Girl, if you like meaty plots like you said, Rebel Princess needs to be tmr not someday 😭 There is romance, but there's so much more going onnn. So much goes on in the state, initially, her family seems perfect and is all connected to the crown, her Aunt is the Queen from her dad's side, her Uncle the emperor from her mum's side and her father is the prime minister. Having all these people in power can become more complicated than you might think. She often calls herself Naive as the show goes on, for not recognizing things as they were at the time. I HIGHLY recommend it might be your next best watch, idk. Her marriage is also a political one that she has to navigate properly.

You're right, you forgot Fan Xian has a love interest in JOL. I still haven't watched the second season. Which one do you prefer, S1 or S2?? I also was a bit underwhelmed by the plot twist in JOL, concerning Fan Xian and the emperor. IDK i felt like I could tell

Have you watched Nirvana in Fire?

One of my favourite things about Story of Minglan is the acting, how natural Gu Ting Ye and Minglan as well as the rest of the cast acted and you can find it here with Ci Sha and Ren Mi, the acting and chemistry is delicious. I wouldn't say it's all romance but looking at your watchlist I'm not sure if you'll care for the plot outside of that because the leads are the main selling point for me, The Fl and ML both know how to cheme to ge their ways and the ML loves to play the long game with his schemes, similar to Gu Ting Ye. This defss could've done well as a longer show, I actually want to see the leads in something similar to Minglan, Rise of the Pheonix because they can hold their own.

A lot of people praised Ci Sha for being able to act well alongside the actor that plays Chen Ping Ping in JOL, but Ci Sha was in the creation of the Gods, so anyone who went through that gruelling training has incredible potential to me. He also acts alongside Jackie Chan, Tony Leung, and many veteran Hong Kong actors.

Ren Min was in Serenade of peaceful joy, not sure if you've watched that and her debut movie "Cry me a sad river." a Best Newcomer award at the Beijing Film Festival. After doing some research I think her career was a bit stunted by some controversy after starring alongside a certain actor

So the acting is just incredible (To me)

What shows do you recommend tho? I started watching the Imperial Age for the costumes and FSF.

I checked dramas in you've wathed or plan to watch and I see you do love meaty plots, I can see how a person could compare this to Minglan because you have both FL and ML who understand each other so well and scheme together, to be continued I need to go I'll be back soon Lmao

I saw a reuter of CYY whipping someone, I hope it's CXY

I'm officially a fan too, but I personally expected a lot from him lmao because I know he does movies.

I might be the minority but I would've liked a straight wig rather than wavy hair on him 😭

Same, at the end of the day, Sanye is still human, with Ye Xian she didn't have feelings for him but had feelings for Chen Xuan Qing, that's a lot to take in. Plus, he didn't just get angry and push her away; he communicated that he needed space, which is the logical thing to do. San Ye has always been logical

Gu Jin Zhao is very reasonable so far so there must be more to it than we see dwwwww

Yesss I still call him elder Yu’s lol, he was so depressed in MJTY, his acting is really convincing because he hasn’t done much yet, the looks he give makes me scared of what to come. He also seems like such a hollow person, like there’s nothing inside him

Girl
I found the shadows edge on a site and illl watch it! Thanks for recommending I also started creation of the Gods!

Right like Ye Xian has outbursts, but as the third uncle says, he's just young and reckless, but Xuan Qing is a fucking creep, my skin crawls when I see him and he hasn't even done anything yet

4 minutes into episode 30, Ci Sha, the Male lead, isn't wearing a wig; it's all his hair. He has long, luscious hair. I think they filmed scenes with his real hair, then switched to a wig and couldn't reshoot

Chen Xuan Qing is creepy af I'm scared 😭, his eyes are always wandering around

Yes his voice might be too gentle for an imposing minister 😭

okay I'll save tme then thank you!

I think he will be redeemed, I saw a clip of him and Chen Yan Yun smiling and shaking hands both in armour, after giving them way during the wedding he has probably conceded

He's insane, I also want to see the scene where he carries her and San Ye slaps him, like wtf is he doing. What makes me laugh is that San Ye is always in his court attire when things go down, the man is just back from work and people keep doing shit 🤣

I should probably read the novel too!

I'm sorry for going on a rant, but I forgot to mention Ci Sha's luscious, long and shiny hair. I wonder what his hair routine is, lmao, atp he might not need a wig they just need to pack his hair up in a bun

Also, to follow up on my rant below, I hope Ci Sha can use his own voice for his next drama. I was looking through clips, and his voice is incredibly gentle. You guys need to go listen to it.
