My fave scenes have been on repeat for the past 7 months.😂

Yup, such a good normal love story.❤️

Yeah, the other couples didn't deserve that.

The Story of Minglan had 78 episodes, double the amount of storytelling here SO yeah. 😂

30% politics, the rest is romance and humor.

Agree.

Comments sections aren't that popularly used anymore. People just come straight to watch or download and leave. Lol

Wei Liang is such a funny actor. His skits on his social media are funny too.

Yeah, they cut out four episodes, so the ending was a bit rushed.

I don't think this drama was ever meant to be that serious or politically driven given how clumsy and funny Wei Shao became in the middle parts. They cut out four episodes, so maybe all the villain parts were excluded. I feel as though this drama reflected real life. Not all villains are that smart in reality. They're just ones wiling to do bad and go against the rules for whatever they desire. Although the villains had smaller roles, their stories were well explained. They were ants, unprotected, unloved, used for political power, and in the end, had to do whatever they could to gain power themselves to survive. I don't think they were evil at heart who randomly wanted and obsessed with power. Just too bad, like any villain, they didn't know when to stop or let's say, they couldn't trust anyone in the end. But yes, I do agree that the villains were a bit too easy and of course, too many unnecessary deaths. This is a romance idol drama in the end so the majority of us are here for the leads. We want a light hearted piece to relax and enjoy.

Whoa, perhaps it's in writing, so you may have mistaken the tone of my post. Don't worry, I don't take things personally and I hope you don't either. I didn't intend to offend you. Thanks for joining in on the chit chat, as the discussions have slowed down from over six months ago. I just like to reply to the majority of posts here, good or bad, when I have time. I honestly think all of this is based on preferences. You like historical, political, and not focused on romance dramas. This drama is actually the opposite. There's little politics and heavy on romance, so you may not enjoy it as much as expected. Every political move is to strengthen the leads' love and relationship. A huge chunk in the middle of the drama is meant to build their relationship, the pace becomes very slow and character driven. It's not a historical drama meant to intrigue with mysteries. It's about a couple who go from enemies to lovers, so many of the plots can't stay hidden or else they would seem insincere and can't build trust. The rating here works in reverse, actually. There's so many people rating dramas a low score when the episodes haven't even aired. 😂 It has been over six months since this drama ended. The ratings have balanced out by now, so it's not rigged or overrated. It's truly how people feel. Plus, it's been very successful in other places, not just here.

Nah, just because it's not your cup of tea doesn't make this drama "ridiculously overrated". This drama has done extremely well domestically and internationally while being suppressed during its airing, which means the majority, worldwide, truly enjoyed this drama. Considering that dramaland has entered a winter season where not many people tune into long dramas anymore or a popular celebrity can't guarantee good results, this drama being one of the 3 dramas that hit the heat index this year, says a lot. This drama can't please everyone but there's no need to downplay it.

Yes, but he was soooo loved and lived with no regrets. His job had always been dangerous.

You can but you'll only understand half of what's going on but if you're only interested in love, their scenes are enough to keep your interest.

I think for me, the story, acting, cinematography, and chemistry was soooo good for 34-35 episodes, the ending wasn't bad enough to ruin it for me or bring the score down.

Everyone is sad about that.

They cut 4 episodes out, so it was a bit rushed.

If only they didn't cut 4 episodes, we may have seen a more complete ending. ❤️

The leads had a happy ending.

I totally agree. They were selling a solid story, not skinship and they casted the perfect leads who had amazing chemistry without doing too much.
