@Miss Moon Actually, it's unfortunate for her. Haven't you wondered why the rating for the drama is stuck at 8?

@logiquement I came to MDL to make exactly these observations! I like WJY, but I would like to see more emotional range and nuance in her acting. In this drama her character has no development arc, she charges at every challenge in a rage,, which is a problem with the writing. but also with her interpretation of the role.

I agree but SL has a lot of fans.

Cute villains are often the most evil - think QM in PoJ and SL in LITC

Spoiler tag, please

Waiting for the romance between the FL & ML to develop distracted from appreciation of the many strengths of this drama.

The 'husband accessory' sums up XZ story line as well as the commercial reality behind the casting of ZLH in that role to capitalize on his fan base and popularity.

thanks for the correction!

That's a big drop from the opening 8.1. I hope the director and writers take note.

Season 2 could follow the development stories of the sisters and go strong detection and case-breaking by the CP. Could be fun if director and writers improve their plot and character development. There was too much predictability in the plot of current season and not enough development of the lead characters and their relationship.

To be fair, RSB saved his life; he's not stupid to be grateful for that. And he also has kept his intentions hidden from her, so she's justified in not trusting him. I'm just not sure she's capable of loving anybody.

With those qualities of character she would be a great partner for LKL, if only he would wake up from his infatuation with the emotionally stunted RSB. But I doubt the writers would have the courage to make that happen.

👏🏽👏🏽 Sharp guesses! I'll go along with all except 12, simply because RSB will go soon through the start of a fake marriage with Yan and already almost married LJL - how many times can she put on a bridal dress and still hold on to her dignity?

Spoiler alert please?!

That's not my claim, actually. But in all my years of drama watching I've not seen such a passionate connection between a CP.

The romantic action between Neo and the FL in LITC has made cdrama history. Just saying.

We know that either his shifu or his father had a connection with Grandmother, which is why he was a marriage candidate. I hope he doesn't turn out to be evil!

I can't wait for Yan Bai Luo's reveal. He sees everything and every character's underlying motive, consistently holds to a firm moral position, acknowledges that LJL is RSB's preferred suitor, so why is he still in the Rong mansion?

I'd like to see outward signs of change from RSB. Her face consistently has the same fixed expression; when will she show some emotion? I can't decide whether this fixity is scripted or the actor's limitation.

I agree that the script could have been much stronger. The babies switched at birth is story gold; it's the root of everything that happens to the FL & ML but it seems like an ad-on, to increase the number of episodes.
