it already broke 26k and was just a tad shy of 27k but didn't quite make it

the fragrance competition how does the scene go from funny to hilarious to insane to serious so fast

there is no correlation, it's all speculation

positivity has a half-life, and once the wave of praise fades, the critics lay in waiting, creep in, like boom-and-bust cycles, to stay on top

Xu Kai's hands were made for this role

Mei Si is hilarious. After witnessing Mei Zhuyu's true powers, he says, "I'm now the weakest in the Mei family." It's only funny if you follow his personaltiy quirks. Before he always tries to protect Mei Zhuyu. This dynamic deviated from the novel. Mei Zhuyu's demeanor after displaying great powers, he turned to Wu Zhen returning to his usual Mei Zhuyu demeanor, which is in keeping with the novel storyline, that's his personality in the novel too, and also Taoist exhibit different personality when fighting in contrast to non-fighting state they are calm, still, deliberate but viewers who don't know may criticize the acting. Mei Zhuyu never intended to show his true powers in front of them, but Wu Zhen was in danger. His 18 yrs of Taoist training but in that moment, Mei Zhuyu chose his heart. In the novel, it all happened differently, they both discover each other's powers at the same time.

i should have read it but I only looked at the pictures

The no-makeup look in Moonlit Reunion is on purpose to keep it real, with close-ups showing pores even on gorgeous skin. Even the noble ladies’ Tang Dynasty makeup—white powder, bold brows, red lips—is dialed back. This director is a perfectionist I think, very detail and precise.

Even if the cast or storyline doesn’t immediately appeal, anyone who truly appreciates dramas should at least check it out, even if selective scenes. The cinematography is breathtaking—far beyond what most current dramas offer. If possible, watch it on a large screen. Many scenes are designed to stir your senses and immerse you in the atmosphere. It feels like a treat.

I like romance too.

in the novel, he is said to be the most powerful Taoist (in this world setting), supposed to be way more powerful than Wu Zhen. When she witnessed his power, she never saw anything like it before, and she's seen other Taoist powers.

The director seems more focused on building the story and developing the characters than just showing romance. That doesn’t mean there won’t be romance—it’s still part of the story, just mixed in with everything else.

From a mathematical standpoint: the novel consists of 100 chapters. The marriage occurs in chapter 35, and the identity reveal takes place in chapter 45—spanning 10 chapters. Given that the drama adaptation has 38 episodes, this results in an average of approximately 2.6 chapters per episode. Therefore, it would take about 3.85 episodes to cover the arc from marriage to identity reveal, meaning the reveal would most likely occur in the 4th episode following the marriage, based on this pacing. I too hope it comes a few episodes sooner.

Chemistry, outside of science, is subjective. What someone feel may not be what I feel.

correct, first lady wu is empress and second lady wu is Wu Zhen, there is no wife #2 for Duke

he's hanging around because he suspects Pei, as shown in the earlier scenes of their encounter and what he said to his disciple. Also, he is protective of Wu Zhen and does not know she's powerful, and he doesn't like Pei's action. In the scene before, he couldn't' even bring himself to kiss her because of duty and even left her to go back to the temple.

Mei Zhuyu is Yang and Wu Zhen is Yin in Yin-Yang

in the novel, it came after they married

everyone knows social media is a toxic place, full of demons and few angels

right, Pei was a sickly child, and Wu Zhen was very good to him in the years he spent in Wu mansion, they became close. She knows his personality and character well, and really doesn't want him around to cause trouble.
