In the webtoon he chooses an Jin over his brother too. But in the webtoon it is hinted that AJin actually feels something for Jaeo. Maybe not love, but a feeling of being seen by him and protected by him.

I like it when women faint or get weak because of their period 🤣 Or they forgotten their sanitary towel and ML has to buy them because she can’t walk.

I haven’t started watching yet, glad I made that choice. Even waiting for the clips of them actually finding out the truth is dragging on me - and I haven’t emotionally invested in anybody yet. They started with a bang, but have just had the same episode of hiding the secret for the past 3 episodes. And tomorrow we will only probably find the truth is only told right at the end . Uuurrrghhh! Disappointed.

Yeah, sorry. Really hate the simp in modern romcoms. No need for a ML to be a doormat. He’s being betrayed and lied to, at a certain point, it’s not funny, it’s humiliating.

I am not watching the drama because I don’t like waiting for episodes, but I’m keeping up with the story. I love a good romcom and I love that I’m in good company here! A good romcom isn’t easy! People think it’s just throwing cliches together, but romcoms are actually so hard to do well.

I loved the scenes I watched from the beginning, but this middle bit is starting to stress me out. Like it is going on too long - usually the ML would have found out by now and is finding ways to test the FL and play jokes on her. But in this, the ML is getting anxious and upset, and she’s becoming annoying by acting oblivious/leading him on? Correct me if I’m wrong? If she tricks him for too long it is no longer amusing, it’s cruel.

She shouldn’t show up at his apartment - she shouldn’t be going out of her way to create opportunities for them to be together since she knows she’s supposed to be married. She can’t be that dense. It makes her look like a scummy person.

Urgh! Why do so many romcoms fail me halfway through 😭😭😭😭

Interesting. I have watched her dramas, but I never really found her convincing in her roles. The innocence too fake, and any assertiveness didn’t work because she was too young. Basically I didn’t like her either, haha. But maybe I’ll give this a try!

How does he come back from that? Even if it’s a bag of blood in his pretend chest that got stabbed, he clearly also spit out blood, and the blade was long! Why can’t the director get his stabbing scenes right? Each one in this drama is right in the heart! Like when mudan stabbed his heart and it barely hurt him?? Stop pretending you can patch up a stab in the heart!

I’ve been watching preview clips on bili bili and I can’t for the life of me work out how JCY faked his death. It’s, like, a very clear death 🧐

Miles and the County Princess are my favourite characters! They’re such good actors, very natural, and they really bring their characters bitterness to life. I loved their wedding scene in the first season.

They’re well written. As for the others… 🥴well, Liu Lang is awful.

Haha, very nice. It does feel like it!

I expected the scene where Liu Chang found the sleazy secret room to be hilarious, but JCY was not being convincingly light-hearted or sleazy. Also, that tied up bondage doll made it look like a sordid murderer’s den!

As much as I love Li Xian, I don’t think he’s that convincing as a sleazy, carefree greedy minister.

Does anyone remember the scene in Romance of Tiger and Rose where they find sleazy paintings in Zhao Lusi’s belongings? That’s hilarious. I thought it would be like that scene.

I’m not watching until it’s all out, but I’m watching some clips. Can someone tell me if County Princess was originally infertile anyway (her husband in her first marriage mentioned it), and she is just falsely blaming HWF?

Me too. There is literally something really great in every episode! I’ve rewatched other dramas before and it isn’t always like this, pacing is uneven, or there isn’t a satisfactory conclusion. This drama really is amazing on the rewatch.

Watching it again and in the scene where Bi Zhi leaves he promises to take care of Li. I was like, who???? Must he his son with DQ. Haha, this is what happens when you ff episodes 🥲

The kiss scenes were really natural. They have such good chemistry and it wasn’t awkward or cringe.

Quite often Chinese drama directors make the scenes too cringey for me 😢- spinning background/falling into each others lips/FL too shy/ML cringe dialogue/ moving heads stiffly/ML pervy. I have high standards! Haha

FL was refreshing. No tik tok make up, no over the top accessories or clothes, and she acts without self-consciousness.

Rewatch!

For the main couple, yes. Everyone else.., not so

It was really sad, DQ couldn’t bear to have people treat BZ like a beast, using him to fight, so she killed herself and the baby. Her only wish all along has been consistent, to have BZ live freely, free from trying to please her family, free from being looked down in and free from the sacrifices and duties that come from being in a noble clan.

I came here wondering the same thing. Wang Ruichang had a hit with a river runs through it and In a class of her own. Why is he back to this drama with low budget and unknowns? ☹️
