Yep. Same happened with me and POJ too. They kept separating them too much. It got old.

It has. She was pregnant at her death. They said as much more than once. And no...she's not a virgin. Like c'mon. Also she's married to a guy who's going to die in a year. What is she waiting for? It's silly at this point.

In Ep 29 he's talking about his Grandmother wants grandbabies, that's how I know they haven't hooked up. It may happen by the end of that episode possibly...but I'm thinking 30.

My one continued gripe with this series is they don't do a good job with the passage of time. Weeks can pass between scenes - let alone episodes - but it will feel like it's just the next day. Doing a better job of establishing time would be great to have better sense of what is happening and when.

And I wouldn't really call it romance. If I were being honest.

She's not a virgin. They are married. And she said she love him. Like....

I have no idea. I'm just here for the second couple at this point.

In episode 29 preview my man still ain't got none.

So for those of you who love long drawn out, never-ending courtship...you got your wish.

lol

This

Ep. 23 around 31.04 is when the convo starts - in the restaurant with Lady Meng on a date.

I wouldn't want to be the one married to him while he's working that out.

Forgot about that.

Not if he's still in love with her sister.

Questions for native speakers:

When Lady Meng is talking translation says "I heard -my- Aunt took care of you while in Shuang..."

Is that correct - is it Lady Meng's or Young Masgter Bu's Aunt?

I'm just asking b/c why would Lady Meng need someone else to take a gift to her Aunt.

Once again...the issue is the execution. Not the overall story. As I said her not liking him isn't the issue. The issue is they still want to give the leads all this scree time even though nothing is going on with them, instead incorporating the HUGE cast of characters they have established in the show. It would be fine if there were other things going on.

What????

You don't need 10+ episodes of the same theme IF you aren't adding anything else. It would be fine if there were legit second leads, other women, political drama, but mostly it's just push and pull over and over and over.

Once again there are only so many episodes. So if they do the common c-drama thing at best you'll get 2-4 "happy" episodes and then their separation and then the end. It gets old. Was hoping for better here...likely not happening.

Yep. There is clip that's been floating around and it didn't air in 21 so I'm guessing 22/23 - and yep...looks like how they made the twins. lol

Not really whether it is a cdrama thing or not - some have managed to do better. I was hoping this one was different. It's not, but the second couple is worth viewing so I'm enjoying them.
