It's possible to be thin and healthy. I like how she looked in the drama :)
(I'm naturally skinny probably skinnier than her, so I always feel awkward when people use terms like "anorexic" when I most certainly am not. I've just been like a beanpole all my life :D )

Now if only the rest of the world would follow suit

I figured the maid had to be an undercover officer, but I thought she'd be Guan Xue's plant.

Not sure what Director Jin's playing at or where his loyalties lie. His behavior towards Guan Xue also confuses me. Sometime he seem to care about her (almost like a daughter) and other times he comes off as unfeeling.

They seem to have changed it now. The earlier one was more mournful (that's the one I'm looking for)

Neither the logic stretches nor the torture scenes are the actors' domain though. That would be scriptwriter and director.

Does anyone know whether/where international audiences can watch this?

Does anyone know the soundtrack for the closing sequence? ("Dawn" doesn't seem to be the one)

About the hug, I'm wondering whether he sees through her actions or thinks it might be a setup. Maybe I'm overthinking. This drama makes you overthink everything!

I hope Xie Yue doesn't suffer because of Guan Xue or Song Zhuowen. She's an innocent student who got caught up in this just because of defending herself against an attack.

I felt so bad for her in in that scene, when she was crying. She looked so sad and vulnerable

Maybe it's as you said.. they found an actor so suitable for the part that they didn't want to give him up :D

Not big on ancient/fantasy costume dramas tbh, but will try :)

As a random thought, the description of Guan Xue doesn't seem all that accurate. If she was truly cold-blooded and cruel, she would have run over that deputy as per Asano's orders (don't remember which ep). She instead braked and reduced the impact, and was reprimanded for it. I don't know if this is also deliberate on her part (as part of some Plan) or whether she just didn't want to do it.

I'm at the same point (finished ep22).
I'm very confused about why Guan Xue wanted Xie Yue to seduce Zhuowen and then sort of seems to flirt with him herself. I hope whatever trick she's playing doesn't backfire.

She's the reason I'm watching this at all! I wasn't a YM fan before (as in, I hadn't watched much of her work), but love her in this

After ep11, I'm not sure whether Mr. Jin has her best interests at heart. I feel like he might be pushing her to reach his (or her previous) aspirations, even if she suffers in the process.

Would it be so bad for her to forget the past and forge a new path?

How is this rated 13+? Some of the violence is too much even for an adult!
(I'm enjoying the drama, but would enjoy it much more if the more gruesome scenes weren't there... Even if they are realistic, I'd rather not see them)

I don't think we should hope for too much. I have a bad feeling it will be a tragic ending (though I am hoping not)
