Ya she is bloody irritating. Her crocodile tears, smug and delusion. Saw previews of 19 and 20 on Weibo. She is…
I couldn't bring myself to hate her because she is just so desperate but boy is she pushing my limits. I can understand her targeting Shi Yi and even trying to kill the little boy because they are obstacles to her desired wish - so that she can be the main wife. But harming Da Niang who is pregnant is just cruel. I will see how it goes, maybe its an accident and she just shifts the blame to Shi Yi because she is a constant opportunist.
Side note - she probably doesn't realize that even if his son and wife died the Marquis would never take her in/favor her because she so fake and he sees it
i think in china the ratings are really low bc of a scene with a chinese guy in the first episode. but it's ridiculous
I am just guessing here but I think that Chinese citizens would not like that the only Chinese character presented is one who: 1- is building a vault to hide his gold, 2 - chooses to put said vault in Korea as opposed to his home country 3- presumably his doing that to either avoid paying taxes on his wealth or to hide ill gotten gains (either behavior would be seen in a less than positive light), 4- then when the Chinese character dies here comes this foreigner taking advantage of that, 5 - the character was referred by Vicenzo father, the Don in a mafia family..... all of that in a scene that wasn't even 5 mins long.
Just watched ep 15-16, wow! So much is packed in ep 15. Yeah Daddi Tang makes his appearance in ep 15. I wonder…
I am also curios about what shenanigans she was referred but I don't think that it was poisoning the first wife. NVM, I just further rethought it and considering how favoured she is by the MIL she would be visiting often. While I don't think the MIL was part of the scheme to get rid of the first wife (she doesn't strike me as evil she just indulges Qiao who is evil). It wouldn't take alot for one of those visits to get a person in the household that she could influence to do the poisoning.
ratings gonna drop after 20-28arc hmm what a wasted opportunity some drama have great start but they fail flat…
Am thinking that the bandit's sponsor is the major villian in the palace. There is no better way to stop an army from going to war in another country than if there is insecurity in your backyard. I see that, but I still think this arc is boring.
I know, I just wanted to rub it in a little more. I don't like that I want bad people to suffer when they do bad things but I do- Its kind of gratifying to see these fictional characters get their richly deserved comeuppance but I know it not a good trait.
has seen Wallace in other dramas where he's much more expressive than here. Besides period look not befitting…
He never smiles at home. He only has light moments when he is teasing his deputy general or that errand boy of his. It kind of seems like he carries the weight of his family and the people on his shoulders and the people at home don't relieve his stress instead they add to it.
I am not really buying He Hong Shan's acting as the evil concubine Qian. Something feels off about her portrayal. She keeps giving me the impression that she is a child throwing a tantrum because she has not got the toy that she want but now she is getting more dangerous because she has been left unchecked.
It must have been hard for his first wife to stay neutral considering how many vipers are at the manor.
I don't think she did stay neutral - the scheme to bring Qian in as a concubine was too well executed for me to believe she stayed neutral. Besides with a mother like that, no way she doesn't know the tricks. And having seen how Qian behaves I believe that the first wife was warranted in her concern especially in not trusting that her husband would be able to hold off their schemes and protect her son. In the earlier episodes I wasn't a massive fan of that scheme but then I was left asking myself what would I do in her situation if I knew I only had limited time.

Other than that its ok! Not terrible but not great.
1- is building a vault to hide his gold,
2 - chooses to put said vault in Korea as opposed to his home country
3- presumably his doing that to either avoid paying taxes on his wealth or to hide ill gotten gains (either behavior would be seen in a less than positive light),
4- then when the Chinese character dies here comes this foreigner taking advantage of that,
