Another one of those pulled out of thin air nonsense "controversies" written by AI. Also, the actress using a stunt double in combat scenes, especially knowing her bad back history, is a controversy now? Looks like just all those other bs hate incidents targeted at BL.
Wdym he's poor? He's finally got the girl here after several prior dramas, lol. But yea, they gotta do that season…
Well, of course there's gotta be a separation arc, isn't there always, lol? People are just speculating about usual tropes with what little info the S2 synopsis has. In any case, I still have big doubts about og cast returning (mainly because of BL's bad back and agency switch issues) and about S2 being filmed in general, let alone worry about plot speculations. Sad it's years off until we hear anything.
One positive thing I've read about it recently is that S1 managed to attract lots of investors and it paid off, it was a commercial hit. Douban score also is pretty decent compared to more overhyped dramas, so maybe financial side of the project won't be a problem for S2 either. But the leads have to return because of this as well - they were the ones who were the main attractions.
An underrated drama. I hope future audiences will appreciate this masterpiece.Poor WXY... I don't think he'll…

censorship ...its not director that cut the scenes ..its censorship board
People keep saying censorship. But what about other dramas that aired on the same national channel having livelier romance scenes? Are they counting kissing scenes? Did they waste the quota in the middle of this drama so there was no room for one more kiss at the end? Personally, I don't think romance in this drama is even fixable with extra kissing scenes. It just lacks several things on a fundamental level.
Also, I guess I'm way more tolerant to domestic slow paced scenes, my guys just wanted to skip all the "dead fish" romance & domestic scenes. They also pointed out something that made me ponder - this drama looks like it was written by several different people, with how pacing and plot quality fluctuates. FL's trauma and schemes by one person (main plot), boring ass romance by another, side stuff by a third. Was there actually a group of writers here?
I've been rewatching it with my family and knowing the plot there are so many dead end characters' arcs here with worst possible endings - the stupid assassin boy, marquis's sons, ML's merchant friend+Cangbei princess, SFL...So many painfully obvious opportunities to make something great with these characters, but nah.
Also does Bai Lu have debt or is she under duress. She pumps out dramas constantly it's sorta insane. Has to be…
Some whiners keep bashing her acting skills, but what's really going on is overexposure. She's been working non-stop indeed. Last year she even got a proper vacation after filming this drama in who knows how many years, because her health started deteriorating. Her agency was working her to the bone. Her contract expires soon and she's quitting them, and has her own agency prepped already. Though I don't really think it's gonna considerably slow down the rate at which her dramas come out, she's a known workaholic and in very high demand. Though maybe she'll finally have a more active role in choosing scripts. Some dramas she's been in had very questionable ones, probably would have flopped hard if it wasn't for her.
It's a pretty good drama, very good production, but a bit overhyped. Personally, I found it quite draggy at times and jokes were a hit and miss. My favorite character here is that quirky guy who always stands with his back to the camera, his scenes were simply hilarious. FL was also enjoyable to watch, though her character is a silly ditz, the actress did very well, she's rightfully on the rise of fame now.
Lol, it's lower than Unveil: Jadewind. Brutal. Though I agree because of overall quality. Douban is like Chinese…
It's all fair. I've a number of such dramas on my list as well. Some were enjoyable and highly rewatchable, but didn't get much public praise. Some I just couldn't see what the hype was about, to a point of considering dropping.
I think I may have missed something - why is this called the first Jasmine? Also while the characters were being…
It's has triple meaning. Mo Li (Hua) - is "jasmine" (flower). Mo Li - ML's surname, FL's name. Mo Li - can also mean "inseparable", "never to part". I've seen a post here earlier also explaining something about this phrase like "giving you the first jasmine branch" or smth. Same meaning. They even had a scene in the final episode with this.
