I have more sympathy for LZZ and Consort Li with what's revealed in these eps. As a foreign princess, the minute the crown prince ascends the throne she and her son will die. The king just wanted a marriage alliance and didn't care about her or her son
I'm not a fan of Bai BingKe but she does a passable job here playing the princess. It's like the role of the joker in a deck of cards, always pulling a surprise
Can we take a moment to talk about the costumes, wigs and hair accessories? They're gorgeous and have a lot of details and texture. I can't read Chinese or I'd love to know the name of the costume designer
Every romantic relationship here is having issues because of politics or class boundries which is realistic considering the setting. Will be interesting to see if anyone gets a happy ending.
I like how XL thought QL had faked her death off the cliff. Poor guy looked devastated. These two are too similar to each other. Scheming and gambling in life
I don't like that XL loves JQL but then he thinks she is too valuable a person and won't ever let her go back…
I think it's normal to want your lover to trust you and prioritize you over everything. Their situation is complicated due to being from different nations and FL hiding her identity.
It's a nice role reversal because it's usually the woman in a relationship who ignores everything for love. Seeing a big, proud warrior doing it is amusing because yes, he comes off a bit childish

It's also 36 eps so the pace is slow since it just started. This is basically an ensemble soap opera.
