When he was pretending to be sickly, I was thinking either the actor is so bad or they really want us to know he is up to no good 😅

All the main characters have a love interest (wife, childhood sweetheart, crush). There are some scenes, but it is not a central part of the show

It was weirdly funny 🤣🤣

Airing in about 22 hours

The story is interesting enough, and I like all the main characters. However, the production and overall look are not good. Also, why did they have to include that over-the-top, cringey, wannabe romantic shot? 😅 Anyway, I'm on episode 3 and I'm strangely enjoying it so far. 🤪 Also, it only has 24 episodes, so it shouldn't have any filler episodes. P.S. I'm not a fan of his magical connection to her. There were so many ways they could have made them work together on the case, but I guess this plot device was the easiest to use and they can use it for comedic purposes as she is a crybaby and he is unintentionally affected by those tears. Unfortunately, I'll probably have to wait until Friday to binge through the rest of the episodes. ☹️

Here is the link to a short glossary about the original novel, if you are interested. Please be aware that it may contain spoilers. I know that there are some differences between the novel and the series, but there are also similarities. If you are interested in the lore/world of the novel, take a look:

There is always something worse... or better. 😅 But in a way, I'm not the biggest fan of the ML either, so I guess it is fine as long as they don't repeat the ep 8 type of episode ever again. 😅 It took me two days to finish it with all those filler scenes. I guess they wanted us to understand how the ML had to grow up while being apart from her, and she got stuck in her ivory tower, unable to mature as she was overprotected by her uncle (speaking of the uncle, I'm not sure if he truly loves her or if he just wants to keep her naive and childish so he can control her). I don't care enough to watch her scenes, so maybe I'm missing something important.

I don't think her uncle cares. I guess he wants her to give birth to a male heir in the future or something along those lines

Don't overthink it. She is just written poorly, and you will never find any logic behind her actions, existence, wants, and needs. 😅😆 (Especially since her only purpose is him, at least for now.) Let's just fast-forward her and pretend she doesn't exist 🤣

I'm not bothered too much as i skip her 😅🤣😂

I know she's in the original material, but I'm saying in general, if they want to write romance, at least make it less cringey. Why do we need to suffer? Anyway, I don't think there's time in this 24 episodes for Liu Feng Shuang to appear 🥲

Word of Honor was based on a danmei novel (romance between men), so it was a censored adaptation of that. While this one isn't, it is a bromance/brotherhood. They had their female partners in the novel as well. But yes, after Word of Honor, the situation for censored adaptations of danmeis did regress, and a lot of shows already filmed and finished are not airing at all

If they don't want to write romance but they want to add it they should just stick to the idea that in those times (or times that the show is loosely based on), people didn't get married because of love and marriages were arranged by families, instead of giving us the typically badly written childhood sweethearts trope. It is weird. Now I need to find all of my male childhood friends; there might be my destined one in that bunch. 😅🤣😂

🤣🤣🤣 Fairy and Devil, I think I watched the first five episodes on mute. Then I started to put the volume up, slowly... from episode to episode. At some point, my mind was filtering out Orchid's voice. That's when I discovered habituation, when the brain filters out repetitive, annoying, and irrelevant noise🤣🤣

I still don’t get it. This isn’t even a danmei novel, so why are they going overboard with this? For some reason, now men can’t have male friends. Also, Ning exists in the novel, so they had to include her. But why do they always make adult women act like children? It’s so strange. They talk like children, act like children, throw tantrums like children… they are petulant and unreasonable. Even the children I work with are more mature and thoughtful than these types of characters, and they are in the nursery 😅🤣😂

Definitely she is a spy but what will they do with her not sure yet 🤔

Same here. I don’t think I’ll miss anything there except for keeping my mental health intact. Also, her acting is just so over-the-top and strange, regardless of the three-year-old’s attitude. Oh, and the dubbing in general here isn’t the best, but hers is a whole new level of bad 🥲

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🫢🫢🫢🫢

Unfortunately, many male-centric dramas feature two-dimensional female characters whose sole purpose is to love the ML without any reason or development (or a life outside of their love). Typically, they are devoted childhood friends obsessing over the ML. 😅😆 If it is not this trope, a girl will appear out of nowhere, and her family/background/ability will be important to move the plot and help the ML 🙃

I think she was a spy in the novel, but she got turned by Xiu, and she worked for him. I'm not sure in this version if that happened, has to happen, or will never happen. 🤣
