Can i just confirm again that this story is not based on any novel adaptation? Is it a whole new plot created by the team? Loving it 🥰

Good that you decided. I think i might watch 1 episode today and see if my heart can take it to continue 🫣

Yay! HMH is a good actor, has a likeable personality outside and a charming face. He also look very easy-going, chill & friendly. Not to mention he can sing & dance too. Truly an idol-turned-actor whom we are very proud of. Ive not seen him putting any airs around him or awkward in any way. Keep it up to HMH!

And Aimi is truly remarkable. I had doubts how this drama would fair with her being the lead, but she nailed it. Her acting is chef kiss! She seems shy in outside promotions since this is her first main role and being in the main limelight and all...but girllll, get used to it! More to come, I'm sure!

I am still at Ep 21 and delaying my time to watch the rest. But i keep peeping the reels in TT and i smell a very heart-wrenching end. Especially today's episode. I am contemplating whether to continue or wait. Urgh.

Just wondering. I've not seen Riley Wang in their promotions. Did i miss any of the online meets? Was he among them? Wanted to see his real life character!

Agree. He has this mesmerizing way of loving someone with only his eyes.

Unpopular opinion but i actually like it. Too long into the palace drama make it draggy. Also, the manageable number of episodes make it easy for me to re-watch. Lol.

I think he just thought that Xie Jiayu will remain loyal and wait for him. He took things for granted. But there were too many things happening. Its imposible for him and her to work out anyways. I cannot imagine Xie Jiayu living with Li Mao, with Grand Tutor (aka fake loving father) breathing down their neck. Eww.

You said it exactly. I was almost feeling exactly the same as you - worried that Li Mao will be heartbroken to see his bestfriend and sweetheart falling in love w each other. And yeap, now no longer too!

It is so refreshing to see the other 2 wives. This seems to be my first cdrama with wives being good and positive with one another. The way they look out for each another is so heartwarming. I hope it stays like that.

I understand these 2 wives have had their husband/lover in their lives before, having experience love with a significant other. But how could they resist having such a powerful, wonderful heroic figure as their husband currently? 🤣 In another arc, i will believe that at least 1 of the other wife might eventually fall for him, or at least have some jealousy. The current situation is too ideal 😅 Not that i am complaining. But really, how did they not fall for him?! Lol.

Yes i saw in TikTok snippets of his yearning. Cant wait!

I am still at Ep 15, where Wu Yi & Jia Yu are both in prison. The scene where Jia Yu was bandaging his hands and him looking at her. I paused and see how pitiful Wu Yi is at that moment.
The way he look at her.... He loves her so much but cannot say it out..

He was willing to let her go, prepared the divorce letter but Emperor did not allow. So he is stuck. Willing to let go but unable to. Wants to have her but cannot have her. Poor thing 🥲

PS : HMH acting is sooo good. His expressions oh my gosh. Solid! I am very happy & satisfied at how much he has grown as an actor! 💕

Agree! Her actions are making our hero crazy. Hahaha.

He probably already had some interest in her to begin with. And then here she is with all her quirks and strange habits. Maximum curiosity unlocked!

I am a fan of Cheng Lei and will always do. Everytime i sees his acting, i felt a sense of comfort and warmth. Watching him on the screen makes it so pleasant. He nails all the micro expressions. I enjoy "reading" into it.

I like Bai Lu's dramas and will usually follow/watch her dramas because she usually has quite a range of good scripts and will never disappoint. Plus, her male leads are always eye candy lol.

I am still up till ep 6, but i love that tree cutting scene! The look of disbelief on ML was so funny when he saw FL chopping the tree. Cheng Lei's eye, face, cheek movement said it all at once! Hahaha. Its like horror + disbelief + curious mixed in one!

I cannot stop cracking up for every episode, i had to stop myself from rolling around. FL is sooo funny, i cannot 🤣 Her acting is on point, i am so satisfied with every bit of her scenes. ML on the other hand, ive seen him in When the Phone rings and loved they way his voice delivers. Over here, he is outstanding.
The 2 of them combined is hilarious! ML is supposed to be a fierce & rude person, but with FL, he is soft like a tofu! LOL

I was watching other C-dramas but this is seriously the only Kdrama i am attached to at the moment.

Same sentiments. Many said he will have character development. I am at ep 26 but is still not feeling it. His madness made me go mad as well.

Personal take - i dislike men who cant take rejection, who thinks that the world revolves around them only. Ye Xian is in denial. Felt like FL need and must reciprocate to his feelings, when he has not even tried being clear in his intention of liking her. Time waits for no man. ML did what he need to chase FL. All's fair in love and war.

FL's elder cousin Yao, on the other hand, took rejection gently and swiftly. He respected FL and her decision. He dotes on FL and has a soft spot for her. His feelings were not clearly shown but we know deep down he probably have some tiny feelings for FL.

I am at Ep 26. Seeing how Ye Xian go berserk, mad & raging, is turning me off real big time. I keep seeing people saying he will have character development. But with his anger issues and temperament like that? He is arrogant, has anger issues & get mad when things doesnt go his way. The worst part is he lashes out even at the girl he is supposed to be in love with. How is he ever supposed to marry and support the girl, when he cant manage his emotion well? Girl will suffer physically in the marriage when quarrels happen btw them. It pains me to see FL tearing up trying to calm him down, her eyes sad & probably fearful. If FL isnt strong-willed in her own heart, she might probably backed out from ML's proposal. Lucky she had it all settled and cleared her mind before Ye Xian's outburst.

I sort of started this and is now at Ep 18. Am i the only one who gets irritated by Ye Xian and the crush he has on FL? His crush for FL is like a high schooler who cannot let go. Moping around brooding over things, always getting angry, and then finding updates on her 24/7. He gets excited hearing about her but no courage to actually say or show some gentleman act. And then he gets mad about whatever the outcome is. The whipping scene was a totally turn-off for me. Urgh!

Oh really? That would be interesting to watch too.

The Xin Mei in drama here is so soft, cute & gentle. She is like the purest & gentlest kind of immortal. Wants nothing but the best for everyone around her.
