🏼
IMO
Just thought it was an easier way to catch those who wanted to read Ep 21 comments - without having to "un-spoiler" click it.
I flagged the Ep no.
Those who don't want to know about Ep 21 can skip it; those who do will stop by m🤗
I must have read P&P innumerable times as a teen - was also IGCSE Eng Lit text novel.
AND watched the classic British EMMY Award winning Series with Colin Firth as Darcy!!
Brilliant casting of Elizabeth and Jane
Can't wait to watch this
Beautifully put @Megumi
Watched??
First time I had tears and aching ribs 🥺
Spoilers
The moonlight kite flying...the fragrant flower petals floating down...pure poetry.
It's the FIRST TIME I saw night kite in a drama...
That scene was so beautifully lit and shot!!
Once more the epic Cinematography; blew me a way.
