By A-Liners, they mean A-List actors.

Yes, in 13th episode.

According to my rough calculations, we should be receiving Express Package on either the 2nd or 3rd of June.

By the way, has her father really died?

I also paused at episode 13, and just to be on the safe side, I’ll resume tomorrow—once episode 19, the fated reconciliation one, is released.

Thank goodness—it didn’t fall into the tired trope of ‘divorce, followed by a rekindled love story, and a last-minute reconciliation’. That narrative arc has been repeated so often, I now find it utterly distasteful.

The Express Package will be available from the 29th of May, granting access to all episodes at once—completing the drama’s full release on that day.

I believe we’ll be getting Express Package soon.

It’s the same for me. I don’t mind a bit of angst, but the problem arises when they take it too far and drag it out unnecessarily—it starts to feel more exhausting than emotional. Thank God this drama didn’t take that lane, as I’m loving it and don’t want it to become distasteful because of this.

I was worried the writers might overdo the drama by making the leads go through an actual divorce, only to reunite them in the later episodes. I really can’t stand that trope.

Historical C-drama writers seem incapable of leaving out a character harbouring unrequited love—it was bound to happen in this drama, too. Haha.

It’s great that they aren’t overstretching the conflict.

I came across the relationship chart by accident, so by the time Liu’s feelings were revealed, they didn’t come as a surprise. ._.)

How is the romance in this one?

I’m unsure what to say, as I paid little attention to her coiffures, haha.

Based on their hanfu, it seems Tang dynasty to me.

We’re getting two episodes a day until Thursday—nice, but why not the whole week?

I could be mistaken, but I have a lingering sense that Liu Mo may harbour sinful feelings for Ming Tan. Perhaps it’s just a passing notion, but I can’t help wondering—has it become a trend lately to introduce characters who secretly covet those already married, haha?

Third episode.

This meagre one-episode schedule is truly dampening the enjoyment of the drama. I sincerely hope they return to airing two episodes a day next week. A single episode feels far too little—merely a drop in the ocean.
And when will they finally introduce Ke Ying’s Yun Yi? I’m genuinely surprised by the delay, and it leaves me wondering what role she’ll ultimately play in the larger narrative.
