which is why we have to accompany them while watching!!! point out the danger spots and discuss it with them afterwards! it’s still a great masterpiece to me.

number 10 hits home hard!! 😭😭he knows he’s inspiring us to do better!!

but no 7 is just too funny!! he’s admitting he feels roasted by us but he knows we’re there for him.. such a fun dynamic!! He’s so adorable 🤭😭 only very close people/ family can feel that way about each other!

really.. the way he writes it in Chinese is hilarious, he must be a comedian

He deserves to be there! Our All-rounder Hexagonal Warrior! Talented, Diligent, Kind, Inspirational 🙌🏻❤️ Wishing for more International exposure for him!

I watched it already, and I enjoyed it too! Gave it a high rating too. but it’s just a matter of preference. I prefer this drama over Pursuit of Jade. 😂I didn’t say kissing was explicit, but sometimes some dramas can be without explicit scenes and still be great.

it's a Shenzhen slang, I think it's like calling "babe"

He totally kissed her with his eyes! His gaze killed me!!

hmmm.. maybe because of cultural differences or maybe cause we're so used to seeing hollywood movies.. I feel like you're missing the point. In China, and several other parts of the world, there's this thing about "Restraint" and Love. This makes it that much more elegant and beautiful. The ML becomes like a Guiding lover, doesn't force her to grow up, but lets her bloom in her own time while quietly supporting her from behind. If the world had more parents and partners like that, it would be amazing!

Oh sorry I misread... Really? I thought the FL was so cute and loving!! She's the little sunshine that thawed his heart!! He was so keen on his mission, it made it harder for him towards the end because she was so kind to him!

No please, the world deserves to have more beautiful art without explicit scenes. Let the haters leave, we love this as it is.

There are many love languages in the world, and "physical touch" is just one of them. This drama explores love in a sense of a "Guiding Lover", quietly supporting each other, being there for each other. I guess more like "acts of service" & "quality time". I think the lack of intimate scenes elevates the drama to make it that much more elegant.

A lack of physically intimate scenes would disappoint some viewers, but will allow more general public to view it, and to discuss more grander themes without detracting the focus. If I had a teen, I would definitely invite them to watch this together with me and discuss what healthy relationships should be, talk about politics and visions of their own life missions.

The staged betrayal made it so the public opinion became pro-war. They literally could not fight because of a peace treaty. The An-Lu case was already being widely discussed, but after knowing that BeiQin literally planted spies to incite the fall of their Kingdom enraged the public. XWY cannot be the one to start the war, Li Mao needed the credit to be a ruler accepted by the public too.

On the other hand XWY being kidnapped by Eagle King made the emperor of BeiQin restless because he was afraid they would join hands and topple him. Thus resulting in the Bei Qin army coming in and attacking them at Dingfeng Slope. They won an outstanding 40.000 troops vs 100.000 troops battle.

In the final episode, it was explained that even after that war, even with no peace treaty, for 3 years both sides did not really fight large-scale wars, just guarding borders. BeiQin had internal political problems, so Nanye just ended up focused on fixing the canals (led by XWY's brother) and preparing for the next war. The little emperor of BeiQin died, they had a lot of infighting, so Li Mao wanted to reclaim the capital next.

she's actually not bad... if you compare her to the ML and senior actors then yes she has more to go, but she is actually quite an experienced actress, she's been acting since she was a child! I think it serves the plot well because she's serving as us most of the time, her ambiguous reactions makes it harder to guess. Which makes the suspense for us more intense!

me too 😭 I'm on to my 7th rewatch...

confirmed HE!!!

in this drama, the ML had bad rumours and reputation, and he was tired of rectifying them, but he was not coldhearted at all towards her. If you want to see the ML being clingy to a strong FL you can watch "Glory" it's the ML's previous drama.

his hair started out wavy, unruly and unkempt, then became gradually straighter and straighter towards the end. the actor said it was like a countdown. but the audience said it's because his hair was wavy because he was in war and didn't have time to take care of it; then he stopped perming it in the capital hahaha.

😭😭 the withdrawal is real, even though I didn’t even attend any concerts in person…
can’t wait for his new songs to be recorded! 😭😭 I need to loop them on repeat

it’s that ace student that everyone can’t help be proud of, you know when you give him advice, he’ll fix it gracefully and doesn’t take it personally. I felt so happy that all the seniors just dote and protect him in the Treasured voice!! He should join these sort of variety shows more often!

Yes! It’s a very soulful song and he keeps singing it better and better! It has a very broad range and it’s a great technical display of his vocals. Not everyone can sing his version well. Even the writer said HMH’s version is too high for him. I’ve pasted the Spotify and Youtube link below
