I trust you.That meant so much more than "I love you".I just didn't like Taohua's kind of blank reaction to such…
Typical Fl reaction lol. Most of the dramas lose their characterization by beginning of 2nd half. Now the writers have to find a way to fill up plots or shrink existing ones based on no of eps left. Here everything is lost.
GTY's stepmother forced in a concubine after their marriage which Ming Lan accepted as well. ML always complied with the social the norms even if she personally does not prefer them. That's a bit different from FL's who act recklessly just to get saved in by the ML.
Good point with censorships. Although a lot of this comes down to younger audiences who can perceive these historical plots from modern perspective and they expect everyone to be green-green. Even this show currently, ML being labelled red flag in earlier episodes is ignorant of the plot and setting. Maybe people watch for sake of actors rather than the plot. I've yet to watch a drama of even closer quality to that of story of ming lan or NiF.
It would be a real character development if she comes clean voluntarily. But can we really expect this from these kind of dramas?
Do you have rec for more stern ML who does not change?
