Am on episode 33 after the wedding. I’m deciding whether to continue or not. Obviously I’ve read the spoilers. I don’t know if my heart can’t take the remaining story arc.
I loved every bit of the drama up to here. Even if the three shards story dragged somewhat. I can still accept it. But then rest, I’m not ready.
There is a powerful message of inner beauty in this drama and I've written it here if you want to read: https://mydramalist.com/749641-in-blossom#comment-16666235For…
I shall try and read. I do agree with you that the first 2 episodes has a positive message. Since ML still likes her despite her looks. FL is smart and has a good heart. So why face asap. Even without the face swap, it would’ve been even more engaging.
But I’m still not able to move past changing the actress for JJY. Will come back and read ending spoiler when the drama ends so I still get to find out what happens.
Just watched until OG Cai Wei actress dies and will stop here. It’s a very interesting premise and the investigation story is good. I feel the story would’ve been better served by keeping the original CW instead of face swapping. It shows how FL overcame odds even when her face was disfigured. That would have been more empowering and give a positive message. Rather than face swapping with a prettier actress.
Signing off. Would’ve wanted more ML but can’t get into JJY as Cai Wei.
Can someone explain to me why Consort De poisoned FL? Because I didn't see it in the drama, unless the English…
She sees FL as the root cause of disagreements between the brothers. Or maybe their downfall. First she noticed 4th and 14th so she went to the Emperor to get her married to 13th. She feels the 4th loses his calm cold composure when it comes to FL. That's why she's got to go.
Just finished this. Love the OST and enjoyed the series. Overall it was an enjoyable watch. Xiao Wei and 13 were good together. Although I did like 4th prince also. I think he portrayed the character well. The only parts that bored me were the 8th prince group plotting scenes and Ming Hui. Would recommend those thinking of watching to go and watch. They won’t be disappointed.
Watching 2nd episode. So far so good. I just can't seem to get into Ding Yu Xi's character. Too much makeup and eyeliner. It's very distracting. But I will still watch. I hope I can get over it.
Was watching the previews and Ding Yu Xi's shoulder pads are so distracting. Looks so fake. I will wait for a few more episodes to to drop before I start watching.
I tried to watch this because I saw Zhang Yue Nan was here. I ended up fast forwarding to scenes which had her. Which wasn't many so I ended up not watching. Zhang Yue Nan needs to be cast in more dramas.
Just finished ep11. I can't wait for the last episode. I wonder how they will wrap it up. This deserves more views than the run of the mill standard idol dramas.
Omg! My sentiments exactly. She is so bad. I just want to blur her out. Even the child actress is better than…
True. That character needed to be there as a plot device. I get it. The actress no. They should have just done a made up story about them not being foreigners. They could be Chinese pirates. Could be a man. Anything just not her. And when clicked on her name, it says she won some awards. Huh? With that acting?
I’m on ep4 and while the premise is interesting , the female captain is driving me nuts. She can’t act or overacts. She is very distracting. They should’ve just made it a different character. I will finish the series because I want to know what happens. But I will not watch any other series with the actress.

This drama is doing a massive disservice to an otherwise uplifting story. Somehow they’re still saying only the pretty perfect people survive.
Signing off. Would’ve wanted more ML but can’t get into JJY as Cai Wei.
Maybe the character is helpful to CSJ. But as an actress, pass. Ruins rhe series.
