Also Gina Jin, girl you know I love you but NEVER do this 💩 again
She literally had ONE look all through this season, she really looked like she was confused and probably didn't even know what was going on, maybe she was held hostage and told to put on the costume and just say some lines, who knows? 😩
Comeon, original Ye LingEr was feisty, she took such an interesting character and gave her the personality of wet tissue, my God, I think that was the ONE goof that irked me the entire time she appeared on screen
I've watched Gina in like 3 dramas and she's a fave of mine but my God if this were my first time watching her, I'll never see her in anything again
She could have at least watched the 1st season and tried to mimic YLEs mannerisms or something
Can I just say Haitang DuoDuo is super beautiful this season 😍
Also has anyone noticed how she looks at FX when they interact, she has a thing for him, she just tries to hide it when people tease her but she soooo does 🤣
Just finished the last episode and the sense of loss hit me hard. What a truly mind blowing end to this season. I don't think there are up to 3 Cdramas that had successful sequels that have the same level of quality and story telling. I can categorically say JOL is one.
I understand why some are nitpicking and looking for faults that don't exist, this is literally the diamond of the season, the more we the fans gush about it, the more they wanna tear it apart, holding this masterpiece to such high standards but literally turning a blind eye to all the trash dramas being rolled out every week in cdramaland🙄
I understand we can't all have the same tastes, but the 2 seasons shouldn't be compared as they're intrinsically different, if Fan Xian had continued the same journey of season 1, the same critics complaining season 2 is boring will be the very ones saying how stale the story has become. Most people don't even understand the premise of this show tbh, this isn't one of those shows where everything is explicitly revealed, even an eye twitch alone here can mean the admission or rebuttal of a fact.
The depth and writing of the characters is unlike any show out there. No one is a plain bad or good character, we all know the emperor is a sadistic megalomaniac, but damn I have such a deep admiration of him, he has such presence and charisma I'm yet to see in ANY emperor, when I watch dramas with the dumbest emperors being led around by their consorts, i roll my eyes and ask why can't they be like HIM comeon! Even the scene he revealed himself as FXs dad had me teary.
I'm so proud of FXs growth this season, every character was meaningful, every episode was interesting with zero fillers and I'll miss everyone, even He Zong Wei, lol
Season 1 : 10/10 Season 2: 10/10 Season 3: 10/10 in advance hehe😜
See you JOL heads in 5 years time with my 5 kids and two grandchildren 🤣
Can I just say JOL is one of the best productions to EVER come out of China. This is one phenomenal drama, the season 2 is just as , if not more enjoyable , than season 1. Words can't describe how much I enjoy this series, every single character has a purpose that fits into the bigger story like puzzle pieces, there's been a barage of below par cdrama productions that this just feels like a breath of long overdue fresh air.
I might have a complete rewatch of season 1 just to fill the void or just jump right into the novel because it's gonna be a long drought after this till something good comes along again in Cdrama land
I’m on episode 11 and constantly frustrated at the FL’s aversion of any sense of intimacy. Especially after…
A worthy mention of this trope done right is Hidden Love. That is the ONLY drama that gets the full romance + no angst trope 10/10, trust me i tried YAMG, LMLMV and others, Hidden Love knocks them all out of the park, if you haven't seen it please do
Sang Zhi & Jia Xu' s connection, chemistry, is what I hoped to get here but didn't, I can't even explain what makes it so fantastic maybe the writing, the story or just LuSi & CZY masterful interpretation of their roles but it's everything AASOL isn't.

Trust me I'm the number 1 advocate for chastity but she could have done a better job with chemistry, jeez, Wu Lei was literally a volcano of raw emotions emitting need with every touch & look but she just always lay there waiting for him to make a move she could immediately shut down. It got old real quick for me and then graduated to annoyance, lol might not watch anything from her anytime soon
TLOSL is a great example, they were chaste till the tail end of the drama but my God, that heat and chemistry could burn through the screen, being comfortable with each other's touch plays a vital role in building chemistry fr.
I'm just back to say I'm experiencing INTENSE TLOSL withdrawal, SEND HELP Y'ALL!! ⚠️
Seriously, when last I felt this way was after SOKP, LYF, MLC, L&P and a couple other of my faves. This is definitely going into Chinese Dramas Hall of Fame for me, and might I add I sincerely adore ZLY, she's so wholesome to watch, really amazing at her job, next time I see any brainless slander against her on MDL I'm blocking that user fr. Plus LGX is so mega hot, i was one of the few that loved him in PA way more than the 2ml, can't wait to see him in some great productions again.
This drama is perfection, everything is so well done, I think when next I'll see something this good this year will be LYF2.
Is it just me who has found it IMPOSSIBLE to complete ANY of Zhou Ye's dramas? She's exceptionally beautiful but I feel like there's something deficient in her acting that I just can't put my hands on. I tried really hard to enjoy Back from the brink but the story & the emotionless acting from her & Neo was a letdown. She could hardly cry in the scenes that were supposed to be emotionally charged, despite that I pushed through to the end which I REGRETTED btw.
Scent of Time sent me to sleep so many times I just knew I could not waste my time anymore, despite loving SOKP that had a similar story (Bai Lu killed it btw 🔥).
I only enjoyed her in WOH because the story was that good plus GJ killing his role as WKX.
I really tried to like this for my Tan Gege but this just wasn't doing it for me. Stuck around till Episode 10 but I nearly cried out of boredom, recently tried picking it up again but nope, couldn't get past 3 episodes. Sad to pull the plug on this one.

Yh she was in WOH, WKX's attendant/adopted daughter
