Ideally dramas aim for 30k heat index, but 26k is still good :)

PoJ had the makings of being a stellar drama, but it took a terrible nosedive the last half. This one is better than PoJ and I have confidence that this director and screenwriter will keep the quality until the end.

I think it’s a little different because Zhao Ling and Tingyun are engaged, so I think there’s a little more leniency with the rule. And as far as I am in the drama (ep. 12) they aren’t sharing a bedroom either in order to preserve her reputation as well. That’s at least how I see it.

Lady Yu wrote to Lady Zuo and basically set it up for her to go to Ganlin and cause trouble for the leads. It wasn’t a very long scene, but I think it happened after the salt case with the CP was completed and Lady Yu didn’t get any credit for it. After Zhao Ling decided to enlist in the military.

I managed to avoid spoilers so far, but I do want to thank you all for letting me know NOT to watch the next set of previews and then have to wait! 😬

I haven’t had a chance to watch today’s episodes yet, but I hope we actually get to see a pregnancy and birth with Tingyun and Zhao Ling in this drama! I wanna see babies and parenting.

It was set up by Lady Yu :/

I hope they bring that out in the drama!

Waaaaaaaiiiitttt— so you mean that ZL isn’t actually a normal guy?

Episode 12 is 😭 so so good

Huh. I wonder what the screenwriter meant by that 🤔 And I love the idea of him retiring in the end. I kinda don’t want to see him have to conform at the end. I like his rough edges and his awkwardness.

Yuuuuuup. UGH 😑That whole family needs to go

Lady Yu probably set it up 😡

As long as he gets scenes other than being in court I’ll happy :)

I haven’t been this obsessed with a drama since PoJ, and hopefully this one won’t be a massive letdown like the last half like that one was.

I am actually not super thrilled about the capital arc and ZL as an official. I am actually really loving him being able to draw on his knowledge of the salt industry as well as his experience with the martial arts. When he does start wearing the clothing of the officials, I really hope that he still gets to keep doing cool stuff. I don’t want the drama to become ALL about palace politics and court stuff.

The irony of an actual hater complaining about it being hard to have character 🤣

This post is low quality stuff 😂

The ML is not around a ton in the first few episodes, but give it until episode 4 or so and he’ll be around regularly

The teaser they gave us was so mean 😡

Oh yeaaaahhh that’s right - I forgot about that.
