A one episode spin-off will be released on May 29. Probably to make up for the sudden ending. https://weibo.com/1027888492/R1bgu5azm?pagetype=profilefeed
im excited! i hope it’s a proper bonus/special episode. i got deceived by LBFAD’s special ep with this. i thought im gonna get new clips but i ended up just watching a gloried trailer with some new narration. hopefully this isnt the case for ASM!!
finally finished watching it! i love this drama overall but i feel like this drama shouldve been atleast 60 episodes where story goes:
part 1 - jinzhao growing up / her family struggles part 2 - building their romance part 3 - politics part 4 - their married life and life at the chen mansion!
the politics (and war) part was interesting but it was crammed into a few episodes at the end which lessened its impact for me. it wouldve been more engaging if it was paced properly.
they did a good job tugging our hearts with ye xian’s death though. i literally felt my heart breaking during his death scene and the scene where jinzhao reads his letter. i forgot the last time something hurt me this bad
i also love that the main villains fu hailian and wang xuangfan have supportive wives (lol) they actually have a good relationship with their wives which you wouldnt expect if someone’s an evil doer ig
and to that end scene…. i read a comment here that said thats a nod to the fire scene in episode 1 which i think is awesome but we still shouldve gotten moreeeeee after that. i cant believe the ending credits rolled in just like that :(((
anyways it was a happy ending but i feel cheated because i wanted more!!! i wanted to see where the characters would end up in, even just a little glimpse! i wanna see gu lan and mu zhidi.. chen family members.. jinzhao’s grandmother.. qingpu… even qinglan!!! i also wanted to see their kid because i heard they have a kid in the novel…… just a 10 second glimpse per character wouldve been more than enough for us viewers so why oh why!!!
i still loved this drama and would definitely recommend. id still rate it a 10/10.
so onto the next one!!! someone recommend a drama id be obsessed with just like i am obsessed with this one pls :((
guys i just finished that scene in ep39 where GJZ read YX’s letter and ohmygod i didnt expect this to break my heart as much as it did. i already got spoiled by his death and the letter but watching that scene is too much for my weak little heart!!! ye xian!!! 😭😭😭 my heart feels for him huhuhuhu.
havent watched it yet bc i have work so i resorted to reading spoilers on the comments and on twt and ohmygod my hopes and dreams of seeing a well fleshed out happy ending of them with kids is now gone :(((( i wanted a satisfying ending!!!! but whatever ig they gave us a couple of episodes full of sweetness after they got married BUT BUT STILL!!!!! huhuhuhu now i cant wait to finish work and binge!! ugh
after all that’s gonna happen in the last few eps i really hope we get a well fleshed out happy ending. i dont wanna see 5 seconds of happiness at the last episode, i want atleast half an episode of full bliss and hopefully them having kids huhu please cdrama gods hear us
uh, lets see. I believe is father was someone CYY knew and CXQ's father saved CYY's life which is why CYY took…
i read on here that CXQ was adopted to continue the lineage of the 5th Chen brother. apparently that was common(?) in those times
but the REAL father of CXQ is a criminal that committed treason(?) cmiiw i kinda forgot what they said. thats why he needed to marry Wanxue to keep the truth about his real father a secret
With all the sweet moments, I fear they may kill ml by end of the drama
noooo pls dont say that im gonna crash out if this happens 😔 we deserve a full on happy ending showing us more of their married life and kids. im manifestingggg
i saw a reuter on tiktok where jinzhao is wearing a black robe, holding a knife to her own throat. i think shes talking to someone wearing a red robe that ministers/grand secretaries wear. anyone who knows what happens in this scene? spoilers pls
I don't like the Chen family other than the sister/neice and the second brother. The Chen madam is a villain if…
true i felt the same as you in your last point. now she has to maneuver and try hard not to offend yanyun’s family and now the grandmaster secretaries’ wives group but she prob knows what shes getting herself into. ig thats the price you pay for love lol. i know shes gonna win over everyone because shes the main lead (lol) and her character is just that smart but still i believe she wouldve thrived and remained happy even if she chose to not marry.
all the family members are ragebaiting me ohmygod from jinzhao’s paternal family then now in yanyun’s family all of them are such bad people. now chen xuanqing is pissing me off too like whats your plan here my guy? do you think jinzhao’s gonna wake up one day realize she wants to be with you divorce yanyun and run away with you? likeeeee is he crazy in the head? im close to believing all these side characters are created to piss us viewers ohmygod
part 1 - jinzhao growing up / her family struggles
part 2 - building their romance
part 3 - politics
part 4 - their married life and life at the chen mansion!
the politics (and war) part was interesting but it was crammed into a few episodes at the end which lessened its impact for me. it wouldve been more engaging if it was paced properly.
