This was a really good watch. it reminded me of older Cdramas; it had a slower pace, less silly misunderstandings, genuine slow soft love etc.. the only thing I wished it had was a bit more romance— their relationship was extremely tame that sometimes it felt like they were roommates rather than husband and wife but other than that I loved this show and I think it’s one of Bai Lu’s strongest shows as her acting her was far beyond what I thought she was capable of.

No, which was a bit disappointing tbh…

okay thanks. I’ll wait a few more days. I don’t think I have the mental capacity to wait for one ep a day haha

I stopped at 12 because it was starting to lag for me. Have they gotten to the reason why they broke up? and are the new episodes in the future yet?

I think he’s wanted her gone from the team that’s helping his company with the IPO since he found out. Having her around is a constant reminder of what he did and it probably makes him feel more insecure than he already was to begin with. He’s started a new life, the last thing he wants is his ex in it.

Apple didn’t fall far from the tree with Jun; he clearly got his stalking trait from his rude, annoying and condescending meddling mommy. I absolutely cannot stand how she speaks to DY 😤

on ep. 20 and this Cao Ping guy is pissing me off. Is he stupid or something? He brought all of this on himself… he’s a scumbag. I’m dreading to see how this beef ends because he’s reckless and dangerous and clearly doesn’t mind roughing a girl up over baseless assumptions. He’s the one who screwed his and his sister’s life up and clearly refuses to take accountability.

I feel like the eps have gotten a lot slower and have less drive than before; like the plot is dragging. I didn’t really understand how LXX got the that ledge or why he was on the edge considering he is terrified of heights… I know it was a way for the leads to find out more about their stories etc… but that could’ve been done in a number of more believable ways… it just seemed so contrived. I am really ready for their present day episodes because at this point it just seems to have lost its momentum for now. I’m struggling to finish ep 12…

Far too much screen time spent on the SML again. I really don’t see the appeal of a man full on stalking the woman he likes to the point where she has had to repeatedly reject his advances and yet he keep coming back. It’s not cute or romantic, it’s creepy 💀

one of the best Kdramas I have watched in a longtime. they didn't manage to screw it up at the 11th hour with unnecessary conflicts or the dreaded amnesia arc, it was just a pure and simple ending where loose ends were tied up and everyone got a HE and the bad guy got his comeuppance. 10/10 for me!

Do we have any info on when we will get episodes in the present timeline yet? I love their past but I am dyyyying for their present scenes together and all the angst that goes with it!

They really are! I’m up to ep 13 and completely loving the main leads. although I will say the second leads are kind of annoying with the SML basically stalking the SFL. I swear episode 12 they had more screen time than the leads 😅

completely agree. I’m all caught up and just found out we’re down to 1 episode a day 😭

I am actually on ep 4 and liking it a lot more now. I just thought ep 1 was quite rough with the editing etc but I have since found out they had to do AI face on the ex which sucks, reminds me of POJ and the actor that had his face changed. it just takes you out of the show a bit but other than that I’m quite liking it now!

I need someone to tell me if this gets better. I finished episode one and so far haven’t been feeling it. the editing is taking me out of the show quite a bit and the weird AI face on the FL’s bf is also making it worse. I know I’ve only watched one episode, but does it honestly get better? I love both WC & TJC so I do want to give it a chance.

ahh okay that makes more sense. thanks!

can someone explain to me why Zhou Wan can’t just come clean with Lu Xi Xiao and tell him the truth once and for all? I feel like I’m missing the point here? like is this what separates them? I feel like it’s gonna be bigger than her concealing this and using him to get back at the mother or does it get worse from here on out?

not even finished episode 2 and I just KNOW this is going to be one hell of a ride. I’m mentally preparing myself for the emotional breakdown I’ll have when the separation happens 😭it’s giving L&P vibes ✨

what do we think is the reasoning behind the Cangbei Princesses’ maid/servant going to stay in the Ding mansion? it can’t just be because she grew up with MX and has a childhood love for him? surely it’s more than that? I feel like there’s more fires being added in the show for YeLi to put out and potentially more enemies to navigate too. I wonder how this will all play out when she starts to realise that her old servant and master are not real, or she does know deep down, but uses it as a coping mechanism to get through what she needs to do.

having said all that, the one character that I absolutely despised for so much of this show, ended up being my favourite and most cherished character and that was Ye Xian! he was such a a lonely and devastating character who never really had a chance growing up as the heir to a family he couldn’t fight or protect because of his illness. it was fascinating to see how the bitterness of his life and the fact that he was relegated to being an outcast in his own family transformed so beautifully to his final stand, protecting his country, serving his king and doing his family proud. I know he went initially to protect FL but in the end it was for his people. a very in depth character that WinWin brought to life. I will def watch more dramas that he’s in because of his acting!
