I am glad to see you are enjoying TPR! Didn't I warn you to avoid this place while you are watching? I don't even bother responding to many of them. You should see my post at the top under discussions. Someone called me a liar and accused me of being biased like her comments are not biased. An opinion is not a fact so is it a lie?

LOL! This is what I am trying to understand! And then they attack me for positive thoughts. So far I have been called a bot, liar, biased, and when I don't respond they are deluded enough to think it is because I don't know how to counter argue. I don't respond to people not worth my time. There is no point having discussions with certain people. I even blocked some.

This is great to hear!

Yes! How did I forget that? When LR jumped out and ran after PWX and he softened. Then in the end he said, "Let's go home." I love him so much for being!

I watched the first 5 episodes again on Netflix but thinking to wait till they release more so I can watch uninterrupted. When you get to the umbrella scene, tell me what you think. I feel that scene emphasized that SRQ had not changed whereas LR and PWX were moving forward together. I posted my thoughts in my feed if you want to take a look or rather I copied and pasted my comment in there for myself as a note. I don't usually use my feed .

I am glad you did. Hardly anyone was commenting on the good scenes. Most comments were about LR gazing at SRQ or SRQ's time. While I understand everyone is free to comment here, it would have been nice if there was more of a balance. There so many favorite scenes for me.

Oh. When he went back and said he forgot something and kissed her cheek...
*After LR found out the truth from SRQ about who killed her, she kept asking PWX if had anything to ask her and he gave her time. He didn't push her to tell him. He just let her know he was there.

I don't know if I should start any drama while still airing. Sometimes it is such a fun experience to discuss the episodes but the waiting is frustrating especially when they skip days. And also the experience in this forum makes me feel it is better to watch alone. It was such a mood killer to come in here. I would watch an episode and feel happy with the main couple then come in and all I saw were hateful comments against LR and SRQ. I know people are free to comment but in this case, watching first would have been better.

Even though they didn't go into PWX's political career in detail, I could see that he was a brilliant strategist based on how quickly he analyzed situations.

The scene in ep 11 and 12 where they cleared up the misunderstanding was focused on PWX's feelings for QZZ and LR's hurt because she thought he loved QZZ.

The drama didn't put everything out clearly. But certain scenes were significant depending on perspective. From my point of view, the umbrella scene wasn't about LR looking back and yearning for SRQ while PWX walked away with her. Instead, it was a juxtaposition of the past and now where SRQ looked the same and has not changed, but LR and PWX are moving forward having learned from their mistakes. PWX will not step back this time and allow SRQ to step in. Both LR and PWS observed that SRQ looked the same in the umbrella scene. This theme was repeated in the final episode where both PWX and LR told SRQ that he had the choice to change but stayed the same.

I don't think he was absent. In The Double, Duke Su was absent in one episode. I think with TPR there was some talk about the producer giving preference to SRQ , but I don't know the source or too much about it.

Some actors are so good you can feel the sexual tension without seeing any kisses. I know some people are frustrated with Allen Ren because he doesn't do real kiss scenes but he knows how to use his eyes and expressions to make it work. Seven is totally lacking in this regard. I can feel nothing!

I am going by what was discussed in the drama in ep 11/12 where they promised to communicate because it was the misunderstanding about QZZ that led to their separation. I believe there was a scene toward the end when PWX said he was glad she was on his side this time, but I am not sure if that was the cause of their separation according to the drama. I am rewatching this on Netflix once more episodes come out.

*PWX telling LR he will wait for her 10 years or 20 years or however long
*PWX marching up the palace stairs to LR with no fear of the swords directed at him
* LR writing letters to PWX when he was assumed dead
* LR running toward PWX when she heard he was back. PWX hugging LR(disappointed she couldn't get over her trust issue and hug him back at that moment. Dont' know who to blame. Writer of director?)
* LR feeding PWX because his hand was hurt.
* LC's pain on hearing he killed LR ( this was touch because he had just risked his life to save her.)
* I loved the way Tong Ye tries to protect PWX whenever he saw anyone going after him.
* PWX cuddling with LR in bed saying he was not letting go this time
* The heartbreak in PWX and LR's eyes when they died in ep 1. (That was what made me feel they loved each other in their previous lives.)
* QZZ holding back tears when she saw her father in jail but could not reveal herself to him.
* There are more....

I was wondering why I felt nothing watching the intimate scene in ep 22. I felt Xu Kai's expressions were good but Seven doesn't have the right vibe. It just felt so flat! She goes through the motions with no feeling. If she is uncomfortable in intimate scenes, she should stop doing romantic dramas. Spoils it all the time!

The only visuals from the previews I found appealing was Xu Kai's. But I don't rate a drama based on the actors. I love his acting but the cp was not great. I hope now that Xu Kai is changing his agency, he will have better dramas with better cp. I loved him with Esther Yu but I lost interest in the plot half around ep 28 of S&F.

I remember that episode because at the end I felt something was missing without Duke Su! What is it about WXY that he makes everything so good? In AASOL, I wanted to see more of his character and his storyline but sadly they did not deliver. There are dramas I loved but fast forward through secondary couples as they can be extremely boring. But not when it is WXY! I am waiting for him to have a modern drama. I have some actresses in mind that I will think will be great match for him.

I am looking forward to it also and he impressed me so much here. It is not that I didn't love him in SOKP. I did. But the way he portrayed the different sides of PWX made me love him so much more.

Yes! You are right. I will be more careful. It is a good thing that it was cleared up and everyone here so far has been nice. I am excited to see him again and looking forward to more Chen Fei magic!

I loved them so much also. Just watch and enjoy. I watched it while it was airing and stopped reading the comments before I watched an episode.

Wonderful review!
