Getting on your nerves because she is acting like someone who's husband was executed for treason? Lol
Lol, look at any Chinese revenge drama and 8 years ain't long. Also 8 years ago, yet the people of the Ding Mansion have not stopped suffering to this day. Ye Li says it herself.
it's because not many are rating the aired episodes and there are others downvoting the unaired episodes.
I just saw that. People have too much time. I hope one day there will be a MDL version where it's not even possible for users to rate unreleased episodes or pretend they completed an incomplete drama.
Hate to say this, but the romance scenes are actually annoying me. They spend WAY too much time together for unmarried…
Agreed. It's like two different dramas are happening simultaneously. I think the main couple is cute, but to just ignore the political setting makes this quite unsatisfying to watch. At this point I expect them to be kept apart more by whatever happened in the burning village than anyone or anything else.
Pardon my shallow understanding. So Liu He Mo need human blood to be successfully formulated? Is it only 1 piece…
Unclear. The sword comparison doesn't hold because blood is used so differently there.
From the amount eight grandfather dropped into the mixture, it seems as if blood is needed as additional "glue". That doesn't mean human blood. Any blood will do. But Zhen talks as if his offering of blood had a more symbolic meaning after all.
the screenwriter should have done a better job. It looks like there are no one in the drama except the main characters.…
To put "very young" into some more context, the emperor is six years old. It's completely normal he would follow her like a duckling because he is one.
I really think Ronghua and Chen's arc would be great if it were less focused on Benchang. The drama did really great both in terms of family conflict and women's roles in this historical society. Benchang is just cartoonishly evil, which would be fine, if he weren't so mindboggingly successful too.
thoughts so far:● I did not expect this much chemistry in just 4 episodes holy shit 😂😂 mind boggling levels…
A new skirmish broke out the second her dad received the news that she is now the grand princess. There's probably not enough budget to show the battlefield.
I feel like a lot more 2026 dramas have audio/voice recording issues than 2025's. It's not the worst flaw but it makes some scenes less good than they should be.
I could not agree more! I think that we are so used to ML who are aura farming that anything different can feel…
Aura farming is such a fitting word for it! Luo Wen Qian feels very human, which fits well with the story ultimately being about family and family heritage. I haven't caught up to the released episodes yet and even then we're still a bit away from the ending, so I'm curious if his revenge story might include a moral about revenge we don't usually see in historical dramas.
It's nice to see the ML fail and actually not just magically have endless resources. Alas, I would have liked him to run his business a little smarter from the beginning. But I guess he has only been a merchant for three years.
