I think this is a really good drama, one of the better ones I have watched this year.

He Yu is so hot as the young emperor.😍
How did he turn into such a crusty old fool???

The plot is not super special but its tightly written and well executed. The acting is good. I am personally enjoying it a lot more than recent higher rated dramas on MDL.

Family businesses are esp hard bc its hard to both take off at the same time. Luckily I have a good business partner so we take turns and cover for each other. We just can't both take off at the same time.

Any stage in life where we get to choose our career path is a good stage and work life balance is important.😅😂. I run my own business which seems like a lot of freedom but in reality is also a lot of responsibility.

Yes I think it changes at different stages. I think the last one I got was Commander.

Hello darling so good to hear from you!!! Zhang Zhe is only Zhang Xhe bc of his ending. Maybe better not to change it!😘

Translation: I rewatched that scene zooming in on the chest multiple times. For research purposes only.

Oh I hope not!!! 🧐😅

Oh no! That one used to be free. This is free but its not as in depth:

It should be free but if they put it behind a pay wall just search for free Briggs Myers of free personality tests. There are many online ones.

I enjoyed the character as well but I have a soft spot for flawed characters. 😅

There are lots of free fun ones online but they are not so accurate. The job screening ones take a lot longer and they are expensive.

I think if this was a mini drama, this director would have just told an amazing story about them surviving after they go after their enemies to take revenge. Or even if he killed them off ultimately, it would have been dark and riveting and unforgettable. But Chinese audiences have this stupid thing about FLs that were previously married and the director is new to long form dramas so it would have been too risky a bet for it to attract investors. Yu Zheng was able to get away with it in The Double only bc he is Yu Zheng he has tons of money to put in himself and investors always bet on him despite his controversies. I really hope this drama is a hit. We need some new blood on the directing front. So tired and boring to see the same old directors getting big budgets to tell us the same tired old and ridiculously tropey stories.

I think he will definitely get lead roles. He is super good looking and very charismatic and his acting is pretty good. I cried so hard when he got porcupined in AALS.

I think the whole point of giving them a second chance is because they are fated to survive but may have made mistakes along the way that subverted their fate. Notice that so far in their second life, they haven't really saved anyone bc those people were not meant to survive.

Its very popular on Weibo and Douban to categorize drama characters into Briggs Myers personality types. There are long posts about them. They make me laugh bc I have had to take a serious version this test multiple times through my career (its a job screening tool) and each time I get a different result.

There are background notes up in the discussion posts. But by then, China was well into its 100 years of humiliation due to occupation by foreign powers, especially the Japanese. The KMT government was not able to wipe out the endemic corruption, poverty and open ransacking of China by the Japanese in particular but also the British, French and Americans. The KMT were too busy fighting each other (NBIS, CBIS) and the Wang Puppet Regime (KMT defectors that formed a coalition government with the Japanese) especially enraged the people. The people were fed up with this government and started to defect to the CPC, which was just rising in power at the time. The KMT worked with them for awhile and then realized they were a threat bc they were winning hearts and minds and so they started to perceive the CPC as the enemy as much as the Japanese. As history has proven, they were right to fear them bc the CPC became a force that overwhelmed and drove out the KMT and is today the ruling power in China. This is an oversimplification but is the gist of what was happening at the time.

I really enjoyed him in AALS but almost didn't recognize him here bc he was so skinny there.

They are briggs myers personality types.
