Secret Forest
More Hilarious and Heartbreaking than the Previous Seasons
Definitely a solid 9/10. This season continue that best thing the drama is famous for; full of fluffs from beginning to end. And what more surprising to me is that this season didn't disappoint at all and in my opinion more hilarious and heartbreaking than the first two. The 2nd season to me, is still the best romance drama in my book and this season followed a close second.
I love love love Lian Cheng's bewildered face everytime he turned back to the 8th Young Master after their kisses and I love how Tan'er remains positive, lively and all around playful and shameless in the pursuit of him. I personally feel that there are so many memorable romantic scenes particularly the veil wedding kiss (how awesome is that?) or the confession scene under the cherry blossom tree where Lian Cheng hangs the 100 reasons why he loves Tan'er. I have like 2345624 other favorite scenes from them in this drama but let’s not go there lol. I think this drama will always be a winner in term of coming out with sweet, creative and out of the world romantic scenes from other Xian Xia romance drama of the same genre.
Aside from that, since the drama is set in alternate Dong Yue where the women rule the government, this matriarchal system settings set some refreshing ideas that the couple has to handle. Like the usual kabedon was done by Tan'er instead and the 'Not Satisfy' trick that Lian Cheng did in the previous season was done oppositely by Tan'er. Other than that, issues which are usually women's problem and duty such as virginity, shaving, serving husband as well as managing the household are tackled excellently which cause huge embarrassment for Lian Cheng especially the shaving part. He totally didn't deserve it but the hilarity the whole plot caused is just too priceless. I also like the fact that aside from seeing it from men' POV, they also show how when women are the leaders, they have to handle money as well as difficult states' issues (which is not Tan'er's forte :P) and I like it when Lian Cheng pointed out to Tan'er that last time when she wants to indulge and make him happy, she only has to chose 'Love' and now she has to chose between 'Love' or 'Money'.
This drama has been a stress relief for me since S1, and S2 and S3 follow the exact same formula that I love. For me, it’s a first time I encountered a drama which is just full of happiness from beginning to end. Even when they face many tragedies, you know its gonna end well since they basically facing all adversities together and relying on each other. That kind of understanding is rare and this drama portray it really well.
Rewatch value is 100%. I don't think I will ever get bored watching this no matter how many times since its just full of pleasure and hilarious! Even the filler episodes are hilarious as hell. It’s like a go to drama when you just want to feel happy and relax. Lian Cheng is Lian Cheng which is a King of Teasing with or without his memories and Tan'er, is Tan'er. :D
----------------------------------------------
For all those confusion regarding the identity of Lian Cheng and Tan'er, they are all the same person for all the 3 seasons. The drama is very straightforward so if you understand the concept of parallel worlds, everything is very clear and easy to understand.
Mo Lian Cheng is the same from S1 & S2. Except this time, he is with amnesia. But he is still the same person. Young Master Lian Cheng in this new Dong Yue is the one who drawn. I guess we will never got to know him since now Lian Cheng from S1 & S2 has occupied his body in this season. While Sir Lian Cheng the doctor is Mo Lian Cheng's past life. Mo Lian Cheng has his memories as well when he went to Xianlung Continent at the end of S1. So, he is like 3 in 1 = Original Lian Cheng + Sir Lian Cheng when he got all Sir Lian Cheng's memories + 8th Prince when he combined with his body in S2. They are all the same person.
Qu Tan Er is the lady from Qu Family who is in love with Mo Yi Huai. Qu Xiao Tan went inside her body and she died at the end of S1 so this Lady Qu is no longer in the equation. S2 Xiao Tan is without memories but she got her memories back when she was kidnapped by her father at the alter and the orbs made her remember all back. That is why in the ending of S2, she mentioned Xianlung Continent to Lian Cheng to show to us that she has gotten all of her memories back. So at the end, S1 & S2 & S3 Xiao Tan is the same person. Tan'er is Qu Xiang Tan reincarnation and in this Dong Yue's timeline , Qu Xiang Tan did not die and establish Dong Yue instead of Mo Yi Feng, That is why only Lian Cheng is reborn this this timeline (Young Master Lian Cheng from Mo Family) and not Tan'er -- the body that Tan'er occupy this season just happen to have the same face as the Empress since they are Aunt & Niece but she is NOT her reincarnation as Qu Xiang Tan did not die in this timeline.
