It might have been a fake bird. I recently saw a BTS of Pursuit of Jade where they showed how they made Yan Zheng’s “falcon” and the the “pig” Changyu slaughtered.

You will be soon disappointed. She will be betrothed to FYX as a concubine.

I don’t quite understand the scriptwriter’s rationale for having ZL go beg TY’s dad approval for their marriage behind TY’s back. It seems OOC for him. I meant ZL has been there since day one and seen firsthand how TY was abandoned by the Fu family. Her father was never in her life. She also didn’t own the Fu family anything. I feel like that’s not a very smart move for the screenwriter to bring her father’s character into the plot that way.

What?! I wonder how trashier he’s in the novel when what’s shown in the drama is toned down version.

One of the holes in the drama 😅😅

THIS! They're so cool about it. I guess the apple doesn't really fall far from the tree.

I feel like the actor playing older A Sen looks a little bit too old for A Sen’s age.

I'm currently at episode 20. I don't think so. There was a flashback to when her mom fell off the cliff.

Me too. I feel sad for her. She might seem like a rough woman. But she actually has a good heart. She might look strong and nonchalant that her husband has a mistress but deep down she’s hurt. 😢 🥲

I honestly have the second hand embarrassment every time she acts all smart when she's just dumb.

Wei Zi Xin was hilariously in PoB. So I know what you mean. To his defence, he played a serious role in Shadow Love. I think his character in this one might have some humorous side.

He’s the spiritual beast (a flying snake) of the FL. He’s much leaner there.

Guys..is this good? I tried to pick this up for the second time. But still could not get into it. I’m currently at episode 11ish. There are some comedic moments I like. But I find it lacking and couldn’t point it out where exactly the problem is. This just lacks the excitement. You know what I mean. For those who have completed this, what do you like and dislike about?

He did state his reasons in one of the earlier episodes. Basically, he saw FTY to be identical to his mother, a strong and controlling woman. He has had enough of his mom, so he doesn’t want to have another version of her. He chose Yake because Yake is submissive and obedient, a total opposite of FTY.

He’s a great actor. I first watched him in Love and Redemption. He’s gained some weight since then.

Oh wow. Such a hateful comment. I don’t see it that way, after they both agreed to enter into a transactional relationship, I saw all his actions as his attempts and efforts to win over the girl’s heart. All is fair in love and war. . He’s super perceptive and a shamelessly funny guy.
I don’t even know why I even had to explain myself to you.

Thank you for the recommendation. Too bad I am not a big fan of modern dramas. Any recommendations for costume dramas?

Me too!
He’s such a boyfriend and husband material. A life with a man like that wouldn’t be boring.

Initially, I didn’t plan to watch this drama, as I am not a fan of the FL’s acting. But I gave it a try regardless. And I’m glad I did. Because…OMG. I fell in love with Xiao Hua Yong’s character! He’s such a flirt! Every line that coming out from his mouth gives me butterflies in the stomach. He’s definitely made for Xi He, only he has the ability to melt her cold heart. I need Xiao Hua Yong in my life, a life with a man like him won’t be boring. He will always find a way to make life interesting.

This is my first He Yu’s lead role drama. I am sure I have seen him as supporting roles somewhere, but I can’t recall. He’s so hot with the cleft chin. I can see that he’s well-built and strong. He could carry Meng Zi Yi with ease.
I’m going to check his other dramas.

A 28-episode drama done right!
I took back my earlier comment before starting the drama that I couldn't imagine HMH romancing 17-year old Ai Mi before starting the drama. I mean, the age gap is obviously visible but their character portrayals convinced me. This series proves that a love story doesn’t need kissing or bed scenes to win over its audience. All it needs is real chemistry, and two actors who know how to deliver lines and convey emotion without saying a word.

HMH slayed Xiao Wu Yi’s character portrayal. Xiao Wu Yi stayed true to his character until the end, sticking to his goals even if it meant sacrificing his life and leaving his loved ones behind. His fighting scenes are so well choreographed.

Ai Mi has a bright future ahead of her. She was only 17 years old when filming this drama, but her acting skills have surpassed a lot of actors much older than her.

I didn’t like Li Mao’s character in the earlier episodes, but I started to like him once he took control and exerted his authority and power. What a character growth! Riley Wang has been playing supporting characters for quite some time. This drama will be his breakthrough. He will definitely secure lead roles after this.

Worth watching!
