yes that's why I said objection to the character?? not the actress.
because again, she's sort of a head-turner in the drama, but the other characters like her sister is as gorgeous as her but she doesn't have the same effect to the PEOPLE in the drama.

Like a standing ovation to Zhao Luzi but not to Dilraba or Bai Lu? (and before you think this is negative again, these actresses are beautiful in their own way)

Damn! No wonder she looks so familiar it was her. I grew up watching "Frog Prince" lol

In addition. the "people" you were referring was us? while in my comment, were the "people" in the drama.

Before you react to my comment as negative, read carefully. I told you she is beautiful, but it's the 'villains' don't look villainous enough. Well except that princess.

(same comment above)

Before you react to my comment as negative, read carefully. I told you she is beautiful, but it's the 'villains' don't look villainous enough. Well except that princess.

Again, the "everyone" I mentioned were the people in the drama itself!

This show is awesome though some scenes were too long I had to ff.

Anyway, my only objection is how everyone is just effin' gorgeous. Like how everyone is praising the FL as the most beautiful and elegant when the other side characters are as beautiful as she is. I mean the FL's sisters, Liu daughter (archer), and the poison expert! I agree with the elegance because she can carry herself with such grace, but her appeal to me is a bit toned down due to this.

EDIT: before you come to me because of my original comment, i should clarify that the 'EVERYONE' I mentioned here are the PEOPLE/spectators in the drama and my reaction is how the side characters look in the drama. again in the drama! I don't care about these actresses because I'm not fanatic.

The absurd animated representation of the FL playing guqin got me! 🤣🤣
Like we're supposed to feel that sadness and overwhelming emotion but then that monster thing fight is just 'monstrous' 🤣

yes. Most FL on the dramas become childish brat, rude or narcissist. Atleast she isn't

I was kinda waiting for her to apologize for that too.

Anyway, I think it gets better. She's just actually straightforward when talking it does sound mean.

Yes. She wasn't even rude. I mean, that's the way she talks to everyone not only to the ML. Well except to her mother in-law and their master where she's more careful with her tone.
What I like about her is she doesn't make a drama out of anything and when pushed to a corner, she doesn't become helpless. I hope she stays like that til the drama ends even after she acknowledges her feelings to the ML.

Watching 'My Wife's Double Life' for the time being, and so far so good and it's fast paced. The FL stayed good at fighting and cases were resolved immediately.

Ok this was so much better than I expected. Atleast FL maintained her skills being a badass thief. Unlike other dramas where FL started so good in fighting but after 1 or 2 episodes they just dropped that part of her character, specially when married off to the enemy (ML).
I would have to agree she's a bit mean to the ML, but the ML deserves it too with his dismissive attitude towards her.

As for the plot, it's fast-paced and cases were solved consecutively (though I think it'll be interrelated)

Can't blame her. He has been ignoring her and not even acknowledging when she serves him 😅 He didn't even try to assist her getting out of the carriage when they went to the temple.

Yikes! It looks like this is going downhill too soon?

I put this on-hold after Ep11 so I can binge watch after several episodes are up but based on comments, it seems its getting messy! Ep16 already aired and the FL haven't recovered her memory yet? sigh! I thought she would have it atleast after half of the episodes but it seems that the writer stick to the palace drama instead of the assassin plot.

Sigh, this started so good with Yuan Zhong Xin and Wang Kuan's chemistry (not BL).

But I'm on episode 7 and its too draggy already.
It's really boring without Zhong Xin and Wang Kuan together in a scene or well you can add Ya Nei too. But the others are just a bore. The synopsis said that Zhao Jian is a natural leader, but I don't find that to be the case. She's such an arrogant overbearing girl who looks like in her mid thirties. She's too competitive. I wish Wang Kuan will be the section leader bec he can balance their group really well. The other girl is such a cutie, but what for? The brawn, he attacks mercilessly an an injured teammate. They really don't need him because most of them know martial arts.
I'll try more 3 episodes.....

LoL that's exactly what I thought! You can see my comment there too 😅

🤣 Yes and just saw Ep11 and it gets worse. The powdery patches are pretty obvious on the ML and FL. Their makeups are so cakey!🤣

I can't remember what episode I dropped BLover but I will give it a 2nd chance when I have nothing to watch. And yes one reason to pick it up again is the ML and the 2ML 😍

Done Ep10. So far so good, but the subs are bad from Ep7-10. So I will rewatch it on YT (where subs are better) when new episodes are posted.

I noticed that ML (You Shou) looks so tired or lacking sleep in this drama as compared to his appearance in Heavenly Fox. Maybe the makeup too, but he's still gorgeous!kk

Don't believe the ratings on each drama.
This one is good so far! Watch it 😉
As for the subs, watch it in YT but they release episodes slower than MangoTV, so as of now, only 6episodes but the subs are better.
