i wasn't expecting much when i started this, but its a solid watch so far. i like how the fml and ml relationship isn't magically fixed. even though the fml is slowly trying to understand the ml, there's this tension and misunderstanding around them yk. the fml is slowly unravelling the web of lies she's unknowingly trapped in but omg can't wait til she finds out her father, brother, and master aren't all they seem. also could've done without the adopted brother falling in love trope, but hey these writers can't let it go i guess.
Wait till they show the whole backstory. Her life is very sad!
i definitely know it’s gonna be tragic. ngl i’ve been putting off watching this drama cus i heard it’s very sad. but im so glad i started it, definitely deserves the hype.
i usually don't watch xianxia but omg i loved it, solid 8.5/10. the chemistry and tension was off the charts, the plot was interesting, and the cinematography was just amazing. also ost was just too good, can confidently say it's one of the best ost of 2025. i hope lu yu xiao and hou ming hao end up working on another project together cus this was just fantastic. i will miss my babies ji bo zai and ming yi🥹💗💗. definitely one of the best releases of this year!!
spoilers ahead: i love this show, like wow. the plot, acting, cinematography, characters, and the visual effects. love it all!! i love the dynamic between the mcs, we get a little bit of everything yk. also love love LOVE the dynamic between the physician and princess. i ate it up and now i'm hungrier than ever!! it's interesting to see that she doesn't hate him as much as you would expect her to even though he's helping the villain keep her father in a coma. they have this angst, this chemistry. it's so fun to watch. like i want a show where the mcs have this kind of dynamic, any recs?
Can I just say, the freaking wardrobe in this drama is insane!
i heard that zhao lusi is her own stylist and makeup artist in this show. ooh she ate down so bad, we need her to style all her characters from now on. also im pretty sure there hasn't been a single outift repeat so far. i hate when shows say characters are like filthy rich but they repeat outfits like it doesn't make sense 😭. but this show is doing a great job, like a round of applause for zhao lusi 🙌🏽!!
on episode 11 and oooh that fucker zhou zhen yen got me stressing. her parents still piss me off, yk for people who abandoned their daughter and neglected her later in life they sure have a lot to say about morals and righteousness. i rlly like the sister her story a lot, i love her and the sml together. at first i didn't quite like her character but it's nice to see her and xu yan getting closer and kind of reaching this kind of unspoken understanding.
spoilers ahead: I just finished the first 4 episodes, and all I have to say is that zhao lusi's performance is amazing! her acting feels so natural, and you're never confused about her character at any moment. she portrays xu yan really well, especially the micro-expressions, just wow. also, xu yan's family pisses me off. at first, I thought the sister didn't know how unfairly their parents treated xu yan, but it seems like she just doesn't care. like, idk why she's mad xu yan changed her last name, like their parents literally abandoned her, and the stupid dad tried to stop her from getting a college education. not to mention, xu yan almost died because her dad forgot about her during the gas leak scene. is the sister being serious? why is she genuinely confused that xu yan sort of cut ties with them? xu yan's family is already stressing me out because i know they're gonna get xu yan in trouble one way or another. also so far in the first 4 eps, we saw snippets of the male leads character, i'm interested to see how his character develops, because in the trailer he looked like he knew that xu yan was lying and he was just playing along. overall, i'm really excited to watch the rest of this drama.
watching the first 5 mins of ep 1 and damn she left no loopholes in her elaborate lie. omg i'm excited to see how it goes, kinda wish her lies aren't unraveled.
