I'm utterly conflicted. I wish there were a few more episodes to flesh out some of the plots but I'm also happy…
This is well said! I completely agree with your analysis of their characters and circumstances. “They need to fully let go of that part of themselves in order for them to love the other person completely without anything holding them back”.
Btw I have a question related to ancient China’s history. As mentioned multiple times in LLTG, when a person does not obey his/her elders, he/she can be convicted for defiance. Was that really a thing back then?
Lou Ben’s storyline made me sad and cry a bit Despite his competence, they chose to hold him down, forced to…
I understand where you’re coming from. There’s no excuse for the path he has chosen though. It’s not like he didn’t have access to the power. He’s been given choice to shine by LBY multiple times. With his boldness, he could have disobeyed and bypassed his uncle easily. But he chose the worst way possible.
Now I am curious how CSS figures out LBY’s real identity in the novel. Do you mind sharing more details?
Ah it’s feet washing scene! Thank you for taking time in sharing these thorough details. Judging from the previews and the number of remaining episodes, not sure if we still get to see that scene.
Only 4epis left after the exile. I just hope they don't rush things. I badly want a longer reconciliation process.I…
In Director Fei we trust. I love how we all trust Director Fei’s capabilities to give justice to the closure of this masterpiece especially to our main characters.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS DIRECTOR AND SCRIPT-WRITER.I could type a long detailed review of this epic piece, BUT:How…
Very well said! I like how they keep referencing back what has been said in the earlier episodes. There is no meaningless dialogue in this drama. It’s truly a masterpiece and one of a kind.
Episodes 43 and 44 were so good! I loved the conversation between Consort Yue and the Empress. It needed to happen…
They seem to read our minds and our worries for the Empress from previous episodes. They addressed it in Episode 43, giving the Empress and us viewers, a peace of mind.
I was so so relieved that LBY finds CSS so soon! But at the same time felt that the whole part was a bit rushed……
Agree on the bad sequence. At the start of episode 44, I was confused for a second. I had to go back to previous episode to see if I missed out any scenes bc I genuinely thought I accidentally fast forwarded the previous episode.
Why is Peng Kun rebelling again? It does not seem he has plans to take over the throne or something because Shouchun…
Good analysis. It definitely looks like Ling Yi has something to do with the rebellion. Ling Yi and Peng Kun could be Emperor Li’s supporters back then. Now I’m wondering if Emperor Li still has any descendants that could be colluding with Ling Yi. Actually, I was kind of expecting to see Wang Ling help CSS solve the mystery of Cheng Shi’s disappearance since CSS kind of helped her back then.
Even though he’s ruthless most of the times and sometimes reckless, but when it comes to his comrades, he is…
Agree. I have watched a lot of ancient Chinese dramas and most of the times, it’s like you said, “for love” the main male characters are willing to fight for someone no matter who dies for it. That’s why I felt the urge to praise LBY for being level headed and not sacrificing just anyone just because he can.
There is something I don’t quite understand. Hope someone can enlighten me.
Why is Peng Kun rebelling again? It does not seem he has plans to take over the throne or something because Shouchun looks quite far from the capital to me. It’s more like a suicide at this point.

They still managed to slip in comedy in such dire circumstances.
