there's a trend recently of repeating partners in Cdramaland so here's to hoping :)

I wish BJT and ZRN will do collaborate in some new dramas. I love the chemistry between the two of them.

yes, but not a lot. more of a mystery drama. ML goes ballistic in ep 7-8, if you can watch past that it gets pretty good.

If I was in charge of the script, I would have the FL kill off all of her family and the ML. Then years later the ML's daughter come back and take revenge and kill the FL.

you misunderstand me. I'm sad that they didn't all die.

ep23, FL went to meet with the empress to get her help. she brought her iron hairpin with her as a backup plan. If the empress does not agree, she will kill empress and her whole family will get executed.

she made plans before that like killing off the empress so her entire family will be executed including her father.

can't get enough of Chen Du Ling's smug smile. it's the only reason i kept watching this.

The ML did what the FL said because he HAD to. The FL is a vengeful character. Laws in ancient China being that if the crime is serious enough, the criminal's entire family gets executed. The ML was forced to go along with the FL's plans in some cases because if he didn't she would go at it alone and commit a crime that would get his whole family executed.

I didn't like it because the FL was not evil enough. There was no chemistry. The show explained the Marriage was one of convenience for both to get what they want. AND THAT IS HOW IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. I really really hate that they tried to add some half assed romantic crap in at the end. They should have just have the FL kill off everyone. notice this drama is not tagged with romance so I don't know what you were expecting from the start.

sadly none except for the father

Like a Sunny Day, Like a Rainy Day

not blood relative. her aunt's husband is FL's dad's brother.

I still prefer the novel version where when WYF decides to get together with SY she decides to not run away and face her problems.

So I read the web novel and I can understand why many of the fans of the novel disliked the drama. The Hong Kong storyline and the grandparents storyline was not in the original novel. The delulu intern was also not as annoying in the web novel. I felt that The First Frost would have been better if the director followed the original novel more closely.

ditto. hidden love was good but I can't help but feel the cringe factor because of the age difference in the beginning.

didn't feel any chemistry between the leads. so it's better to leave it off.

on ep22. the roof top scene was great. I love Chen Duling when she acts evil characters. I wish she would get more and more evil until in the end she goes Daenerys Targaryen on everyone hehe

I haven't seen his other dramas but his performance here is really bad. Sure, I've seen worse, but with excellent performance from the FL and the supporting cast, his lack of acting skills stands out like a piece of shit in what is otherwise a great bowl of soup.

being fanatical makes them dangerous so it is scary.
