I'm only on episode 9 now, but unfortunately it looks like Situ Ling is going in the direction of "I'm in love with you and I'm willing to do all these things for you, so naturally you're going to have to love me too." It's this assumption that the FL somehow owes them affection that usually makes SML's unbearable. I'm hoping I'm wrong.

I'm loving the costumes in this drama. Actually, the whole drama is very visually pleasing.

On episode 5 and I'm loving this so far. Whoever put HMH and LYX together deserves a raise.

I really liked this drama. Despite some flaws, for the most part it's very entertaining and engaging.

🤣

I can definitely agree with that. Once the characters grow on you, you will stop seeing the things that you noticed before. That's probably why I still loved this drama despite its flaws.

The wait is over and I'll definitely be there, but only after all the episodes have aired. I've seen the trailer and if I have to wait episode by episode, I might actually go insane.

Xianxia dramas are always a wild and dramatic journey and this drama definitely delivers in that aspect. This drama is by no means without flaws, but most are minor enough that I could overlook them and still enjoy the drama.

The biggest flaw for me was the storytelling. At some point after their first lifetime the story lost its way a little. Fortunately by that time, the characters had become so endearing to me that I was willing to continue watching and still enjoyed most of their interactions.

While I liked the characters, I wasn't always on board with the acting. While I think Chen Fei Yu is visually a fit for the character and by no means did badly in terms of acting, he lacked the charisma and screen presence to carry the role of Sima Jiao perfectly. It was a very subdued performance. In contrast, Wang Ying Lu's performance was overly dramatic and while for most of the scenes that worked out fine, some of the emotional scenes didn't land well.

The chemistry between the main leads was however undeniable and when together they did light up the screen.

Overall, I ended up really enjoying this drama.

I was actually thinking the same thing. I suppose no one was really paying attention.

It's nice to see new viewers enjoying it.

I finally started this one. Three episodes in and so far so good.

This is one of the best short dramas I have watched so far. It's dark and twisted and fittingly dramatic. I loved it.

Looks very much like Angel's Trumpets. It's the toxic flower that Qing Mei named her after. It symbolises transformation, spirituality, deception and danger.

Ratings aside, we might still enjoy it more than others did.

Definitely agree with that. I feel like the SML would have been better off just accepting their relationship and concentrating on his goal of making the country a better place. I would have LOVED to see their daughter. And also the wedding night 😋

Thanks. i'm putting this on my list. I can use some laughs

The whole imperial decreed marriage was an unnecessary plot. I would have preferred some more cute and poetic moments for the main leads instead

Which drama is that from?

"She graces my view, occupies my mind, claims my heart."

That's an unforgettable confession. The audacity people had to try and separate them after he said that in public is a disgrace.

This was one of the dramas I was looking forward to the most and for the most part I did enjoy it.

Admittedly, this drama shines in the lighter, cuter moments and battle scenes and not so much in the political intrigue.

They clearly went for a lighter approach and having a main couple who are equally accomplished individually, are supportive and understanding and have great chemistry really did help make this an enjoyable drama.

There are some things that don't make sense from the beginning and characters stray from their established personalities towards the end to make some contrived and unnecessary storylines happen, but overall I liked this drama.
