I see it now that you said it.

Agree.

That’s what I thought. 😉😏🥰

😀 It’s nice to have a Watch Buddy.

Mr. Lu’s mother is grandfather’s sister, so Han Ting’s great aunt. So, Mr. Lu, her son, should be Han Ting’s second cousin not “uncle,” right?

Maybe they don’t use the word cousin, like the way Yuan is called Han Ting’s “sister,” but she’s actually his first cousin. Her mother is his aunt.

This has gotten tiresome. So tired of the blind trust the emperor has in Consort Rou. He should be smarter than this. Also, the leads’ chemistry has waned for me. I’m not feeling it anymore.

“If you don’t care, then let’s make the rumors true.” Blushing.

I disliked the character in that role, but I was thoroughly impressed with his talent. So happy that Wang Xing Yue’s has career developed steadily since that standout performance.

Whereas, I was unimpressed with Zhang Ling He in LBFAD. Didn’t understand his appeal at all. It was only after SOKP that I became thoroughly smitten. He’s my favorite now.

He’s a sweetie, but too young and inexperienced. She’s too sophisticated for him.

good reminder

good points made

Same. I don’t hate her. She kinda is me a lil bit, if I’m being honest, lol 🤣. Control issues. Trust issues. Workaholic. But, has a heart of gold underneath that cold-ish diva personality. She is after all a PRINCESS. Not just any princess, THE Princess Royal.👑

😂

Zhang Ling He’s ML character is increasingly becoming more impressive to me. Even though he was bringing the sexy and giving us heartfluttering moments, I still found PWX a bit bland. However, handling a strong woman like the Princess takes a strong man, thus his “simping” isn’t weakness at all. It takes more strength to remain patient, kind and loving with difficult personalities.

nicely said 👍🏽

Outstanding. One of my all time faves. I rewatch it regularly.

If you continue, more episodes reveal some of their problems and communication issues. Princess admitted she regularly criticized him needlessly, for instance. He said he wasn’t a good husband as well and that he didn’t make her feel secure in the marriage.

“Story of Kunning Palace” is his better role, in my opinion. I am enjoying “The Princess Royal,” but I also find it a bit bland at times. ML character is not that interesting if I’m being honest, even though he’s proving to be more and more the save-the-day hero with every episode. Zhang Ling He is doing a great job with the character, creating good chemistry, giving us heartfluttering moments, and whatnot. But, the character itself is just a bit dull. It’s all about the Princess in this drama.

Maybe he’s convinced himself that he actually loves her this time around, but mostly I think he’s just scheming something, exactly what I can’t tell. Maybe he’s just trying to keep her in her lane and out of the way of the noble families. Also, this “interest” only seemed to kick in when she married PWX. So it could be a competition, jealously thing. When she was evaluating the bachelors at that gathering before her marriage, Rongqing didn’t seem to return her affections back then. He’s a weasel and a player from what I’ve observed.

Agreed. Her behavior is confusing. Someone mentioned, however, that reconciliation between an estranged couple doesn’t happen easily or overnight. She and PWX were estranged for nearly 20 years. Walls and distrust seem to be her defaults at this point. Whereas, trust and security were the default emotions she felt with Rongqing for 17 years. She thought he understood her.
