I agree and many of my friends that watched utp as well. The leads had amazing chemistry that didnt really need kissing. It wasn't necessary. Their hand holding, hugging, gazing at each other etc was enough. You know there's an amazing chemistry between leads if audience don't need kissing scenes to feel it.

I just began ep 7 so I'm not there yet.

That's a good analogy. I just thought it's old money or "royalty like" bc of the traditional architecture they have.

I think his younger bro is a pretty mature and understanding and considerate guy. He always tried to mediate the awkwardness and help out zs.

No. He showed his drivers license to sy and it says hes born 1991

It is confusing and messy. O just take it ad modern royalty bc sncient royalty you can adopt a kid in the ssme lineage and call them their son or daughter.

Anyone wondering their ages, Zs is 30 and Sy is 26

Honestly, some scenes has flashbacks of oao. Also, some scenes are a bit cringe to me but i graze past that bc of oao. Like a lot of things dont make logical sense but I ignore that.

Are all SC's siblings fully biologically related to him? Like from same parents? Bc the younger bro, the 14yr old, talks like he has a living and breathing dad but he also calls SC's mom "mom"

His family is like a modern royal, so many traditional rules and protocals. Just as suffocating and rigid. Probably old money. My mom said to never marry into these kinds of family, no matter how rich they are

I feel like he's proven his loyalty to his wife and the kind of man/husband he his in the past 2 years he's gotten popular. Also maybe his managememt pressured him since many ppl aren't happy with it. I know he was criticized when there wasn't any kissing scenes with Yangzi.

Ik he doesn't want the throne, but he would be the perfect candidate, considering the ones left over.

Im on ep 3 of Fae. I'll go back to oao one day. Just not enticing to me rn.

Honestly this kingdown was going to be a down fall either way. Not every king is lucky to be Kangxi who has a great grandma to help him. This little king is inexperienced, timid, stupid. Sigh, and too many evil selfish ppl eyeing his throne. He doesn't have enoigh power to keep or control his throne or people. In a perfect world, SC should've been the right candidate to rule.

I put a haitus in Oao, stopped at ep 4...on ep 7 rn, forcing myself to power through this in order to watch Fae. Honestly, am a bit bored with the slow pace, but enduring for the leads. I'm more excited now for Fae, but I feel like I should this first as it will hold more significance and meaing when I watch Fae, knowing their tragic past life

I like Liqin, but I realized her acting isn't as good as I originally thought. I couldnt get into any of her roles so i can't get attached to anything she acted in. On the other hand, I rrally like Seven Tan's acting, from her crying to her smiles, it's all so natural.

The trailers were captivating, especially that song (but the song wasn't even in the drama). I think it became popular bc XZ was in it. I haven't found any recent dramas of Liqin that I like. I felt like after Princess Agents, her choice of drama or acting kinda downgraded. And I would put her as one of the better 90s actresses. She really doesnt fit the cute role. She over exaggerates too much to the point it's just cringey. She needs to stop playing these sha bai tian roles.

China has a mass production of dramas, but there's really only a few great ones a year.

Late reply, but bc of lack of budget they didnt do a wedding. But it's inferred that they will get married in the last scene when LY said she can manage the whole household, which included the financial part. Which can only happen when she marries into his household. Also, on the novel, theres a few side stories that talks about their maritial life wherr JX eventually gets pregnant as well

Production quality isn't good bc of limited funds. They didnt even have enough funds for the wedding. The inside joke of this drama was that all the production fund went to LY's costume attire. Ml has about 30 or so different attires, while fl's costume aren't as nice. It's a known fact that the storyline is just soso but it's the amazing chemistry between the leads and the casts' acting that saved the drama 🙂

I think the old king was nearly dieing and was reminded of his old loyal friend (LY's father). So it's like giving face to LY's dad, the king shortened his sentence and set him free. Also, LY ìs a real historic figure and he did go to prison and was released but it wasn't until decades later by the successor (old king's son).
