One thing that has lowkey stood out to me, I love FL's sense of humor, her like sarcastic/witty humor is pretty…
I've rarely seen a character that I like so many things about. Writers did a very good job with her. Too bad ML is so wooden, he only starts to show glimpses of emotion when under influence of alcohol or drugs.
Our lead couple is simply too smart for everyone else—so it’s easier to call it “magic” or say Xiao Huai…
I like FL here a lot, such a cool character. And her willing to put herself at risk to test harmful stuff or her mentor for lulz reminds me a lot about FL in The Apothecary Diaries anime/manga (also a story about the Imperial palace affairs). Yea, let's scar my arm or drink that deadly poison to see what's gonna happen, lol.
Ok. I think they're entertaining enough, with twists leading to completely different directions from the inital assumptions. But I feel this drama's more about the sad women's fates involved in those crimes and their plight and lack of rights in general in that era.
You gotta use uBlock or somesuch, these days it's basically a must for a browser. If you can't open it, then use VPN. Other than that, you can sub Disney+, this drama should be there.
it’s very common to see ratings like this in cdramas on mdl. The rating keeps fluctuating until the drama is…
Yea, I know people have very specific preferences here and ratings can't be trusted. I know what they are for kdramas, but not really for cdramas, I'm out of the loop here. This drama has good production and plot, scenes are coherently filmed (which is often a problem in c-media), actors are pretty good too. So what is it? Not enough hype? Not a romance drama? Actors are unpopular?
While some people think the FL carried the drama, interestingly many viewers including K-netz, had very different…
Yea, I'm not saying she's perfect here, but compared to ML... And she can do better, I've seen her in Snowdrop and Lovely Runner. It's probably the direction here.

Too bad you can't trust the ratings here whatsoever. It makes it hard to find anything decent to watch.
