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.
