Hope soooo!!

you mean you finished season 1 already??

You mean I should try this........???

I lost count of it.

Grand mother plot is written badly... otherwise.. it would have been a good drama with positive vibes... of not giving up or whining when things fell apart.. they always look forward to make things work... possible bcoz its a small town....!!

These days and time... No investigation or DNA test before allowing a long lost, grand daughter home... forget about handing over the business on a platter to loot from....

yes... u r right, its just that.. i felt bad for the guy... !

See the difference......lol!!

Me on the rewatch mode! Ep 18 @ 20.20 Minglan's first encounter with Manning, you can see how capable Minglan is.
@ 31.30 Minglan's First confrontation with Gu TingYe, you can see back in her mind she knows she can trust him, thats why she sent her girls away... she never had any fears of being alone with GT and also she knows she can speak her mind without being misunderstood.
Both were classy.....!

IMO Bcoz of his entanglement with Manning that she steered clear from him.

He is the SML in the drama, liked Minglan

Ok Finally I have finished, I am amazed by the character Zhuang Shi Yang by actor Yu En Tai. What an actor to bring to life such a low life character whom everyone hated to the core... There isn't a single person in his life that he cared or loved.. which makes him worse than an animal.. (Animals will feel offended). If you notice in Ep 30, when Hanyan gave him such a wide spread of food... he was fidgeting with the food, resting his hand in the food, with his hand, what all he was doing... bcoz he thinks everyone is like him, so he cannot trust anyone. great acting...!!!

Wen Zheng Rong... jeez she was something... when she screamed the first time when we saw..her.. I thought i am watching some "Carrie" movie... powerhouse.. she was.

Chen Duling did her part very well... i am happy she got her drama finally... she really looked the part of the frail young thing, all the way to a noble lady...

Xin Yunlai first time I saw him in Cry me a sad river... what an amazing movie that was.. Here eventhough many people commented he was wooden, but i feel his part was like that.. he didnt want any attachment or start any relation . so being emotionless is his part...

One thing i must complain is his hair do.... atrocious!! that wide and hanging bun on his head... it looked like he got the wrong hair piece...some old lady's sloppy bun.....lol!!!

MDL didnt update her picture

Till ep 25, he could outsmart, officers, ministers, his wife, children, Duke and even the emperor....

Once, twice still they cannot make a preemptive move. They cannot predict he is going to crawl out...
Anyway I am on ep 25 and seeing him somehow falling on the floor and crawling around in tears... saying i am guilty I am guilty, made me wonder.. when when when.... this guy will get caught....
I know everything will be sorted out in the end....

I am going to finish it today..... but I must say, I have never seen such a sneaky slimy pathetic villain as Zhuang Shi Yang, who has no bottom line... will go down to any level to get his way. And in the drama from beginning till ep 25 he is getting away with it... 25 episodes.. no one could expose him...!! Does that mean.. there was no one smarter than him....???

I think we did talk on MDL Minglan page...did we?

He is royalty, father schemed to get rid of the consort who was Hanyan's support, the bargaining chip was giving him another wife... he never cared about anyone in his life......so married her off as a weapon against HanYan...

I am putting spoiler, so doesn't disturb others..

I checked your watched list, are you new to CDramas or you didn't update your MDL list..... let me know what you watched.. otherwise.. i will be listing everything u watched... I am noticed The Double and Blossom... in your currently watching... which are good dramas...

1. A Familiar Stranger... is a short drama, but keeps you glued to it..
2. The story of Minglan.... If you want serious amazing drama, too good, I rewatch every now and then,
3. A journey to Love, is another action packed drama...
If you want a drama, with amazing music, CGI, Leads have good chemistry... and also have lots of humour.... 4. Then Legend of Shenli... (so funny and serious too)
Palace Politics....5. The Rise of Phoenixes
6. Nirvana in Fire 2 - Really heart warming family plus politics...

these are all costume dramas, will take a few months.... then there are lots more...

Ayya...! I am taking a break... its not that its not romance... its going kind of aimless... just blind rage and revenge.... I will continue after the express release...

Meanwhile I have started "Spring Burning ".. total opposite of this... and its kind of healing after this.
Sweet, simple and feel good... !! Time pass
