Lycoris Radiata

So excited for this pairing! Both leads have a way of working themselves into my soul with their acting—no matter HE or SE I know it will be amazing.

This is so very interesting thank you! I have a random question but how does one find out who the music director is for series? I looked on Douban but couldn’t see it listed. Just wondering as some dramas have such cohesive osts such as Fangs of Fortune and Flirisged peony, that made me want to know who arranged it all.

I think it’s millet porridge?

Ah can’t wait for the next season to air! I really enjoyed this drama. I feel like if you study history, oftentimes you fall in love almost with some people from the past and wish you could change their fate. This drama really pays homage to this sense.

This is actually more entertaining for me than many other high profile dramas that aired this year--it's a nice and fresh take on time travel and the fight against fate.

Anyone else rewatching this nonstop for years? I love it so much 😭❤️

I think it actually is more realistic—she suffered immense trauma from Liu Chang and his family. It makes a lot of sense for her to be avoidant and deny herself the idea of happiness. Also a real marriage has so many misunderstandings lol, it took five years of fighting before my husband and I figured each other out.

Okay but Constable Chu is kinda hot—like I’m getting more invested in him😂🤗

Only up to episode 15 but the death of Yan Li made me so mad😭 didn’t even get to celebrate his son’s one month anniversary 😭

Yes and there are so many bts videos of Chen Duling lifting weights/dumbbells backstage whilst doing hair and makeup. Also she’s been filming a lot with Guo Jingming and he’s obsessed with making actors lose weight/be thin so that could have contributed.

I think it was common even in Europe—at least when my great great grandmother died in Sweden, her sister married her husband to protect her nieces (my great grandmother and her sister). It was amazing too because the husband had been an abuser, but the sister made him pay back 100 fold what he had made his late wife )her baby sister) suffer.

I hope someone writes fan fiction where he wanders and meets up with Ping’an—his story was so sad.

I think the same—especially how he always seems to give vague responses in court/never act directly

Very mature and realistic drama. Thankful it doesn’t have any of the annoying comedy like so many others have (just my personal preference). Really keeping me hooked!

I thought your points were very cogent! I think many people fail to realize just how deranged Henry was. I have a friend who worked at Hampton Court Palace and when he gave me a tour and described how the tapestries even were woven to promote Henry’s obsession with relating himself to people from the Old Testament or mythologies, it was so eye opening that he was truly ill.

No an annulment can only be granted if the marriage wasn’t consummated, or if it were a forced marriage, or lack of knowledge of entering the married state. None of these applied to Henry as he even petitioned Rome to marry Catherine of Aragon, his brothers wife in the first place. Annulment is not Catholic divorce although many misunderstand it. It signifies the marriage never was as the sacrament either lacked matter or form.

it wasn’t the Catholic Churches fault. He killed them because he wanted to and he had already started his own church after marrying Anne Boleyn. He could have divorced As he pleased but instead chose to kill them based on fabricated stories he invented.

Poor horse had to die too😭

Yeah it seems popular to hate on Yang Zi when even a very famous stylist said she was the NICEST in the industry to work with. She even buys food for her colleagues when the filming team drops the ball. Especially as someone who started out as a child actress, she is a remarkable case of talent.
