I know I have said this already but I really can't stand that lady of the first house. Please can we be done with her.
Also, i think today was the first time in this drama I actually got a bit annoyed with Ren Min's voice. When LYN was whining about LSY not wearing the clothes she made for him. It got a little to whiny for me.
C-dramas usually have a 2nd couple. it's not unusual and I don't think they have that much screen time. Maybe…
I agree with you. I think this episode they maybe had a bit more, but there have been episodes that haven't even showed the 2nd couple. I think they also did this to clear up a lot of stuff. I don't understand why everyone is so upset about this. There are way more dramas out there where there are 2nd couples even 3rd couples that get just as much if not more screen time than the main couple. ( Wrong Carriage, Right Groom for one). IMO, the 2nd couple in this drama hardly has that much screen time at all.
Here's a different perspective on why the second couple has been getting more screentime lately. First, as others…
Love this explanation. I also have mentioned that about 2nd and 3rd couples being in almost on every single drama. Thank you so much for your wonderful insight.
I just love reading different people's reviews, comments and thoughts, sometimes I agree and sometimes I don't and even sometimes it makes me change my thoughts and views, seeing it from a different perspective.
She just gave LJX a big clue that she was his Mei Mei. At least on iQiyi the sub (at marker 14:40) said "Even if it meant I'd die again today....." I mean hello big hint, now he definitely won't leave you alone. And he sent someone to retrieve that Song woman.
Also, I am so ready for the First Madam to be gone. I would seriously be happy with the Concubine back if we could get rid of the First Madam.
We are now past the halfway point and I am really ready for some of these secrets to come out in the open and for some things to be cleared up, yet it seems they keep adding more things that need to be cleared up. Hopefully, the jail thing will be taken care of in one, maybe 2 episodes.
I love the interactions between the FL and ML, but a lot of these interactions, I wish had waited until after she had found out that he wasn't her real brother. I mean he knows, but she doesn't right now and some seem a little bit, I don't know how to phrase it, much for them just being "siblings". She really does genuinely care for him as a brother, to see her so excited about the prospect of her getting a sister in law or helping him find one, it is so innocent on her part. I really wish he had of told her a long while back, especially now that she has said no more secrets between them.
The writers have done an exceptional job crafting a character who is not only intelligent and quick-witted but…
If you haven't watched The Story of Ming Lan, Zhao Li Ying did the same thing with Ming Lan in that. It is one of my absolute favorite historical costume dramas with a very clever and smart FL who has no fighting skills whatsoever.
I agree with you about Ren Min, I think this drama will be a definite re watch for me. She is portraying this character very well. I am enjoying her acting and the story a lot.
Mixed feeling. More than half way and the main entanglements have not even been un-entangled for just one. Instead,…
One of the highlights for me is the sixth Uncle and sixth Miss's storyline. They bring a bit of lightness to the drama and I am all for their quirky interactions. And honestly, I don't think that really have that much screen time. There is always secondary stories and characters (sometimes even thirds) in these dramas, some of the stories are good and some not so good. I try to go with the flow unless the secondary stories/characters become overwhelming then I just fast forward their parts.
I was really hoping that the mom's doppelganger would play a pivotal role in exposing the birth secret. Like,…
I was expecting more of LYN getting the evidence of her mom being poisoned by the first madam. I mean we got a little bit, but I was expecting the whole thing to be wrapped up with Ms Yang's appearance.
This script just lost my respect. FL goes of half cocked "I'LL help you." I thought she was smart. Ummm refuge…
Yeah that scene seemed a little uncharacteristic for how smart she supposedly is. I mean really? She had no one to go with her. I think that is probably my first WTF moment in this whole drama.
The previews for the next 2 episodes looks like they are really amping up the drama. I think we won't get a resolution about her finding out who her real father is til after this whole mess with LSY's master is over. At least that is what it looks like. Also, that maidservant next to the first madam truly just wants to kill (get rid of, whatever) everyone that cause her madam problems. I think right now I want those two to be dealt with first. They are getting more annoying than Concubine Qiao ever was.
I am so ready for LYN to meet her real father. After the introduction of Duke Ying, I really think he will be happy for her and treat her like a real daughter unlike her current so called father.

Also, I think the First Madam is even more heinous than that Concubine woman of the 2nd master.
