That scene was awesome! Not sure if that came straight out of the novel or the screenwriter added it. Kudos to whoever it is.

True but I was thinking of the female supporters that Jiang Li have.

Yeah, I really wonder if these amazing skills really exist in real life - lol

This show is all about the women - now there are at least 5 women scheming and aiming against Jiang Li. Poor her - only has her grandmother and Tong'er.

Score 1 for Shen Yu Rong - at least he managed to criticize the Princess during her power tripping. I wonder if anyone else saw what she did when Jiang Li was taking aim.
Then Duke Su came strolling in, scoring another against that deranged woman.

Oh, then the show made him more pitiable

The English title is Blossoms of Deception on the Tencent international platform but it is only subbed up to ep 3.

OK, thanks! I won't start Watsana Rak then because I am looking for something more fun and entertaining. I am looking through the older lakorns now on LakornPixie to see if anything jumps out.

I like Kwanruetai the most too and then Laorchan because I like stories about Naga. I am not impressed wth Jaipisut but maybe it will get better.

Yeah, Mint is really pretty - I liked her in Bad Romeo.

Yes I am! I think you're right - they are definitely faster with the currently airing ones. I am also watching Remember but I stopped at ep 12 and waiting for it to completely finish first. I already watched the Korean version so I know the ending so I am going to draw it out a bit. I hope they change the ending though as a nice surprise.

I haven't started Disparity but it is on my list. How's Watsana Rak? I am a little annoyed with Devaphrom Jaipisut so I am watching the older versions (stories of their parents)

Exactly - even after that, she is still the one taking the initiative and acting clingy. I just cannot deal with this bad script. At least we will have another breakthrough in ep 19. To appease my anger at how they ruined the FL character, I want her to revert to her assassin mode and turn colder towards the ML. Enough with this whiny childish act. Maybe she will still love him but can we have a more dignified FuXiao please?! At least the Princess did give her some good advice.

Ah ok, that's also an even better punishment for the princess but I kind of feel bad for SYR since he was forced into it by choosing himself and his mother/sister over XFF/Jiang Li. So I prefer him to at least ultimately decide his own fate and end it all. Thank you for spoiling :)

I wonder if the crazy couple - SYR and Princess will end up in a murder suicide. I would love to see him telling that he has had enough of her and then kill her. After which he will then kill himself because he is driven to madness.
Can the novel readers please elaborate in a spoiler?

Up to ep 5 now. The subbing is taking time. Such a typical lakorn with
the stereotypical damaged ML, and a FL coerced into being with him for the lamest reasons. Cannot forget the usual villains and the clingy SFL who refuses to accept reality. And she is not going to be the only female chasing after the ML.
That said, I am enjoying the show so far. It looks like it will be a slow burn romance and with the wait for the subs, it will be very slow indeed :D

What a waste of another episode! Even when there’s progress between the two, the FL remains whiny and clingy. Why is she the one always making the moves? Is this the show’s version of a strong woman?? Or do they think that they need to dumb down this character all the way to contrast against how bad ass she is later. So annoying!

🤣

Yes! Do you want spoilers? :D

Episodes 10 & 11 - chef's kiss! The way they weaved Jiang Li's flashbacks and influence throughout the competition and the Qin playing - was not expecting the extra effects but it's great! Plus the comic relief was good, though a little exaggerated with Rui Rui :D

Between Xiao Heng, Ye Shi Jie and Shen Yu Rong, the visuals are certainly engaging - hehe!

She guilt-tripped him because apparently it was her who indirectly helped him get the throne, due to her being taken hostage in the past.

See… The moment the FL decides that she is not going to wait for the ML, he caves in. She should have stopped being so clingy a while ago

Exactly! Very nicely done!
