I've finally finished watching this one. I can't remember when I first watched the first episode but it was at least a decade ago.

I've read the cast list somewhere and they give some background on the characters and some spoilers. The child is not hers but her dead brother in law's son. The kid was registered under her name. I don't know of the entire backstory but that's it.

I'd say there is a pretty big chance Jiang Pei Yao to play the FL bff in her next drama.

Ao Rui Peng look very dashing and elegant. It's good they give him a more mature look. He had a very boyish looking persona in Blood of Youth.

The ML comes off as very ridiculous, unserious and comedic. Frankly he is overdoing it, I feel like his character in the King's Affection is more appropriate behavior for a scholar who is also a member of the royal family. I guess they felt adding some comedic flare to his character could soften his pedantic and bookish attitude. A little humor is fine but they are overdoing it here. I wouldn't take this guy seriously despite being the top entrant in the scholar examinations.

Nothing wrong with GZY character, I quite like how his character developed in the drama. I'm glad we have directors like Edward Guo who are not beholden to lead actors and their demands. This faux scandal is just performative acting from fantards and haters trying to create unnecessary scandal so their pointless little demands are met.

Wow 2 beauties guesting, PXR and Gulinazha.

Another CEO drama 😞, I think the last time I enjoyed or got interested in a CEO drama was Secretary Kim half a decade ago. I was interested in seeing LSY in a fusion historical drama but the plot in the modern timeline is so overdone.

My most favorite character ever of Yang Mi is as the Fox Queen and High Goddess Bai Qian in TMOPB. Hopefully this new fox character will be as memorable.

This drama and dramas similar to it like Bloody Romance usually go over the heads of certain viewers.

So many male eye candy here, even the main villain is very handsome.

I give this a 7.5 and that's being generous. If not for the high production value, I'd score this lower.

Obviously because he has many hit dramas.

This doesn't look like a character Yang Zi would play. FL seems to be a resentful and bitter character.

Yup this was an exceptionally harsh rating especially for a drama that was well received in China and had a lot of memorable moments. I enjoyed this one as well and looking forward to the second season.

LOL I agree. I couldn't recognize that she was Bai Xue Ying until I checked her MDL page. She looked rather plain in TLP and then in MJTY, she sometimes reminded me of Liu Yifei.

She looked really pretty and seductive in MJTY that I couldn't make the connection to the plain and meek character Bai Xue Ying in the Longest Promise.

Which actor? Gong Jun?? I would love to see Ryan as ML with my gal Bai Lu. This role seems to be right up his alley.

This has to be one of the most well casted drama I've seen in recent years. Everyone did well in their roles. I especially like the fact you really don't have an annoying or obnoxious filler character here. I will never understand why Chinese audience did not like it as much. This is an exceptional drama. Dark, foreboding and a very emotional work.

Tiger and Crane was a letdown after watching MJTY. For ZLH fans I suppose.
