It’s nice to see her getting mature but I can’t help but feel sad for her loosing that spark and enthusiasm. Her heart was broken too soon and she didn’t have enough time to really settle in the first relationship she had. As her mother mentioned, this relationship ended when it was still in a honeymoon phase what makes it even more heartbreaking.

Tbh FXW was scary in this scene. He literally lost control and I had this weird feeling like his mask of a nice and composed boy slipped showing some darker side of him.

He gives me creepy vibes. I wasn’t a fan of the first boyfriend as he was quite egocentric but oh lord this one is even worse.

The scene in restaurant when he lost control was also pretty off putting. Let’s add stalking. Oh, and when he was telling her and her mother his sad story about his background I found it extremely manipulative. He has some very obsessive tendencies towards her.

People who appear to be nice and kind but have this darker and secretive side are the most scary to me.

The OST for Legend of ShenLi is a masterpiece!

Am I the only one who thinks he looks like Yang Yang's older brother? I'm watching Eternal Love right now and in some scenes the resemblance is uncanny!

Is it even possible? Or we gonna have the same situation like with Lost You Forever and they will split it into 2 seasons?

It makes things even worse, I have no words which can describe how awful person that old b* is.

Didn't read the book and tbh I am avoiding to know what type of ending it's going to be. I prefer to be surprised (even if it's going to end with myself laying down and crying a lot).

Enjoy!

She's just a spoiled brat who's trying to get the man she can't have. That's how I see it, there is no love involved in this situation, at all. The infatuation, at most.

Is it possible that Ruoyao is not even Jiang's daughter but the result of the affair between Shuran and that painter? That would also be a good explanation why Shuran was so willing to kill him - to protect the secret. Only those two know that they slept together (that's what I assume).

Additional point: Ruoyao is also artistically talented (playing the qin). Sus?

I am also wondering who is REALLY using who in this duo. I am starting to believe that Yurong is no less psycho than the princess, just smarter and more cunning.

I couldn't stop laughing on his pouty face, it's adorable. The switch between "deadly serious and dangerous" to "cute and pouty" is so smooth when Jiang Li shows up.

Romance is definitely on the slow burn side with (I suppose) some angst but we have some veeery nice moments from the very first episodes. Chemistry is really good between both leads.

I watch it on a daily basis when the episodes are coming out and, oh lord, do I regret that? Yup, sometimes. There are cliffhangers and I expect more of them in upcoming episodes. Do I have any intention to stop? Nah, I love it ;)

That’s the question I had in my mind for a while. I will wait with you for someone to answer, I’m really curious

I couldn’t agree more, WeTV is slaying with contemporary dramas this year. We had Amidst a Snowstorm of Love, then Will Love in Spring, now Tale of a Rose. All three had the relationships shown on the more realistic side, even if each of them are completely different stories.

Just came here to read the comments and woah, rating increased to 8.8. Happy to see this drama’s increasing popularity ❤️

Duke Su is the only real court supporter the Emperor has (So far? I didn't read the source material but Ye Shije and even Jiang Li's father look like a good candidates for future supporters). It was even directly mentioned by him in one of last episodes when he was worried about Duke's safety.

I guess they were waiting very long for the moment to shake the box and finally start bringing some justice to people who were mistreated by the opponents (right now we are aware of Princess/Chancellor duo, but from the trailers for ep. 24 & 25 it can be easily guessed that King Cheng is involved).

That would be perfect, so we could just jump in to another Tan Jian Ci drama. I would not complain at all :)

Upcoming days: The Legend of Heroes (17/06 confirmed), Follow Your Heart (15/06 rumored)
Rumored in June/July: The Rise of Ning
Rumored in July: Reborn for Love, Fangs of Fortune, Dashing Youth (Blood of Youth spin-off).
Probably in July/August, maybe September: Lost You Forever S2
Rumored in August: Liu Zhou Story
Rumored in Q3: The Princess Royal, Go East, Snowy Night: Timeless Love, Guardians of the Dafeng, Moonlight Mystique,

Just do it! At least try with the first episode, it made me hooked from the very first scenes. If you like the darker type of dramas then it's definitely worth a try.
