this drama was filmed 6/25/25-9/28/2025. but it sure feels like it was filmed 10 years ago 💀🥲⏳

what’s with the terrible ratings! was looking forward to starting

watching on iqiyi. is it only up to episode 14 on there??

there’s a filming start date but no confirmation of FL yet?

LOL 😂

melons are indicating not anymore. current speculation is luyuxiao

I was locked in for the first maybe 15 episodes and then I started skipping. by the end I was just dragging the scroll thing to scenes with yiran. then I realized I was dragging through most of the last episodes bc my boy was no where to be seen

yes!!! this!! this reasoning is actually why prisoner of beauty was pretty special to me. both leads were leaders in their own right

purchased a tencent subscription for first jasmine and love has fireworks and it’s not doing it for me. should I purchase iqiyi for this one

it was a good scene. thanks for bringing that up actually. acting was great in there. I’d usually cry in scenes like that but oddly, I felt next to nothing. i WISH I was more invested in their romance. still waiting for that one scene to take me into a chokehold.

ah yes, personal preference is coming into play here. I think I should say I like actors who can showcase a bit more range. she’s good at crying, but dare I say there can sometimes be too much of a good thing.

omg tysm. yes. it’s annoying!!

great crier! not saying she’s a bad crier. kudos to her for her endless tears.

all good reasons to cry as a character. but as a drama, as a female lead, it gets real repetitive. I don’t think I’ve ever watched a drama where the FL cries in EVERY EPISODE. she isnt showcasing much range when she does this and the camera pans to her for a looooong time for EACH cry scene.

Ep 11 - cried about her dad multiple times in multiple scenes - outside city, bedside and cliff side. Then cried when searching through Madam Ge’s belongings.

Ep 10 - cried when she reunited with ML, cried at the steps before their scene

Ep 9 - cried when she sees her uncle again

Ep 8 - cried when she THINKS about going back home

Ep 7 - cried several times in her little skit

Ep 6 - cried on her swing when Jiu comforts her about her dad

Ep 5 - cried when she felt guilty for putting lil emperor in danger, cried whilst telling Jiu about her “dream”

Ep 4 - cried bc she stabbed someone

Etc etc etc

okay she’s crying in every episode every 15-20 minutes. it’s getting a little much

not bad so far, currently on ep 11. i think the reason why it’s not amazing for me is because there’s just too much talking. I just don’t prefer this type of storytelling when it comes to dramas, I’d rather them show me. I lose interest when side characters are going off on their monologues describing why something happened or what they’re about to do.

this is my first drama with CDL as lead. I had my doubts but she’s holding her own so far. but how many times does the camera need to zoom in on her teary face. 🥲 ML is handsome in here! def a very stoic character. their chemistry is THERE but there’s just not enough screen time with just the two of them, ty to the aforementioned monologues sucking up most of the screen time 😒I just wish there was a bit more of them so I can feel like I have more of an investment in their relationship.

scoot over 🥲

LOL PLS 😂

c’mon c’monnnnn. confirm the leads!!!! 🥲

that’s kinda why I was confused. I thought LLTG and snowstorm were idol dramas. but I guess now I’m understanding that the same actor can do idol or…non-idol dramas? and if it’s non-idol then production team can be more secretive. 🤷‍♀️
