I haven't made it to ep 28 but ep 27 has a lot of steam and agree it is good. You make some good points with XS, she compared her father to XN's father. She felt that her father would not step up to protect her like XN's father would with the gamble in court despite the risks. As you said XS's father sees her as a pawn and a piece on the chessboard. OMG, I didn't expect so many slaps, XS got b*tch slapped left and right!!

Yes she is annoying with that smirk on her face.

I really hope they can deliver a knock out punch to Duke Xue and the Xue's grip on power although I'm not optimistic, ep 27 picking up some steam on court palace politics. I did not expect XN's father to risk it all and flip the balance of power on Duke Xue but he's gotta protect his daughters.

I'm the minority on this and as much as I love Park Eun Bin as an actress, this drama is okay but not as good as I expected. The relationship and story arc of the FL and ML is really sweet along with the SML. I feel as a whole for this drama and the FL's character is a bit off.

Finished ep 26 and feel stuck now waiting for what will happen with XW and XN with the little morsels thrown our way with him comforting her when she cut things off with ZZ and his longing looks for her. Even ZZ and XN's slow burn was compelling, it was a bit sad when she let ZZ go after she realized she would do more harm to him by furthering her relationship with him. Eagerly waiting for more eps.

Thanks for these teasers. I can't wait to see how this falls out between them. I'd like to see how it plays out with JXN eventually coming to love or whatever we want to call it with XW because that clip with him telling her off that he would take her life if she ruins his plans or gets in his way, empty threat or not it was like whoa.

Ep 22 ended with XW's death glare at ZZ after XN protected ZZ with what she thought was an arrow directed at ZZ. uh oh. big trouble coming for ZZ?

It was a heartbreaking story and I also recommend it, the short modern version was nice because we got to see them lead a life where they were a normal couple in love as opposed to the Romeo/Juliet tragedy that put a wall between them.

I can see your point with how going through hardships such as surviving in an island for 15? years by herself could lead to growth and maturity. She has good wisdom at times but it wasn't clear why her personality seemed to channel a kid like demeanor. It felt a bit attorney woo at times with her physical mannerisms too. She's a terrific beautiful actress, perhaps the show producers wanted to capitalize on the loveable ness of her character on attorney woo.

Interesting observation about her strong survival skills fom being on island helps her survive the competitive music industry.

I'm trying to understand the FLs personality and behavior, there's parts of her that is channeling a bit of Attorney Woo and she seems really childlike too. I love Park Eun Bin in several of the dramas she was in so this isn't an attack, I'm trying to get a clearer understanding on her character arc. Is it because her character didn't emotionally develop more because she was stranded by herself for so many years and because of the horrible abuse she endured from her father?

I think she is really pretty too and the clip of her getting ready for what looks like her wedding she looked gorgeous there.

I thought GMP writers did a fairly good job with the complexity of the ML character but their relationship was sad. The story was told well.

You may want to consider Goodbye My Princess, the ML is ruthless and obsessed with the FL. Its a really tragic story with no HE but he fits the morally grey, cunning, and with a dark side. Another one is Till the End of the Moon, Bai Lu is in it, the ML is traumatized with a dark side and doesn't fit the goody two shoes mold of the ML hero.

Oh, it was adorably funny with the boating scene on the school field trip where JSW gets jealous when HHN freaks out when there's a caterpillar on the boat and she's holding LBG's hands. I guess JSW doesn't feel like he's the ideal type anymore 😁

haha, its an addictive storyline!

💘Yep. There's something about their love transcending through time and previous lives, dunno but it just adds more to it.

Yes I'm also finding the best parts are the historical flashbacks. If they didn't have that as part of the storyline, it wouldn't be as good but that is my opinion.

I feel the same way, each episode is about 45 mins long and it feels short, sometimes I'm surprised its already at the end.

Thanks. I got the impression YL did rape her from one of the past flashbacks as revenge in her previous life with her betrayal and rejection. I also didn't know what the context was when there was the flashback of XW drawing a red line on her throat. There was also a flashback of her dis-robing with ZW and pulling him close to her as if she was seducing him, was that their previous life or something that happens in the future? There's plenty of details to this drama!
