Discussion Thread for "The Sleepless Princess" (ended 3rd Sept) and other currently airing dramas

Hi C & K

I was watching the trailers for Ep 21 & 22. 

In Ep 21 A Shuang and her funny accent is back. FL follows Song brother after losing the bet. 

Ep 22 FL’s back in the Li mansion, now BF with third uncle. Song girl yet again shift her interest, to third uncle. I think third time lucky. Anyway no men left for her to choose. She’s been there for a long time. As predicted we see FL’s jade pendant . I don’t know how Song brother got hold of it but he’s returning to FL but refuses to let go of her hand. 

It’s going to be more interesting from here on. I enjoyed this drama a lot because it doesn’t have much heart breaking scenes and the humour is good. A Mao and Mei Xiang are trustworthy and loyal to ML and FL.

In fact the entire cast is good. It’s a good script and costumes are nice without being overdone. 

Looking forward to the new episodes. 

Hey C,

When I look up the name of FIL it doesn’t show Fallen for you as one of the dramas he acted in. But he’s good. 

FL maintain that she did what A Shuang asked her to do -draw the naked men. So funny! She still doesn’t get it that she misunderstood. I like A Shuang’s accent. 

I think with FL’s character it would be difficult to accept her in another family. She’s unique. No wonder Song brother likes her.

Her reasoning for the jewellery was acceptable . Too many choices.lol. I particularly like that she’s quite unrefined. When her mother visited, she just propped up her one leg on the chair and she sits with one knee up.

They are both same age, 26. I don’t like her with short hair .

Yes she looks pretty with the painted flower on her forehead. She looks good in red and green. 

Not going for red ruby-can make it myself. Not difficult. Depends what I feel like having. I usually buy the Thai donut, similar to one like ‘you tiaw’( chinese crullers but the ones that are shorter, direct translation from Cantonese is horse leg), do you which one I mean? 

I only watch half of Ep 1 of the new drama . 

Hi C

Happy Mid-autumn festival.

I had to queue and waited for the freshly baked Shanghai savoury mooncakes. I am glad I bought the snowy skin and HK mooncakes earlier. They have sold out.

FIL and who else in Fallen for you? Thanks for the screenshot.

I have downloaded Perfect and casual. May watch it tomorrow when I take the train to the city. The Thai donut is not as dense as our you tiau. 

ML’s birthday is in November.

Even DITK the ML’s mother is against the FL. 

Better unrefined with a good heart than ladylike and evil heart like evil cousin. 

Hi C

Thai donut or Pa Thong Ko is similar to our you tiao but softer . It goes with pandan dipping sauce made from coconut milk. 

We get durians and durian mooncakes here. Durian is popular with Hong Kong Chinese and mainland Chinese but my whole family don’t eat durian. I cannot stand the smell.

Yes cousin is a bit cuckoo-she’s obsessed with marrying ML.

I just watched up to Ep 12 and then 24 for DITK. Suddenly ML’s brother turn up, must be half brother. 

Yes you did mention about FL’s mom. There’s always a few of the same casts in another drama together. And the mother is always the same people like the mother for FL in Skate into love is the same as FL’s in Love Equations and FL’s mother in Sparkle Love. 

I don’t really feel up to watching DITK but just I’m already more than half way so may finish it.

It’s almost weekend. You’ll get your rest soon. It’s a struggle at first, going back to the office.

Hi M&C:)

i started on Love is sweet, up to episode 12 so far and I really like it. The FL looks so much better w/out the wig she wore in Luckys first Love.. I kept wanting to brush her hair.

 She looks very pretty in LIS. I like her independence And her friendship.it’s  nice  how they speak to each other w.out talking 

..Her friends crush is a  Bit awkward.. I don’t feel like 2nd ML really likes her and she’s fawning all over him so I’m not sure if that’s gonna last. I thought he was some sort of playboy with all The names of the girls or was that just for his dating site?

im not familiar with ML  but he is doing a a good job they have great chemistry.  He does treat her like  hes almost like a kid rom a teenager  (kind of an immature love) like when he pulled her pigtail but I get that he never let her grow up and now that she has he doesn’t seem to really get that he liked her all that time and still sees himself as her protector/guardian/how to I make her get stronger so she doesn’t cry /I can’t believe she grew up and is her own person.......I’m. not sure if there’s more:) But u get  the gist:)

the second ML,has the most awesome eyes.. really beautiful. It was like Superman.. when he took off his glasses I was like..wow..those eyes are stunning 

. I think his sister is in love with him..half sister?  I’m not sure if he’s good bad or on the cusp..like..does  he likes FL but Yet  still like his  step sister?  They seem very close. She obviously likes him ..

OMSL didnt look like any new episodes came out this week. Maybe theyll finish it next week.. subbed up to ep 11 so im really understanding lots more.. he really is sweet. Love how he lights up when he’s proud ,of her.. ill look for the latest trailer 

boba  tea is  popular here, they sellit at the mall.  we have a very diverse community so lots of Korean, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, food places all around. I have a Number of Indian Japanese and Chinese clients and we are always talking about recipes, they sound soo good:)

C..I’m going out for my walk right now.. I’m not a good morning person. :) I’m more of a night owl  & the weather here is perfect we’re going into Fall so it s about 65 F (18C).
nite:)

Hi K,

Song brother in the first place didn’t specify the terms if he’s the winner. When he won the bet he wanted FL that’s why she has to follow him. I think it’s temporary ML tailed them but Song brother later took her to somewhere remote. Don’t know how she got back home.

I hope they show the  arrival of the baby.

Hi C Where did you find previews of ep 21 22?  Can t find it..but it might be in Chinese  & those only come up on my computer with a link

I know kinda bummed no new episodes this week.  Boba tea is about $5 for a large cup. My daughter and niece both love it.  oriental type foods/drinks are becoming more popular here. I’m about 400 miles south of. New York City , so it’s warmer and less cosmopolitan.  NYC would have all kinds of food and drink more easily accessible. Years ago .  here they are just  starting to catch  up:)

Hi M..  I have to watch that episode again bc I can’t imagine ML letting her out of his site,, ..especially with another man... although she can hold her own, she slapped Song girl pretty soundly and could def take her in a fight.. (i wa hoping she took crazy girl over the side and into the pond when she went over..no Cush luck!!).   oh yeah she did kick the evil girl who tried to kill her when she didn’t do the paintings ... does ML know about the paintings??

i watched ep 11 subbed and realized ML got mad bc FL as happy fairy drew in another man and he got jealous...so sweet  Haha

C..hang in there with LIS.. at first it took me few episodes bc the ML kept annoying me about  FL not working at MH but she shows him she’s a grown up now..although initially he treats her like a kid..makes me wonder if he ever dated anyone:).

and I FINALLY finished Maiden Holmes and I only have to work this Saturday not Sunday so I have time to try some new dramas and go hiking:):D.....can’t decide if it’s dramas first or hiking::):)  we are surrounded by mountains here. It’s very pretty.
