On episode 13 now...It's nice to see that the pace has picked up again. There's not much time left to bring this to a (hopefully happy) end. I feel that both the ML and the SML will have some hard choices to make in the coming episodes.

Screen-writers to-do list:
1 snow scene
1 walk through the lantern festival
1 walk under falling flower petals
1 stop at a stall with animal masks
1 scene of FL tripping over her own feet and ML catching her
...

Yes, his subtle acting cannot be faulted. I've complained before that his role is kind of boring, but GJ definitively makes the most of what he's been given.

Yes, I'm sure they are negotiating hard and maybe not confirming a release date for all the episodes is part of their strategy. Let's hope for the best because we deserve to see his face when he finally finds out 😆

I don't mind her existing in the story, but she really doesn't need to be so visible. She is so pathetic and annoying that it almost feels like they've borrowed a typical xianxia trope of the annoying SFL who cannot die.
They could just send her back to the mountain and the problem would be solved.

Hahaha, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with "cross-over references" 🤣🤣🤣

I guess he will have to do some begging... Wen Kexing-style 🥰 I hope! Maybe compliment on her beautiful butterfly bones 🤣🤣🤣

Ah, this must the the second most frequently asked question (after "when will he find out her ID"??) 😂😂😂😂
From what I've understood there is a dispute between Youku and the production company, so Youku may not be sure when they will get all the episodes.
I just hope they won't leave us high and dry on a cliff-hanger...

Butterflied Lover - surprisingly good.
Legend of Anle - interesting and very pleasant to watch if you can ignore the really bad CGI

Oh dear, but I would say this one was "self-inflicted" 😂😂

It started fabulously. The first two episodes were a wild ride, then came the 4-episode long flashback to the beginning of their relationship which for my taste was a bit too slow and boring (especially after all the excitement of the first episodes). Now that this is over it is getting interesting again with scheming side characters and a second couple.

Probably the same - it all just sounds more respectable if you do it in 10 different languages 😂

It reminds of how the EU selects commissioners 😂😂😂 Seems nothing has changed since ancient times, just the titles and costumes are a bit different .

But the grand-mother doesn’t know that she knows… only the official saw her and he hanged himself.

Maybe it’s because you only watch a certain type of show…heavy on pretty boys and time travel. There are plenty of dramas that I love but I never seem to see you there. 😂😂😂

It gets "worse"... there is a hot spring 🤭

I thought this looked interesting, with some decent actors.
Then I saw that the director is the genius who gifted the world with ChongZi and Dear Mr Heavenly Fox. In other words, a specialist for suffocating any story in endless misunderstandings and cliches with the help of characters that are too dumb to ever ask the most obvious questions.
And he wants to direct a detective story??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What a ridiculous drama! And what's with all the modern gadgets and travel to "Europe" (but "be back soon")???
Also, the plot (king of animal tribe lost pearl, girl swallows it by mistake, he gets close to her and falls in love, etc.etc.) sounds strangely similar to that of Dear Mr Heavenly Fox.
Was this the suggestion of the week in the script-writers magazine?

Not really - how could I hate the guy, up to chapter 40 he's barely been around... 🤣🤣🤣
What I hate, however, is script-writers distorting a perfectly fine novel, especially when it is at the expense of the female main character. Sadly this one is far from an isolated case...

Oh, I wil!! I want to see her bubble burst and pray that her love-sick bodyguard will see the light before it's too late!
