Even though it might ruin her character trait of being willing to sacrifice anything for revenge, I honestly hope…
I remember in Blossoms of Power, Qu Qingzi before she was reincarnated as Shen Xin he, she was the wife of the 5th Prince Xiao Changqing, she was kept her purity due to her weak physique until she eventually committed suicide. Their marriage was strictly political, even though her husband’s love for her was completely unrequited. I really hope they can change it slightly like that in the drama.
everyone starts getting big projects from one point. though I wish this was directed by an experienced director…
Honestly, I was hoping for a director with more experience in historical and action dramas, since the novel features a lot of warfare. Directors like Zeng Qijie (Pursuit of Jade, Blossom), Fei Zhenxiang (Love Like the Galaxy), and Chu Yui bun (The Long Ballad) are among the experienced ones. However, the production team seems to have their own judgment, and I just hope this will meet expectations and be well executed in the drama.
The director is not much good man and people complain about his story of direction Tho it probably might his first…
Yeah same thought, I once left a comment saying that the director is inexperienced... I looked into the director's profile and noticed most of his works are modern romances. He's definitely new to historical dramas, which is a bit concerning given the heavy fight and war scenes in this one. To make it even riskier, this is likely his first S+ scale project.
I just hope his appointment works out well since I really love the novel. ZLH and Jelly Lin are definitely another huge draw for me.
Seeing the debate about So Luowei's character, I want to ask you all...Do you guys hope they will change it in…
Even though it might ruin her character trait of being willing to sacrifice anything for revenge, I honestly hope the drama tweaks it a bit. I wish they'd make her keep her purity by using excuses like having a weak body or suffering from cold illness, just like in most dramas.
After Mido and Taesung kissed, I was shipping Namgung and Su A so bad. I thought Namgung would crack first, but surprisingly, Mido was the one who wavered and just accepted the kiss. Namgung deserves so much better.
I Just found out from the writer's profile that she is the creator of Full House, and her last project was back in 2005? Seems like she took a really long break.
Can someone recommend me some crazy Xianxia dramas??????
Love Between Fairy and Devil is one of the best xianxia dramas out there, and so many people would definitely recommend it. I checked your list and it looks like you haven't watched it yet. Plus, when else are you going to see Dylan Wang, Esther Yu, and Zhang Linghe all in one drama!!!!
to any novel readers is the romance dynamic in this one sided? like zlh other upcoming drama road to glory in…
Based on the novel, the romance dynamic in Revenge is not one sided. Unlike Road to Glory, which focuses on one sided sacrifice, the main lead in Revenge share a deep connection rooted in their childhood. They are childhood sweethearts who were separated by tragedy. The conflict arises not from a lack of love, but from political misunderstandings that lead them to temporarily suspect each other.
I also read The Road to Glory novel, and the character Wen Yu does indeed come across as selfish due to her obsession with revenge and throne, which only ends up hurting Xiao Li. However, looking at the Reuters, it seems they changed it for the drama the kiss scene happens much earlier while Wen Yu is still under disguise.
They are both scheming-schemers. Neither telling the whole truth. But in the novel, both are still idealistic…
Girl... you're misunderstanding the plot. There is no cheating involved. She genuinely thinks her lover Song Lin is dead, Song Lan is Song Lin's beloved younger brother, His political footing in the palace is extremely weak. which is why she marries Song Lan to help him secure the throne and stabilize the imperial court. She's completely clueless that Song Lan is the perpetrator. Song Lan is such a skilled manipulator in the story, that’s exactly why Su Luowei never once suspected him.
She essentially uses her position to gain power and investigate the Ci Tang tragedy. Once the truth is out, she plans her revenge and allies with Ye Tingyan unaware he is actually Song Lin in disguise.
The story is driven by massive misunderstandings until they finally reveal their real motives to each other and take down Song Lan together. That’s the core plot. As I mentioned before, this is a classic dark romance, so this genre might just not be for you.

Ah, I get it now! You really don’t like this kind of heavy angst stories, huh? 😅 Honestly, this is a classic dark romance. I even left a comment before, wishing they’d tweak it a bit in the drama adaptation.
Her character is genuinely the one who suffers the most in the entire story even more than Song Lin. She is willing to do absolutely anything to avenge her lover, even if it means sacrificing her virtue to the enemy just to ensure her plan succeeds. if they completely cut this plot line, we will lose the depiction of a fiercely strong empress who is ready to do anything for her revenge.

Girl...even if they keep it, there's no way they'll show it in the drama. NRTA censorship is super strict about these types of scenes. And just like @Huanglin__ said, most dramas don't adapt the novel 100% that’s why they hire screenwriters. Also, it's true about CP culture. The CP culture in China is massive and aggressive. Viewers and die hard fans are extremely protective of the Main CP. Production teams are always walking on eggshells to avoid triggering censorship issues or agency fan wars that only cause financial losses.
I don't want this -__-she getting hate just because these people cant tweak the story a bit
Which Reuters are you talking about? I closely follow their updates almost 24/7. In the latest Reuters, they are seen together in the snow, likely right after Su Luowei escaped from the palace after finding out about Ye Tingyan's real identity.

I just hope his appointment works out well since I really love the novel. ZLH and Jelly Lin are definitely another huge draw for me.
