😄 I have little tolerance for childish FL and messy script. So many fishes aka dramas out there. I may give another try lol

You give me hope. I dropped it. Loll

Royal feast is Very good. Could be slow for you though but it is an in-depth slice of life of the palace kitchen, hierarchy etc. A complicated love story but very believable.
Chef hua is very food oriented but mostly rural, not palace.
Royal rumors is also great
New life begins is definitely a must watch too

Love like the galaxy is a 10 for me but I agree that last 2 episodes were a bit disappointing but still my top 3 period drama…. Love between fairy and devil is a 9.5 but here again final episode was a miss… I dropped the long ballad, don't like FL…. Joy of life is a perfect 10… currently watching sword snow stride, thanks to you and probably a 9.5 or 10.
I suggest… the story of Ming Lan, New life begins, Royal rumors, Royal feast and Chef Hua…. Those have no martial arts, more slices of family or royal life.
The Untamed is for me THE BL period drama to watch
Princess agents is drama I was the most upset with but once I read the novel, I became more accepting considering season 2 never aired, therefore no happy ending and conclusion.
Anyways… thanks for the tips. Always fun to find you around lol

Short answer… yes

The story is a combination of a family saga and political drama. The first 10 episodes may seem slow, but they lay the foundation of the story. If you are worried about the number of episodes, you can opt for 12 or 24 episodes dramas. However, if you prefer in-depth dramas, then this one is for you. It is a slice of life that takes you behind the doors of a few families, showcasing the relationships between first wives, concubines, and children. Moreover, it features a beautiful love story.

lol 😆 Zhang Ruo You is really impressive but kudos to the scriptwriter.

Your passion is contagious. I will try it, plus I have a soft spot for Shawn Dou whom I fell for in Princess Agents.

I really hate the long period in between seasons grr

Bittersweet then?

Currently watching Snow Sword. Thanks for the tip. Same witty character. Will let you know my impressions ;)
I think I mix it with the dance of the phoenixes

I enjoy only happy endings :P but will give a try with sword snow and rise of the Phoenix. I do not like the FL in long ballad but love Zhao lusi and wu, Kunning is too sad for me.

I suggest the story of minglan, rumors feast and new life begins. Recently I enjoyed a low budget k-drama “faith”. I have watched a few but I definitely crave dramas such JOL ;)

Thanks for the suggestion!!. Plenty of dramas but few masterpieces. I am generally more into secondary characters. My major pet peeve is childish play and unfortunately dozens out there.

No I don't want to know about his origins. I love spoilers but somehow I think I will enjoy it more if I don't know too much
Love stories though are not in the center of this drama so it is fun to picture him a womanizer lol

So ML got 3 affairs… emperor of Qi, haintang and Lin waner? No silili.
I thought his father was the emperor? Lollll I need to read the book. My imagination goes all over the place

Thanks!
So my assumption that ML will not end up with his sweetheart is correct. I am expecting she will die because of him. I would have thought haitang was his real love after the death of his sweetheart's first love. The connection with hairang is too intense.
So you are saying that the emperor of Qi who is a woman will probably marry the prince (ML when he will be revealed son of emperor and next crown prince)….. Wow I didn't see that coming but it makes sense. Unless ML had an affair when he was in Qi which was cut from story in this tv drama?

So why the emperor of Qi is a woman?

Perfection. Nothing else to say.

Dropped at episode 10. Even using fast forward, I could not stand it anymore. Pity

Once again, I dislike the female lead because she seems too immature. It is a romantic comedy but still annoying to watch the dumb maid, the stupid emperor, and the childish behaviours all around. I am pushing myself to continue watching the show despite her character.
