I disagree.
He is definitely attracted to her.
He is loyal to Naksu. He is still in pain for loosing her.
He is fighting this new attraction; which, he doesn’t understand… YET.
His motive for taking her in might be to remove the ice stone from his body and to perish.
However, he is definitely protective of her.

Very, very lovely intimate scene…
Very tender kiss…
At the same time, a very sad moment…

My boy is obviously attracted to her but simply doesn’t know why, yet.

PS: Go Yoon Jung is doing a fantastic job with her character. I had my doubts about the use of a different actress and character for the FL in Part 2.
Not anymore… I think that I am enjoying watching this actress even more than the initial one.

Absolutely zero spark.
I don’t know if it is because of the rather strange storyline… The not so much likable characters… Or the lazy writing’s concept, itself…
There is absolutely no chemistry between these 2 leads. Even during their intimate scenes.
Leo Wu and D. didn’t really have any kissing scenes (at least, not one that we could actually witness…) in The Long Ballad… But their two characters had great chemistry and great dynamic between them.
On the other hand, these 2 are just boring to watch.

Even the concept of career women working in the over-dominant Chinese man’s law industry is so very vague.
The Chinese social norms, unfairness, prejudice and injustice get lost in the midst of this surprisingly boring drama.
Even at 8.1, I think the rating is exaggeratedly over-rated.

My thoughts exactly…
Is it a law firm or a fashion firm?

I am actually bored with this drama.
Seriously, I was expecting more from my 2 leads.
The storyline, itself… How can I phrase this?
Uneventful and not as amusing as I thought that it would be.

About that…
In my mind, I was watching Bai Lu🤣😅😂
I guess subconsciously, I wanted Bai Lu instead of Li Qin for that role.
Surprisingly, Li Qin usually a strong actress is completely out of her norm in this drama.
Allan seems out of his mind… Bored.
While, Li is irritatingly overacting in all of her scenes.

Hmmm…
That makes sense as well.
Either way, I like both concepts.
Thanks for the clarification. Very nice of you.

That’s what it is…?
I swear it was the real Naksu’s body with the blind priestess soul. A switcheroo from the previous concept of Part 1.

I was afraid that Part 2 would not size up to Part 1…
With the switch of the FL’s actresses…
I have to say that I am loving the first 2 episodes. Go Yoon Jung is giving justice to Naksu’s character (Naksu body with the high priestess’s soul).
I am very entertained and very intrigued by her disposition.

A very entertaining coming of age, modern drama.
I wished that they have been more thorough about some details, like LX’s reconstructive spinal surgery. I never fully understood if he had done it or not.

All in all… I am very much impressed by Arthur Chen’s LX portrayal. Loved him in Ever Night season 1… Was rather disappointed with Legend of Awakening… Was very much impressed by his character portrayal in Gold Panning…
And obviously, I am sure that I will be continuously getting impressed by his growing acting prowess.

PS: I love every single song in the L&P OST soundtrack.

The production is not as well manicured as L&P nor as LLTG…
However, the storyline and the characters’ portrayals are very enchanting and endearing.

I was thinking the exact thing…
I got to enjoy “Love like the Galaxy” and “Lighter & Princess” and “Love Between Fairy and Devil”
I am spoiled this year.

Check Arthur out in “Ever Night” season 1 and in “Gold Panning.”
This kid is getting better and better and better!
Influential cinematography family or whatnot…
Arthur Chen, in terms of acting skills… He is right behind Leo Wu…
The kid has a very bright future.

There are 2 snakes in this drama…
FZF is obviously one of them… And the second one is Gao.
Gao is an oversized anaconda undercover. Since the very first scene in episode 1, I could see the jealousy and the extreme inferiority complex in his eyes.

Too bad, since LX and Gao are not love rivals (Thank you very much for that)… It would have been so great if the 2 characters were written as great friends who supports each other. No matter how skilled is LX with programming and business; Gao could have been his best friend with the human skills that LX is lacking.

Fyi: Just as in “Gold Panning (2022)…” Arthur’s clear improvements are again fully noted (My boy’s acting skills have gotten so sharp if I come too close… I might cut myself…)

Not even 2 XuXus could save this production😅😂🤣

I agree😅
Did they force Allen to do this project?
He looks bored out of his mind… While, Li Qin is overacting the hell out her role.

The writing of the characters is half-baked which in terms makes the characters’ portrayals half-baked. The 2 leads feel that suddenly they no longer know how to act.
Maybe… Too many projects this year🤔

I feel you.
I just don’t understand why she is mad when she realized the ML’s real intentions/motives… When the FL is the one who kidnapped him in the first place.
The entire beginning plot is simply ridiculous.
I was so excited to watch them again, like I very much loved loved them (dynamic and chemistry and all) in “One and Only”
But the FL character in this one is borderline irritating. Sad… I love a strong female lead character.

Oh! I am an avid viewer of historical productions.
However, just like “Story of Yanxi Palace…”
“The Royal Feast” is simply incredibly dull to me. Whether the background storyline is historically accurate or not… If the dramatized portrayal is lifeless then it is simply lifeless.
