Every month, I come back with high hopes, only to be disappointed by Tencent's scheduling. I'll hold back my feelings…
It will not be that bad because they are spending money to promote the drama. But I do think that because her previous reality show got canceled due to citizens' complaints, they need some time to let people forget about it first.
My rating for this drama, only because I feel sorry for the actors! They did their best in this situation. So frustrating even to the end! I am very conflicted about the rating for this drama. The story was just going downhill from when FL fell off the cliff. But I hung on and watched till the end (Why? Because none of my anticipated dramas are showing!). Is it watchable? Sure. But was it enjoyable? Was it the best? No. There were moments of shine but overall it was just too convoluted and trite. Everything shown has been shown on CDrama countless times. There's just no surprise.
I thought ok - I will give it an 8 if the ending makes sense. But no. It was just plain frustrating and draggy even down to the last minute. I can't believe these good actors put up with the scripts!
Anyways, I am going to go easy and give it a 7.5 as the ML acted well and FL towards the end was just annoying. You have to ask why she didn't even glance back at the ML as she rushed out of the cage to save her master who couldn't be saved. OMG!!! Rolling eyes.
I really tried hard with this one and I really wanted to enjoy it but it’s been on hold for me for three days…
I agree with you. It's getting worse and worse. The plot sucks and there's no redemption. Right now I just want to finish and hoping better dramas will come in August!
Maybe looks, personality, and chemistry are important too. :-) One has it and the other doesn't. Actually, ML…
It's not about looks. Love is not about one woman looking better the other. It's about the looks that he prefers. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. So looks is very individual and might have nothing to do with beauty in the conventional sense.
I personally think the actress playing ZZ looks better too because her face looks natural. But that's just me. Who knows what other people think.
there's actually nothing tao hua has that meng zhen zhen doesn't. shen zai ye could have fallen for zhenzhen the…

In your view, that is the ideal tool to create suspense, then?
There are many ways to create suspense. You can google "how to create suspense". The way they are doing it is the easiest: "hiding information from the audience". And then, oh we did this behind the scene. You didn't know about it.
I would rather have the all the clues and decide for myself. This method requires more effort.
This drama has been using a tool to create suspense that I don't like. It creates a situation where audiences think that bad things will happen to the leads when in actually, they have a plan/conspiracy in place that we don't know about until they "surprise" us with a successful feat. Then they show the behind the scenes that they didn't show to us previously.
It's the easy way out of making an interesting plot. If you notice, this tool has been used a few times already. I suspect ML and FL are working together to spy on the 3rd prince.
