Fun fact: both of sons were the emperor in the long ballad drama. prince Tan is the father of li chang ge (dilireba),…
I'm a fair watcher. I never rate any drama till I finish to watch all eps. In this drama, there were eps I've rated 9, but when I get bored, it's normal to rate the ep 1. Btw, how do you know my rating?

It isn't true. Taizong (Li Shimin) in Long Ballad (and in history) never had sons named Tan or Ying, or having the titles "prince of Tan" and "prince of Ying". Before talking nonsense, check the facts. The conflict between these two princes is totally fictious, as is the 99% of this drama and, although the production hired some experts to make the props more believable, it still remains... just another costume idol drama
Finally we have an interesting and quite original story... Characters feel realistic, dialogues are fine (although not always fluently translated), scenes are well organised and paced, too. It's strange to watch a C-drama I have practically nothing to complaint about. 😂
A stone quarry that looks like a mine, full of tunnels adorned with scented insect repellents, international trade deal based on the sale of those scented sachets, a "baby" kicking (fetus without limbs) one month from conception... I understand the production's need to stretch the story which reached its climax at ep 24 to 32 eps, but this bunch of nonsense in just one episode is pretty annoying...
I haven't read the book. You are right about undying flowers, Memorable Leitmotiv of FL's resistence and why he fell for her. Glad we both think higly of the actors professional skills. Wu Jin Yan is also (above average) capable actress imho
I agree with your opinion, too. Princess Agents had flows, but had so many memorable scenes (neither I will ever forget that human hunting opening, fight with wolves, death of curly girl, insane training with arrows and advance in slave-carrier, the ballet-like fight, the streap fight in the bath pool that finished in bed, killing of evil uncle Yuwen, SML initial humour, pain and transformation, king's hypocrisy... whole that cruel world). Its main flow was - it was too long, so too many people were cast and with such a huge crew it was inevitable that acting of some supporting actors was not up to the level, too many subplots, not all of them equally enganging or exciting with the result: viewers' emotions switching on and off and sometimes even tired and unconvinced, but overall always wanting to see more of that story. That's probably the reason why TLSL plot was (even too much) simple (a flow of opposite sign) but the fans at least seen Yuwen Yue dragged out of the lake and in company of Chu Qiao (I even remember their names). From KMLM I'll probably remember the most original villain (without spoiling, we sense a Greek tragedy in heart of this twisted mind character towards the end) and the best emperor I've seen in C-drama. The story itself is not among those shining high above others, but I'd certainly recomend it, it's better than anything else airing right now. As for Liu Xue Yi, whoever watched The Blood of Youth, knows this actor can play anything, not like many others who know to play only in their comfort zone roles. And this capacity is visible in this role, too
At this point, MJH deserves a bit of grilling and love pain... Use a poison having no antidote next time, too, stupid! That cunning YQ would not easily give up the idea to keep ML by his side, he takes ML to trade talks on purpose, to make you suffer and give up on her.
I'm not a Mandarin speaker, but I've researched the word 帮派 used by the ML's sidekick at the beginning of…
Please, don't say such a thing... 🫠 People can express themselves in different ways, use different idioms, being different is human after all, but humans are behaviourly all the same, and this fact helps tanslators, linguists, historians, anthropologists...
Was there a time jump? How long? Does XiyanGreenTeaPrince know where her heart is?
I think of a simplier outcome. She made a prenuptial deal with Hiyan GreenTea CP. She will be his CPrincess and that Moon Kunlun whatever his father believed in (as to obtain immortality), until his father dies. Then, they will arrange a mise en scene faking her death and be free... It's true that he likes her, but that liking is because he's in debt with her, he doesn't know her at all. In this drama, he was depicted as smart and patient person, not inclined to obsessions, so, based on these outlines, I think he would accept a deal like that. Other possibility is -GreenTea CP dies. In Hiyan, beside his father, the most weird personality is that fake priestess. They are allied now, for the purpose to deceive an idiot ruler, but the priestess will be in very tough position if the Moon and Sun Kunlun story she spread doesn't work and may be tempted to take the power on her own. Mei Lin fakes her death to save her own skin. Or, if GreenTea does not have any deal with ML, ML can always strike a deal with that priestess.

But the storyline has been redundant for several episodes now, I'm terribly bored
