I keep trying to work through my emotions about this show... and it's tough. 1. It's a beautiful production2.…
It's not supposed to be an epic. More like a cute romantic fairytale a la Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella etc. Which is probably why it's a rather self contained story and doesn't span multiple lifetimes or ages unlike other Xianxia.
I guess people like it for the same reasons they like the western fairytales I mentioned earlier. Personally it gives me nostalgia about when I first watched Disney's Beauty and the Beast as a kid. It's nothing particularly new or groundbreaking but just a combination of tropes done right.
IDK why, but whenever I see Lord Rong Hao I'm always reminded of William Chan in Pearl Eclipse.
They were both in a drama Lost Love in Times where they played brothers. For the first 10 episodes, I kept confusing them for each other because they looked SO alike... almost like twins
The trailer is out already u can watch. He is pretty cool. Similar to dongfang qincangs character.
Dylan's character's brother was the real eunuch but was murdered. He stole his brother's identity and entered the palace to find the murderer and get revenge.
Can we all block that user. She is literally abusing bailu in her own drama section. I can't even understand why…
Lol! I think she might have a few screws loose or something. She also attacked me on YouTube because of a comment I made about this drama. Judging from her comments, I think she believes Wang Hedi is her personal property.
Are the subtitles incorrect? Why do they always call him Aunt Lu? π
I'm no expert since I'm not Chinese but it's probably because the gender roles in his relationship with Dengdeng is reversed. She's the clan leader so she has to take on a masculine role while Lu Yan as the clan leader's husband has to take on the feminine role because he married into the Yu family.Their children will probably have the Yu surname too instead of his own surname.
Every time I start a new drama, there's always a recurring theme in the comments. Some people find the FL irritating and want to drop the drama just a few episodes in. I thought that as Cdrama watchers, we should all be used to the fact that FLs in most cdramas usually start off as annoying/naive until they experience things that cause them to mature and undergo character development.
Cdramas are usually coming of age stories and that's why the girls start off quite childish until they blossom into womanhood. Have patience with the drama and you'll eventually (well sometimes because it's not always the case) get what you're looking for.

Some overzealous fans really need to chill out and stop causing fan wars over little things.
