im conflicted with that breakup scene but im glad changyu slapped zheng after that kiss. her reasons are justified. but i also understood the impending doom zheng must have felt w/ that separation. as a man who yields power and is suddenly rendered powerless because of this woman, that kiss was his yearning and frustration rolled into one. both of their actions were justified, and that was my conflict. hahaha. next episodes will now be plot driven. we're taking a break w/ all the romance for now. lol.

this is so truuuuue. we need to brace ourselves for next eps.

director should be doing all other idol dramas from now on.lol. he's just so good in this romance atmosphere and the cinematography is just killing me everytime. i wonder if he'll be doing xianxia. we need something like this in xianxia. hahaha.

i hope to see more "pretty" dramas of this sort in the future. however, i'll be reserving all the action part to another director. lol. btw, what happened to changyu's make up on ep16?? was it intentional to look like that? coz it was all perfect until this episode.

"You want a fully chinese-owned company that allows creative freedom? Where on earth will you find that?"

im honestly lmfao. im with yin jun with this.

pls watch this dubbed in your native language. it will make all the difference. trust me!!! hahaha. dont get lost in translation because of subtitles.

guys are you having problems on your netflix on episode 15?? why is it glitching on my end. never had this problem w/ netflix ever.

thank you Lord for the haters. it's adding numbers to the engagement and traffic. thank you for your support guys. don't worry, we are mature audiences here, we will also watch dramas of your idols if it's well done. just like how we've always been here on mdl. see u in the comments later my PIG-SLAPPING TRIBE!! mwah

this is an adaptation so it did not necessarily follow the flow of the novel. if and IF you're looking for a translation with good prose, try checking this out. this is just my preference tho coz it's kinda poetic. it uses good imagery. hahaha. sorry. i can't help it.

i honestly think that Qi Min and Xie Zheng are bff coded. only that our marquis had a sudden change of heart. lol

actually they are both so bff coded. only that our marquis had a sudden change of heart. lol

me, im just here for the ride with my pig-slapping sister. so they can have all the drama they want with the stats and rankings but my drama is better. and im enjoying it!!!! hahaha

they have a deep understanding of their characters and their motivations. their thoughts about the director are the same as the viewers. no wonder this drama is well-made.

forgive the funny translations tho lol

the lunar new year couplets part is one of my fave moments in the novel and thank you so much for capturing the essence of those moments on screen! i think by now, i can say that the screenwriter is also the novelist (maybe writing under a pseudonym??). if i may be bold to suggest that. LOL. mehhnn, AGAIN, i dont know how many times im gonna say this but the framing is just peak cinema and that bgm for one of qi min's confrontation scenes is chef's kiss!!! lol. both leads delivered including the supports. and director is so annoying but really good at what he does- that cliffhanger. yeah.. you did it. you did it.

my tribe, it's 5mins more!!

yessss!! i also love this because ive grown to love the characters in this drama. esp. the Zhao uncle and aunty who became FCY's support system. you seldom see this esp when dramas portray a strong FL.

ikr?! im a sucker for wuxia cos it makes time fly when i watch, but romance-mystery is different, there's sometimes a slow-burn factor to it that if not nicely done, will make one skip and sleep to the end. but here, everything is gorgeous. the characters are fascinating to get to know as the story unfolds. or maybe it's just me. lol

i was watching the 10th ep and then suddenly the end credits rolled. i was like... wat the hekk happened to the 40mins. it felt like 5mins!!

even all the side characters are serving and giving!!! this drama IS the drama!! and we're still on 10 eps. i wonder how the team will tackle the 2nd half (after the climax) as it comes to a close.
