that's why you don't understand the drooling and the raving over him. ive seen abt 300 cdramas, and story of kunning palace is my favorite of them ALL. hands down. ling he is devastating as xie wei and the story is awesome and the direction is top shelf. it does have it's flaws but they are minimal imo.

PLEASE NO gods above do not tone him down.... ling he is so good when he goes dark

the dirty look he gave her father when he got busted kissing her forehead in the carriage gives me the shivers every time

they legal, she did it for legal reasons of inheritance

it's so cool how this story starts out so quiet and theres all this domestic small scale stuff, but you can feel the plot stirring beneath like a leviathan rising from the depths, its gonna be lit i can feel it

she's a good actress, but she has got to dig deep for A) spice and B) strong emotions like grief.

i have no doubt this director really worked with her to make sure she tapped into the best of what she has to offer, but we'll see if she can bring the spice. The chemistry is there and so far she fits the role amazingly well, but she has a big range of emotional demands coming ahead for her character and we are gonna see what she is made of, if she can carry an a-list drama or not. I'm rooting for her.

i think so, and i'm pretty picky. i usually tear dramas apart and get clobbered in mdl comments sections, but not this time i really like it a lot. This is top shelf goods.

i appreciate the full story happening for you in this... he's a marquis and he's never had any of the things they're showing during the quiet days they're having here. He's never sold meat, eaten what there was because that's what there was, gotten excited for someone over a few taels of silver, never been so mad at a loser village butcher or gossip, never roasted chestnuts with anyone. Later when shit gets real, he's gonna look back on all the little things like talking in bed or sitting in the sun or eating chestnuts or orange candy, or wiping away her lil sis's tears and giving her a pinky swear. all this will feed into some beautiful dramatic moments later i think. im also glad the comedy is lowkey, i like shows that take themselves seriously, espeically with hotties like these in them. I think all this will work for the drama and not against it. At least that's what im hoping.

HE DID NOT DISSAPPOINT!!!!!!!!! Thank you director for finally doing that hottie justice on the screen weeewwwww lawd! hope his career breaks through on this one.

that ending was so so dumb considering all they put us through.... if they had ended it well, it would have stayed higher rated.

the pacing and character development and aesthetics are so so on point, it's impossible not to love it rn as it stands....

when he fed her that chestnut i was like ohhh lawd, it's over for him he's done. he did it so unconsciously.

how are you in my head lol

i think it's showing the winter beginning to give way to spring? at least in my area, that's what it's like in late march and early april... some places snowy and some not

last one like this i think was rise of the phoenixes
?

he's had people give him bad roles, bad lighting, bad makeup, bad production quality, rushed him through scenes and preparation on tight schedules, paired him with FL's that dont compliment him well, all that shit.

you mean FL's ex-bf?

YASSS

he. is. so. hotttt. I really like Deng Kai and feel like his charisma never gets fully tapped into by his projects, i'm so happy to see a director take the time and attention on him that he deserves to bring out his best. FINALLY
