He’s from ancient love poetry.

I love how GQF appears at the bookstore and rescues Pan’er from Mr. GAO’s indecent advances.

One should ask why he’s even there and in such a timely manner?

Since I’m a hopeless romantic, I can only imagine it’s because he understands her all too well. He knows she would most likely seek Mr. Gao out to settle business, and for her safety, he’d have to shadow her.

Yes, GQF is one to keep!

Love him calling her Mrs gu. Such a cute endearment. Reminds me of Mrs Darcy.

Three minutes into ep 17, and I’m SCREAMING in delight with a big grin on my face!!!

Love your hierarchy list and excellent insights on Pan’er’s situation. 😀

I hear you. Just enjoy the ML/FL part as you are now. I do that myself in many other dramas also when I couldn’t stand uninteresting sub-arcs in storyline.

She isn’t that bothered by her pariah status as much anymore until she finds herself falling for GQF. Her outcast status basically means almost zero chance of being his official wife due to his high status, that they can’t be matched as she’s deemed by society to be way out of his class range. Her high status was stripped due to her father’s crime (believed to be framed). She was crying not so much of her pariah status but more of the fact that it would be almost impossible for them to be together in the open as a couple. She was mourning over what would have been a beautiful relationship but could never be materialized, and this truth saddened her miserably; hence the flowing tears.

The comic parts are great!! They are all so funny and most parts are purposely exaggerated with in-your-face silliness. It sort of reminds me of Stephen Chow’s comedy style.

I don’t care for Ouyang either, and to be honest, I simply can’t wait for GQF to crush this bug.

Awesome!! Laugh while watching the show and then come here to read the comments and laugh some more. What a win-win! What’s to lose?! So therapeutic…I can cancel my June sessions with the shrink. 🤪

@resvLR well, well,well… you got to be ADOS lover… since you obviously saw the hidden message. 😝😉

Yah, I must be sick in the head because she’s pretty even when her eyes welled up and overflowed with tears while confronting GQF.

During the tea challenge in ep 16, GQF gets to see Pan’er from outside the audience circle. It’s one of my many crazed-over scenes by the director/scriptwriter.

He’s never seen her true ability as a tea connoisseur at a master level of everything tea related.Up until then, he’d probably thought she knows enough about tea to run a tea house with a strong business acumen and is trained on serving tea with some feminine spins. At the challenge, she proves herself highly skilled in tea arts, and he’s enchanted. GQF is falling deeper with our Pan’er’s essence with each passing day !! 😛🤭

Sorry, I’m just too excited I have to lay a claim on Pan’er as OUR beloved heroine.

Thanks for the link!😀

Hehehe, troublemakers will come raining down on you, claiming you’re insulting them for their different view. Tread carefully :)

PS. Just between you and me, They have no taste .😜

OMG!! Ep 15 & 16 are sooooo amazing!!! Throughout the entire 2 hours, I was smiling, and funnily enough , feel PROUD of our Pan’er at the same time!

She’s so clever and wholesome.

This drama is going to be one of my top favorites of all time. There is so much to praise about it that I don’t know where to start anymore. Such a heartwarming and feel-good show.

I don’t believe there’s an official English translated novel for this. The drama is based on a classical Chinese play/opera.

@Mir yup, don’t want to miss even one second!! That’s how good ADOS is to me. Sad it’s only Thur, Fri, and Sat now.

It is rude of me to demand I WANT MORE, And I Want it NOW? 😛🤪

My mom would be so disappointed in me for not showing proper manner and etiquette on MDL. 😱Oh well… 😀

We all love the cute scene where GQF head rolled on the column. Yes, he’s a great actor because he even added the lip-biting, smile suppressing, eyes rolling act to show how smitten he was with Pan’er. How adorable is that from the Little Devil whose name alone strikes fear among the common people? Too adorable…

So many positive things to say about the drama. Just to name a few right off my head: strong and smart FL, nice scenery, authentic settings, soothing color grading, beautiful costumes, enjoyable storyline, women empowerment, slight humor, wise ML, SIZZLING chemistry, great acting, awesome directing, and it makes you root for the pair!! 😀
