BORNO

Her smile is enough for me. Such a pure smile. I could just watch her smiling all day lol.

With each ep this is growing on me. I think ML killing off ppl is not far away. For now him being a govt official is stopping him but I think things r going to get worse that he won't have a choice.

Zhao Hui is dumb asf. He believed in some BS rather than his sister. If not for ML, he would have kept on living in his delulu world. Dumb shit.

And here we go again with PM comparision. It's difficult when you start projecting SML as your ML from the get go. Good discussion tho. Take care.

Yes. So many such small nuances which people won't notice if they just keep skipping scenes. Great characters. It's difficult to write grey characters like Daebi Mama. They did good.

Boring? That’s the last word I’d use for ML. Are we even watcing thee same drama? He’s one of the most nuanced characters I have seen in a while. Shaped by childhood restrictions where he couldn’t even play freely with his brother because the crown prince title created a wall between them. That sense of unreachable stayed with him, making him long for it. The trauma drilled into him by his father that the throne was something unattainable, so even when his brother asked him mul times to take over(hinted in today's ep), he didn’t dare. Then his brother’s death. In the latest episode, he openly regrets not stepping up earlier, believing his hesitation cost his brother’s life. And now he’s determined not to let history repeat with his nephew. What makes him fascinating is the conflict within. Is he driven by greed or by protectiveness? Even he doesn’t know(he himself told FL in today's ep). That breakdown in the crown prince’s quarters crying alone, says a lot about the character.

And some never fail to amaze me with their SML obsession.

I hope the Queen Mother sides with ML. I think she has realized her mistakes and her character needs redemption. I have long suspected that she lowkey liked ML. The way she acts around him, the way she strongly opposed ML marrying FL and how she pushed SML to break them apart. That flashback made sense. I don’t like her endgame being with SML. They were lowkey hinting at it throughout the drama, but I want her to be happy somewhere outside of politics. I want to see some good moments between her and her son. I want that kid to grow up happy.

I won't even mind if A Sheng & FL are end game lol. The way she gets jealous of ML.... I like her very much. And she's so freaking badass when she fights. Even if she stays single towards the end of this drama...I am ok with it. I am going to miss her a lot when this drama ends.

Depends on what you consider as mainstream.
It's been a long time so forgot about most of them.

Ep 25 is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, episodes of all time in C-drama history, and I am saying this after watching hundreds of dramas. If you have not started watching this drama yet, you are for sure missing out. Most underrated drama. 8.1 rating... are you kidding me? The conflict shown between mortals and immortals is so refreshing. It was done before, but the way this drama explored it is on another level. Craftsmanship vs immortality.

Idc whether FL's father's protectiveness towards FL led him to slap ML but that guy freaking needs to be put in his place. He is acting all high n mighty and his face itself is giving me instant irritation. Can't even talk properly with his daughter n how dare he slap ML? Fu***ing loser. That primeminister is one more loser. No guts enough to confess to FL but acts like she belongs to him. First off FL should stop acting like a teenager. As per the story she had multiple relationships. It's not like this is something new to her. If it's ML, I wud understand as he literally had zero exp in that area.

It's just to gain the senses. I think he will still have his powers.

I am liking this drama more n more. Why the low ratings tho? The concept of immortality tax and the debate around is pretty intriguing.

Yeah right!! You mean one of those idols who can't act..maybe you should go watch one of those idol dramas. There are tons of those out there.

There are some plots that instantly draws you in and this is one of those dramas. Damn! this is good. Infact, too good to be true. It's a long drama so will have to see how it progresses but for now it started off on a great note.

FL is kind of too.....IDK what to say?

If they want this to be female-centric, then they should have named it similar to those female empowerment dramas that have "THE LEGEND OF..." in their title, where the ML just plays a supporting character. If they had named it like that, I wouldn't have expected much. Didn't they promote this drama otherwise? All the promotional content they had released so far suggests that it's a general ML-FL balanced drama. It started off like that as well. Why change it in the middle? I feel betrayed after investing so much into their dynamic. The way these guys elevated the director to the next level... omg, I am so pissed.

Def. It even felt weird coming from her adoptive father. No father wants their kid to go to war. Her decision was to go back to her village and rebuild it. Latet on once war ends ML will take leave from his duties to join her. I thought that they mutually made that decision. I thought that we are done with that. Then all of a sudden, she is going to war. She wants to save her friend. OMG she wants to do so many things. Kudos to the ML for keeping up with her. Her mind keeps on changing. Girl, make up your mind. At this point I think it's better they shift their priorities. ML should go back to that village and start rebuilding while taking care of the kids both Ning'er and Boa'er while FL should take care of the wars and etc....

And too much plot amor lol. Why all off a sudden she became a seasoned war campaigner. The way she offed that general and prince changxin like they were nothing all the while she had no battle exp. The plot armor they gave her was just thst she was strong and she learnt some spear techniques from her father. At this point I feel like she is more stronger than Marquis. And by the way she is leading the army. ML is just a commander under her.
