Will the episodes be enough? The wedding will probably take place in ep19. That leaves us with 11 ep to fall in love, solve the pei case, survive schemes, bring her father(?) to justice and live happily ever after. So up till 19 they have to at least disclose the reason he's spitting blood and maybe find who killed his wife?

He would have been a cad had he done that. The ep hasn't aired yet, so I'm sure the preview is part of something bigger.

She said it's ok, and when they got up she didn't demand any explanation.I think it was an accident. She hit his arm while trying to move and he lost his balance.

I think he's right to suggest that deal.He can't offer her a family (since he's dying) and he wants a protector for his daughter. She's more that capable and doesn't expect him to love her. Any other woman would demand his attention. He also tells her that 's all he offers unless her dream is a family. He's still not in touch with his feelings and it's a good thing since he can't afford to be emotional, especially with his daughter's future at stake

They didn't know exactly what would happen that's why it took them so long to foresee it.

So the kiss was an accident and she just brushed it off? No wonder he's angry with the marriage proposals

Question for the cdrama gurus. They keep mentioning that the FL is 17. Does that mean we won't get a kiss?

I love the fact that she still doesn't like him. Not hate per se, just enmity. There's no, "oh I 'll make it look like I hate you, but drool whenever I see you". And he's good at admiring without looking smitten.

She can't be Yuwen's daughter bc he was away long before the wedding.

I thought the same. He looks earthy and not skinny and overly pretty

At first I was a bit skeptical about the ML. I'm so used to commanding, fierce MLs -sometimes almost theatrical- that I didn't know what to make of him. Now, I truly appreciate the normalcy of his acting. It's realistic. People don't go around looking like villains, and so far the drama relies on the plot and acting and not on overly used tropes of side eyes and brooding moments

How's the heat index?

I'm officially hooked. It's so fast paced you don't get a boring moment. They don't like each other, and even though he appreciates her, she wants none of him. I like how problems are not dragged over lots of episodes.

I don't think it's a silly change. On the contrary. "I will make you the most noble" implies she only has to be married to him to become the most noble. But "I will help you" means she has to try. He is not there to give prestige, just because she's married to him. He is the stepping stone, the base to stand if she deserves it. He's a constant assassin's target, his wife died of poison and he is feared but not respected, as a royal would be.

That was a weird ride. Plot went from 0 to 100 in less than 4 episodes and I don't know what to expect. I think I'll keep watching, though I can't decide about the main leads' ability to act well. I mean, the spoilt sister so far behaves like a short drama queen, the FL is reserved even when in pain and the ML is not as fierce as he's supposed to be. We'll see how this plays out

In reality? If yes then there won't be any romance(obviously) and if there is it will only be vaguely hinted at(I hope)

This! I love her cutie pie embodiment but I also wish to see her flesh out roles like MJTY! She's so talented it's a pity to be stuck with one typecast for ever

The fake beard! Hahaha!

Ep 29. TM says "TM can't be changed" which has a double meaning. Fate can't be change but also he is TM so he can't change. That's why he had to kill himself at the end, for fate(TM) to change. Little snippets that make all the difference when you rewatch

I can't get past episode 5. The impromptu beauty competition at the end of the episode felt like fanservice for the actor and I found it very distasteful.
