I figured reading the novel side by side helps, till we don't run ahead and read more than what is telecasted eadin spoilors. ahead.. so many small details in the novel adds to the understanding of the series and fills gaps iif any
I always loved Tian Xi Wei , she has a very positive and adorable aura. But i thought that was also limiting her as an actor. Really feel great that she got an opportunity to come out of her limitations and explore her acting abilities and she delivered it full on. this is her best to date.
Zhang Linghe is very handsome and he did extremely well since his debut. but i always thought i still couldnt connect to him. Not sure what it was, but in this series he has finally won me over. This is in my view his best role till date as well. 👏🏻👏🏻
For me I think it’s not really clear at this point. I like that for a change.
it better be teo seop... not ji su... someone who came as a substitute/with fake name.. to actually get her drunk and think it is alright to have a one night stand... good that FL is clear headed and didnt take that step......such a man , cant tolerate as ML.. i will go with the boring , but sincere guy
it just occured to me no one asked FL's brother if he wants a job in publicity department or what he wants or suitable to do... everyone just tried to get him a job, a nice job - that brings money and prestige.. .
poor chap hangs around thedept clueless.- he doesnt seem to get any work allocated, while everyone else seem occupied with something-
someone with better perspective please explain to me- why these young people go on 1 date, or see each other a…
atleast in my part of world, people who dated , did with an intent to marry. it used to be a big thing to approach someone you like , propose, and then get a yes. Dating as a concept actually didnt exist in 70s , not till late 90s , may be... they didnt date many people like it happens now... and many times they didnt even approach directly. may be through a sister or cousin .... it might sound a bit weird , but males and females didnt hang out this casually in those days,...people hid their feelings for years together , though they may know they liked one another.. and confessed when they thought was appropriate - when they reached marriable age , and mostly when the male secured a job and in a condition to approach female or her family to propose a marriage..
Wang tien chen and Christy Guo are pretty impressive though they have smaller screen times. I like their story…
this is where WTC and CG's characters differ... while she shuts herself off.. he is putting some effort to right the wrong... she should keep her eyes , ears and heart open to see it
Wang tien chen and Christy Guo are pretty impressive though they have smaller screen times. I like their story better. It could have been expanded more rather than giving us more of ye feng and ling yi story (which is boring!) .
They have an interesting story arc, really sad actually. I understand where both are coming from and their perspective. The doctor probably lost love of his life , in his own hands- the hands that cured many , couldnt save life of his loved one. But what i didnt understand is his reasons to marry her.. he married for himself (as a substitute),??for his parents and grand mother?? what are his actual reasons to marry her?
While i empathise with his backstory, i feel very sad for her side of story. she must be a few years older than ML. ..so ,She must have experienced more the loss of parents , life, lifestyle, , the shame humiliation of being blacklisted (from being kids of high achievers with great lifestyle to outcasted socially and from their place to faraway lands.. and being elder sibling , being unable to do anything for her younger sibling...being kept away from meaty areas of her profession, the only thing that she still manage to keep and could still cling on to - and to still manage to achieve something there only by denouncing her parents... even that wasnt enough to open doors.. i dont blame her desperation, the way the potential suitors abandon her when they realise the huge burden being associated with her mean. . she puts her research. above every one -- including her brother.. the only thing probably she believes incapable of backstabbing her.. and Everything she does gets defined by all these incidents.... her reasons for marriage are pretty straightforward and she is honest about it with her future husband,.. and it seems like she is still hoping for honest love there, but afraid to even expect it..just shuts herself off from all hope and expectation
Tian Xie Wei has a bubbly aura.. hope this one will give her a chance to break that mold. she should do 1 serious drama .. her acting is too saccharine to digest otherwise
Shen Jie- Shen Jie and Yan Lin both lost their precious care free lives and thrown into hell fire...though both engage in carefree and silly antics, both are smart where it matters.. such incredible friendship, wonder how it got so ruined in the 1st life of FL .... good that FL is letting her sister mary shen jie this time.
at ep 13 now.. Yan Lin - I really feel sorry for Yan Lin... he really loves her, so genuinely, and wanted to care and protect her and be there for her forever. life has dealt him some pretty bad cards...He distances himself from her on his own , figuring out in how much danger his family is , and fall of his family may impact her family and life as well... it is tearing him apart, but he accept it that he may not be able to wed her , but still continues to care and protect her from behind scenes .. Xiewei.. why do i feel he is interested in her from day 1 .. more like considers her his ... (he tells her not to reveal her heart to others lest they use that information to mess with her) ..in his case it seems she seems to occupy his heart that he hides from entire world. he keeps checking with yanlin and her status of their feelings.. yanlin being his cousin he has to consider ofcourse.. however it seems FL is totally unaware of his feelings for her. .. he gets jealous and pulls her away when he sees potential suitors Zhang Zhe,... pretty interesting character. Ideal hero ... at ep13 , i only liked his character because it was played by WXY. if it was anyone else ,i wouldn't have even noticed that character. Even though his screen time is almost negligible at ep13 ..WXY makes it worth it, makes us sit and notice... But his character at this point doesnt convince me that he should be end game for FL.
the story's setting is really sad - ML is villian Xue's 1st son , Yan clans nephew . Royal (Shen) family empress dowager is ML's aunt - his fathers sister. every side of this game is his relative only. including the rebel guy.... the fight for power and fight for vengence/justice is all within the family only. the only outsiders are FL and Zhang Zhe .. wish they should have been left out of this fight .. and they be end game ..
I always loved Tian Xi Wei , she has a very positive and adorable aura. But i thought that was also limiting her as an actor. Really feel great that she got an opportunity to come out of her limitations and explore her acting abilities and she delivered it full on. this is her best to date.
Zhang Linghe is very handsome and he did extremely well since his debut. but i always thought i still couldnt connect to him. Not sure what it was, but in this series he has finally won me over. This is in my view his best role till date as well. 👏🏻👏🏻
So we got a great pairing in these two .......😍

i still root for Yan Lin at ep13...
