I just quickly block haters - it’s always the same people, so once you’ve blocked them, you’ll only see good discussions for every drama.

Hao Du in The Long Ballad, the imperial scholar husband of the eldest daughter in Perfect Match, or the ML in The Princess Royal are all examples of well-respected matrilocal husbands in dramas (the latter even becomes prime minister). I think the position needs to be differentiated from ‘kept men’ which were not properly officially married Fu but were instead taken in like concubines, which indeed had a much lower status and disrespect.
But you’re right that it’s still not quite as respected as when the wife marries into the husband’s family, which I think is why the FL goes for a third son who won’t inherit anything. She pursues the prince only for gaining protection and influence, not as a potential matrilocal husband, right?

Matrilocal husbands were always a reality in Chinese culture, so I don’t see the realism issue.

I agree! From the start, he deserved to know he would become a father and given a chance to be part of his children‘s life! He also sounds emotionally devastated by her ghosting him after their first sexual encounter and thereby breaking up with him. And he deserves to know that his son has a life-threatening illness, and that he‘s a potential donor who could save him! Imagine if he found out one day that his children were not only kept from him their whole lives, but that one of them died when he could have saved him!

This FL obviously has extremely serious communication issues, doesn’t explain anything, and yet expects him to just be an emotionless automaton performing its duties without understanding anything! She‘s not treating him like a human being but like a stud horse incapable of higher reasoning. I can’t wait to see some genuine human to human respect blossoming here.

Depends on your time zone! For me, they aired early in the morning.

I wonder: why is it counting down to ep. 14 instead of 13? Is it already possible to watch 13 somewhere??

By now I‘m even more invested in Miss Zhou and Prince Changyi‘s story than the main couple, they are soo cute together.

Does anyone else think that the FL looks a lot like Simon Gong in female form?

The fourth couple in PM has tons of chemistry and cuteness, it was worth sticking to the series for me. I think the couples get better and better as the series progresses.

Yes, that slow hilarious fight scene with Prince Hengnang pouting like Zoolander was so entertaining! Not sure if it was meant to be so funny, but I don’t mind!

It was just a tongue in cheek first impression post during the first episode, and mainly meant as a praise for the actor, no need to take this so seriously! Didn’t you see I updated it right away with my revised opinion after watching ten more minutes?

So far, I’m having so much fun with this comedy! It’s laugh out loud funny sometimes and makes you giddy with excited anticipation.

But then he crushed a little bird in his hand and I understood her. 🥲

Running away in your wedding dress is a time-honored drama tradition that all running brides somehow have to follow. 😂 You can‘t blame her for a traditional gal, now can you?

I just have to ask: why is her evil fiance/husband so beautiful? 😻 I was like girl, think twice about running! 😌😅

It means a longterm enemy relationship between two clans or families, but can also be used figuratively and hyperbolically in the way Freja described.

He‘s clearly an amazing actor!! I can‘t believe how different he is here.

To be honest I‘m still team SYR, he was so grown-up, reasonable, and full of integrity, plus honestly in love with her! I found him much more attractive than immature DYX, I would have chosen him. 🤭🤷‍♀️

Yes, I bet 4th sister’s new husband pretended to torture him to death so he could escape from prison!

I hope so much she will end up with his friend instead!
