   @Katztronaut I love Miantang too. I liked that she was very feminine and comfortable in her role as a wife. Yet, she was also very strong and independent. It goes to show women don't have to act tough and wear amour to be strong.

     Sometimes, when my favourite Chinese drama shows get too intense, I need a show that I'm not as invested in as a "break" - that was "Are you the One?" for me. The beginning of the story was so far fetched, I rather watched this with more of a detached interest. Unexpectedly, around episode 20, it got really good. 😆 I really like Liu Miantang's character. She's not the innocent little flower that got harmed by the deception of the prince... quite the opposite, surprisingly. And even if I know, in the end she will probably take him back, I like her intelligent and capable ways fighting for her independence. Some of the secondary characters are also very well written & portrayed, Shi Xueji for example, whose fate is quite a deep reflection on the boundaries women are subjected to and how it's not easy to break free, even if one tries one's best. #cdrama #chinesedrama
