Sword and the Brocade

Thanks for the update. Still too bad it didn't go forward, They really left us hanging, Peace♥

Lots of productions got delayed by the events over the last 3 yrs as in shut downs. So 5 yrs is not unreasonable. The original cast, of course, has aged another 5 + yrs too and moved on with other commitments. Rather than delay it more they just moved on with new cast. I don't blame them. Peace♥

Sad to say it's become a trope. I like him but he doesn't like me. I will do anything to get him. (Who wants a man who doesn't love you but someone else?) << that way lies sadness and madness. Peace♥

So not fair. ♥

No work life balance with this couple. I can understand how every moment they can eke out together should be precious. It does get annoying that FL is so overly clinging during those moments and he is overly protective. Jam all that in to 1 day a month and you get picture. It's not even half of his time goes to her it's more like 10% and the rest to the country. So not fair. This couple does have a good chemistry it's the script that is lacking. Down graded my rating for these reasons. Peace♥

As stated below. The English title is now My Decoy Bride. Looks like it's not subbed yet. Can't find it on usual sites.

I think he liked her just from her letters. She was a teen and just speaking her mind. That intrigued him. She is embarrassed about what she wrote and assumes he doesn't like her and wants to get even. She keeps avoiding him so she doesn't have to deal with what she wrote in her letters. ML is still intrigued. Very interesting plot. * cough cough ♥

I'm still chuckling over the cat paw belts at the end of ep 4. ML is really a push over but gets things done. ♥

Watched episode 1 Styling is ok. Acting is good. There are some glaring cut blips. The scene where the performer comes down they could have played flute music but they didn't. (he was playing a flute.) << impact would have been great. When FL was entering the city and doing her performance continuity was way off. She's outside the carriage then magically inside the carriage. But hey I'm not the director. Just some things I noticed. I shall continue to watch. Looks like a fun romp. ♥

The very last scene she comes into her own power. However they never made the sequel due to copywrite issues and legal battle. We shall never know.♥

Copywrite issues so never. They have not been resolved to this time. Legal battle. ♥

1. No not really. 2. No. 3. She has a special ability and an under lying goal. But she does become the agent for a while for Yu Wen Yue. ♥

I'm really enjoying this. The sets are wonderful. The story is moving nicely. The acting is good. Now the passion fruit is kicking in. Some cute scenes. ♥

My thoughts exactly. Sigh, hopefully another time.♥

This actually is not a BL so don't hold your breath. It's a bunch of guys yes doing what they do best at solving crimes.

Loved this series. Fast paced, great plot and loved the styling. Different tempo. Acting was wonderful. ♥

I like the styling of this drama. It's cool. I like the story within the story. It has so many layers to peel off. Can't wait for the next episodes to be released.♥

I do think this is fiction which means they can have whatever rules they want if it fits the story. Obviously the Empress is above any rules and will break them. The Emperor is not interested in his realm so she does as she pleases.

Layer upon layer in this series. Cross and double cross. Very interesting. That's only the first 4 ep. Can't wait for more. ♥
