Perhaps, With You? It's one of her notable works. It's one of the most popular and well done youth dramas. I really liked it. There was movie adaption as well, but I disliked it bc the characters were poorly portrayed and acting was stale.

I'm on ep 34, had to grind through a few eps before it to get to the sweet spot.

This drama made me realize the hardships of being a Concubine. I don't care if I get to marry into a wealthy powerful household, if it's a status of a Concubine, I rather be like Wuniang, marry a scholar and just be a regular peasant. At least I'll be main wife.

Finally!! Waited so damn long for them to consummate their marriage.

Yea, I assumed they haven't already yet. But it should be soon after ep 30. Before the big angst where she's to be beheaded. I read somewhere that she was pregnant during that time. But, can't be sure since that whole fiasco never happened in novel. I do believe she got pregnant soon after 5th master's wife, Danyang, gave birth. Don't quote me on it since I can't rmb correctly.

If you watched past a certain ep he was going to put fengsi under this dead concubine's name. Who was yunniang's previous maid. She died long ago. So in the drama he does have 4 concubunes as well.

I think it's past ep 30 where they finally consummate

I feel like it's more of her not being aware she's actually falling in love. She's still set on finding the murderer and then skipping town

Well she only went to Ou family to find clues of the cloth/murderer. Who else can she rely this to do but herself? As for the pregnancy thing, it was to take down Qiao to find proof that she did led to the death of Yuanniang. She expected Qiao to do the exact same method of harming yuanniang when she was pregnant. It's just that things didnt go as plsnned thanks to Dongqing. Ugh i dislike that maid

From the previews of ep 31 and 32, i believe once they get over this patch of misunderstanding it will get a lot more sweet. And then angst again, then HE

In the novel, fl is pretty shy and reserve about making love or displaying public affection. While, ml likes to get it on with her quite frequently. To the point where he coaxes her to allow them to make love. Like she says no and he still persuades her and stuff. There are times where I get a bit uncomfortable cuz it's borderline rape. Ok I might be going a bit extreme here bc I'm taught that if a female says no then it's not mutual consent. Doesnt matter if you are married or not. Marriage doesn't give the male privilege or the rights to force sex on his wife. So although im frusterated with how slow paced the romance is, I'm glad ml doesn't force it on fl and respects her decision. He'll take the initiative but allows her to make the final decision. Unlike that Wang guy(2nd sister's dead beat husband) who kidnaps and rapes girls.

That's ok. I have a mom at home that's basically spoiling all for me. She alreadymentioned it before but I thought she was just predicting the plot. I didn't read the novel, i listened the audio book. I skipped a couole hindred chapters. Basically went straight to her marriage and skipped some chpts as her kid got older. It was too long for me to listen to it all. 700+ chps about 20min long each.

Yea. Im just going to avoid her future projects hoping the actors/actresses Ilike aren't in it.

Haha, dw therr are a couple kisses from the previews or leaked vids. One of them looked pretty passionate. It's just thst it's sooo slow to reach there

Omg i didnt know that. Wish you didnt tell me haha

When I read Chinese comments about their displeasure of having the same screen writer from Princess of Weiyoung, I was like uh oh. So, I approached this drama with apprehension. I'll still finish it to the end, mainly for Seven. I usually drop dramas like this 2/3 in to the drama.

I feel bad for 2nd sister, no matter how mean or rude she was to fl, no girl deserves to be married to a dead beat husband that steals and beats her daily.

My god, I'm kinda sick that they keep doing the divorce thing so many twice. Like does this drama really need to be divorced twice, it's redundant and loses it's affect. I like slow burns, but this is too slow man. I get the novel was over 700+ chapters, but past ep 22 and it's only a kiss on the forehead. I know there will be kiss scene later on, but I even I think it's a bit slow paced with the romance. I guess it's different for different dramas, In Under the Power, ml and fl finally kissed aroun ep 28 or so and I loved the slow burn of it bc they had such awesome onscreen chemistry. I was even ok for them to never kiss bc their gaze and slight touches were enough for me. Perhaps, it's like lack of chemistry I feel from this cp. I'm not saying they don't have chemistry, just that compared to Seven's other works this one is slightly lacking.

The Original comment asked in regard to the novel, the drama is different. In the novel, he has more kids, but in drama there's less.

It gets better on ep 7. The way they talk and the bowing are their custom. If they didn't show all these bowing in the drama, there will be critiques from Chinese viewers saying they aren't even following the custom of that time. If you watched Minglan, that drama was even slower bc they nearly followed the custom to a T. Brocade is already too lenient in some scenes such as Mr. Lin or ML saving Fl in the river. If that ever happened in the past, he would be responsible for her and have to marry her or either she suicides to have her reputation remained intact.
