He's too love-sick to think straight.

She looks so tiny next to these guys!!! Just like a little porcelain doll!!!
Yes, I know, LYN is pretty tall, but her dress even adds to the effect.

I'm counting on LMX for that!

I find her thin eyebrows even more annoying. Basically, EVERYTHING about her is annoying. Most of all that sense of entitlement "because she suffered so much..." 🙄

I think her make-up makes her look like a geisha (especially all that red around her eyes).

I don't think that they are survivors of the Di regiment. Otherwise Ziyuan wouldn't be so keen on getting that list of survivors and actively search for the guy who left the medallion.
I think the 30,000 naval troops are new recruits from Dongqian.

Yeah, his deeds from ten years ago seem a bit unbelievable seeing how totally underwhelming he is now. Every time I see him not-doing-anything my mind screams "what a wet blanket!".
It's definitely not the acting, but the way the role was written. I see that GJ is trying to add some subtleties here and there but he wasn't given much to work with.
This sadly reminds me of Journey of ChongZi when they gave Jeremy Tsui nothing to do for 40 episodes other than wave his hands in the air and look constipated. This kind of writing can only make the actors look bad.

That's the impression I got from her latest scenes. Not too sure how far the subs can be trusted but my interpretation was that her husband had the hots for Ziyuan's mother.

There is a fine line between having a female antagonist to create some tension and spoiling the fun for everyone by creating an unsufferable b*tch that takes up too much screen-time.
The writers obviously went a bit too far with this one.

It's a very nice role. He gets to do lots of scheming and looking mysterious... something that suits him very well! He also has a gorgeous female admirer, but this relationship is sadly also one-sided.

Well, she has been robbed. This is based on a female-centric novel that has her in almost every scene. In the first 40 chapters the supposed ML has made three or four very brief appearances. Her interaction so far has been mainly with the SML, Pei Yan. So the script-writers will have to mangle the whole novel to accommodate the ML in the drama version.

Actually, just checked, I've seen her in Ms Cupid in Love. It was a very silly drama and certainly not a role that gave her any opportunity to shine as an actress, but at least she wasn't annoying. So I just take your word for it.

I've never seen her in anything (I think...), so couldn't comment.

Yes, every decent drama has to have THE question that people keep asking without ever scrolling down to see that 500 other people already asked the same question before them 😂😂😂😂

Not at all. In PW the FL was an imposter who got lucky. Anle is the real deal pretending to be someone else.
Also unlike PW she can take care of herself without nearly getting killed every second episode by her adoptive family.

We are all wondering about the same thing. If you scroll down a bit, you will realise that currently, nobody knows...

Real astrology is a lot more complex than your patterns. This all just sounds like a collection of platitudes found within fortune cookies. Trying to fit humans into boxes based on their year of birth isn't a pattern, it's just superficial.
Also, I cannot concur regarding her acting as I quite like it.

The SML is one of the antagonists of the story (similar to his role in TBOY). The Princess sure looks cute and she is the FL's friend, but she is so dumb and naive that it hurts to watch.
Right now the two of them aren't really a couple. The SML only married the princess so that he can milk her blood (used as a cure for his sister) and she is so love-sick and dumb that she lets him abuse her in various ways without even realising that he is abusive. Their dynamics may change some time in the future, but right now (ep. 12) I'm not too keen on their scenes. They had quite a bit of screen-time in the more recent episodes. Some of them were hilarious, especially those with her eunuch spying on their "married life".

I'm intensely disliking this fake DZY. She feels like someone who would walk over a mountain of dead bodies to realise her ambitions. All because "she suffered so much already". Hopefully, she gets dispatched back to that mountain soon, preferably before she drags that love-sick bodyguard down with her.

If he really takes that long to work it out then they have not only made his character boring and bland, but also dumb!
I cannot say this too often: screen-writers who think they need to "improve" on perfectly fine novels should be sent to Anle's water prison. For life!
