OH GOSH!!!
I hope one day you do.

BUT NOT NOW!!!
I beg you NOT to go anywhere near it while savouring this !!

That one DAMAGED me for a LOOOONG time ..

Let's have fun here for now :-D

<3

But yeah keep it on your list ..

My Profile Page DP continues to SAVOUR that drama ;-p

ROFL

yes I agree .. NO ONE would AGREE to this if he asked them : his family - her family - Lan Xiang

WHAT A BAD ASSS

I love it when dramas throw us a Bad Ass in the guise of an otherwise 'noble' person
LOL

Love that the drama pulled off the contrast WITHIN the character

LOL

Yeah it's an open discussion of a LIVE AIR show .. so no need to spoiler tag EPISODE NO. is a good enough WARNING of SPOILERS

;-p

LOL

Cant wait to see Lan Xiang put him through hoops and loops and a "beating" to straighten out his view on life love and justice ..
I hope Drama makes this RIGHT and finds a way to make us believe WHY LX should have her heart 'beat for him' f it does at all .. till the end ..

I am a sucker for "Red Sleeve" sort of endings too if it is the MORE plausible outcome
;-P

Yeah .. it was a bit clumsy in execution and story telling .. Had to pause to figure it out

True .

. the last time a well crafted, SOLID historical (with a STRONG interwoven romance in the plotting) I watched were:
~ Serenade of Peaceful Joy
~ Rise of the Phoenix
~ Royal Nirvana

and the Kdrama "My Dearest"

I love your use of the work diabolical LOL

TRULY diabolical move by LJQ

I wanted to cry for him - poor earnest scholar with a heart of gold - so so sweet, warm, trustworthy, but dull (so in a sense you could 'love' him like a bro or a bestie .. no hot heat for sure LOL .. a dash of 'bad ass' always helps .. and THAT LIN QI was BEING A GENUINE BAD ASS Ha ha ha ha .. striking with the underhand Decree from Emperor .. Does this sort of smell like LLTG ... LOVED that one also .. for the roundabout way the ML got the FL

Oh NIIIICE observation .. I'd forgotten that

EP 26

eeeeeekkk nooooo

I hope the Drama makes Lin Qi get HIS COMEUPPANCE and EARN his place in her heart .. if at all .. She could grow to RESPECT HIM .. but LOVE .. hmmm ... make that a HIGH HILL to climb for him ..

Puhleez .. let's enjoy this Drama and be stressed .. have 21 more eps to keep TAUT and TENSE ..

I AM SO ROFLing on this !!!

BRILLIANT COMMENT - medals for you @Omega17

Ha ha ha ha ha ha
OH HOW I HOPE that he's truly 'kicked out' with his bedroll iunder his arm and sleeps in the study for months and months

YUP

LOVING THIS SCRIPT and DIRECTION and choice of actresses for these roles ..
Xing Tang was MY FAVE .. STELLAR actress .. her micro expressions were SOMETHING!!
My heart ached for her when her lover as snivelling

TRUE VERY VERY VERY painful to watch Scholar Han .. Ufff
Beautiful scripting and directing .. tender and complex

lol
that's what the sibs were teasing him about in the post beat up scene .. Lin isn't any less smart .. he'd lined up San Meimei to walk in just in time - enough beating to satisfy the Old Master and not so much that his mom and sibs have to faint or have a fit or pretend agonising stomachache LOL

LOL

You got the genre wrong .. It's a period set drama .. New to C Drama and its genre I think
:-D

It wasn't against her will per se .. she was being filial to her parents and is also a WISE one .. taking the pragmatic path always .. until now she hasn't yet FELT BUTTERFLIES or has had ANY ROMANTIC FEELINGS .. Staying alive has taken up ALL her emotional energy

EP 26

yes from what I gathered,there were 2 incidents

The Shen and Lin Family were FINE until 6-7 or 10? years ago .. remember the OLD history ~ subdue the princedoms advise that Grand Secy Lin and Grand Secy Shen gave to the Deposed Emperor which did not get highlighted when the New Emperor usurped the throne and the Deposed Crown Prince went underground.
This was dredged up into court and that's when Grand Secy Lin decided to sever the connection with Grand Secy Shen by siding with the NEW grand Secy Zhao to save their LIN family.

Well that's how I am thinking .. But let's see .. we will have more clarity going ahead .. of this 23 years and 6 years thingy ..

YIKES!!

You are so tortured .. but still watching .. LOL
