Sorry not sorry, but Hong Ye is just as evil as his enemies and his evil brother. Maybe even worse, because he still believes he’s doing something righteous. His tragic past doesn’t justify his horrible behavior imo.
My gosh, if Huai Zhu could see what kind of person he turned into, she’d be rolling in her grave. Watching Love in the Pavilion after Sword and Beloved feels almost impossible, if one knows in what kind of person he turns into...
Just started this and I’m on ep. 4 now and absolutely loving the Mai You Ge and Xu Jun Le couple. Funny thing is, I originally started watching for Elvis, but that other couple totally stole my heart. They’re so soft, adorable, and just feel so real and authentic. Xu Jun Le has this specific kind of charm that’s hard to put into words. His gaze is so gentle and warm. Also really loving Amy Chen in this one!
Does Mr. Fei perhaps know that Fu Gui has someone in his residence caring for him? Because when Fu Gui went blind he made such a comment: "You're terrible at taking care of yourself. Now, with impaired vision, how are you going to take care of yourself in daily life?"
Sounds like he definitely knows that there is someone lol
Really subtle observation, but I loved how he asked her first if she wanted to be human instead of just turning her into one in that crucial situation. This couple is so soft. I love it 🥰
Honestly, of all the female warriors I’ve seen this year, Fu Yi Xiao felt the most real and badass. Li Qin ate that role up! I really hope she keeps getting more powerful roles like this, because she’s made for them!
You know what else I absolutely loved about this drama? The fair amount of protagonists dying lolIn most war or…
And they almost got me here too... when Lu Ke and Yun Fang were talking in ep. 34 about having a duel after everything was over. “It’s a deal!” That’s usually the classic death flag moment where you just know one of them (or both) won’t make it out alive. I literally rolled my eyes thinking, “Yup, here we go again.” But to my surprise… they didn’t kill either of them!!! I was so happily shocked I could’ve cried. 😭
You know what else I absolutely loved about this drama? The fair amount of protagonists dying lol In most war or revenge dramas, the writers just can’t resist killing off every single sidekick of the leads and I hate that!!! It’s often completely illogical, like they’re killing characters just for the sake of dramatic effect.
This is off and on topic: it was a couple of years ago that I found Kdramas. Somewhere along the crazy binge,…
Me kinda too… But I’ve been watching K-dramas for about 15 years, so when I first started C-dramas, it took me a bit to really get into them. But now? I still watch K-dramas, but C-dramas just hit differently for me. Lately, all my favorite dramas have been C-dramas! ❤️
Finally binge-watched all the final episodes… and wow!!! I loved it!!! This was so damn good! Exactly the kind of angst and action I live for! ❤️
Sure, not every twist and turn was my favorite, but you have to give it to the writers because there wasn’t a single dull moment. This drama kept me on edge from start to finish. 38 episodes packed with action, intrigue, tension, emotions, top-tier acting, insane fight scenes, gorgeous cinematography, tender romance, toxic romance, brotherhood and more. It had everything!
And honestly, I usually hate when dramas are filled with too many villains taking up the screen time. But here? Like 90% of the cast were antagonists, and somehow every single one of them was fascinating and layered. No brainless, one-note villains. They all had depth and personality.
And oh my gosh, the soft spot I developed for that toxic couple. I never expected to get so emotionally attached, but they really had me feeling everything. The writers truly outdid themselves. They made me pity them, root for them and hurt for them. I knew how it would end, but when it finally happened, it still hit hard. And the acting of toxic Jinxiu Emperor really made it even better. Absolutely phenomenal. That whole arc left such a strong impression on me!
I have to say, the writers didn’t give us a single half-baked character. Every role felt intentional and fully realized. The villains in this drama were next-level, some of the best I’ve seen in a long time. I loved the protagonists too, but honestly, when was the last time a show had this many amazing antagonists? I can’t even think of one.
This drama was such a wild, emotional, and entertaining ride. I had so much fun watching it. Just amazing! 🎉
So the Storm Alliance is also full of vengeful cray-cray people now? 😭 Like, why do they all suddenly want to kill their own leader? You seriously can’t trust anyone in this drama, especially not the writers, who were clearly on some wild stuff when they wrote this 😂
Don’t get me wrong, it’s still insanely entertaining to watch, but the whole “everyone has a revenge arc” thing is getting way out of hand lol They should honestly rename this drama to Fated Revenge.
Everyone’s betraying, killing, plotting… Good lord, the former Empress is already dead and doesn't witness those ridiculous people she left behind, but she most probably turning in her grave watching all of them lose their minds 😂
I cant stand the toxic behaviour of FL character... infatuated, narcissistic...it gets on my nerves... Wish to…
what the? Your talking about our Fu Yi Xiao? Her? Toxic? Bro, what are u on? There are dozen of great females in CDramas. Maybe try to watch dramas with your eyes open in the future :)
Am I the only one who actually likes Heo Nam Jun's acting in this drama? I read so many comments that his acting is bad in this... feels like I'm watching with completely different eyes 😂
I feel people are partly clouded due to hating his character. Because no way... his acting is bad? Or maybe I'm also just biased, because I don't hate JP lol I have no grudge or hate towards any of the characters. Well except the bad ones around JH of course.
His sparkly eyes during his confession gave me butterflies and his scene with his father at the grave was so great as well. But I especially love his scenes with YR, because they feel quite natural and he's much more expressive in those.
But well, everyone to their own. I'm actually glad I still enjoy this drama very much 😊
And I'm surprised at myself... do I actually start to like the princess? haha Her toxic story with psycho Emperor is actually soooo exciting to watch. Both Kingdoms really be living in soap-opera ✨Deluxe✨ 😂
