Okay I’ve already finish 7 episodes and I love it so much!! However I have one thing that I really don’t understand.…
Empress Dowager (Tai Hou) is the Emperor's mother, be it biological birth mother or not.
Empress (Wang Hou) is the Emperor's wife.
How Royal Mother-Son relationship can become bad: When an Emperor dies with his heir still a child or dies without a heir/crown prince, the court may have selected a next in line child to succeed as emperor and also appoint either a minister or the empress (dead king's wife) to be the regent/advisor to the child emperor. So, when the child emperor grows up and reaching of age, the appointed Regent (Empress Dowager or Minister) who has been managing behind the emperor will have to step down.
From what i see in Ep 2, i guess the Empress Dowager doesn't want to lose her power / control in court...
How would they do that when it's a close up of them both kissing. Majority of actors are not virgins so this is…
not the kissing part. It's the part where she looks at the glass panel and then the view switches to us looking into the glass room in full view of her bare body hugging his!!!
woah, what a transformation! From a beautiful sexy mistress in TWOTM to artistic pretty undergrad in Nevertheless, to a juvenile punk turned drug ring undercover in police force!!!
LOL always wonder why cdrama directors include scene with huge empty ballroom and love props just to show the rich boyfriend/ husband having a one course meal?! So unrealistically boring!
Typical Cdrama,FL who is stupider than a retarded monkey,ML who is smart and capable, meets the FL, becomes stupid…
agree with you on the 2nd last para. For me, somewhere along the way, it became my PTL drama - something i put on to Pass Time while working on my Laptop.
It started off pretty well but somehow midway got bored... nothing to do with FL or any of the characters, but just its storyline and how they reveal their counter attacks on the villains each time.
Guess if we don't put too much expectation on films shot 4-5 yrs ago with greenhorns and rookies as leads, and perhaps outdated techniques, etc... we can still enjoy...
But i must praise tone deaf Simon for doing well in his lip synching...

Sorry if i'm not clear in my explanation...
