There’s one cute detail I noticed, when jiang jing rui held ah li’s hand, she removed her hand and told him “men and women should not touch”, but then XH has held her hand so many times, carried her and even given her his clothes and she is so happy to oblige…their slow burn romance is everything.
I get that Fang Fei said she was fine with being Xiao Heng’s pawn and she told him to use her but it is still…
I feel like she has used him more as a “pawn” actually..so it’s funny to see him call her a “pawn”. Literally from the beginning, she used him to get back to the Jiang Family, and he has been helping her along the way since then. They are more like partners atp.
Is the main plot focus too much on FL/ML? Do ML/FL share equal screentime? ML/FL are Arrogant types? Any Love…
The plot is female centric and focuses mostly on the FL and her revenge so far. The ML is the cold, aloof and powerful type but he is soft towards the Fl, and they have great chemistry. There is no significant love triangle, the Fl has other guys that like her but they don’t stand a chance currently.
Is this something you know from reading the novel? Otherwise, how do you know that she was not having the affair…
It’s all speculations for now. She and the painter were lovers, then her father separated them and she got married into the Jiang family. Like you said, maybe she was pregnant already so she was hastily married off.
Afterwards, he contacted her again and she cheated on her husband with him, then tried to burn him alive. In the drama, it seems that she really liked him at one point, so if she went that extreme, maybe she was trying to hide something.
Either Ruoyao is the painter’s child or the unborn child she accused the real JL of killing is the painter’s child.
The problem with changing the Princess' character and plotline in the drama is that her actions make less sense.…
The princess’s antics is exaggerated for sure, but I think the way SYR is written is really good. It would have been very easy to make him a caricature villain, but him being conflicted, paranoid and regretful also makes sense, because all things considered, XFF was a really good wife to him and perhaps there was a time he loved her at least before his greed for princess’s power and influence took over.
As the audience, we don’t actually completely sympathize with him because the way he dealt with his wife was unforgivable, but the way he is written in the drama make him a more layered character…in fact one of the best written in the show. Atp I’m curious to see if he will go off the deep end with the princess or attempt to redeem himself somehow.
Tbh the whole time I was thinking, why did Wan Ning think that SYR would admit that "Jiang Li" is actually his…
She is psycho and doesn’t think things through. SYR tried to dissuade her so many times but I think she didn’t mind SYR getting backlash if she “wins” against XFF…I think she has serious insecurity issues towards the FL atp.
He's simply not the right person to play this ML character. He is a fine actor as he played the characters in…
It’s your opinion but I couldn’t disagree more. Infact, if any other actor had played the Ml, this drama wouldn’t have worked so well. It’s highly Female centric and the ML has fewer scenes, that means the ML character needs to have really good chemistry with the FL (for us to care about their slow burn romance) and at the same time, be really charismatic and impactful for the audience to even remember him…and WXY is doing that excellently. For instance, Ye shijie is supposed to be the second ML but sometimes we forget he is even in the drama.
Also, although WXY is more than a decade younger than the FL in real life, it’s actually so hard to notice because he has a really mature aura and great chemistry with her.
If the drama is not working for you, you can just drop it though…no point wasting time with something you aren’t enjoying.
imo I could tolerate a s2 if we're giving each important arc its time SPECIFICALLY time for the leads too 😭
“Tolerate”? …I’ll be so happy if we get a season 2! They should focus on the main leads’ married life, and include lots of scenes of Ah Li calling XH “handsome” 😭
I think it was really cute when JL was invited to the banquet the Jiang family prepared for her, she turned it down, but when Wen Ji came over to tell her Duke Su was inviting her over…she went to meet him immeadiately. I miss their banter and interactions😩
I wonder if Ruoyao is really a Jiang… her mother is really cold…cheated on her husband with her ex lover then tried to burn him alive to hide her secret.
Ah Li to XH : “You look handsome when you are angry”…lol. I love the way she teases him. I hope the next episodes will have more of our couple..I miss them so much already.
“How can a mean, pathetic man be her obsession”…. Read SYR to filth my girl! so proud of her. She has achieved what she wanted and let go of the hatred.
