In Bound by Sin; FL approaches ML because he is interested in him, and ML takes the opportunity to do research on his family's past, but the revenge part is not very prominent in my opinion, it remains in the background of the series.

If you are looking for a short Chinese Republican Era drama that does not include revenge I guess these might be the ones:
Grab Your Love (2025)
Don't Forget Me (2024)
Bound by Sin (2025)

Does anyone know the humming song that plays when leads get close to each other?

I am on ep 5. Currently no romance.

She looks like Jeonghan (SVT) in this picture.

Yes

He is both handsome and can play various roles. Hope he can get more important roles and gain recognition.

Because what a stupid reason for revenge in both series.

On Ep. 3. He is kind of playing his character from Motokare Retry again.

You're welcome! I hope you enjoy watching as well.

So far, it's one of the series I've enjoyed watching recently. Apart from the lead characters, the supporting characters are also colorful. They are funny. As someone who finds the romance in Chinese series and recent Korean series superficial, I haven't watched a satisfying romance in a long time. As for the kissing scenes, there are two, but only lip touching. But it is one of the rare TV series that can make you feel romance without kissing.

Thank you! 🌸

Ah I see, it can be. I had higher expectations too. It has its good points but it could have been better of course. I had added Tales of Dark River to my plan to watch list but I didn't notice that it was related to this one. I hope it will be better. I hope you will enjoy it once it’s released.

And as sad as i was about tang lian's death, they couldn't convey the emotion in his death scene so i still thought he would come out from somewhere and

...regained his strength, everyone was talking about "He's even stronger than before, he got his old strength back", and he even surpassed Lei Wu Jie on the ranking list, but in the fight scenes, he only took out his weapon. Of course, he doesn't have to fight because he's the main character, but if they're going to emphasize that he's so strong, they shouldn't have been content with just showing his weapon.

Exactly. I also couldn't see character development. I thought they would slowly get stronger, but after a couple of lessons, they were suddenly able to fight against their strongest predecessors with ease. And they easily entered the best list. Since it was Wuxia, I had high expectations, but most of it was just talking. Even palace intrigues were so primitive like you said. That and also when Xiao Se ...

Happy birthday! Hope for a full recovery and wish him a healthy, peaceful life.

yeah, me too

If it's suicide (Actually they don't said it is suicide they just said it is not murder) why are they still investigating. Normally when they found a suicide note they directly tell it but as far as I know, in this case they did not tell it is a suicide note at first and didn't specify the exact cause of death. And if they are still investigating why family didn't let autopsy. Means it is not homicide or they know the reason. Maybe it is accident but if that's so don't they have to do an autopsy? If it is suicide why don't they directly say it was suicide, but they say it indirectly and are still continuing the investigation? Means there is something else to consider. Besides he had plans with his friend for lunch. It confuses me.

What I want to say that confuses me is that if it had been a simple case of suicide, it would not have taken this long to make a definitive statement regarding the exact cause of death.

I don't know at first I thought it is suicide but all the uncertainty, explanations started to sound strange.

Also, if I remember correctly, Ziqi's headband and bracelet were both made of the same thing: Goddess Mei's hair.
