budget differences. and his emperor fits actually have meaningful motiffs. also, yty doesn’t have idol drama…
I agree that the filter in Fated Hearts at times was a bit much.
And I do like that they have REAL skin here. I’ll be conscious to note the motifs on his robes.
Perhaps it’s the total updo bun too. And it might just be me, but he does seem a bit slimmer here (perhaps less layers of robe too) so his presence seemed different.
Are You The One? is Wang Churan's best drama in my opinion, I'm currently watching it right now. She's truly strong,…
I have mixed feelings about AYTO. She was super powerful but then half way through the plot, when she regained her memories and found out who he really was, that whole bad as assassin vibe kinda got lost. I still thoroughly enjoyed that show, however.
Ren susu is definitely one of the most hated characters main characters i believe because i saw a poll on youtube…
She’s flawed. And loves Qingyi in her own convoluted way. She wants to protect him but their past, her revenge and their circumstances are so messy. Here, I thought he was gonna be the most toxic one in this show, but she takes the cake haha
Oh, it dropped even further. What's the deal ? Personally I was threw off by the AI opening in the very first…
Lots of factors. Many have been said before. AI, CGI and some over the top cuts/ dramatic acting. But overall, this plot is engaging (for me), their relationship is toxic, angsty, complex, and layered upon misunderstandings and secrets.
Its everything it was expected to be. Lots of hate online and many, despite not watching it (or seeing previews) are jumping onto that bandwagon. Furthermore, the blow up of POJ and ZLH has amplified comparisons and hate, as people felt it didn’t not live up nor support ZLH’s continued hype.
Personally, I say watch and judge for yourself. Their relationship is messy. So don’t expect 33 episodes of tangos and other pretty scenes you’ve seen in trailers or short videos. Positives are definitely their costumes, the performances and that the episodes are quite short and the plot moves quickly.
They promised us toxic and angsty for a year, and they delivered. Cinematography and directing aside, it baffles me how people are surprised that their relationship is like this.
Only relationship I could second to this is probably Tantai Jin and Li Susu.
Maybe it’s a thing for Susu’s to be in toxic relationships LOL
I NEED THE EXPRESS NOW !!! Enough with the torture from the characters to one ep per day.
Ep 26 had me! Never a dull moment. Fave scene when Qingyi realises Le’an is his son from the broad bean allergy and confronts Susu about it!
Their relationship is a complex toxic web. She loves him and keeps things from him. Which also creates his misunderstandings. Things would be easier if she would just be honest with him. Deep down love and hate are this delicate line. They’re both flawed characters. Both have trauma.
I for one, love how fast paced this show is. Nothing is dragged out for too long! And I’m swooning at ZLH’s styling in literally every scene.
These MangoTV English subs are killing me 😂 On a side note, is it just me or is the styling a bit plain? I’m struggling to see CZY as the regal emperor he’s meant to be. The costumes, makeup etc are a bit too basic. At the start I thought his makeup was a bit much, but together with his hair and costumes, he really shone as the regal first prince Feng Sui Ge.
Gradually waiting for Meng Meng and He Du’s mutual distrust and drama to turn into jealously and affection. 🙃
Just saw the airing schedule for the remaining 10 episodes. They’re really dragging this out aren’t they? Hope there is express. Until the 5 and then normal eps on the 12 Aug is a long time for a 33 ep show.
Just saw the previews for ep 22-23! 😮 While this show undoubtedly has directing and cinematography flaws, can’t deny that the plot happens and shiz unravels quickly! Never a dry eye or dull moment lol.
I loved it ... insane chemistry btw ...first 11 eps / ep17 / last 8 eps are great for me.... I really love characters.…
I agree. First 20-22 eps were great. The plot picked up again from ep 28 and the ending arc was done fantastically. Was about 4-6 filler eps and they could’ve sped up the love triangle, stagnation and her mum’s death imo. Could’ve been a solid 28-30 ep drama. Still, loved this show so much!

But the mum is loco.
Ep 23 will be super heartbreaking for our CP too.
3 stabs? Significant Republican reduction of 108 lashes 😆
In the first few scenes it sounds like they dubbed themselves in a muffled room lol
But he’s doing the best by his family in his eyes.

We were on such a roll with 2 eps a day, gotta endure a drip feed until mid this week!
