in some episode I remember when cen ye was coming out of his office and abt to get in his car Tu li called him…
It's funny that the people who actually pay attention to this drama are questioning why Tu Li met up with Cen Yi, only for nothing to happen after that. The editing team probably forgot and assumed viewers wouldn't pay attention to the supporting cast. It's super annoying being left hanging like that. Scenes that should’ve been added were left out, and scenes that should’ve been deleted stayed in. The show is over... I just want another drama with SWL and ZJY.
I see many people questioning if Miao Jing’s devotion to Chen Yi matched his for her.
She had exes, but honestly, I think she only dated Cen Ye because his name was so similar to Chen Yi's! As for her other ex, we don't know much. In my opinion, Miao Jing was actually more obsessed with Chen Yi. In the deleted fire scene, she tried to rescue him, begging others for help and trying to break the door down herself when they refused. In the second fire scene, she ran inside without hesitation. If that’s not love and devotion, I don’t know what is. In the final episode, she’s even the one insisting she loves him more.
Is there a way to vote for SWL and ZJY to star in another drama together? They are just too cute! Props to SWL for working through his injury during filming. He worked so hard, too. What am I going to watch after this? 😭
I started Eternal Fragrance first and then this, now I can't seem to want to continue EF, SWL is so much more in this drama. His previous drama with the other FLs were so so to me, I didn't feel the chemistry except in Go Ahead. He's definitely so much better in this drama. & I love in this drama, the leads are in almost every scenes, no filler scenes. I really hope they cast them again in another series... can't wait for tonight's episode.. and omg those kissing scenesss...ahh can't waiit
this definitely wasn't an easy watch, fl mom reminded me on my own mom, how she always do things and agree with everything the in-laws asked of her. it's annoying, Ming Sheng was everything. I wished fl/ml had more scenes together and cut Mumu scenes a little short. But it's all good. I highly recommend this drama. Not a rewatch for me, because it's just too sad and depressing. Hopefully we get the see FL/ML in another drama.
Liu Xue Yi did an excellent job! first half of this show was unexpectedly funny.. the bad hair and costume made me not want to continue but I'm glad I did! Loved it! Big fan of Tiffany Tang! She did good. Looking forward to Liu Xue Yi next drama and this man has a gorgeous smile.!!!
JX reaction is completely normal. I blame HT for not communicating well. What kind of response was define love or what is love when she asked if he loved her. Forget about HT other investments or the merger. JX was sitting at home thinking this man doesn’t love me. If he loves me, why can’t he be honest. It’s that simple. Viewers know why HT couldn’t tell her early on but doesn’t mean he couldn’t tell her after they got together. Miscommunication is the biggest downfall in any relationships. Fortunately, we know they will get back together after this hurdle and be stronger together.
I really like Xu Kai, and i really wanted to watch this drama but.. I just can't stand the actress, she looks…
Seven is definitely not ugly. I think Xu Kai has the most chemistry with Seven besides Bai Lu. He’s been paired with so many beautiful actresses but the chemistry is just ehhhh. It’s different with Seven, somehow it works and it shows on screen. This is by far the best on screen couple!
I really didn’t think I was going to be hooked to this drama. Xu Kai is a lot better in this drama than BCE, maybe cuz he has a lot more screen time and his chemistry with FL is better. The FL drunk scene was so funny! Gosh I’m glad I’m able to move on from The Double with this show! Highly recommend!!!
I didn’t know Wang Xingyue could be this captivating. His presence enhances every scene and his voice—rich and resonant—adds gravitas to dialogue. I’ve seen his previous work, Amidst a Snowstorm of Love , SOKP & Scent of Time. He was good but didn’t command the screen like Duke Su. Something about him and FL chemistry that made this an enjoyable watch. The best part was when they were out of the capital. Just started the Princess Royal and fl/ml have a lot of screen time together but ain’t like Duke Su and ALi. sigh! Gotta rewatch this show again
