I don't like costumes, they make me feel confused. Female dresses mixed too many Ming and Qing fashion styles,…
That's fair. Though, personally, I'm less critical about it. I do appreciate when a drama faithfully recreate a specific era, just like in Flourished Peony and its Tang dynasty costumes/styling. Then, I'm also open for some creativity if the production feels like it as well.
The only time I'll be very critical about costume is when a drama is set around specific real historical events.
Rong Shanbao's aura though. The actress really brought it out. First time watching her in a drama, and my expectations are pretty positive based on today's episodes.
Among the many good things, special shoutout to the costumes. Like FL's black outfit in ep4 the best so far, so striking and elegant.
From what I've read from other commenters XG doesn't pay the father or the mistress's daughter any mind, thank…
In legal view, Xiguang and that lady aren't related in any way since XG's father hasn't married that mistress yet.
For point A, I think that's surely the case.
For your point B, my impression so far is that Xiguang's mother seems to be also a real deal and Xiguang herself isn't that interested in her father's assets. So, even if her father cuts her off, most likely she'll be fine I think.
may be u hace heard it that this novel have two books one released 10 plus years ago it is where lin yu sen and…
Thanks for the background info. This one wasn't on my radar, so didn't get to pick up the novel before the drama airs.
In the universe where ZX is the ml, that's gonna be like Lighter and Princess all over again lol (in terms of the vibe). I loved the drama, but ML surely was a piece of work.
l want the SML to suffer about his loss of the FL, he doesn’t deserve to be happy before he’s learnt his lesson.…
I agree with the part about her being over 2ml. Because, she's very honest with her feelings and she already gave a 'go' sign to Yusen to let him know she's open for a relationship. If she's not over 2ml yet, she wouldn't do so imo.
Finally caught up. I absolutely love everything about this drama so far. Cozy and calm atmosphere, small and simple interactions between the characters, steadily warming relationship between the leads... it kept me a smile on my face throughtout the entire 17 episode binge watch.
Zhuang Xu is porbably one of the most detestable characters I've come across in a while, because of how close to reality this character really feels. He's just self absorbed in the misery of his own making, and everything about him really give me an ick.
For his increased screentime in recent episodes, I would like to think that the drama is not selling him as a good guy to the viewers. Instead, I think it is to draw parallels with Lin Yusen more vividly. Anyhow, I disliked him from when he gaslighted Xiguang in the form of an 'advice' in ep1-2. Nothing will salvage this character for me.
Well this is usually the double standard between male & female character in a drama. FL needs to hold the…
That is so true. In one of the drama discussions, FL got severe ptsd and is closed off to everyone. Then, some of the comments calling her bad and even says 'hate her' because she doesn't respond to ML's advance. It was even at the very beginning of the story. Empathy totally went out of window there, I was at a loss for word for a while.
Ep 5-6. What a muddy water the leads are in. I actually like this calm yet tension filled vibe.
The script makes me feel the events are on an accelerated timeline though, not that I mind it that much. The real meaty stuffs are yet to come and I'll be content enough if they are done well.

And, a heterochromia cat having dual personality was definitely not on my bingo card lmao

I was totally out of loop with this one. The novel was really really good. Definitely giving this a try.
The novel actually opens with THE dramas... and it was straight up roller coaster from there. lol
