I saw a video made by some fans. SYQ was walking in front of some female fans and they call him and tell him he's a bad boy to which he replies "I'm going to get my trousers taken off". The female fans are flabbergasted since they don't know how to process his reply. Watching episode 25, it all makes sense now 🤣🤣🤣
They could have done something like the Peony drama did last year - sorry the title eludes meBut then again, maybe…
Flourished Peony/In the Name of Blossom came out last year. First part in Jan, second part in June. But splitting the drama like this does lead to losing momentum and interest.
This is the first time I felt the time constraints of 40 episodes affect the story. This episode’s story felt…
1. She threatened to kill the hostage if they didn't let them go. The soldiers went to inform the marquis. And as someone mentioned in another comment, the general who let her in knows that FCY is the marquis' wife and would not have attacked her once she put the knife to SYQ's throat.
2. If the marquis is not present, the enemy have a chance to get back SYQ and the supplies since the marquis' troops are missing their leader.
3. They didn't exchange SYQ. The bartered his life/heirs for food. When the attack happened, they withdrew with the food and the hostage
The characters need to be flawed in order for the story to be engaging and their actions (mistakes or not) need…
The script is already amazing, each action has consequences like a butterfly effect. If the FL wouldn't have taken pity on a stranger half frozen to death, they would have lost the war. She forgave granny Kang, so granny Kang protected Changning. She spared the life of little Sui when the rebellion happened, so he took revenge on her village. Qi Min's nanny took the boy away and was killed, but in doing so he was saved from drowning when the dam broke.
Two kinds of viewers are really infuriating😭 One is those who can’t tell the difference between their favorite…
The characters need to be flawed in order for the story to be engaging and their actions (mistakes or not) need to have consequences. Otherwise everyone would complain that the leads are Mary Sues with plot armour.
The screenwriter was great at building up characters and storyline that I agree with others needing more that…

It's because we are not accustomed and exposed very much to other cultures.
Roman Centurion helmets are ridiculous too, so are tricorn hats worn in the 18th century in Europe and many others. But due to repeated exposure in our media, they were "normalised" and became "acceptable" to western viewers.
