Tbh I highly recommend you to read the novel instead bcos the story is very different from the drama and the novel is sooooo good! The ending is also very different! π
I'm the opposite actually π as I love the finale. To me it couldn't be any more perfect.Su Zhe needs to die…
Well he wasn't alone when he died. All of his followers were with him. What I dislike: 1. Sudden war plot. 2. Both of his most beloved, Jingyan and Nihuang weren't there. 3. What about the others? Oh watch s2 of course. Lol
Like I said, I wanted a peaceful death for him. Bcos he has fulfilled all his missions and reunited with his loved ones.
They will start filming on April 7. I feel bad for He Yu bcos he has no time to rest before the filming. He goes straight to Hengdian after Speed and Love ends. Meanwhile Meng Ziyi has 1 and half month of rest after she filmed San Xian Mi Hui, although she had a packed schedule on March. I hope they all stay healthy.
Another awards: - Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui won Annual Quality Appeal Drama Star - Blossom won Annual Drama Adaptation Award at TV Drama Quality Ceremony ππ
Also, Dou Zhao has exceeded 100M for character popularity! π
It's been months since it ended, yet the drama and the whole crew are still being appreciated πβ€
I agree π― with you about the last episode. It threw me! Why would they end it that way??It felt like the beginning…
Indeed it makes no sense at all when suddenly the story changed on the last eps. That plot was so unnecessary. We all expected he would leave after Jingyan ascended and the Chiyan case is settled. It would be a bittersweet and peaceful ending. I couldn't even cry watching the ending π only dumbfounded.
Perhaps the writer was preparing for a sequel, so to know what happened to the others, we must watch s2.
The fl in this series is really cold towards the ml feeling for a long timeπ€§ Im having mixed feelings for her…
Isn't it good? A very rare type of FL. Not the usual clingy, noisy, naive girl. Not the romance driven FL. Also it is rare to have the ML to shamelessly pursues FL.
Me too. I'm confused who Ning Shisan is, his sister's name is Ren Lu... if they are Jin Mei Niang's children,…
Some people speculated that it was just her imagination, an illusion. Obviously he isn't Ruyi and Yuanzhou's son. Also perhaps Chu Yue is following them to heaven since she walks to the bright rainbow side, and not going back to where she came.
It was unbearable to watch, as it didn't make any sense. ( could you please use the spoiler option).
From the start of this drama: 1. most characters don't use the evidence bcos they are scared. They'd rather wait for somebody to mention it (i.e Qian). 2. Most characters on the good side don't use their brain, esp in the later half. 3. About the ally, who do you think I was talking about?
The emperor is the most idiot, useless, powerless, has no charisma and majestic aura. More like a plump puppet of the grand princess.
Plump puppet: Rongyang, I will give you a second chance. Me: the second chance for this month?
For other characters: You have the evidence, but you don't report it. You have brain, but you don't use it. You have an ally, but you don't cooperate with him.
This emperor really made my blood boil. The Princess murdered countless people and committed other heinous crimes…
Promoted her status, announced to the whole world she sacrificed herself to protect the emperor. What a noble princess, the whole nation must worship her π΄
Totally, highly recommended drama! A must watch! A masterpiece! Especially for those who are looking for: 1. Extremely smart ML who can manipulate things to go on his way. 2. Non romance drama. 3. Unbreakable bonds and friendship. 4. A LOT of good people with only a few villains. 5. Villains get their karma. 6. A long list of likeable characters, and equally exceptional female characters. 7. An emperor that is not dumb. 8. High level of acting!
I can't choose my fav characters! I just love them all! I'm going to watch season 2 π€
p.s Consort Jing is the perfect example or a gentle and virtuous wife ππ»
I knew a long time ago this drama is brilliant, however I forgot about it and only recently found it while scrolling through wetv app. I have finished watching it and I totally agree with viewers! It is amazing and brilliantly executed, with top notches acting!
I got teary starting from ep 45. Not bcos it is sad, but rather a bittersweet.
Tbh I watch cdrama for the romance, but NIF does NOT need romance! I'm actually glad that it has no romance. Ni Huang barely appears compared to Qin Banruo and Consort Jing, makes me wonder why her name is right after Hu Ge.
My biggest complains: 1. What was with the last ep???? As if they didn't know what to do with the finale. I was dumbfounded. What about the others? 2. I wanted to know more about Hua Zu. They mentioned it a few times and I thought they would be a formidable enemy before the finale, but nope. It was swept under the rug. 3. I'm so confused with the princess consort. She is shown suspicious, but that's all.
I'm reading the novel for the third time bcos I really like it and it's actually really good. Once you pass the…
If you watch a lot of historical cdrama, you would know that back then, people didn't get married out of love. They were forced to by their parents.
Shen Zaiye is the most powerful person on court, even the emperor listens to him. Those officials would marry their daughters for cooperation. Shen Zaiye knows very well their intentions and accepts them all. But he does NOT love any of them as I explained on a comment above.
On the outside, he is known as a lustful man. He even made arrangements of his bed mates in a month π Until Jiang Taohua appears, this bed rules change drastically...
This drama has too many drastic changes. They made a concubine who got eliminated first as the SFL. Also there are 2 more concubines appear in the drama, while the most important female character disappeared... But from what I know, there is a rule that banned harem. So I don't think Shen Zaiye will marry those women... Also, Shen Zaiye and Jiang Taohua will have wedding ceremony, unlike in the novel. This should mean he marries her as his first wife.
Your question: does he have any physical relationship with his concubines?
SPOILERS!!!!
He never touches them. He has a bestie who is trained in martial arts. This martial arts need yin energy. To gain it, he needs to consummate with women. So this bestie is the one who has sex with them. Shen Zaiye only has sex with Jiang Taohua. How did those women not know? It is another explanation π
