In the end, Mr. Truth played a politician favorite line, go along with the cover-up as the truth will destabilize the nation. Sacrificed a minority to let the majority live in peace. No wonder the king see him as the future PM.
The emperor recognizing his mistake in front of the battle, it was a turning point. The desperate soldier, Ruo…
The eunuchs wanted Langya to be their pawn, as they will be the master behind the throne. As Lord Chu had said if there were discrepancies, on Lord Langya trial this should had been brought to the court or on the day the name was announced before any coronation.
What attracted me to this drama was the interesting question on how did the concubine escape from being entombed with the dead emperor? FL was putting a facade of accepting her fate but at back of her mind was planning an escape. However since this is a Dylan Wang drama, in came the ML. Have to look at other drama in which the FL rely only on her ingenuity and smartness.
LWJ knows how to make an entrance; kaboom đź’Ą! Though no fight scenes really here, that whole exchange btwn XS,…
Reminded of that epic scene of "Nirvana on Fire" when the ML confronted his maternal uncle, the emperor, on the killing of his father,a general (emperor's brother-in law) and his cousin,the crown prince.
Most have commented on Wan Wan relationship with LX but she had made her let go from that 2nd rated best friend and boyfriend to have a 1st rated bestie and lover in Gu Qiao and Ren Chu. She helped find the missing LX as she was not harden from that bitter experience and still possessing her innate kindness and understanding self ( good Dr. traits) As for her relationship with Ren Chu, she was at that stage of “once bitten, twice shy” where she had to tread cautiously as she and everyone had assumed AJJ was on to her but dating someone else behind her back. Thank you Tian Xi Wei for her 2 feelgood dramas this year of growth while still retaining inborn goodness. Wishing her a meteorite rising like another cute actress, Zhao LuSi, whose drama after drama aired one after another within a short gap.
I like this feel good drama and wished it was rated higher. I like dramas that don’t’ ram down its massage down one’s throat. Learning from other people mistake, Wan Wan directly told Guan Ai that she like Ren Chu and would fight fairly unlike Liang Xia type of “all fair in love and war”. That type of victory is not sweet, as Liang Xia and An Jian Jia broke up like the ending OST “unconsciously” (favorite list) found that their love is not that sweet.
