I finally found the 7-step poem again, in ep4. YZ teaches it to CY in despair after trying to get her to memorize…
Ohh it's the poem written by Cao Zhi for his brother emperor Cao Pi who was going to kill him after the 7 steps if he didn't get a good poem within that time as an excuse. The poem made him emotional and he decided not to kill his brother. Although it didn't quite match Changyu's situation😂
Objectively, how good is this drama? I haven't started watching yet, but the rating is so high I'm really considering…
Me!✋️ I wasn't following this drama nor the leads and only started watching because I had some time. Didn't expect to get roped in right away. The first thing that caught me was the cinematography, it looked straight out of a painting, so beautiful! The visuals are stunning and the roles are refreshing. They avoid a lot of annoying character tropes and the characters (both male and female) individually are very capable and aren't afraid of standing up for themselves. You can't blackmail them into self sacrificing like most other good main characters, they know their rights and are not a pushover. So that was a big plus for me.
There's an interconnected overlying mystery which we slowly head towards while walking alongside our seemingly simple but strong (both physically and mentally) fml, who picked up a very much not simple partner one morning in the snow. The relationships between the pairs develop very naturally and they grow very protective of each other. The supporting characters aren't obnoxious and they are well placed within the story’s framework, some of them are extremely compelling even. I'm looking forward to how the reveals happen and how the political aspects are handled because right now we are still at the beginning and only the pieces have been placed on the board. I'd say give it a try and see for yourself what you think.
I really feel like the episodes are getting better and better. Loved ep12 and loving 13 too, it's getting so interesting that I'm starting to feel impatient😭 How will I handle one episode a day when it gets into the big events!
I'm glad we as the audience can feel it. Most times they make this behavior feel romantic, or only show that the…
Exactly. There's this unsettling and intense atmosphere and you can really feel her reactions even without knowing their backstory. Actually all of Qi Min's scenes felt really tense. That conversation with Yan Zheng was 👌👏 chef's kiss, I was at the edge of my seat. The actor is doing so well.
Qi Min and Qianqians story has me all invested hook, line and sinker. I don't know how he's doing it but you can really feel that sense of dread qianqian is feeling. He's so possessive, ruthless and always quietly hovering that it's inducing a strange feeling of suffocation.
