Oh, I see; that makes sense. Tbh, I had the hardest time trying to like Anna with anybody, lol. Just couldn’t warm to the character for some reason. K2 is still my favorite, though. ☺️

Have you seen Under the Skin?TJC is wonderful in that as well.

You didn’t think K2 had a happy ending? Did I miss something?🥺

Exactly the same!

I thought the same when I saw that typo: I am definitely watching a dreama right now. My only complaint is episodes are too short and not enough of them. @Lostmeimei, I hope you don’t mind if I steal your word. 😍

I was reminded of that, too! I have often replayed the JOL scene, and I will also rewatch that fabulous sword dance many times. Genius performances!

You’re not kidding! I feel like I should be paying extra for this parade of masculine beauty!😂😂💗💗

It’s so good, I’m watching it over and over. Is it strange to feel such joy from a sword fight/dance? The first four episodes are gold!

Agree. I did not like Yangzi at all, thinking she was a lightweight actress until LYF. Then I saw her throw heart and soul into this role and became a fan.

I don’t hate her but am totally exasperated.

Never have I agreed with a review more. You had me at the Goodbye My Princess remark. Applause! 😍

Yes, he briefly mentions it happening to him and seems to take it in stride, no adjustment period necessary. What a strange character he is.

As I understand it, the Chinese government no longer permits the rebirth theme or time travel in dramas. I guess they are frowning upon certain kinds of fantasy while encouraging more realistic stories. Personally, if I want reality, I can watch the news or a documentary. My taste in fiction is, the more unreal, the better. There is way too much reality in the US already, gosh.

Having just watched ep. 34, I am fighting a blazing fury. Amid all the talk between the princess and the villain in the cave and afterward, not once did she remark anything like, “Goodness me! Now that I know all the people who plotted against and killed me, I realize how wrongly I betrayed PWX and ordered his murder. I will spend the rest of my life apologizing and making it up to him.” Nope, not a whisper, although she had plenty of tears and pity for herself. What a self-centered, self-important character, and I blame the writer(s), not the actress I adore. And they make PWX into a two-dimensional character without any other purpose in life but to serve the princess. Gah, what in the world. I still plan to finish it, though, unless high blood pressure attacks from this script kill me first. Gah!

Just a word about the costumes in this drama; the princess looks stunning in all the lush colors, but that deep apricot gown looks beyond amazing on her. Oh, and I adore when the leads appear in color-coordinated outfits. What a treat for the eyes!

Oops, thanks. I will know next time. 😁

That’s so cute! Wish I’d said it.😂🤗

I was so excited last night about Season 2 that I hardly slept. Now I’ve watched the first two episodes and nodded off over and over. Had to keep rewinding, lol. Everyone talked so softly and action was minimal. But it’s a nice way to be eased back into the drama, if can stay awake. Goodness! This one and Joy of Life 2 are the only dramas I’ve thought about all year, smh.
