I have only watched up to 21 eps, what I can say so far is that the first half of the drama is good and it got me interested enough to want to watch the next episodes. The main leads are smart and both are quite cunning. There's evident chemistry between the leads. As for the second half, I have yet to find out how bad things turned out with the plot. Also, this is the only drama of Liu Xue Yi which I have managed to watch half-way through, I usually end up dropping his dramas earlier on.

yes

I could usually bear amnesia tropes however the type of amnesia trope used here is one which I specifically do not like at all. How long will Jiang Taohua be manipulated by the 3rd prince? when will she regain her memory? I am currently watching ep 21 but I put it on-hold for a while because I want to know how long this trope will last.

Despite how I had finished this several months ago, his death scene still lingered the most to me. You aren't alone, I ugly cried myself during that scene. Initially he wasn't even my favorite character but that scene execution especially that back hug broke my heart.

I share the same sentiments with you because they are also my dream pairing ever since that ep on KR. I've watched tons of novel adapted dramas and changing certain things from the novel is inevitable. So, I am not surprised if there will be changes, but what I am also hoping for is that those changes they made still do justice to the story.

I rewatched it so many times, it's so adorable especially baby baijiusi part 🤭

well that is true too, especially if the tropes had been overused and there's nothing new brought in

At the end of the day it all just boils down to personal preferences that's reality.

got it 🤭

I didn't think of this, your explanation makes so much sense thank you for your response 🩵

yes which is why I indicated it's not that important but I still figured to ask incase someone might be able to explain it

I haven't caught up with the latest episodes and is still on ep 7. There's this scene during the gambling house where Tao Hua and Shen Zaiye both executed their plan, while Tao Hua was gambling with the heir, they showed scenes of Shen Zaiye speaking up the answer to her "big". This specific scene leads me to question, did Shen Zaiye speak these words aloud that everyone in the room can hear it and if so why didn't this alert the heir she was going against with? if not, how was Tao Hua able to get the answer? (this isn't of much importance but I am someone who likes to pay close attention to details and I just couldn't wrap my head around this particular scene)

I like them and hope they both collaborate in another drama again

Bai Lu's performance in AMA is indeed one of her strong performances so I understand how impactful it is, though I do suggest you give The Legends another try, her role as Lu Zhao Yao is really good too and it's her first ever xianxia role.

I share the same sentiments with you, ep 11-12 is where the real plot is, so it's best to see up to that point before dropping. I enjoyed the earlier episodes as well, I even got to appreciate it more after the revelations.

the title gives away much of the story's focus but you will eventually find out the cause of their FEUD once you reach 20+ episodes

Your review is constructed well and directly gets straight to the point. I like how you listed out your likes and dislikes 🩵

1) somewhere in Asia
2) Lulu and Xiao Xi (I adore their friendship)
3) SOKP (I am torn with this and OAO)
4) I discovered her while watching The Legends, I fell inlove with her acting so I searched her up and immediately watched the rest of her dramas. Her acting on AMA made me even more addicted to her. I created my MDL account immediately after that. She's the only c-actress/actor whose every drama I have watched.
5) I have a lot of favorites but my most would be the sound of her laughter 🍍https://youtube.com/shorts/lebxWgVrKU0?si=zMXIFo7qzgywAu8U

she values each of her roles so much she even included all of them on her socmed bio 🥺

they went with an unconventional happy ending, it was satisfying personally for me but others might thing otherwise.
