Yup, agreed, hence I felt Pei Zhen’s character is written to be pathetic.

Ah, yes noticed her reaction…there is more secrets yet to be known.
Oh, I see…thanks for sharing the history part. So we shall see what this second Prince’s role will be.

Yes! Well said, ‘childish antics’ indeed. 👍🏻

Initially I was thinking about siblings’ rivalry but what confused me is that SML doesn’t get his father’s love anyway. So to win ML, doesn’t have much of a benefit intention. Hence I felt it’s a conflictual emotions. He wants ML to be his best buddy brother and suffer together with such a father, but yet ML didn’t and yet able to shine well even without needing their family resources…So he wanted to used Hu Xiu but without realizing how HX is such a great character that he was also attracted to…hahahah. A petty immature state, which hopefully in his redemption arc, he will grow.

👍🏻Yes, we will see more and maybe our thoughts about him may or may not change ;).

Their relationship went frozen for 3years…lol! I really don’t like the CP tropes so far.
And 💯 agreed with you, that scene with the young monk was impactful, didn’t realise I would tear for that scene, nicely pace.
And my hypotheses is that the NanZhao Prince will eventually be the NanZhao King and be their ally to unite both country.😅

Hahahah…it takes them 3years to go on a honeymoon😅

I do not quite understand Pei Zhen’s hostility towards Xiao Zhi Yu. It’s kind of felt forced and inconsistent.
Let’s examine what we seen so far: XZY is better as an architect designer, who won awards and won over some business competitions from ZhuLing, but that only means that XZY is good in his area of work. Why does it creates such personal anger that PZ had on him?
PZ is not an architect, he only manages the company, so if any other good small architectural company won your projects, one should be wondering about his team of architects and not a personal grudge.
So if you say it’s from a step siblings’ relationship, XZY has always manage his studies on his own, independent and also choose to distant himself from his mom. So PZ has love from stepmom and resources from father, so why is he angry at XZY? He blames XZY for keeping the name Qin Xiao Yi in VR game, but what’s that got to do with him. It’s not like XZY has a choice, his name was changed by his own mom, and can’t he even keep it to remember his own father? Why is PZ so fixated over this matter?
My only explanation is PZ wants a brother and when his step-brother chooses to ignore him, he becomes angry, and all his behavior towards XZY is just to gain his attention.
If that is the characterization, then it’s a pathetic character who do not have a goal to live for himseld. Maybe that’s why he would fall for Hu Xiu, and be so jealous of XZY.
HX gave him new perspectives to ponder on and she is also the ‘light’ in his darkness and narrow-mind. Too bad we all know he won’t have HX, so his redemption arc will have to be something he could do in his work role.

Today, I will write about my thoughts on the character PeiZhen…

Agreed! In terms of acting wise, this actor here can emote emotions much better than the SML’s actor in SOM.

Thank you for reading and your kind words. You can selectively choose the episode you like to enjoy, don’t really have to watch the whole series.😉

Well written review! 💯 agrees that this drama have all the good element from acting to set and great storyline. Definitely a nice wrapped up for 2025;).

Agreed with this. The misunderstanding felt forced and unnecessary.

It’s a VR role playing, so there are sets in the game that are real.

You will get there, RSB will deal with him;)

Happy.

Good spot. That is probably a set up on how this character is already not fully presence to his relationship. 👍🏻

🙌🏻👍🏻🥰

Yup. Just an open discussion here. Obviously we are sharing different perspectives. Cool. Peace;).

There may be no universal rule towards cheating, and one can say it depends on what one couple considers as cheating, and another may find it acceptable.

Let me share a definition on cheating/Infidelity under WebMD:
“Cheating in a relationship means breaking the agreed-upon boundaries of exclusivity, typically involving sexual or emotional intimacy with someone else without your partner's consent, which betrays trust and commitment. It's not just physical; it includes emotional affairs, cyber infidelity, and behaviors like excessive secrecy or inappropriate flirting, and the specific definition depends heavily on what each couple defines as off-limits.”
So WGM not setting the right boundaries has crosses the line.
