I didn't say they did, I said I liked the novel and since things are changed, I *personally* don't enjoy the start of the drama

please show me where I said anything about the director

it's not the fans, it's the industry in China. if an actor is blacklisted because of a moral crime, they must be censored out of media or else it can't air.

the subs are so bad, having her dad call her 'ms longevity' is just comical

okay, so don't read the novel if you want to enjoy this, they changed so much just in the first few episodes. the novel is great and now I regret having read it first since I wanted to enjoy the drama

been reading the novel (on ch 330 now) and if they adapt it well, this should be a really good drama!!

the way they kept cutting from the wedding so we could watch LJX mope around his creepy wedding room made me so annoyed!!

totally agree, I was skimming the last ep thinking 'surely LJX's scene will only last like 5 minutes' nooooope

ep27-28: this is just wild, having a known and admitted murderer just sitting in their hall smirking and smug while the family falls apart because of her words. what was the scripwriter thinking

has Yining running off yet again all 'don't tell Third Brother' ugh girl come on

half an episode wasted on the boring Sixth Sister romance subplot and then the other half...

probably added that storyline to be a red herring so the viewers think First Madam killed LYN's mom

might have been a translation issue, maybe it meant she died from childbirth complications - as in, never recovered post-partum

agreed. also he had a plan, he wasn't just running in recklessly, he's working with a whole group of skilled strategists and martial artists. he just left behind things to take care of her *just in case*. I'm mad his servant gave her the box, that letter wasn't for her to read unless he died.

even so, it goes too far, just have the script say the shop was going to be for something else, not charity...

exactly, it's all about shifts of power and status throughout the Chinese dynasties

in one of the flashbacks, pretty sure she said 'I am the daughter of governor song yingshan and ljx's fiance' and then another scene about ljx said that he turned in song yingshan after being engaged to his daughter, so that all fits

where he gives up the property that was going to become a free clinic for the poor so she can open a makeup shop is just eye rolling

scholar families historically looked down on military families, and both looked down on merchant families. it would be shameful for a scholarly son to pursue martial arts only

I've been going along with the pampering and spoiling so far but episode 17....

plenty of cnovels have that set up - the main character transmigrates with all their memories from modern day, etc. just most of the cdrama adaptations skip over that part.
