I really hope grandma survives and gets to see FL properly happy and FL can take care of her for ages. I really hope they don't go the route of using her death for an emotional moment or epiphany, please let grandma stay alive.

Yeh for sure, but we gotta remember after everything that happened this wasn't expected to be a big drama when it was released. Was air dropped at a 10am time slot with no promo, so when they released it wasn't expected to be a big drama. But I agree, won't show ML cheating, especially when he's meant to pursue her and theres many spoilers of them getting back together. They would only go the cheating route if the drama decided for FL to completely cut of ML and move on and have her own HE but not with ML, but obviously not going that route.

He is dubbed by someone else I think, he is from Hong Kong and has a heavy cantonese accent, so a lot of his roles are dubbed by someone else I believe

The book is completely different just so you know, and only 6 chapters/6 pages so super short. But in the end ML cheats on her/has an affair with Fang Lie and leaves FL. Ends with FL single and raising her sister's baby after her sister committed suicide. Again it's completely different and super short so don't expect the same thing to happen in the drama, hopefully.

Not a double role, the name is due to her parents pretty much abounding her when she was young for her grandma to raise, so she changed her surname to match her grandma's. She does kind of play a dual role in the sense she is keeping a lot of secrets from the ML her husband, pretending to be someone she isn't. Creating a fake background, even hiring fake parents. But technically, not a double role.

God damn the preview for ep 12 is brutal, Fang lie so annoying, she gotta be put in her place by FL. I hope we don't see the ML and Fang lie relationship follow the book or I can't imagine a happy ending. I highly doubt it'll follow the book though, been so different so far and idk how we get there but I definitely think we will get a HE.

Definitely agree, for me the pace is good and intriguing with all the secrets, I hope it keeps it up when everything has been revealed. Looking forward to when it enters the proper romance stage.

All good if you wanna drop, not for everyone, but like Megumi said, the first half pre divorce is like scheming and lies and secrets. But the second half I feel after divorce will be a more healing and romantic drama. I think both FL and ML will heal from the past, and ML will properly pursue FL. Thats what I hope at least. Can always come back post divorce and see what it's like. Based on the air calendar we should see divorce or at least heart break start around ep 11.

Hahaha 100% they're so good

Hahaha yeh exactly, I wonder how he'll do as a jerk, looking forward to it,

I don't know that well so could be wrong, but from what I understand doesn't really help to request unless a large number of people do it. Because Netflix have to pay tencent or whoever owns the rights to the show to license it, so unless Netflix feel it will be worth it, they just won't pay the license fee for other areas globally. The more regions they want the license too, the more they pay. So like if a lot of people request from a certain region or a lot of different regions globally, then they can see the high demand and are willing to pay a larger license fee to include more regions, but if only a few people request, doesn't help.

It is up on the kisskh website, thats pretty much the pirate website everybody uses for all cdrama shows that people don't watch on paid streaming platforms.

No problem. Pretty annoying, but ML for now pretty much tells her strictly to stay away, leave him alone etc. But doesn't seem like she will, she keeps chasing him. But also FL is really smart and calculating so she also deals with her pretty well.

Yeh I know what you mean, keeps momentum and interest high

Honestly, looking forward to seeing Lin Tao, Guan Zi Jing almost always plays the nice, happy and funny supporting character (at least from what I've seen him in). Looking forward to seeing him play a more villain role, hope he plays it well.

6 episodes are up on that site. That site is usually pretty good, they update episodes like 20-30 minutes after they air officially, so if episodes release at 6pm china time, they are usually up on the site by 6:30pm china time, so very small delay. However, sometimes it can be longer, sometime might need to wait an hour or two. This is for English subs though not sure about Japanese subs. Normally they have a countdown, like if you go there now and click on ep 7, you will see a countdown to when the episode releases.

Yep, most, almost all, big cdramas are one or two episodes everyday, very different from kdramas, it's nice to get at least an episode a day.

This drama will be a rollercoaster, ML and FL will eventually divorce then ML will chase her back. They both have a lot of secrets, so definitely be an emotional rollercoaster. I feel first half will be a lot of scheming and lies, second half after the divorce will be a more healing drama, with the ML and FL being honest about themselves. We do have a 2fl obsessed with ML.

2 episodes a day at 6pm china time, air schedule in the discussion section if you want more info

Glad you're enjoying it! I'm a big fan of the ML as well, I think he's underrated, he's pretty good in Si Jin and Rise of Ning, two other nice historical dramas. Hope you enjoy watching them both for the first time.
