I like the face-to-face meetings of the leads here. It gives the ML more screen time than in the novel. It's a well-used scenario, but fun to watch nonetheless.
Episodes 7-8 didn't disappoint. Again, the script deviated from the novel, but it's all positive. VERY entertaining. I thought the cinematography and storyline had a Disneyesque quality: the filming of LBY with the black cape (a repetition from previous scenes) from low to the high angle from the back makes him look like a Disney character: intimidating, intriguing, and foreshadowing. The real voice of FL added to the fun and childish scenes. I feel she made it very believable and entertaining to watch. TBH, I enjoy watching this drama more than reading the book. Although I laughed sometimes while reading, the drama brought out more of the comic element by providing not just the regular rom-com but also sophisticated irony, contrast, etc ... The director gave it a vibe of Disney's Cinderella and "Sense and Sensibility".
I'm so happy that the drama is picking up the pace now and the story is getting much better ,,, but I have to…
He is supposed to be "inhuman" according to the book. I hope that he will soften up because he's supposed to after he got engaged ... with her, he's supposed to be soften.
The cinematography at the Lantern Festival top notch. I enjoyed the introduction of our other male leads as well.…
I like how he uses angles and far-away shots before closing up... like at the beginning of ep5 ... really good cinematography. The way he does it builds up tension.
Just finished eps 5 & 6. As predicted, those who left early ... :-) They changed the novel in ep 6. It's amazing and so much more entertaining than the original version. Very fun to watch. CSS is perfectly portrayed. She's 14, and excited to see her first lantern festival ... you need a talented young actress for this role. Very believable ...
Again the build-up for the leads to meet is perfectly done: very subtle. The cinematography looks amazing. Big-budget dramas have enough money to make a huge difference in making the book come alive.
I just rewatched some of the details in EP1 when LBY and CSS met. I thought it was very well done. There was more…
The old lady who fetched her said, "If your parents loved you, why did they leave you behind?" - the acting here is enough to show that CSS also asked this question many times herself. She had no answer so she couldn't respond.
Why doesn't he open the carriage to see her? - this is part of his characterization. It will be clear later on that this behavior is typical of him.
Why does he feel intrigued about her after the uncle told him that she's an unruly girl without parents to raise her? I felt that he already felt the connection to her here when he rode the horse to the edge to see her carriage being driven away and said her name. The connection is he is also an orphan growing up without parents ... she dares to be ruthless to her great uncle --not too many ladies dare to go about it so calmly ...

No offence, but why you guys over hyping this drama... atleast watch 10 to 15 episodes before judging weather…
No one should be limited to their expectations and praise of any drama, especially if the praise is not offending anyone. However, name calling like "trash" should be taken out as it is offensive to others. You have to realize there are some fans here who have been waiting for this drama for a long time so they should be allowed to post what they want to say.
I completely agree I dropped it myself. It's just trash.
By using unflattering words "trash" you are insulting the taste of others. I think it's best to say that it doesn't fit your taste/expectations instead of resorting to name-calling. And if you want to be helpful, give specific details why you don't like it so that others who share your taste can learn from you.
