losing my mind a little over this couple, the chemistry is CHEMISTRYINGGG honestly tho, glad they got a chance to act together again bc i sadly couldn't get into White Cat Legends... the plot in this is so much more appealing so far!

Dani✨ · 1 · 1d ago Yes and yes.
Dani✨ · 1 · 1d ago Wait, they also worked together in Melody of Golden Age. Did you watch it?
catniss | ♡ ✧･ﾟ 💘 · 1 · 1d ago oh wait yes, sorry, i meant that one LOL! white cat legends was a different drama! 😂
catniss | ♡ ✧･ﾟ 💘 · 1 · 1d ago i mean i tried to watch Melody of Golden Age but struggled with it :( maybe i'll give it another shot sometime haha
James · 1 · 1d ago I was wondering if you meant #MelodyOfGoldenAge lol
Yes, I watched that one, & while it had its strengths, there were issues to do with pacing & direction that let it down particularly in the final 3rd
This present drama is definitely a much stronger collaboration 👍
catniss | ♡ ✧･ﾟ 💘 · 1 · 1d ago yeah it's a shame as the pairing was great! i definitely agree this drama has a lot of strengths in comparison!
i've seen some complaints about the acting (which i don't agree with lol) but i'm fully on board with the story so far!
James · 1 · 1d ago Oh? I’m not aware of any serious complaints? (though I haven’t been on MDL to check them out 🙂)
I’ve only vaguely heard that some Chinese netizens are upset with Ding Yuxi for having a slightly stooped posture for his character 😅 (which I think perfectly suits his role)
James · 1 · 1d ago Or are people criticising Deng Enxi? It’s unfortunately often FLs who seem to get criticism coming their way
catniss | ♡ ✧･ﾟ 💘 · 1 · 1d ago ah no, it was about DYX, but yeah I agree that FLs do get a lot of criticism which is a shame! I think she's doing a grand job though!
my only criticism was I would have preferred their own voices as the voice actors throw me off slightly lol!

catniss | ♡ ✧･ﾟ 💘 · 1 · 1d ago ah, not MDL this time, but Tumblr haha! i usually avoid looking in case of spoilers but was looking at gifs 😂
oh I had no idea about the stooped posture thing, I hadn't even noticed haha!! I think he's doing fine though!!
Dani✨ · 1 · 1d ago I struggled at first too but ended up liking it. Sometimes it depends on the mood.
People seem to be enjoying Royal Betrothal right now but I found it too violent. I will come back to it one day and make sure if it’s not my cups or tea.
catniss | ♡ ✧･ﾟ 💘 · 0 · 1d ago i'm watching Royal Betrothal as well and can't get into it like I wanted to.. idk if it's just the chemistry isn't there for me, and I'm not so sold on the plot haha. but I might as well finish as I'm at ep 22 already!
definitely can depend on the mood tho, as you say!
Dani✨ · 1 · 1d ago lol yes I felt the same about that cdrama. Oh well!
Visual Learner · 1 · 21h ago The plot is 🚮
OMG i didn’t realize that deng enxi is the actress in #MelodyOfGoldenAge?! the one ding yuxi cdrama i’ve actually completed?! (i want to watch this drama so much i don’t have the [legal] streamer access)
ohhh what did you think of Melody of Golden Age? I struggled to get into it but I'm having consideration about trying it out again sometime!
I hope you get to see this sometime, it's very good!! 🙏
