I didn’t. I rarely read synopses because I don’t like spoilers. I like the surprise of the plot as it unfolds. This surprise was jolting. Not enough to make me quit watching though because it’s still a good drama.

True, she’s pretending as someone else, but still the core essence of her true identity should still filter through. You can’t help who you actually are even when pretending to be something else. I feel JJY as an actress should have conveyed that more. Also (I am only on episode 5) how will ML discern she is truly Cai Wei if her real nature and mannerisms don’t peak through the pretense? No spoilers! That was just rhetorical. Regardless, I’m enjoying the drama.

I enjoyed the other actress more.

I believe it was ep 3. Maybe 4.

“A Familiar Stranger” vibes. I’m enjoying the drama, but I was really enjoying the original guest actress who played Yang Cai Wei before the switch occurred. That love story and her chemistry with the ML were engaging and very good. The FL was better as the evil Shangguan Zhi. She’s not capturing the same charm in the Yang Cai Wei role as much as the other actress, in my opinion.

You want the psychopath to win the FL’s heart?

Stressful. Annoying. Not even two seconds of happiness for the healing couple before it’s all shattered again. And why do the villains win so much? The bad guys just keep on winning. It’s a kdrama—we knew what we signed up for…but still 😳😳😳

It had “Story of Kunning Palace” vibes.

No, they’re this dumb. I can believe it.

She does evil too well.

She’s awful. I feel Beom Ja’s pain. Imagine having an insidious, cunning, manipulative viper in your family and you’re helpless to do anything to fight it. Terrible situation.

Wasn’t she the mean stepmother in Twinkling Watermelon?

She might be the Queen of Tears, but he’s hands-down the King of Kdrama Kisses. 💋💋😘

A little bit. A decent start. They’ve got a lot more to say to each other.

Finally they have a foreign actor speaking English like a normal person! 😆 👍🏽 Usually when kdramas have English-speaking actors, they sound farcical, affected, and unnatural.

This couple is giving everything! They’re breaking my heart and they’re giving me butterflies. 😭🦋🔥💔

Absolutely not! Watching as soon as it drops. I am not a fan of the FL, but the BTS I saw got me hooked. Their chemistry was fire. I enjoy the ML a lot. He does grumpy, mischievous, deceptive, naughty, funny very well. 😁

The brother looks like a woman.

He’s nuts. 😳😳😳
