Sounds cliche but have you heard of that saying: "One keeps their friends close but keeps their enemies closer?" lol 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ In agreement with your sentiment! ☝️

I chuckled when I read a commenter (#McGee) mentioned to another: "Why do you feel the need to share you dropped (the drama)?" lol 😂

True story....when I was younger, I joined these meetup groups (in the US) and treated each invite/RSVPs like they were wedding invites. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I kept pressing the 'not attending' orange buttons, until one of the hosts delineated to me that I don't need to share that I'm not attending. I just don't have to 'attend'. LOL. 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

It was discussed here; although they look very much alike, this is one way to differentiate (distinctive styling difference) them.

3rd Prince : Hair is half way up and half way down the back.
4th Prince: All of his hair is up and in a bun on top of his head.

Hope that is helpful. Watch...tomorrow's episodes, they will decide to change the hairstyles now that I have delineate/share the differences. lol 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

I actually think this drama (and the recent episodes) is good! 👍 Intriguing…

The male lead looks sexy in this drama especially with his expressions!

Compared to his recent dramas and leading ladies, I’m actually liking this female lead! (So attractive and less annoying if you don’t mind my candor!) 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

I actually chuckled when I read your post! 😂 you were trying to be so PC correct! lol 😂

Yes, I do agree. They look very much alike. In fact, I thought they were twins.! at times it’s difficult to differentiate between the two, therefore you’re not alone!

✅ As mentioned in my earlier comment, I've always been a fan of atypical, naturally beautiful Zhang Jing Yi and her performances.!🌟 Her parents, male lead, her bro, teacher, and other side characters gave good portrayals of their respective characters. A new fan of male lead and his deep voice!

✅ So glad that Beiyu is as beautiful as she is on the outside (as she is on the inside); even at a young age, she self sacrificed by staying (even when given a chance to return to live with her parents) because the &(*& aunt & grandmother wanted Qing Yu (if Beiyu left) in her place! It's wonderful to see Beiyu (so deserving) finally got some quality time with her parents! 🥰

✅ Love, love, love reading the commenters who understand and so sympathetic of the Chinese mom (like many) who didn't grow up with lots of loves/cares/etc! 👍 Very indicative of how much MDL viewers have matured and progressed through viewerships and personal experiences! 🙌🏼

8's for me are like 9's score wise.

🙏 thank You! Stay awesome! 😍

Thank YOU for your reply; I could tell that you're a 'sweet' commenter. When I first joined MDL, there were plenty of people like 'us' on here. Keep on enjoying dramas, Liz! Good day. 🌸🪷🥰

This is a well done 'unbiased' input on differentiating (from BL and/or other actresses) and illuminating LYT. 👍

I've been meaning to post on here 🤦🏻‍♀️; I really ENJOYED watching this drama.....🥰

✅ Rewatched each eps (rarity these days for me)
✅ Espionage well executed story line 👍
✅ Court Intrique
✅ Good pacing
✅ Clever characters and plot - Honorable mention, Master Gao Ming
✅ Revenge plot (done right) 👍
✅ Beautiful casts (ofc the leads, etc)
✅ Natural and subtle Chemistry/romance

8's for me are like 9's score wise! 🌟

😂👍

That’s cool that you know about him!

He looks so handsome in that drama!

Don’t forget the ML in goodbye my princess as well! lol 😂 🤦🏻‍♀️

When the aunt said that Beiyu got what she deserved, if I was Beiyu's mom (even as a non-violent person), I would personally beat the (&*(& out of aunt. lol 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

FL: I've been a fan of Zhang Jing Yi since her 1st movie debut to the recent Legend of Zang Hai; she is an atypical beauty (sans makeup and 'different'). Her different/unique look sets her apart from others!

Plot wise: I enjoyed seeing how FL stuck up for her sister after learning how much her sister had suffered/endured and how she cared for her. Sad to see how society/communities/families ostracized Beiyu when they should have supported/cared for her. I'm looking forward on seeing the progression of the romance between the leads.

💯! Sometimes they put filler episodes or unnecessary stuffs 🤦🏻‍♀️

A dream within is also starting out well! 👍 keep on enjoying

I’m liking and intrigued by this drama (compared to ML”s recent dramas); maybe it’s because I like the FL here! 👍😊

Hoping I didn’t jinx it since other dramas (with good starts) have disappointed! 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

☝️💯👍 I also noticed the visuals and how both ML and FL look good in this; I also love the antics and contributions of the side ‘friends/subordinates’ characters! 😂😃 The same reasonings why I loved love like another galaxy and other dramas! ☝️

💯

Besides, MDL doesn’t pay me to view the episodes so there’s no need for me to update regularly 😂 lol

I had to clean up my currently watching list a few times 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 keep on enjoying

What I liked about your post was that you candidly shared your perspective (i.e. chemistry).

Once, someone commented on how I didn't update to 'currently watching' a drama (in order to be able to comment) 🤦🏻‍♀️and I chose not to justify it with a reply. 😄

On MDL, I noticed that some people, sadly, are afraid to share at times because their viewpoints/shares might be construed as 'negative'/going against the current if it differs. No matter on the 'likes' (on comments, etc) or ratings, do share accordingly/respectively (maybe others feel the same way). 🤷🏻‍♀️. At times, I even find the trolling/antagonistic comments to be comedic (I'd say to myself...are they (trolls) for real?) lol 😆

Same on not updating until I’m done!

I had a lot of dramas that I left as ‘currently watching' so nowadays I just don’t update it to currently watching! 🤣

👍 for your candor!
