At the end, she said to Shen Yuan "We are like old couples". And that's true, they behaved more and more with each other like an established husband and wife during their "sibling" life. 😆

"Even if he's good looking, his inner beauty(more like ugliness) take over his outer beauty. "

I felt exactly the same, and it was very unpleasant to watch him because of this ugliness.

Thank you! :)

At first I was surprised by her voice and the way she spoke, but later I got used to it, or it got better, I don't know, but it didn't bother me at all. :)

Is it a drama with a happy ending, or a sad one?

uncle :)

"They're not the super passionate, fiery types." I think that they are. Without passion, they couldn't achieve what they have achieved in their life, both of them. But they have also a strong mind and they can control their emotions when the situation calls for it (unlike the hysterical 2ML..)

"when they finally started dating, but no, their chemistry seemed to fade in the last episodes."

I felt the same. And it's a pity, as the evolution of their relationship from "siblings" to couple was one of the main theme of the series, but instead of a rising arc, they flatted that completely for the end.

Yes, it will get better and better.

"He's supposed to be a good actor?" Imo he is a good actor. I saw him in "Are you the one" and this character is completely different, he plays very well.

"But it's sad that we could only witness this cuteness for like 2 episodes"

The director for some reason choose to dilute their chemistry for the last episodes, when they were engaged and became a couple. Yes, they were cute together, but to make believe the audience that they are both in love with each other, it's not sufficient. Their interactions were already very cute as siblings, but precisely, they were supposed to shift from this level. At the beginning of the series, during the cave scene they had more chemistry together than during their entire marriage scene, which is absurd.. And it's not the actors' fault..

"In the end they chose to sacrifice the best parts of the drama, the ones that were more enjoyable to watch: the relationship between the two leads, and the members of the Wei family."

Exactly, and it's a pity, it would have been an exceptionally good drama if they haven't done that. It was still entertaining to watch.

"I think if we got 20 eps of them being brother and sister, the transition should've had the same amount of episodes for me to find it realistic."

I agree 100%

I was disappointed too with the last few episodes. It's a pity, because it was an excellent drama till than.

"She was gravely injured, and what?"

Her injuries were life threatening after she fell from the cliff, it wasn't a superficial wound she had, like with the arrow. At that time, her maid died from exhaustion when she was trying to keep her alive, and heal her.

As for ML's actions, we had two scenes of them together, when he told her what he was about to do. Even is she didn't know every detail, she knew that he was faking these "bad actions", as it was the only way for him to trap and expose the prime minister.

"He has a neverending trail of blood behind him."

I agree. That guy was a creepy serial killer. And that's why they shouldn't have focused on him at all during the last two episodes. Unfortunately the scriptwriters messed up the weight and importance they gave to the characters during the last episodes.

"I agree, the romance felt forced, I don't know if it's because of the writing or the acting, but the romance didn't feel genuine to me"

The writers didn't entirely succeeded in that part, and it's really a pity, because the leads had such a good potential.

"He should have met a miserable end by falling down the cliff after a stab or a shot."

In a Chinese drama (or a thriller), falling down from a cliff even with arrows in the chest doesn't mean that the character died. On the contrary, that leaves hope for the audience that the person might have survived.

So the only satisfying thing for me concerning LJX in the last episode was the phrase of LSY to his father-in-law, stating that LJX was buried.

Very satisfying phrase, but we should have heard it already in an earlier episode..

I agree 100%

I was stressed during the last episodes and I didn't like that the beautiful wedding had a creepy feeling all along because we all knew that the psycho guy will ruin it.
