Well, I disagree about no chemistry. It's just that the romance here is not in your face and not the focus of the drama. And also both characters are quite quirky. But the way it is written - with subtlety, developing feelings by saving each other from danger and having meaningful private talks - it's actually quite believable and looks genuine.

Guess what it is 🙄
Anyway, don't forget to rate each episode as well.

Nothing, too bad you didn't like it.

Opinion.

That’s his casual waxed wig, lol. Nobody’s having hair that fine irl like they do in historical dramas.

Let’s hope there won’t be a Red Wedding, lol. But it should have a good ending according to the novel. Hopefully script writers won’t change anything drastically.

Who cares.

I liked the one about cult babies and epic grandpa’s revenge the most.

I saw one scene, but it wasn’t this one. And also, it was obvious there’d be romance from around episode 9, 16 the latest if you were sleeping while watching.

Do it, it’s great, especially the later half.

Those who paid attention did.

He's likely not relevant to the story. Not all royal family has to be involved in this plot.

He updated some sort of celestial calendar for upcoming years. Was probably important for planning yearly events on auspicious days and somesuch.
EDIT: It's this thing:

She gradually started regaining memories from episode 1, after she recognized ML's incence satchet's fragrance. She recalled everything around episode 22.
But it really is diffucult when you're just a kid who can't even comprehend what you saw back then, and there were people who didn't allow you to see the most gory moments. Still, that was a huge traumatic experience and shaped FL into who she is. Same with ML.

Yea, the script here is well written and paced. From a cursed lone star to realization that there are so many friends she's made along the way who really care about her and are willing to risk their lives to save her.

Nice guys like ML likely didn't exist back in the day. It was all very practical, mercantile and decided between men who were women's legal guardians. Nobody asked women whether they wanted to marry somebody, especially if a woman was from a rich noble family.
The emperor likely was glad that there's a suitable guy wanting to take off unruly FL off his hands. If he was truly evil though, he would have married her off years ago, but he really did coddle her it seems.

He thought she was playing rebel and faking it. He even asked the eunuch in the end whether her poisoning was real.

Btw, does that actor who plays eunuch Guo often play eunuchs? He's like the epitome eunuch, with artistic pronunciation and all. I just love hearing him pronouncing decrees 🤣.

Let's see about that.

And some other people throw logic out the window to allow their imagination to run wild.
