Over 3600 people have it in their watchlist. Only 30% are currently watching. And less than 25% of those have rated it. I think more people need to watch and rate it to improve the rating. From the comments and reviews it appears like many are actually liking it. Few negative comments but that's ok its a matter of taste. Having said that we can never be sure of how many wolves are in sheepskin. I have heard too that mdl uses a complex algorithm to rate dramas. If anyone knows how it works please enlighten us π
Episode 10 is heartwrenching. We will know why he couldn't confess on that new year eve while watching fireworks and why he missed the graduation day trip.

I'm loving it. So wanted to see Miles in a light comedy role after Liu Chang and this seems to be it! Particularly loved how he plays around with the FL and his colleague Lawyer Liu π and makes his presence everywhere either by force or by coincidence π Hilarious bgm and expressions when he "catches" her while she unwittingly gives herself away as Ruan Yu Will have to see how (many schemes later) this mutual secret crush bears fruition and becomes a requited sweet lovestory Performances are good π

Thanks!Intrigued about Miles's character. He is a Dali temple official (which is translating to Minister of judicial…
In the Tang Dynasty (618β907 AD), judicial ministers and high-ranking civil officials typically did not have formal martial arts requirements, though many possessed such skills as a result of their aristocratic upbringing or the prevailing social culture. The Tang Dynasty was a period where martial arts became integrated into the education of young men, alongside traditional Confucian studies, with training in riding, archery, lances, and swords being common.
Martial Skills among Civil and Judicial Officials: Literati Culture: While judicial officials were primarily selected through the civil service examination system for their knowledge of Confucian texts and administration, it was common for Tang literati to be proficient in "martial" activities like fencing and archery.
Aristocratic Upbringing: Many high-ranking ministers came from elite families where training in horse riding, lance, and sword was a standard part of a young man's education, alongside academic studies.
Court Culture: Martial arts reached a prime during the Tang period. Sword dancing was a popular artistic performance at court banquets, and carrying small weapons like daggers and swords became a fashionable symbol of status and masculinity.
The Division of Civil and Martial Paths: Dual Examination System: Under Empress Wu Zetian, a formal martial arts examination system (Wuju) was established to select military talents separately from the civil bureaucracy. Although mainly for military officials, Wuju system encouraged a broader culture of martial arts proficiency across society.
Professional Focus: Judicial officials (such as those in the Dali Si or Ministry of Justice) focused on the application of law, torture regulations, and legal procedures. They were not expected to act as warriors, though they might have been capable of self-defense.
Exceptions: Some officials successfully transitioned between civil and military roles. For example, some famous Tang poets and scholars lived in frontier regions and experienced actual warfare, necessitating practical combat skills.
In summary, while martial arts were not a job requirement for judicial ministers, the prevalence of a "martial" spirit in Tang society meant that many such officials were likely trained in basic weaponry and horsemanship.
