So who is 2fl that took over crystal yuan's role? Is it Cristy Guo?? I like her

They don't usually wear red for engagements or else what's the difference during the actual wedding. I wonder if he actually wore red in the novel and if there's reason for it

did anyone see that little detail of lby moving his arm so css can wrap her arm around his during the engagement ceremony. It's so cute lby donned himself in red attire like an actual wedding. I may be thinking too much into this, but it feels like he purposely wore red bc he had a hunch the actual wedding may not come to fruition.

Aaaaw, I thought Cristy was getting her own fl xianxa drama. I keep seeing videos of it on wb and assumed it's her very own drama, but it's in this drama. Now I will definitely pay attention when her parts appear.

She's due for a blow up. I've seen her act in many dramas before and she's not a newb. She can act cute and naive and then all badass in BW. I think BW gave her a good boost and some recognition of her acting ability. I heard she's doing a xianxa as a main fl, so I am stoked for that.

She's a veteran and she's good at the genre she does, aka this genre (fantasy, xianxa, wuxia). She's played a fox god before so a fox demon shouldn't be too far off for her.

I do like the cinematography and the colour scheme. As well as ml/evil lord's costume. Overall it 's pretty and gives off a movie style instead of a drama. I'm not going to mention the acting and plot.

I had wish esther's voice was dubbed for this. I can't get into the drama with her voice. There's a lot more dramas that will be out this month, I hope the others aren't a let down.

There are some scenes when it feels that way for me. Ofc after ep 32 and when they reconcile they are lovey dovey. I don't think there is a perfect relationship. There's always one that will make more sacrifices for the other, as long as they are willing. It's all about compromise

I see some mellon about Pearl but not many. 7 cut her hair short so some speculated maybe she's doing a modern. But another said last time she did utp her hair was short. So idk. Also there's no director yet for Pearl. So i feel like it may not be pearl bc the drama may not happen soon

I took offence to being compared to css' mom since you don't know me and you are judging me based on my comparison of css to minglan... that's very credible. Also, pray tell how my opinions or judgements of css is similar to css' mom?

I'm comparing css to minglan bc css seems to lack proper judgement sometimes, this is mostly regarding her actions in the palace. Her judgement in crown princess is horrible. Sure she could've been tricked by the sweet, poor, fragile image of crown princess since who doesn't like to help the victimized person. Lby could explain why she should stay away from crown princess, but css would most likely ignore his pleads, which she has, and think he's cold and ungrateful to queen raising him. Problem is, lby can't disclose why since that that would disclose his plans to dethrone cp. Css doesn't understand why cp would be a bad king, she just understands that queen treats her nice so she must protect the queen and prevent her from being sad, and by doing so it means css must help cp.

Css is a flawed character, but she is also loveable too. However, just bc she's the lead character doesn't mean we, or at least I, should support every action she does. She's a victim to her upbringings, her mom's teachings and bullying etc, so we empathize and sympathize towards her, but bc of this it blinds us and we just sweep her wrongdoings under the rug.

I assume you didn't watch Under the Power where ml is an embriodered uniform official, meaning he only takes orders from the king and is known as the reaper. I don't think, in the drama, the ladies mind a husband like that as long as he doesn't bring it back to his home. As long as he can separate work and family life, then it's all good.

ooh, I know which hat you are talking about

oh wow the two looks so different. The original actor looks slimmer and weaker looking. I prefer this AI, he looks more buff and sturdy which plays well for a general

oh clothes too. I'm sure they can photoshop it too. They did it for this drama.

that's ok. we agree to disagree.

They live in a dog eat dog world. If you don't protect yourself and become stronger than you get eaten by someone that is. Yes, css is pure and kind, but easily manipulated....look at crown princess manipulating css. She needs to learn the ways of inner court politics, at the very least. She doesn't have the smarts like Minglan in The Story of Minglan.

Yes, he did css dirty by leaving her stranded before their wedding. I don't think falling in love was in his plans, that was just something that happened spontaneously for him. He didn't stop her and luo's engagement, instead he gave them his blessing and even said he would help Luo get an out of state government position so that css can be free and do what she wants, out of her parent's reach. So, initially, he wasn't going to act upon his feelings for her, he was just going to keep his feelings to himself. But, perhaps, he felt the sadness and loss knowing css would marry luo, so when there was the opportunity to snatch css he gave in to his desires. It's like " I gave you away, but fate seems to be giving me a chance so screw it I'm taking it" type of thing. Also, lby deserves to be happy, even if it's only for a little while. Css brings him the little happiness he has, he seems to smile when it regards to hers.

that's something I did not know nor could I tell. Uncle Wan as in qiqi's dad?? If that's true then yz's drama may have hope since the kris wu scandal.

Exactly. I hope she learns to appreciate lby more. Relationships can't always be balanced, sometimes one has to give and the other one takes, but if one always gives and the other always takes then the relationship won't last.
