I thought this would have more of a The Ingenious One dynamic between ML and FL but the FL is really underutilized. And then she only appears more because ML's logic has left the chat.
Episode five was heartbreaking after an already shocking episode four. It's so good to see Xie Jia Yu react to the horror that is happening around her appropriately instead of keeping her stuck in one place of character development for way too long like some other FLs.
It would have been more interesting if He Yu character was not the Crown Prince and Xi He ended up choosing him…
Agreed. Or at least one brother is a more serious competitor. It's just all so convenient for the crown prince.
I thought I would stay for the poison plot but at this point it doesn't feel that compelling, and I expect the most the FL will do to get involved there is smell up a solution.
It's been like that for a while. During the release day and up to two days later, a new drama doesn't appear on…
The homepage top upcoming shows list still depends on the release date of the drama. The top ten of the whole upcoming shows results are entirely different to the top ten on the homepage widget. They are effectively two different lists. One shows the most anticipated in the near future, the other the most anticipated for any show not yet released.
I was ready for Shen Xi He to be scheming the heck out of the capital, but at this point she's doing nothing. Anything she has her hands in is upstaged by the crown prince and the editing is starting to make this feel like a power point slide show. 😔
I also don't see KTTPH anymore in the list of top upcoming dramas on the main page even tho it should be there.…
It's been like that for a while. During the release day and up to two days later, a new drama doesn't appear on either list.
MDL apparently counts the dramas as released on the day of the episode release instead of tying it to the hour counter, so that's why they don't appear on the Top Upcoming Shows list anymore. The delay in appearing on the Top Airing Shows list seems to be that enough users have to switch from "plan to watch" to "currently watching".
I am confused about the FL she was sending a letter to her father knowing the code she must write, was she reincarnated…
She has the memories of both. She comes back to life as Gu Qing Zhi but once Shen Xin He's maids give her the mirror, the FL remembers Shen Xin He's past too (mostly). The FL has retained more of Gu Qing Zhi's personality but she's basically a new person, a combination of the two princesses.
Stellar casting, great acting, an intriguing story, and a genuinely capable female lead. Right up my alley. So…
Agreed, there's so much we're told instead of shown. The investigations, the characters randomly monologuing... It's enjoyable but the foundation is really shaky even if they slow down for future big story beats.
Fan Shuai Qi just looks so good as Bu Shu Lin. I already love her interactions with Cui Jin Bai. In just a few scenes they are already a better "role swap" couple than a lot of others.
Yikes.
