Ah, I understand now, thanks for the clarification.

Her acting was off for me as well. But she's a lovely actress. You could try: The romance between a tiger and rose. I've seen it twice for the belly- aching laughs and Ms Lussi was awesome in it. Also, dating in the kitchen and hidden love. They're both modern romance and totally worth your while if it's a genre you watch. I became a fan after these, though I dropped LLTG and this.

Really?😁 I re-watched it a couple of days ago. Shen li and Are you the one/ hidden charm are my 2 favs of 2024.

I stopped watching as well. How such a kickass ml became a houseboy is just gross. But I guess the new wave of female empowerment requires men to be emasculated; at least that what I see in k and c dramas these days. Guess it's too much to ask for a couple made up of strong ml and fl.

I detest love triangles as well. Dropped, though I liked the sets, costumes etc

The first 5, are totally awesome. Haven't seen the others, but you've got great taste.

Absolutely. She's supposed to be the 'good' person, but she's just simply horrid.

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't know, so you're the best for remembering to tell me.

You're right. I'm on episode 10 already. The story sucked me right in. Thanks again!😊

Thanks for the encouragement. I admit I'm shallow enough to not want to watch this for the serious lack of eye candy. Drooling over Ye hua and Dong Hua Diju was 90% of the attraction to the previous 2 for me. But I'll give this a look- see. There's only so many times I can rewatch TMOPB and Pillow book.

Thanks, I will.

The ml in legend of shen li also was the fish kisser. It seems this authour likes fish kissing mls lol!

I enjoyed the heck out of this show. Sometimes, the tittering women got a bit much for me, it's easily solved with the ff button.
The ml's fight scenes are a joy to watch; especially when he took down that rude fella at the agency. He was merciless and I loved it.
The fl is one of the best and most likeable fls I've ever come across in cdramaverse. I absolutely adore her. She's strong, independent, unassailable, smart, wise, brave, loving, nurturing and so much more, without being rude, ungrateful and loud; like the usual cdrama portrayal of a strong fl.
The romance is bland; nevertheless, the main couple have a very healthy relationship.
The emperor is complex character; the automatic inclination, is to hate him, but in retrospect, he's the most pathetic of them all.
It's a beautiful watch.

Agreed.

I totally agree with you. I really like the story line and the ml is hot, but the fl is so unlikeable that I had to drop it.

I'm in love with this drama. It's hard to move on from it.

I totally agree with you! No passion, but affection and I would've really loved a dash of passion. Sigh! But, they're absolutely adorable.

I absolutely enjoyed this drama. I can't remember enjoying a drama more, recently, and I don't want it to end! I loved their 'married' life. The way she took charge of her husband and her business, thinking he was just a dandy, so she had to step up. I love how all his grand plans dissolved in his face and before he knew it, he was lost in love for her and willing to fight to keep her, while taking care of business. He never lost sight of his responsibilities and neither did she.

I love the way they called each other by pet names, even when they quarreled. I missed it, when the truth came to light. I love how he always came to find her and how she always ran into his arms. I especially love how the love rivals for both leads were handled.

However, the kisses sucked; even on their wedding night, she was more his nurse, than wife. One would've thought he'll be chaffing at the bit to at least passionately kiss his hard won wife, like the ml of Kunning palace, who 'took no prisoners', lol! But, the lack of passion is my only grouse. Other than that, they're a beautiful couple; I love them. A solid 8.5, in my opinion.

The ost is dreamy, especially when she dumped him by the waterfall and when he was leaving for war.

I love the friendship between the ml and his bestie-the doctor-what a comical and chaotic pair. Unfortunately, the doctor's love interest, while interesting, business wise, was boring romantically. I couldn't be bothered about their love.

I've been trying to read the novel, but the translation is giving me a headache. Please if anyone knows where I can get a good translation? Thank you in advance. I highly recommend this drama if you're undecided about it. It's totally awesome.

I agree with you. I saw her in TMOPB and liked her acting there, but she's the same in every other drama I've seen her in. I just realised I've never been able to finish any of her dramas. The last I attempted was Love Designer, which I gave up because it was boring and her constant bright red lipstick -which never came off even when she was asleep -gave me eye ache. She's lovely to look at though and I wish her all the best.

I agree. Her acting just doesn't gel with me.
