There is a bit of romance in the later half of this series, the new poster is an indication. The previews revealed a lot already, I don't mind spoils, the main leads will get married, the BTS mentioned about 2 upcoming kissing scenes, the FL will continue to support ML, she also has on a different hairstyle and modern clothing so I am guessing we might get a happy ending.

I understand why ppl are frustrated with FL but I see a turning point for her character that I was waiting for where she now supports the ML with his goals and whatever makes him happy. She understands ML's beliefs and that shows maturity. Some ppl are shipping ML and SFL, I tried visualizing them as a couple but idk they look even more like siblings and it looks rather boring cause I see them all serious and talking politics all the time. Doesn't help that SFL looks like a live doll and appears half of the time expressionless. Beautiful new poster btw.

well I don't go for popularity. I usually find some overrated and not my taste anyways since I end up dropping it after a few eps. I suppose people don't like dramas with too much dialogue but it suits this type of drama so I really don't mind too much. This is a gem and one of the better dramas I watched this year.

That was cute cause this girl has no filter whatsoever and she speaks her mind which I find quite endearing.

Fair take. I am patiently waiting to see it happen and it seems like episode 14 might be the turning point.

YQ is quite mature to deliver it to WS in a affirmative way that does not hurt as much. He doesn't reject her completely but pretty much disagrees with the reasons for the marriage and joining the sect. I think the brother might still be alive too it's weird to kill him off in 13 episodes even though he's still a douche.

I like the actress playing the character but it's probably the scriptwriter's intent to make it seem like she's innocent and sheltered her whole life ie. obedient, does not think on her own and must follow orders by her master. She is an orphan and desires to have a family, she also has not seen much of the world outside, so I can see why she is like that. I am optimistic that she will get more character development. They were both childhood friends but having to experience the bigger world outside, ML is knowledgeable, smart and independent and he will help her along the way. I actually really like the dichotomy between these two: traditional vs modern way

So in episode 14, it seems like their is an argument between the main leads. They clearly have feelings towards each other but there's a mountain (no pun intended) between them and don't fault why they are so adamant on their beliefs with marriage and politics. It is probably better that they separate for now to work on those problems and to make the heart grow fonder while missing each other's company.

Good observation. The blame is always shifted towards the female victim for getting herself in that predicament. Unfortunately, it seems so relevant in today's real society where the woman is often unfairly blamed upon, for example if she is wearing slightly revealing clothing and people assume she is "asking" for it.

I might have missed a scene but how did Yun Qi get Wu Shang's comb? Why isn't he giving it back to her but has it around his neck?

Thank you for speaking up! I like the FL and she is definitely not annoying. I think we will see more character development.

Are people actually commenting badly on her looks? Seriously? She is one of the most prettiest female actresses I've seen in a Chinese drama. I find her gorgeous in this character, especially with the hair makeup and costume.

No you are not. I really like the FL she is doing a good job.

I am reading the comments here but I don't agree with some of them. The storyline is sort of refreshing to me. I don't find the FL annoying, in fact, she is one of the reasons why I started watching it, her looks are unique, a classical beauty and charming in her own way. I can't wait to see more chemistry between the leads.

Excited for his new project. Sounds like he will have a dual personality and this drama sounds darker. Is it confirmed that Minami Hamabe is the FL.

Nope. It is implied that they remained as friends in the future who haven't seen each other for a long time and decided to meet each other to have a drink like old times.

Both lead actor and actress were in the Memory Eraser movie two years ago. FL in the movie was crushing on ML but in contrast, ML was chasing after FL in this drama. It's somewhat a happier ending in this fluffy drama compared to a heavier tone in that movie despite that they both did not end up together.

FL is cute but she is a terrible lover. Her character just needs more development too like ML. It doesn't help with the 30 min episodes. The storywriter had an hour episode to work out the relationship aspect but it focused so much on work in the first half. Miss seeing ML with his funny expressions this week.

I love watching the both of them. The actor and actress are so compatible as a on-screen couple and mirrors off each other in acting chops. Their off-screen personalities are both charming that brought the story to life. I really hope they collaborate again in another project.

I just feel indifferent towards Sanada and the way she handled the breakup - she just kept eating like it's nothing. That is so cold and emotionless while Maruya hides and cries. She never really opened up to Maruya nor gave him a chance to really get inside her world, especially in the last 2 episodes so there were so many misunderstanding which made him feel insecure. Maybe I find him more relatable with his wide range of emotions and she's probably right that she's incapable of dating men so its better that they separated and lived out their own careers.
