If you bave watched 21 episodes out of 30 episodes you would know if you want to finish this drama. I like this…
I got irritated by the continual comments about his looks hence the head to toe comments. I am not in love with this actor and don't follow all his works but I appreciate the fact that he looks the way he is and not being a pretty boy does not preclude him from being a male lead. He is a good looking male. He is not ugly- another lot of comments I read this month.

I like this drama because its not boring. I think the acting is fine in the younger cast and phenomenal in the older cast.
Its not skewed in the romance section but then it hasn't been that way since episode 1.
Plot? Its fine. I will withold judgement until episode 30 airs.
70% of the episodes aired. Watch it or go... if you are that upset. I have dropped at least 3 other Cdramas this Feb and March. I have also not started 5 Cdramas this March because the stories didn't interest me. I didn't want to comment on the drama discussion group itself because I thought the leads were stone faced, the lines trite, the kissing was limp and the ending was just an anticlimax. I also watched another drama this week when the lines were cheesy, the female lead was worse than an airhead and the break up for 5 episodes was absolutely unnecessary.
So yeah its different strokes for different people. You win some you lose some.
If you like it; watch. If you want to see the ending; watch the last episode. If you don't like; drop it. I don't lose sleep over it.
I like fhe male lead. He looks masculine, has a nice voice and is not a walkover. The only thing that is irritating me currently is that he needs dental veneers for his bottom teeth. Other than that no issues. For those with issues.... look; at least it doesn't like he has upper eyelid scars from surgery, no Botox lips ( naturally full lips looks different those with Botox fillers ), no shaven jawline or chin implants, no narrow shoulders, no concave chest and looks like he has pecs, no scrawny arms and age appropriate for his role. He also has a nicely shaped posterior curve vs the flat side/lateral view you see in some actors. And oh yes the lighting must be good or kind because I don't see heavy foundation covering bad skin ie zits. Some of the actors have it. I saw bad skin in a 17 year old actress recently. He also still looks like a Chinese actor vs a doppelganger for a Korean actor. There is a Song Joong Ki look-alike Chinese actor that always distracts me and then the multiple Chinese actors that resembles Korean actors. And oh importantly he at least looks suited for a historical role and his wig/ hairline etc looks fine on him.
they are so stupid for being so smart... like they literally dare the husband in front of his face to do something…
I didn't. If there was anything I thought it will be a straightforward assassination.
You know that poison is used by women. Or cowards.
I am usually a paranoid drama watcher and wasn't expecting the meal to be poisoned. After all he wasn't going to cook at the inn. And he didn't know which inn. He'll need to bribe the innkeeper then cook.
at 19 it is rather mundane - this drama relies on shock value in plot twists and turns and not good storytelling.…
The problem is I've checked out all the currently airing and just aired Cdrama and there isn't a single drama to watch.
I am watching 3 Kdramas one which is ending. The Glory is at least one with some action. 2 of my Kdramas have no action and one has a male lead who can fignt but everyone else is pathetic.
Yu En Tai who plays the dad has a PhD in acting from the Central Academy of drama.
Ok even the actor looks mild. No wonder he is so believably insane.
The casting for the senior actors is so good.
Another thing which I've noticed .😂😂😂 there is no secondary romance if you call what happened in ep 18 a romance.
However this is one drama where I am not sure if the male lead's 2 guards and her maid will be involved in the plot or not. There has been zero interactions between the 2 people at the lead's side. That includes Cai Jing.
wow, of all the douchebag dads in cdrama land (and there are so many) this one really takes the cake and then…
There has been a lot of selfish and ambitious fathers in dramas. However I rarely see one who manages to kill his family members one by one and is not feeling guilty.
He has taken domestic violence to a whole different level.
I just finished ep 18. I think I need some time to recover before episode 19.Zhuang Shiyang is a memorable villain…
Ok. Episode is worse.
Good God. I am going to need some alcohol tonight.
You know when you watch a certain type of drama you come in expecting tragedy and death. I don't know what I thought this drama was about but whatever I thought I was wrong
Its definitely supposed to be one showing adults in their 20s. After university.
However heck if I can see how she is an adult. Or he as an adult especially in ep 27-21 where they evolved separately.
The 2nd couple made no sense.
I struggled to see the maturity. It was love at first sight for him I think. Hers was attraction to someone on a pedestal.
Its not nonsensical writing you understand. There are worse dramas around. However based on the fan based for the female lead and maybe the male actor I was wondering what kind of budget or who the screenwriter was. It didn't look like a cheap production so its the writing. Its stitled and even when it wanted to used the cliches from ep 17 that was quite badly done. Poorly executed.
I think this drama is best watched with no spoilers and previews. I have just finished ep 16 and 17.
The speculations is driving me nuts. I am now going to get some out of office work done. There are some real issues happening in my real life at work so for once even I can safely say that trumps my drama addiction. That is something I rarely say.
See you all on Monday. I cannot deal with all these single episodes for a thriller drama. Forget about romance. I have dropped it by now at ep 17. Anyone that hopes for sweet love and sweet moments are watching the wrong show.
All 3 romantic couples were extremely and badly written. The romance history does not follow logic. The break up period or rationales not logical.
The only redemption is or are the actual outdoor cinematography. The endless safety warnings were embarrassing. Did the Chinese production team think their Chinese citizens were that stupid?
The cultural aspects or population scene in this drama was thrown in for effect and totally made me cringe.
Any vegans watching this drama? I am not but one scene made me regret being carnivorous.
Nah, it's not scary. You can pretty much tell that she's going to kill the person so no suspense there. The suspense…
Geez. Wow.
Ok. Thanks. Will go in with no blinkers on.
The actress does take diverse roles. I am watching dramas just because she is in it. She is picking dramas that I normally don't watch but because I like her I come along to see what she is choosing.
I can think of another dramas that surprised me with each episode and have beautiful cinematography, one with…
Its good. There are a lot of negative comments about this drama below my comments. That's why I poste so there are actually comments - like from moi- about why this drama is good. I actually have PTSD about what happened to the 2nd leads in My Journey to you that even subsequent dramas by the actors have no erased.
I am all for civil discussions not ranting. There is nothing that bad in this drama that requires that much ranting. The writer hasn't made the characters do unspeakable evil and what- not.

Don't bother reading... just watch. It gets more intense. You haven't reached the answers yet by episode 4.

Zhuang Shiyang is a memorable villain alright. I am going to be traumatised for life by this episode.
However heck if I can see how she is an adult. Or he as an adult especially in ep 27-21 where they evolved separately.
The 2nd couple made no sense.
I struggled to see the maturity. It was love at first sight for him I think. Hers was attraction to someone on a pedestal.
