This drama is so serious, and yet super funny. I don't even know how to describe it. Everybody looks very serious as they hardly smile. But then their conversations and actions are out of expectation and subtly funny making the whole thing delightful. It is the small little details that make me laugh and keep me watching. If you are thinking whether you should start watching it, I would strongly recommend YES, you should. It's a wonderful drama! I'm really enjoying it.
Started this drama a few weeks ago. After 4 episodes, I stopped temporary because I was distracted by other dramas. Came to this one again when the others ended, or waiting for new episodes. Didn't realize what I have been missing. This is such a good, intriguing drama. Glad I came back to it again. It is serious, and yet also funny, especially for Lu Zhao Yao and Qin Zhi Yan - their opposite characters make this drama so interesting and super funny. I really enjoy watching it and don't know how many times I have laughed out loud. It is not stupid type of funny, but serious type of funny. This drama is such a delight.
The wedding scene is epic. The wedding gowns for both groom and bride were out-of-this-world, so beautiful and elegant. Having said that, 5th Prince is such a bastard, wedded 2 women on the same day. Feel like slapping him.
Love the character of Princess Yong Ning, so open, playful and innocent, unlike many of the princesses in other dramas, spoiled, scheming, cruel, selfish, and arrogant.
I don't understand why this drama was being rated so highly. It was supposed to be a rom-com but ended up being…
I feel the same way. Dong Fang Shi died because he tried to save the woman he loved but who didn't love him. This act alone made him more humane than the ML. Had BuQi disappeared into oblivion, maybe fewer people would have gotten killed. If Chen Yu hadn't died falling into the well/pit, then maybe Xiao Yi Feng hadn't died too. In the end, the ML and FL were both happily ever after, at the expense of everybody else. Sucks!
I do not care how others say about the ending or how cruel is the ML towards the FL, I ship them hard, ship them…
Agree that the ML and FL are attracted to each other again and again. My only concern is, how is the 5th Prince going to redeem himself? How the 9th Princess's heart be broken all over again when she finds out the truth? Just the thought already pains me.
@chinesedramafan: How did you like the color scheme from Qin? I like both equally b/c they are helpful for the…
Considering it came out in 2015, Chinese dramas have improved greatly since then, especially in terms of costumes and makeup. Yes, I liked Nirvana in Fire (1) a lot, better than the sequel. I like Hu Ge. He's one of the actors with a lot of depth. I like the plot and scheming with a lot of twists and turns. I only fully understood the whole drama after the second viewing. I like the simpler unadorned gown worn by Mei Chang Su; it really brought out his aura and uniqueness.
Love the way Peng Xiao Ran plays the character of the 9th Princess. She is so pure, so beautiful, so natural ... For once, I fall in love with a FL instead of a ML.
I love the ML. I think what he did was due to his unclear mind about the death of his mom and brother. He was…
Whatever he maybe thinking, he has committed an heinous crime in betrayal. Plus he uses people, especially those who trust him. He is irredeemable. I'm so angry at him!
I'm at episode 12 and can't bear it longer, so painful to watch. 5th prince is such a despicable man, likewise for Gu Jian. Feel like strangling them both!
Oh my god, it's so painful to watch that her whole tribe was slaughtered by the person she loved. She lost everything. Imagine the hatred within her, must be so painful and overwhelming. The FL has played this role amazingly. I have never watched this actress's dramas before. I think I should start noticing her.
He refused to see Hao Lan for the last time. Was it because he didn't want to say goodbye? Or was it because he…
Yes, that's true, being remembered was probably his ultimate intention which was also revealed somewhere in the conversations. Just that, it's sometimes hard to fathom some logic behind certain actions.
