Perhaps this time it feels more noticeable because I'm so invested in this drama. So when I fully immerse myself in the story, paying all this attention to the language, tones and all, and when it came to this part, I'm like, huh..? That's not how it should mean.

Well based on the novel, Li Huai An character can't be said good or bad, after all black and white are not the only colors. From his perspective he's doing all that for the good of the country (says all villains ever) as he believes his grandpa's views (if I'm not mistaken, his grandpa is the Grand Tutor). And he believes some sacrifices are necessary for their goal.. as long as the sacrifices are not their family or their interest..

Sameee!! I also only have Netflix subscription. Now I for sure will check out iqiyi version!

Haha I salute your dedication for checking all 3 platforms 😂 btw, thank you. I will for sure check iqiyi version..

That's so disappointing. Somehow it feels like it takes away the immersive feeling when watching C-dramas.

What a shame. I know that in Australia we often address elders simply by their names, and perhaps the platforms are trying to cater to English-speaking audiences. Still, it feels strange to apply that to C-dramas especially considering how central honorifics and respect for elders are in Chinese culture, particularly in historical settings 🤔

Does anyone know which platform has the best english subtitles? Iqiyi, WeTV or Netflix? Currently watching on Netflix, but I don't like how they translate 'Jiejie' as 'Chang Yu'. So Iqiyi or WeTV? I'm ready to subscribe either one! 😆
