There is a legal way of looking at things, and a there is a moral way of looking at things.
To say he didn't rape because he has "every right to do whatever he wants" ... that's the legal perspective only, not the moral perspective.
Since heads of state are considered role models for the rest of society, I don't know that it should even be considered as acceptable from a legal perspective, since doing so then has follow-on consequences as to how other men treat their wives.
Further, to say "she asks for it" due to whatever behaviour on her part, is not an acceptable excuse. As I've said before, deliberately provocative behaviour is no excuse for an unreasonable response.
That said, from the sake of the drama/plot, I can understand why the character acts this way and can put up with such a character being portrayed. Not every character depicted has to be moral, or 'good'. But it is truly disturbing to have people actively defend this fictional character with such sentences as "he has every right", and "she asks for it".
I agree with you But I have grown seed of suspicion for Tilan as well. She clearly not happy with her life with…
I had a friend in high school who once had to take the morning after pill. Was crook as a dog. If even modern 'morning after' meds are that heavy on the body, I can only imagine the toxicity (or otherwise the efficacy) of such drugs in an ancient setting. Especially if taken on practically a daily basis.
Besides, in the weighting of the concern over a woman's health compared to the concern for the family line ... I'm pretty sure the woman's health would not rate much of a mention.
As to why she was crying over the recuperative medicine ... it wouldn't be the first time she has been suicidal.
Ep:22 that little brother what do you guys think? I think he’s playing drama in the drama 🤣
Was wondering if asking to find their other relatives might've been what Chang had planned to be the next step for if he had ever become suspected by the emperor.
An escalation of some sort. Or perhaps a way of alerting his external allies of his status within the palace.
Thoughts on ep 21-22Tilan and Emperor: honeslty toxic and sick. Doing it with her nearly every night then making…
I kinda wondered whether General Tang going to have a look-see at Tilan was a diversionary tactic.
I don't doubt that he has some feeling for her, but I just think ... what if he really was meeting with Chang, but when he passed by Haishi he knew it was too much of a risk, that the possibility of Haishi noticing him having passed by put their (possible) conspiracy at risk ... and him instead spying on Tilan would've been a believable cover story to explain his presence.
i think she was drugged - remember that she drank a bowl of water?
Aaah. Yeah maybe that's it.
So then why the cloth over her eyes? I thought perhaps she had identified a reaction to something and the cloth was to stop her seeing it so she wouldn't get dizzy. If it was a drug she'd still be dizzy even with the cloth.
lol @ Haishi - every superhero needs a big flaw. Can't be the height of the cliff as she had no problem serving in the Pass. I'd think maybe it's water, but she had no trouble walking on the beach. Can't think what of what it was that made her dizzy...
...the clip that has me most intrigued is the one right at the end with him in red, with his chambers decorated in red, sitting alone at what seems to be a banquet table. And right before this clip starts to show there is a single close up of a tear dropping from his reddened eye.
I absolutely hate the voice dubbing, i wonder why they use it at all
I've heard the ML's actual voice. Trust me. He needs the dubbing ^^. Also, a youtuber called AvenueX mentioned that his cantonese accent IRL is also a bit too much to be in the drama.

... if none of these hardships existed, would there be story to tell?

She truly is a prisoner of her birth.
There are some who think she's a scheming character, but I'm not one of them.

So what do you think? Is the production team messing with us?

Before watching the sun rise, do you need to watch the moon set?
Edit: Not having a go at you, Joni. It's just the question has been posed more than once or twice before.
