Omg exactly, you get me haha! But I didn't even notice the similar filming locations since its been some time since I watched BoY or DY. Haven't watched BR yet.

So finally another rational viewer, who is also just simply making observations and commenting the similarity in both dramas...which aren't necessarily meant to promote those dramas or those actors. But beware, the delusional, card-carrying fandom stans might find your comment too😅

I don't really consider it a legit love triangle since there are no real feelings between the ml and the sfl. The proposed marriage was supposed to be more of a political alliance. And a few episodes later that marriage plan (and I think that potential love triangle) is effectively cancelled. If you want to know who ends up with who, I can spoil it a bit

You're just grasping at straws here, so you resort to calling me a loser but you're the one repeating the same wrong assumptions (I don't feel like i'm the loser here🤷‍♀️). Shouldn't the Recommended dramas on this page be removed? If I mention Sword and Beloved, does that mean I'm also banking off of CY? If you have issues on how this website works, bring it up with mydramalist. Otherwise keep being delusional and stay pressed 🤭

Using or taking advantage of someone is malicious, which is what only delusional, toxic fans imagine I’m doing.

And last time I checked this was mydramalist website and not a MLC/CY fandom page. Is that what your community is? A delusional, toxic fandom where etiquette only applies to others but not to them?

Omg thank you I'm finally talking to someone rational😅 I just hate being misjudged (and taken for an American 😅) more than anything lol. But it's fun to rage bait sometimes, especially when it's with a delusional fangirl/fanboy🤭

It’s just an observation about a previous drama I saw because of similar dynamics, what kind of promotion is that? You keep twisting it into something malicious against your giegie. Then by your definition the Recommendations on this drama page also promotes other dramas and banks off of MLC and CY. Have you complained about this to MDL?😉

I don't get why you keep insisting I'm an american and an LHY fan (as if this is a legit attack) but since your misconceptions are so ridiculous, it's just funny to me😂But it probably feeds into your delusions that I'm rude and you're justified. Also, how is it you're so concerned about LHY and yet you call him nugu and disabled. Like girl pick a struggle 😂

Are you sure you're not high or delusional? So fandom etiquette only applies to your fandom and not to others? Sure I get why my comment can be annoying to you giegie stans. But my comment was harmless compared to your rude, ableist remark and disrespect to other actors. And those dramas can be compared since they're in the same genre, hence its one of the recommendations to this one.

And how would I know what LHY said? I don't really care since I'm not his fan. Or maybe you're a LHY fan because you quoted him yourself😂

What fandom etiquette? I was commenting on the drama but you keep making it like it's your giegie CY vs some random comment on mdl😭

And don't talk to me about etiquette when you made ableist comments. It's disrespectful to those other actors and to disabled people. Btw my pfp is from a Snapchat filter and I'm from a SEA country. You're just embarrassing yourself you keep making stuff up😭

omg you're the one who keeps harping on about BoY and the other actors, whom I've repeatedly said I'm not a fan of. I don't care if they get hyped or not from my comment. And you even went so far as to make an ableist remark and hating on those actors for no reason. Maybe you should look at yourself first, when you're the one attacking random strangers in the comments and putting down other actors just to prop up your fave. Its a good thing CY won't ever know he has such a toxic, spiteful fan

Did you not read my post, did I not mention CY's character? It's not like my comment had nothing to do with MLC. It's funny how riled up you are when I'm not even a LHY fan, he's not even one of my fave actors, but you just assumed it prematurely. BoY is even one of the recos of MLC. Why do you toxic fans always think everyone is against your giegie? Maybe you should take a page off of Li Lanhua's book and stop attacking people for no reason and move on?

omg chill? People compare dramas all the time, get used to it. And I didn't even say anything negative about the drama or CY. I even like that dynamic that's why I mentioned it. What an annoying, toxic CY fan

my only issue with this is that its too short! is there a petition somewhere that can make this a full length drama? cos what in the cuteness!

I'm on ep 5 and the dynamic between the leads Li Lan hua and Fang Duo bing remind me so much of the dynamic of the leads in Blood of Youth, Xiao Se and Lei Wu Jie. Cheng Yi even reminds me of Li Hongyi sometimes. Or it's just probably me.

I was surprised that I enjoyed it a lot. It was an interesting story with an unexpected twist ending. But I disagree with some of the comments about the FL here. Was the FL character necessary? They said the character wasn't part of the source book so no, her character wasn't necessary (probably added for the censors). Was the romance between JS and YMQ necessary? Also no, the bromance was bromancing anyway. Was she an annoying, useless, damsel in distress? For me, no. This is where I don't get the hate against her. I liked her spunk, her bravery and she was also very helpful when it came to solving the cases. The hate is probably from those that saw her as "getting in the way" of the bromance. But I liked them as a trio.

+ I really enjoyed the mystery and thriller part of the show. While the mystery part was somewhat predictable at times, it was still entertaining to watch how they arrived at solving those mysteries. And also, how they managed to progress the larger palace mystery until the end was pretty good, it made me want to watch the next episode.
+Acting was overall good, although I feel like the ARP works best with a boyish, happy go lucky role like in BoY. I didn't really feel like he was this hardened soldier who grew up in the army.
- One of the main disappointments for me since its a huge part of the show and I've seen so many rave about their chemistry, was the romance of the leads. While I did like how they were a great match, both were smart and kind, trusted each other and worked together well, with no misunderstandings and such. But I just didn't feel the romantic chemistry, even with all the intimate scenes. Sometimes it felt too cheesy or even a bit cringe esp when they act romantic right in front of everyone's salad? Not to mention they repeatedly had the leads be interrupted when they're about to kiss or be intimate. It was fun the first time but they used it too many times. Idk, the romance sometimes felt unnecessary. I even liked the chemistry of the 2nd leads, Yan Li and Princess Ning, better and looked forward to them more than the romance between the leads.
- Didn't like how some of the cases were resolved, which were too convenient or easy but that's understandable. At times it felt the characters were too preachy or self righteous. But by the ending, I didn't feel like Shen Wan was able to really achieve her original goal of clearing her father's name. Or maybe it just felt rushed to me.
= Overall entertaining mystery thriller but the chemistry of the leads was just lacking to me and the romance aspect of the show was not engaging at all.

Exactly! That’s why his mentor keeps warning him to be careful. And also why RSB and LJL still work as a couple🙏

Does she deserve LJL? Now that’s a different discussion. But I just wanted to point out her character’s motivations might be deeper and there’s more depth to her than just saying, that’s how she is .

And she’s kept saying this to LJL, that he doesn’t fit into the Rong husband mold (which is I think why she also likes/loves him) but she’s just being realistic while he’s idealistic (another difference in their personalities maybe). Hopefully their dynamic improves in the last stretch🙏.

The mess from the last few episodes aside, ep 30 still gave me more understanding of why RSB has been cold to LJL and her motivations for pushing him away. My take is that she’s kept her distance because I think after the non-wedding between her and LJL, she decided that they're not meant to be a couple. She wants him to pursue his career and them being together would only hold him back. She also has to prioritize her family and the business which might interfere in their relationship. Even if he explicitly told her he was greedy and wanted both. So the romance seems unbalanced (as so many complaints here), not just because she’s a cold character or whatever but also because she doesn’t want to pursue a relationship with him anymore, hence she keeps pushing him away.

But since partly the reason why she went to the capital is because she can't let go of LJL, I'm hoping to see her finally give in to her feelings and fight for LJL. While the last few episodes had me wanting, esp with the story, I still find myself excited for the last few episodes and wondering how it'll wrap up.

Thank you haha! But yeah I get where the complaints are coming from. There are just some who have a specific romantic dynamic that they’re looking for. But (hopefully) I feel like it’s building up that the payoff will be worth it.

And speaking of, OMGGGG I just saw bts clip of a spicy scene between the leads🫣 i cannot freaking wait to see that🫠
