This drama is going to have a second season.

Things will drastically improve, just keep watching. His relationship with his family would become the most enviable thing ever.

Are the teasers for episode 27 and 28 out yet? Episode 26 ended on such a cliffhanger.

With the way the drama is set up around the male lead, his relationships with the supporting characters are well developed. He has a loving family, lord wei as a father figure, female friends, male friends, advisor to the grand princess, great relationship with his boss at work, etc. If he didn’t have a romantic relationship, it would have felt incomplete. Besides, the female lead barely appears in the drama, so It’s not like the romance is taking valuable screentime.

It didn’t happen out of nowhere though, the ML developed a crush on the FL from the first time they met, and it’s clear they admire each other from their interactions prior to the kiss. Besides, this is not a romance drama, so their relationship wasn’t given a lot of screen time.

The amnesia plotline makes for cute interactions between our couple but it’s too dangerous for Fan Yue to be without his memories in that place, so I hope it ends quickly. He has already gotten hurt twice now.

She is so adorable. I would love to see her independent development and how she and her sister become closer. All the female characters in this drama are so unique and well developed in their own right. In other dramas, some of them would have been written as villains.

All the eternals sect are so despicable wtf. And to think they act so self righteous is hilarious. There is no difference between Kunlun sect and the demons of cold spring palace.

Episode 26 cliffhanger is brutal.

The Xu family is hilarious. I enjoy their shenanigans a lot.

I love how everyone has adopted “equivalent exchange”. Even Lord wei is saying it now lol.

Xu Qian is a professional liar. Lol. How tf haven’t they guessed that he is no3. Apart from Jinlian, no one else from Realm sect knows he is no3.

Poor Xu Xinnian, I can’t believe his family forgot about him. Lol. They are so funny.

I miss her too. She brings out the silly side of Xu Qian.

Huaiqing? She has barely spent 5 minutes on screen together with the ML.

The best part of this drama is the relationship Xu Qian had with everyone, his uncle, aunty, cousins, his friends, the princess, and especially lord wei. I always smile while watching their interactions. The supporting characters are so well developed.

Yea, Douban score is not a metric for a good drama, besides it can be heavily manipulated by both fans and antifans. Iirc tteotm had a Douban score of 5.2.

Wait..the jade mirror now has ear buds. Wonderful. I want one so bad. I wonder what the next upgrade will be.

If you don’t hate romance in female centric dramas, why should it be any different in male centric dramas? Male leads are allowed to embody a wide range of flaws, and fans readily understand, excuse, or rationalize their behavior. In contrast, female leads are rarely afforded the same grace, and their imperfections are scrutinized more harshly.

One day we will talk about the unnecessary vitriol female leads get from fans in male centric dramas. This drama wasn’t adapted from a BL novel, so wtf is hetero agenda? Romance is unnecessary? Why exactly? The male lead has experienced family, friendship, enemies, why not love? It’s also an emotion. Besides the romance subplot is given the least screen time and the female lead appears for less than 5 minutes per episode, so what exactly is the issue here?
