I did not like A Love So Beautiful at all (only that last few eps were okay) and not so much Put Your Head on My Shoulder. Is there any point trying to watch this? Is there anyone who liked this but not the other two?

Yes I understand what you're saying, or at least I think so, and I also have noticed this is very common in c- and k-dramas. Perhaps I made my point too shortly, but my assumption is that this kind of FL vs SFL setting is to sell what drama makers assume (who knows if they are right or wrong) is a "female fantasy". That many viewers feel they are very average looking, clumsy etc. - always lacking when comparing themselves to other people. And so when they watch a drama they would feel connected to this kind of FL and imagine that they also could get the perfect guy to love them just as they are. And in this fantasy it's important that the SFL is super pretty and capable, so that it's clear that the ML has what seems to be the better choice, but he still chooses the average FL. This being said, I myself have always enjoyed watching beautiful and capable FL's who don't give me second-hand embarrassment :D

I think I'll wait and see how the reviews are when the whole drama is out and then watch if they are good.

This was so stupid and unnecessary, especially since in the novel it was the opposite: the mother was actually trying to get them back together but the ML resented FL for the break-up etc.

This is the first drama I saw Leo Wu in, it was a bit difficult to accept him as an adult romantic lead after remembering him as an underage teenager :D

Because they want to show us that the ML chooses the FL because he loves her, not because she's the most beautiful.

I was eager to watch this, but after reading these comments I realized what I actually miss is Lin Yi's character in Love Scenery, so decided to re-watch that instead :)

I was thinking the same. They clearly they set it up for a second season, and since the first season has been doing well we probably get one.

Thank you! I think the thing that I missed was that the prince/ML would not be considered a possible successor if he was not married. Wow, the sister was really a scumbag.

Aren't he 14 episodes on WeTV the main series? At least I only found that one on there.

So the emperor was a prince and needed that Lu guy to back him up to become an emperor - or later it seems like back him up as an emperor but at some point I think he said it like the first one. Anyway in exchange he has to marry Lu's daughter as the empress, so his current wife needs to die. And she dies, either kills herself or the emperor kills her, to fulfill the big plan. But then he, who is now the emperor, does not marry Lu's daughter and the now dead wife has instead lured the little sister she envies into the trap. Why? Yes, she is the soft spot of his brother, but wasn't this whole thing about needing Lu? Or was it that if he marries the little sister, he does not need Lu anymore, and this was the wish of the dead wife also for some reason? Maybe for her son's sake?

Was this a huge plot hole or did I not get something? More details in the comments under a spoiler tag.

Are you sure you watched all the episodes? In the end of ep 17 the ML died. Then in ep 18 FL killed both herself and the emperor. Eps 19 and 20 showed scenes from their past, everything in those two eps happened before the events in the first episode.

It's a sad ending :(

There are 20 episodes. The ending I will put under a spoiler tag.

Yes

Great, thank you!

Does anyone know when to last ep is supposed to air?

Viki is the best, but they are a bit behind. WeTV has more eps. They are both legal and have good subs.

I'm surprised to see the comment section so negative. I have seen around 150 Chinese dramas and this one is one of my favorites. I highly recommend this! I have read some parts of the novel also, and while I like the way they portrayed the FL in the drama more, maybe reading about the ML and his thoughts might make it easier for some viewers to understand his character and what's going on behind his solemn face.
