"Heard" should be qualified with experience. In TLB she didn't act like Chen QianQian ... she won a Korean International award for her role. You should not let netizens' opinion affect your judgment ... should watch and decide.

All of the things that you described is about directing ... the director determines the mood, not the actress! Having read the novel, I think WRTW is entertaining. The novel has a lot exaggerations ... if it's all serious, no one would believe it!

Chapter 40 is when he came to her rescue ... 41 is when she helped him pull out the arrow with the string that she made. This part of the novel is in the trailer.

A new translation for his/hers perspective on when they met! Scene from the book in the "Translated Excerpt " in the Discussion section.
Warning: it's funny ...

Perfect actor for this role! I think actor for this role needs to have a very intense look. He also needs to look young too. So they picked the right ML and FL for this role: age, looks, and personality are perfect.

A new translation of the flute scene from the book in the "Translated Excerpt " in the Discussion section..
More coming soon ...

I think there will be some palace drama. The way Chinese Drama works ... they only know one way to do things ... Aside from their love story, there is some royal family sub plots

You can read the 3 epilogues to find out about the marriage

It focuses on the crown prince and his dealing with them, the 3rd fiance, ...I forgot what 3rd one is about. It wasn't interesting so I didn't read them carefully.

It's not Minglan ... I didn't enjoy Minglan, but I enjoy this story.

There are 3 epilogues ... telling what happened to the characters ... one of them mention about their marriage ... but it's not the main topic.

There is an epilogue ... it was mentioned that they were married later on.

I really love the voice of the actors themselves. It's not perfect ... but it's so much better than the sub ... it goes with the person's character like when CSS said "I will not listen to you ... " ... like a real rebellious teen talking.

Yes, the FL supposed to have timed traveled ... That's why she's so different from other girls. She was a physics/science major so she can build things ...

He likes her from the Lantern Festival. When they met again (that's where he got shot with arrow), he felt that his fate is sealed. So he likes her first. She likes him but was resistant because she was afraid to lose her independence.

I like this book ... it actually has a lot of meat as opposed to just romance.

I feel that she is more expressive than he in the tragic and dramatic section in the trailer. We will see.

I explained some of the complex relationships in the "Recent Discussions" translated excerpt. She was engaged to 3 guys and rejected all 3. However, she returns to Ling Bu Yi at the end.

I agree .. WRTW changes too much, especially the palace scenes and the ending. I think this drama will also change to accommodate the ML's more screen time.

You will love it ... I think they will remove the time travel section. They will start out building up characterization of both leads quickly as both actors seem to have equal role (in the book she is the lead).
