Yeppp!

Story of Yanxi Palace still remains her best up to date. She can cry, not saying anything about that, but her eyes are so blank that sometimes, without the dialogue, it'd be hard to figure out what she was thinking.

The chemistry was okay due to limited scenes but even then, it wasn't really there, but still giving them props for trying and it wasn't due to the age gap either. It just wasn't as sizzling as everyone painted it to be. He had more chemistry with Zhou Ye.

The acting was passable, not too bad, overall. The writing was okay for the first four episodes and then it repeated itself, same format, same formula for the next 36 episodes, so it lost its thrill for me.

I guess, we can "assume" that ML heard LMT and SYE talk in the cave about her being the mastermind, so that's all the apology he's going to get. Lol

And that's what I find a bit frustrating now. Before, it was okay that we didn't hear the leads' thoughts because things were much simpler then. BUT now, we almost have to hear their thoughts or else we're going to have to assume our way through when there's no explanation.

The Double thrived because they had 10 situations in one episode which is pretty unrealistic and very dramatic. But yes, the second couple's acting WAS FIRE! This drama is a lot slower paced which I like after something as fast as The Double. Yeah, the supporting pairs in here aren't cute enough for my time. Lol

Yes, I applaud LMT for standing up for him in secret twice. :)

Although I enjoyed The Double, but it was unrealistic in more ways than this drama. The Double's script made the actors, but in here, the actors are what carries the script. Wu Jin Yan is still a weak actress to me, so I'm not surprised that it's WXY who gained the most from the drama's success. Her eyes are blank most of the time and remained the same in most situations. I know...I'm gonna get bashed for having a different opinion.

Late twenties isn't too old right? Hhaha. When I saw the trailers, I thought CXZ chasing LMT made sense. However, actually watching the drama, it doesn't anymore. He has long paid his dues. Why does he still need to chase her? Before watching, I thought her actions and words were cute in the trailer but now, I'm like, why is she playing so hard to get? When there's no need to.

I hope so too.

I hope so too.

A woman chasing a man will always be different from a man chasing a woman, don't take the word "chase" too literal. I'm not saying for LMT to chase CXZ but she doesn't have to belittle him all the time either. If she has something to say, say it to him in private. He is a lord in the end. She can only say those things because he allows her to, get that through her head. Ever since she regained her memories, she's always telling him to never overestimate his cleverness. Well, didn't she overestimate herself too, being lied to, manipulated, and almost died because of Ziyu? If she was smart, she would've taken the amnesia as a blessing in disguise and move on. Finding every chance to slash him with actions or words is just a no no for me. She carried on with no trauma from CXZ's lies so really, the level of deceit wasn't completely unbearable, nothing so bad happened that it was irreversible. ML already repaid the lies with the hairpin and continues to save her booty all the time YET that's not enough, right? He has to continue chasing her until he's almost dying then she'll forgive him?

Some people didn't enjoy My Journey To You's main leads but I did. When Gong Zi Yu finally discovered that Yun Wei Shan was a Wu Feng spy/assassin, he was upset but that lasted less than an episode. They quickly reconciled and continued as a team/power couple. Okay...the stories aren't the same but that's what I'm getting at. A LOT of these dramas always make the ML chase the FL but it's never really the other way around. Sure, with recent social trends, all these dramas are now female centric, but let's not reduce our MLs down to love puppies who need the FL to function. Ohhh, it's okay if FL moves on and has a life but ML doesn't deserve OR hasn't proved enough to win over the FL when he LITERALLY risked his life 10 times in so many different ways for her. Hahah.

My Journey To You is an example that so often, we forgive the FL so quickly and the ML not so much like in this drama. Yun Wei Shan lied too and her actions would've brought the entire Gong residence, no jianghu, down but ohhh, she had to because she was an orphan....the reasons versus CXZ who has to protect his people from becoming orphans.

Yun Wei Shan is a true example of a mature and intelligent woman. She wasted no time talking.

Episode 17

And why do we have to see the ML suffer and cry over the FL and be jealous? Why can't we have balanced out characters?

I hope they don't cut those scenes.

Yeah, they should've added a scene or two if they're going to make ML this puppyish towards her.

He Zhen respects CXZ. He Zhen was willing to be his concubine out of love for him, so once he rejected her because she realized he loves someone else, it sort of cancels out. Binglan doesn't love CXZ so whether he tells her he loves another woman or not, she doesn't care. She only wants the title and will continue to keep pursuing him even if he will never love her. He Zhen realized she won't ever win his heart and gave up early which is really smart. She was able to read between the lines better than him and LMT.

Yup, I agree.

Hmm...I thought she was but as of right now...pending.

Haha, yeah.

He wasn't completely wrong about LMT. She returned his money nicely without asking, still honored him after what happened, pissed off his enemy CXZ, and left without further implicating him like a little puppy. I don't see why not push it and try to keep her as a mistress.
