TheMoonEmpress

Yeah that was satisfying to be sure but the rest was just uncomfortable. I've seen hand touches and even almost touches that are shot more sensually than that bumbling scene lol (like in bridgerton season 2 or even Pride and Prejudice movie). Hope the director doesn't do anything like that again in the drama.

Yeah , if they really wanted to go there, I wish they had fully committed to the the scene and thrown a few closeups in there as well 😂

I agree, costume and styling are the best thing about this drama for me.

Hehe I'm tempted to do that tomorrow and see if anyone takes me seriously. If you have to keep announcing your empress fate then girl, you're a long way from being an empress lol

This is a question I've been asking myself too. They turn the smart button on and off for both our MCs

It's an intimidation tactic to make her feel flustered and imbalanced

I'm not sure they love each other yet. At most they're beginning to thaw around each other, which is how it should be . If they had fallen in love so quickly, it would not have been believable.

We love a hypocrite queen 👌🏽😅

I'm also struggling with her breathy voice, especially since everyone else is speaking normally. But I powered through my journey to you which had the same problem, so I'm sure I can do so now as well. At least in that drama, everyone was whispering lmao

Tbh even that shot of him getting out of the tub was unsatisfactory....it was soooo short lmao. Not even one full second 😅🥲

If anything, she is the one scheming behind his back, both in case of Boya and when she learned he attacked a neighbouring territory, she told her cousin to build a secret tunnel there for Qiao family's benefit! That is the height of scheming and plotting behind his back. Of course he will be wary and suspicious after the stunt she pulled in Boya. Yes she is trying to be a good wife but from his perspective he will obviously be cautious against her repeated scheming.

Yes, it was like he was forcing the moment to be sensual with the focus on his wounds (ahem ahem) and FL's unconvincing reaction to his perceived position in the bath...but it just felt forced and even rapey in the beginning. Like the MCs were too awkward and uncomfortable for it to be sensual. Made me uncomfortable as well lol.

Yes, that's a plot hole. Only when he finds it again does she grow suspicious.

OMG.....🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️off to read the novel

LYN looks majestic in the white outfit and the black cloak. My favourite of many beautiful outfits of his in the drama. Ep 10....was a trial. I didn't like the scene in the drama that everyone really liked in the novel (you know which one). The camera language and overall direction is so....uncommunicative and muddled in that scene. Aphrodisiac scenes are dime a dozen in cdramas and have been executed much better in some of the other dramas I've watched. At least it's over now huhu.
Also the mother in law character is so cute with chubby cheeks but such a convincing dumb malicious character, I enjoy it everytime she is on screen because I know she will get her karma instantly, instant gratification lol

One fan asked Liu Xue Yi a question in his livestream "did you join for the reshoots just to film the kissing scenes for half a month?" Huhu
He said "how is that possible?"🤣

Thank you for the recommendations. I have unfortunately not had a good luck with LLTG, picked it and dropped it many times before finally giving up at ep 15. I couldn't stand the FL and being told over and over that she is badly behaved with little to no proof of the same (classic case of telling rather than showing in storytelling)
I have watched TDOS and Blossom and enjoyed both. I will check out the rest and see how they are, thank you!

I found the FL's character and acting a bit inconsistent. In some scenes she is shown as very mature and clever, then in some scenes she pouts and acts cute. The pivots are sudden and has a whiplash effect on me. Don't know what side of hers is true and what to believe in her case. But in this case, I do understand her. She knew more than anyone that her grandfather was remorseful till the end. In the latest episode, she finally comes clean to the ML that she did think about her clan first, but his clan will also have mutual benefits. She is trying to step on two stones at a time (a local saying where I'm from, means trying to ride in two boats at the same time.) Let's see how it goes but compromises are certain.
