Thank you! And oh no, cp 2 is so sweet :( Maybe the show will deviate a bit and give them a HE.🙏

Couple 1 - of course Simu and Duan Xu
Couple 2 - Fang Xian Ye and Duan Jing Yuan
Couple 3 - Meng Wan and Xia Qing Sheng
Couple 4 - HeJia Feng Yi and Zi Ji

Eps 30 and 31 were such a pleasure to watch. What I like about Chen Fei Yu is that he can play a general so well, and then transitioned into a hurt pouty young man in love. And Miles Wei is so good at playing evil...Of course, there's just not enough words to describe Dilreba...

Novel readers - could you please spoil? Will there be a happy ending for all 4 couples? I'll put who I think the fourth couple is in the spoiler below.

Proof that these two are good at their craft!

Yes! That was one of my fav scenes too - Simu looked so beautiful in her silverish outfit, just sirring there listening.

😄 Such an apt comparison!

That makes a lot of sense - thank you!

For me, strong relationships (romantic or platonic) tend to evolve—conflict, misunderstanding, understanding, growth, trust, so on and so forth. For me, the way Karasuma reacted and behaved around Kujo felt kind of one note, static and too restrained. Despite him getting to know Kujo, understanding his motivation, and supposedly cared about him, it came across like nothing meaningful was at risk when damger was closer, like there were no consequences if they fall out or lose each other. The bond didn't feel important to the story, and by extension, to me.

But definitely more impactful!

Nice twist in ep 10. What would make it sadder is if the wife did everything she did because of a misunderstanding...

If LWY must die because she has Jiu Ying's fragment in her, then how about WSG - he has one of the fragments too. Is he saved because he's a dragon?

Ep 19 - more tears - seriously, must the screenwriter be so cruel ? I hope there will be a twist for the couple but I don't have much hope. I am confused though - spoiler question below.

This show is so addictive—the layers, the secrets, the constant emotional rollercoaster...people sacrificing themselves (😭) to protect the Tenth Dragon.

And so many questions: Is Li Jie really Li Jie now? Is LWY truly free of Jiu Ying, or still under its control? And Ji Ling… is he pretending, or has the desire for power actually corrupted him?

I’m choosing to believe in Ji Ling—I hope he’s playing the long game for the greater good.

Decent drama to pass the time. For a mini drama, they wrapped up the loose ends nicely. Special effects define reflected the low budget. The actor playing the ML has potential - he has presence but the FL actress was not that impactful. Overall not bad if you are looking for a quick watch.
I would have rated it a 7.5 but gave it an 8 because it got me interested enough to buy the express.

Ep 29 was so good and Simu looked gorgeous in her silver bedazzled bluish dress! The scenes when they both talked to themselves about each other were just lovely and I really like the OST selected for them.
What a wonderful gift DX had for Simu! I cannot wait for tomorrow’s episode. Can’t believe we are down to the final stretch!

I think so. I have not watched PA and am up to ep 6 now. Finding it enjoyable enough - it's not amazing but definitely engaging.

Just look at the opening credits - all of them suspended in water...it must be hugely symbolic for some reason.

Yeah, guaranteed we will never see a FL with a scar. There was one show where the FL character started off having a scar, and then did a face swap with of course, another actress with porcelain white smooth skin :D Sad thing was that the first character was far more compelling and attractive in a way before the swap.

Not sure - when they were facing off each other, she looked more like a warrior than CQ. Maybe because she actually looks like she’s been in battles. That’s fine- I’m not holding that against the FL. We’ve gotten plenty of female generals with porcelain smooth white skin who look like they spend their time bathing in milk instead of fighting. And I liked many of those shows.
I can’t judge yet based on 4 episodes.

I actually have zero expectations, since I have never watched PA and I don’t know the FL except for her role in the Perfect Match. Her character portrayal is not very convincing at this point. I do like the two MLs’ previous works so I was willing to give this a chance.
I do have tropes that I dislike , especially overused ones. Luckily it seems like that is over around ep 4 so I can get on with the rest of the story :)
