I really don't recall if it was a trailer, a preview, a bts thing or what exactly.

It's the scene where MRJH jumps after her from the cliff I think? I was discussing it with someone else the other day so it happens I just don't recall where we saw it.

Do we know why she "dies" or pretends to die in the drama? I think in the novel it had smt to do with MRJH and he thought she betrayed him but she didn't.

Sorry, I don't remember where I saw it either.

It's in the one of the other trailers/mvs.

Lol it's the MRJH of course. I don't understand Mei lin's thought process though. They're showing us multiple times that he loves her, misses her etc. But what is she thinking? Obviously she still loves him since she ran to him when she woke up and made sure he was ok but now what? She's doing this marriage for peace but what does she actually want? And how are we going to get from this preview to her holding a knife to YQ's throat and jumping off a cliff?

It's so refreshing to see such a badass multifaceted and powerful female lead who is also allowed to be vulnerable and so completely in love. Contrary to what a lot of writers and fans seem to think, the two are not mutually exclusive and can go hand in hand beautifully.

That's cool, I hope it happens like you said because it sounds great.

I'm excited for all of this. Is this speculation based on the trailers/promos or do we know it's happening for a fact? Also I love that they're going to fight to cure each other's sicknesses that's my kind of couple.

Oh I'm calm lol just bracing myself for the angst when she finds out and I know that I saw the clips on my TL about the village. I was just wondering if there is a moment in the episodes that haven't aired yet where she tries to save him because you said "they run to save each other" and I know him diving after her hasn't happened but her diving after him already did so it's something I haven't seen in the promos.

I'm only 7 eps in and I can't help but read spoilers I'm not ready for the pain. How do we know they're gonna be running to save each other in the next episodes? I saw he dives after her in a trailer but hers already happened no?

TY, I do love a complex FL with agency, I also love a true partnership where the narrative doesn't paint either of the leads as more in love or more willing to sacrifice for the other. Oftentimes however, cdramas seem to think the 2 are mutually exclusive, which is why I've gotten more apprehensive in choosing what I watch.

I'm really in the mood for gorgeous winter landscapes but reading the comments to see if this is worth it is giving me whiplash. some are saying this is a slow burn with a loving and equal couple, others is calling it boring , wondering if the FL is even in love with the ML and heavily criticizing her.

Thank you again for the answers and suggestions.

Yes I understood that the theme is that you fall in love with someone's soul not what they look like I just meant that the consensus seems to be that the relationship is very much about the ML's depth of love for the FL while I prefer my fictional otps to fit the description I mentioned earlier but I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't really pay much attention to actors so I don't mind different interpretations, the script/writing is my priority tbh.

I was interested in that one as the face swapping seemed really intriguing but judging from the comments/reviews it seems they were 99% touting the ML and his utter devotion and love for the FL and not so much the other way around so I put it in the back burner.

I'll have to see for myself but I think that's just now the lingo to describe male leads in romantic shows and it has kind of lost all meaning. A lot of the time though the description seems apt because cdramas really love a deeply devoted madly in love ML and it's not reciprocated from the FL most of the time hence the term "loserism" seems appropriate.

I appreciate it, and I agree a lot of people only watch from the lens of what the ML is doing in terms of romance but in their defense in most cases, the writing is what's fueling that and the relationship is intrinsically built on him being a "simp" without much reciprocation.

Thank you that one looks great, any dramas that have already aired this year so I can binge watch them? I think the only one I recall from this year that had a mutually devoted otp is Blossoms of adversity.

That's reassuring, do you have any recommendations from this year that also fit this description? They seem to be a very rare commodity in cdramaland.
