Yes, but, this is a drama with a modern sensibility, not historically accurate Han Era China. There is some truth…
I agree, but there is a difference btw modern sensibility and modern standards. This drama may not be the most accurate true to era Han dynasty drama but it incorporates the essence of that culture, which are universal and immortal like family values, patriotism, hierarchy and female struggles. Nevertheless, this remains a different culture and a different time... And we should take this into consideration
Some comments below are harsh if not sickening... Judging a teenager in ancient times based on their adult western experiences. Imagine how are these people in real life.
Friendly reminder (AGAIN): STOP judging an ANCIENT HISTORICAL CHINESE/ASIAN drama based on your own MODERN-DAY WESTERN standards.... Keep in mind, this is a totally different TIME & CULTURE. Mind the context people, context!
Now that third aunt, CSS first mother figure is unfortunately out of the picture... Can we have the empress adopting CSS or taking her under her wings and guiding/educating her? Her eyes were full of adoration, compassion and pity towards CSS.... just what CSS needs right now.
For people who are STILL criticizing CSS behaviour I shall remind you all that she is only 15 for heaven's sake. She was abandoned by her parents since infancy, abused by her aunt and grandma, never received proper education, and was humiliated and belittled by her peers. GIVE MY GIRL A BREAK, she is still a work in progress
Are we talking abt incest here? I don't think so.And forsaking your wife and only child for a woman is more than…
The one that went missing is LBY and his own mother. His mother is the sister of general Huo. So this makes LBY general's Huo nephew and not his real son
CSS and her father, LBY and the emperor are simply comedy gold. Truly, a match made in heaven ... When CSS and the dad visited LBY in his residence, I was ROFL.
Yuan Shen reminds me of one of those mean kindergarten boys who bullies the little girl he likes thinking he will get her attention... But all that he gets is disdain. Talking abt the boomerang effect.
Imagine how are these people in real life.
