Honestly I've only seen him in one or two scenes so far but I wish I could unsubscribe him with extreme prejudice. I haaate corrupt ministers who don't respect anything or anyone. Hopefully his end is very satisfying, I can't wait to see him start losing pawns until he's alone and everything he's built crumbles under his feet.

I don't know why people keep worrying over the ratings, tbh. It's well known at this point that those can't be trusted because of trolls...

Yes, they did pretty good with what they had. I've seen worse from dramas with a way bigger budget...

Yes, I was very confused at the beginning of episode 3. We left MTH hiding from the guards in the prison at the end of episode 2, and then suddenly at the start of the following episode, she's out in the desert, changed her clothes, and somehow got into contact with ML. I actually went back to see if there might be a post-credits scene I missed, but no such thing...

Your metaphor made me laugh out loud.

Yes, that's true. It's only logical for them to release SMA's first, too, since she's the main character.

I think what they meant by "official" was "final" or something. But yes, it's official, just not the one who'll be used in the end, is my guess.

It's a teaser poster. It'll be replaced by a more "complete" one later on.

The former Crown Prince, Prince Qian. Died on the battlefied when the current emperor refused to send out reinforcements. He's played by Vengo Gao.

No, it's just outside of a building (an inner courtyard, I guess), with stairs going up at the front and pillars on either side. It's very narrow and distinctive, very recognizable.

Happens all the time, I think. There's one specific location in Blossom that I've seen in at least 3 different dramas (The Double and BoP included, if I'm not mistaken).

Probably not: from what I remember of NPE (besides it being terrible), I don't see how Tilan's story here could fit with what's portrayed there...

His most attractive feature in her eyes is that he's destined to be short-lived, that hasn't changed. That's the main difference between him and the other princes. Also, unlike them, he wouldn't ever try to force her to do anything (as you'll come to see in future episodes).

He's very, very respectful of her boundaries, which the others haven't been in the slightest (let's have a thought for sweet Prince Lie (I do like him, but that wasn't alright by any means) who tried to blackmail her by using her family's lives, or Prince Xin who won't take no for an answer, or maybe Prince Yu who wanted to kill her so he could marry his true love, and so on.). I just finished episode 20, and from what I've seen, had she told him to get lost and been serious about it, he absolutely would have vanished from her life.

I don't think he's changed at all, tbh. Also, his calculating nature is what makes him such a good match for her: they're both very clever and scheming, and understand each other with a glance.

Hope that helps.

There's no body swap. FL simply gained Gu Qing Zhi's memories. She's still Shen Xi He.

Re 3. I'm sorry, what? How does that even work lmao (I'm genuinely confused/amused)
ETA: Actually, I'm even more confused now that I think about it a bit more. Does that mean he married her as a man? Without knowing she was a woman?

Don't you love it when they spoil the entire storyline AND the ending in two paragraphs?

Before that, we had "Legend" and "Love of". Wonder what the next trend is going to be lmao

The female lead is clever, calm and resourceful. The male lead is calculating and also calm. They're both very well-matched and have a really interesting dynamic.

It's on WeTV :)

Blossom or The Double. The Fallen Lady Returns if you're not against minidramas, and if you want a modern one, Marry My Husband Japan.
