I think Siyi actually has deeper feelings for Chenrui.

It is stress inducing.😅
Tyvm😘🌸.

Any dude that can be prettied up to look better than me is a solid NO for me. 😅

I was fine with it. Its a long overdue wake up call for Huazhi to grow up.

I think they all protect Siyi because she really is almost an orphan and she is so lovely its impossible not to have a crush on her. Even Fenghua has a girl crush on her. But Wanghe is a very ambitious person and like all ambitious people, he may have some romantic feelings for both girls but they are not deep. Relationships that lead to marriage are the furthest from Wanghe's mind at the moment. He has big plans for himself that he is laser beam focused on. Besides, they all pretty much grew up as de facto siblings; how that turns into something romantic is gradual not instant. None of them are fully realized adults yet but you can see they are all thinking - what if he/she is the one for me???

I really like Ou Hao, I think he is very charismatic with his dimples and his acting is terrific. He is a man's man and not a pretty boy and he is totally not suitable for idol dramas but I always have time to at least check out his dramas.

I think Fenghua behaves that way bc she is actually very sensitive and vulnerable. She is afraid to show that side of herself so she acts arrogant and scrappy. Yes, at surface that makes her annoying but her friends totally get that its false bravado and they get why she is that way so they are not annoyed at her.

Idk... I don't think a good emperor executes the brother that gave up the throne for him... I guess Ruofeng paid for his mistakes?
It is told in flashbacks in TBOY that BLDJ mistook Ye Yao for her sister and impaled her on his sword.

Yes BO definitely had a lot of potential but the writing didn't hold up. The other drama about the silk business is The Ingenious One.

Thanks for your comments. Ruofeng's reasons were all ultimately selfish and as it turned out, Ruojin was a terrible emperor. I think the writer wrote TBOY first and at the time had not fully thought through what he meant to do with BLDJ. The other missing piece is BLDJ accidentally kills Ye Yao, which shattered him and turned him into a alcoholic. That would explain his indifference to WX.

Tyvm. I don't know who manages them but they are more established now and probably better scripts come their way. YZ took some pretty bad dramas in her early days. I couldn't watch anything she made before LYF.

Well I think they all mostly love each other like family for now bc they grew up together. And Siyi's story is truly heartbreaking and like Huazi, Wanghe would do anything to protect her but that's empathy and not love. But they live in a small world and maybe no one has met their true love yet.

This is a terrific drama. All these young people with so much potential, each with their own blind spots. If only they could see themselves the way we see them. This sentiment is so brilliantly conveyed. Wanghe already loves Huazi he just doesn't know it bc his hero complex makes him think he exists to save Siyi. But I think Siyi and Chenrui are soul mates so Wanghe doesn't stand a chance. As for Huazi, she can do better than all of them put together. She just doesn't know it yet.

Yes it is. iQiyi is widely expected to go bust. Most likely Tencent or MangoTV will buy them.

China's economy has been struggling for the past 4 years. The losses for dramas are now at a point where unless a drama can break even, they can't air. Even though this was highly anticipated, iQiyi has barely managed to sell enough ads to break even. That is why the schedule is like that.

It is unfortunately a very slow advertising season. And if they don't sell enough ad slots, they just can't broadcast every day. Its gonna be like this most of the year. Maybe better to only start dramas mid-way and watch slowly, don't chase express episodes bc you be left hanging anyway.

停运 just means halted or suspended. I would read it as no episodes those days.

Lol - I don't think even Michelle at 82 should be offered an action role!!!😅

There wasn't bad damage or lives lost - it just gave a glimpse of how well she lived. I doubt she ever looked back.

Honestly I think actors who age out shouldn't try to take roles like that anymore, men or women. Zero interest in watching Harrison Ford play Hulk even if he were 70 years younger!

I am sure. it is Brigitte Lin married super well - she lives in a stupendous mansion on the Peak with a huge amount of staff. Her house caught fire a few years back and the news reported on her household.
