MJN

Yes, I like how he said to her, you should never show your weakness or show anyone about who you care about, because people will use that weakness. (paraphrasing) I have a huge feeling he was talking about himself in regards to her.

here is a link that someone posted from the comments a day or so ago... ( I bookmarked it to read later)

I love where there is as smart and clever FL. One of the reasons I love Story of Ming Lan and LLTG so much. A few other mentions are The Princess Wei Young, Rebel Princess, and Rise of the Phoenixes (although, I hated the ending of ROTP)

Episode 11 pretty much solved the answer, at least from what I am watching right now.

LOL so THIS!!!

Yes me too! They are the only two dramas I am watching right now (except with a random K Drama on the side). I don't even know which i like more either. I like OFL's cutesy and sizzling romance. But, I am loving the story/plot development of SOKP and ZLH in this role, he is so good.

Thank you, I missed the comment. That explains so much.

3/4 (if you count Shi Yan's Uncle Guan) couples weren't enough for this drama, let's add another couple (Shi Yan's secretary and Shu Yi's work colleague) because the MLs don't need that much screen time anyway, right? (sarcasm and if you have seen the previews)

LOL, possibly!

Even though there are a small/few minor inconsistencies overall it is still a cute drama, even with the slow moving relationship. The second couple is still grating on my nerves though, they seem to be to toxic for each other.

Silly out of the blue question: Is it just me or is there a steering wheel in the back seat of Shi Yan's car? It just seems like the camera always has it showing and it seems so weird to me.

I thought the same thing about the trip and the car. He said he doesn't like to ride in anyone else's car. I was like but you flew there? Did your driver have to drive all the way there?

Oh wow, that just makes things even more interesting.

I didn't know that, no wonder I am liking the story so much.

so I assume there was no modern world part in the novel?

This is probably his best role, I have seen him in. As much as I liked his character in MJTY, this role just fits him so much better.

I believe that as well. There seem to be so many "hints" that that is the case.

I am finding the story itself quite enjoyable, aside from the possible romances, the political struggles and power plays are interesting and intriguing. But I love political dramas, Nirvana in Fire and Rise of the Phoenixes being my favorites.

That's why I like watching a lot of dramas on Viki, when they use fansubs, because you still see those notations and I like knowing that info.

The ex boyfriend's current girlfriend/mistress is not the niece of Shi Yan. Shu Yi saw Shi Yan's car at the hospital the same time she went to get her phone (which happened to be in her ex boyfriend's car) and Shu Yi saw her ex with the "mistress", so she assumed that the "mistress" is Shi Yan's niece. So that is why she hatched a plan with her best friend to try and win Shi Yan's affection (although now she is developing real feelings). Shi Yan's real niece is Shi Yue, who happens to be working with Shu Yi as her intern, but Shu Yi doesn't know that she has mistaken the whole niece thing. Le Zhi is the name of the "mistress", she is supposedly a niece of someone (comments have said she is the niece of Shi Yan's driver).

Me too, I subscribed to Viki, Tencent/WETV, IQIYI, Mango App, and Youku. I also do Netflix and Disney+/Hulu for mostly Korean Dramas, other than Viki, I haven't found a good Korean app for their dramas (besides Hulu and Netflix). I hardly ever use the Mango App though because I can't stand their subs, it is mostly if I can't find it anywhere else and I try to power through the drama if I really want to watch it.
