Yes, I thought this time the english title was fitting! 😅

I was a bit hesitant because of the comments, but now I've started watching it. Dilraba is always a pleasure to watch.

It's very romance focused, which is not my cup of tea. I was expecting more of suspense. The princess is really the highlight for me.

Yes, that makes sense. I think I will warm up to the character.

It's just my impression. I like the actress, two of her older dramas I do like very much. Here it just isn't clicking with me.

I'm in ep 7 and find the FL a bit stiff and unnatural. I hope it gets better. The ML is too perfect, but otherwise ok.

The FL is really good here. A bit mischievous, with warmth. I like it! The ML on the other hand is a bit disappointing, I liked his performance in Ice Fantacy, but here his expressions are sometimes like a woodhead as someone put it. It's still quite enjoyable.

I appreciate that the misunderstandings don't last long, and that their love never wavers. Refreshing.

Finished watching. In the end I didn't like their relationship. He is to aggressive and domineering. And she is quite cold, meeting her previous lover without telling him and thinking she has the right to do so. Not my type of relationship at all. It began quite interesting, but in the end it somehow reminded me of TTEOTM. She on a mission to save her friends, and he sacrificing and saving her. Unexpected.

I think I found what it means: 晚娘 Wan Niang literally means late mother, as opposed to first mother.

In the meaning of late mother, late lady opposed to first mother, first wife. It makes sense.

Yes, I understand that. But she is kalled Wan Niang. Isn't Niang the word for mother?

I was thinking about Wan Niang, Xuening's foster mother. Is it Mother Wan or is Niang the name?

I have been following the comment section, but didn't want to get spoiled too much. So I missed this.

For me it's like in his first life he wants to be the absolute center of attention, whereas in his second life he has wandered outside the world's attention and wants to be a spectator only and free, with no one making demands on him.

Thank you very much for this explanation. Now it makes perfectly sense. But I would not have come to this conclusion myself. Very nice to have your help!

Thinking about lost in translation...On at least two occations Xie Wei says 'I will be tamed.' But I don't get it. What is the meaning of it?

Ep 25

I really liked the Princess's character in this drama. I say it again. A brave woman!
