I came here so frustrated, now Im relieved. Other viewers feeling the same. The character of HY is probably the…
I understand your disappointment with the HY character in the drama. I also find him rather 'meh'. It would have been good to show some more of his inner struggle between supporting Anle and being loyal to his family. Him testing her to make sure she has solid evidence was ok, but the fact that he wants her to live on as Anle is just ludicrous. I mean he knows her character (and presumable loves her for it) so how could he ask her to stop being who she is just for the sake of keeping everything quiet. The writing really puts him in a very bad light.
Wow the hater they really worker overtime cause they rate some of the episodes low score even though it have been…
MDL should know who these people are. They should be banned from ever rating anything again. It should be technically possible to block episodes from being rated before they are aired. It would be the easiest way to stop this kind of thing.
Just had a look at the individual episode rating... Can someone please explain how people can already rate episodes 25-39 before they even air? Needless to say that the rating isn't good. Do some people really have no shame? Also, is there no technical possibility to block episodes from being rated before they actually air. It is quite clear that this is a fake "rating" that should be cancelled.
Watched episodes 22-24 tonight and they were actually pretty good. Yes, the outside setting still looks artificial, some dialogues are still just words without impact on the plot and the Fake still got too much absolutely pointless screen-time. BUT, at least the plot is moving forwards a bit and we finally get to see a bit of the inner conflict in HanYe and in Anle. Luckily while everyone else was busy with trivialities, LMX's elves have collected the evidence and prepared everything. I can only assume that they are elves and work at night, because we never get to see them. Also on the plus side, in these past three episodes only one person got to take a bath and it wasn't the Fake.
The drama did gave the viewers the impression that Han Ye believes the Di family was guilty . Note that Han Ye…
As I have said many times before: novel Han Ye seems to be an interesting guy, drama Han Ye, not so much. They really ruined what could have been a very nice, layered role for GJ.
I have yet to find a scene where Dilraba or Gong Jun overacted or gave any awkward unnatural expressions. Despite…
I've not seen anyone here seriously blaming the actors. It is quite clear that they did the best they could with the little they were given. For me, this drama's main weakness is the writing, with the whitewashed characters that lost all their edge.
They really dumbed her ass down! She was such a brave, diligent, and loyal friend. They did Anning a disservice.
The novel is officially labelled as "comedy" but it's only funny in the first few chapters. After that it turns very heart-breakingly serious. I just hope they didn't do the same as with BFTB and Unchained Love were they completely changed the tone with some misplaced, jarring jokes and overall silliness.

Yes, it's really frustrating to see all of our best novel heroines being pinkwashed and dumbed down in the drama version. I fear the worst for Legend of Shen Li...
Same here. I enjoyed the romantic scenes but it felt that they edited out some important ones that revealed Hanye's…
True. The actors cannot be faulted for the bad production, bad CGI, bad writing and the strange lighting. Even under these less than ideal conditions they manage to deliver a drama that is still watchable and engaging.
I watched only 6 episodes and honestly DESTINED is better by far. If Gong Jun wasn't the ML I wouldn't even watch…
I guess one of the reasons why Destined is perceived as a better drama is that the characters were allowed to be intelligent and the villains were allowed to be scheming. There is also a lot more going on plotwise. The coming and going of important characters combined with the changes of location makes it feel much more dynamic. LOA feels a bit like: we've got three big names and a popular novel - our work is done.
Anyone notice at that lantern festival that Han Ye bought RenAnle a rabbit lantern and it was actually a birthday…
That's not how I understood it... He told the story of his lantern festival together with DZY as children, where he bought her a lantern (or several lanterns, I'm not sure) He then learned that it was her birthday the next day when he was about to leave. Since he didn't have time to get her another present he sent a letter saying that the lanterns he got for her the day before were the birthday present.
Is Anle's motivation in the drama justice or revenge? For her are they the same thing? Reflecting back over the…
Yeah, their strategy seems to be super-secret, nobody has seen them prepare anything (but LMX informed us that everything is now ready) or even seen them sit together whispering. Strangely we were always kept informed of the Marquis' latest schemes...
I don't understand why Rjl always takes romantic dramas, when he won't do kiss scenes, it will make things worse
I keep asking the same question... I also know that his fans will argue that a kiss is not the ultimate expression of romantic love (well, for me it is!) so before this page turns into a mud-slinging contest, let's just agree that views differ. Let's just wait and see how it goes. And who knows... he might give us a surprise this time...

I'm looking forward to seeing this!!
It fits very well!
