I'm so happy that this adaptation came out so beautifully and with such quality. I loved the novel, and loving the drama so much as well. So far, it is exactly how I've imagined it while reading the novel!
Tian Xiwei was the first actress that came to my mind for Fang Changyu while reading the novel. She really got casted later, and she absolutely nailing this character in the drama. 😍 (Thank you so much the casting director 🙏)
Now that we've seen the drama, I'm looking forward to the later arcs of the story even more now because this drama is cooking!
Well ofc I had many preferred actress for Shen Miao including Ziyi,I like her but I think after this she should…
Exactly my concern right now as well. And it's slated for 36 episodes? We are getting pretty choppy editing due to shorter episode count lately, especially in costume dramas. I really really hope the script writers can pull it off without compromising Shen Miao's scenes.
I like both actors, but I still think the casting could have been better. But since it's a done deal, I won't fuss it anymore.
(just my opinion) I am a huge fan of solving cases and mysteries. So, I am currently wathcing this drama now -…
My personal take is that Jadewind is more about the story behind each case, rather than the technicality of case solving. That's the biggest impression left on me after each case.
I think the husband's family generally hold majority of the control over the wife, unless the wife's natal family is very much stronger than the husband's family. Even then, there is the culture of 'saving face', so I guess this kind of dispute rarely go to court.
This drama is really going through all the plights a woman may face. The latest case is so messed up and sad to watch as well. All the power to grandpa.
I mean what sense does that make tho? Talent like that doesn't grow on trees. Live with your guilt and continue…
People are built differently after all. There are lots and lots of people who chose the easy way out. Just because some can live through their guilt, stress, and mental issues doesn't mean others similarly can. Can we blame them?
I'm really enjoying that the closure of all the cases are not some 'perfect' outcomes where things are black and white. Instead, they are somewhere in the grey area yet still grounded to reality, leaving the viewers with much to think.
The latest case is quite simple on paper, but you gotta get into her perspective to really get why she did what she did. Love how the drama is handling these cases.

The anger and sulking from Peiyi was very warranted.
"Don't give me tips. I wanna figure this out myself!"
(while the dude was poisoned and rolling on the floor) 🤣
Unveil: Jade Wind is not the same as them. If the investigation stuffs are not your thing, may be difficult to get into.
Bury him facing the capital.
So he can see how I'll avenge him."
Definitely one of the most metal revenge oaths I've seen in a cdrama!
For the current crown prince, yea, no mention so far.
