I just realized the show ends this Saturday. Shout out to all of us who have made it this far. lol! π€£π€£ Let's…
π― the leads and the commenters here are helping me continue with this drama! Tbh, I was so looking forward to this drama but it has been meh for me! π€¦π»ββοΈ
I wish there are more viewers/commenters like us who are currently watching this show. TBH, this is one show I'm…
Wow...ππΌ for being able to hold out on costume dramas! π I know people like you exist out there. π€£
I've been soooo looking forward to LOA; didn't read the novel so my subjective opinion is a mixed bags filled with other novel readers shares and my own. The scriptwriters and multiple directors might be the caused of some angst with the drama. It has been meh for me because I enjoyed other costume dramas due to other characters (besides the leads) in a drama. I've fast forwarded a particular character's scene (fake DZY) & rarely rewatched the eps (uncharacteristic of me particularly if I like the drama). I'll let you formulate your own opinion (please do share w/ me when you do watch it). Dilraba, Gong, and LMX are making it work.
Ugh that Zhang Ke is such trash. I also didnβt like how the whole thing with HH and JJ unfolded. Itβs okay…
π― I also liked the cute scene when the friend finally got her to admit that it (future gossips) didn't bother her when they lived together but now that they are neighbors with the revelations of feelings might. It meant that she might have 'something' there as well. π€£ *wink*
Very good episodes. Much progress made. I am glad Yuan Yuan stood up for herself and didn't fall back into her…
I wish there are more viewers/commenters like us who are currently watching this show. TBH, this is one show I'm currently watching sans fast forwarding like LOA, etc.
All of the female characters are intriguing and their careers/romances stories are progressing/developing beautifully.
Yeah, Not quite getting why they are hiding Jin Yan from Zi Yuan. It isn't like she hasn't spent the last 10 years…
OMG! I thought I was the only who thinks others are being selfish for not sharing with her (it isn't like she can't keep a secret or low profile/DL on things π€£). Thanks for your candor/acknowledging/ranting about this. π
I read your arguments/perspective (appreciate how you're putting it out there); please excuse the brevity of this…
I love your sounding reply (indicative of intelligent/fair) and basically, I appreciate how you're vocalizing and taking a different perspective/angle for this 'character'! My beloved mom has a saying, "Even the nicest person has someone who does not like them and the meanest/most difficult person has a friend!" *wink* I get your point as well; she was not mature enough (young age) to gasp what she was giving up (i.e. freedom/commitment & diligence on becoming fake DZY/ etc) in place for a new life. Understood; she has every right to feel BITTER and to be fair, she doesn't have the social education/etc that some of us have the luxuries of having (sans parents' teachings/wisdoms/etc)! Valid. Definitely a flawed character to induce 'drama'/antagonism/comments on MDL. lol
Maybe some of us are expecting her to be 'noble' or come to the realization that 1) Yes, she was used as a pawn, however, she is still alive as opposed to the 80K soldiers and DZY's family who lost their lives!,......I feel like other commenters already listed multitude of reasonings on how she ought to be grateful for her new stationing in life.
π€£ Yes, most of us are guilty of fast forwarding, walking away, or muting due to our disdain for her character and how much screen time she is getting (as opposed to novel)! π Keep on enjoying and love reading all these comments! π₯°
Making a defence for Di Chengen - yes I can already hear the calls for me to be banished from MDL, but please…
I read your arguments/perspective (appreciate how you're putting it out there); please excuse the brevity of this reply. *I love shares and differences in opinions/viewpoints. I agreed with the sentiment of victimization for the past 10 years, however, as a humble person, one would greatly appreciate the change in circumstance (you had mentioned this). In my subjective opinion, she is greatly guilty of 'entitlement' issues! There are plenty of 'victim(s) characters' out there in the real world/or dramaland who are GRATEFUL/or complecent for their current 'better' stations in the world post 'sufferings'.
IMHO...i.e. I didn't like her 'entitled' tones and in addendum, I did not like how she was cornering and thinking she is 'better' than Ren Anle when she thought Anle was a threat (CP). As a CP and future Empress, she has to accept the fact that CP's or Emperor's affections will be shared. Off topic, she was so GOOD at playing a b*&)* that I sometime wonders if she is one in real life. lol π€£π€¦π»ββοΈ
No, Ren Anle never becomes crown princess in the novel.I'm only up to episode 11, but it tracks pretty well except:-…
Thank you for your last bullet and shares on novel vs. drama; I was thinking that the novel writer/or screenwriter must not have been realistic since most emperors' have multiple offsprings (not just two..)! π€£ π€¦π»ββοΈ
Some entertainers (i.e. actors/etc) become more comfortable in their own skin as they mature/age; they tend to improvise and rely on their own experiences/prowess as opposed to being 'told' or less guidance. π I believed that is happening with Dilraba here; she is able to inject more humor/quirkiness in her character here! π
I hate to admit this but I finally understand why he has so many fans like you out there! Yes, I was one of them…
Appearance wise, I like him in historical better; maybe I'm not acclimated to the styling/dated look for Youth Memories even though he looks very attractive there as well.

Thanks again for your shares! Correct points on his improvements. Let's not get started how π₯ WYB is (in Born to Fly) because I don't want to take away from XZ's presence and this drama.
If you don't mind my candor, I did try to watch OoL and the one with Bai Lu but was not as invested as this one. Pairings matter (casting agents take note)! See you around and keep on enjoying. Xue Xue!
Hope to see you around soon. πͺ·ππ¦πβοΈ

I totally concur on hotheaded replies and at times itβs necessary to step back re-read and understand the other perspectives/shares! π
Hopefully we wonβt be kicked off MDL lol π
