For those criticising the basic fact in episode 1, you need to understand the depth of the matter. It was not simple ink. The ink for tribute and the prestige of the Li family were rights given by the Emperor Jiajing because they made the best ink. Not every kind of ink was used in the Imperial court, but it requires specific characteristics at a very high level. Ruining the tribute is not simply ruining an ink that they can make again, it's like not giving the right importance to the matter. The supply is not easy even more during the Ming Dinasty. I am loving this drama detailing all the different aspect of Ming China, not only ministers and court but noble families. Yang Zi is the prettiest and cutest, she is perfect for the role of Li Zhen.
Probably airing in June because Fourth said that it will be face to face with Ticket to Heaven for a while, Win and Tu said it is very very close ( only 5Qs remaining) and Tay said it will be airing around the middle of the year. Let's wait all together for this.
The double standard. They are still using Chinese things in everyday life like Chinese cabbage, Chinese festivals, Chinese zodiac, Chinese hanfu disclosed and ancient Hanbok, and they protest? Yes, a modern monarchy would be independent, but they should change their own culture first, rather than complaining, while in korea they still think Manchuria is not China.
Im watching this again, and I wonder how did Rouxi started to like 4th prince??? Is it because she knows from…
This is related to the novel and you are perfectly right about her and 4th Prince. In the novel, in the scene when he teachers her how to ride a horse, she thinks about the fact that as Zhang Xiao she has always liked 4th Prince from history books, supporting what he did after becoming Emperor. It's now as Ruoxi she is both fascinated and charmed by him and a bit scared, because she is facing the real thing. She falls for him knowing exactly what will happen, but hoping his love for her will mild a bit the things. About asking the 13rd Prince it is related to the fact that she knows who will become Emperor and she has to be careful not to be his enemy. So to avoid being too suspicious and too easy to read, she inquires about all of them. About 8th Prince, concubines were common and normal in Imperial China and it's not usual that some thing like that would happen.
Yes, they will censor anyone who has ever played bl, except for ”addicted” actors haha because their drama…
No, China will go with this for sure. It is confirmed from official sources. I was surprised at first but there is the 45min version. Probably they won't be swapped for other minidramas. They are not banned entirely but only in normal length 45min dramas

they will ban actors from acting in 45min dramas, and in this case the ban is because this is a minidrama but the 45min version already exists. The ban is right, China is not a country for promoting BL. DeDe will appear again in straight minidramas for sure and Hou Yiran too.
people like you are never happy seeing successful and talented women. she IS a good actress and thats why she…
The fact is that for this series, FL is praised for her outstanding beauty both in the original Chinese novel and in the original Chinese drama which are the source of this remake.
Watched it out of curiosity to why everyone says it's a K-trauma and for Lee Joon GI..I waited for the tears,…
I agree with you. Unfortunately they downtoned the whole tragedy a lot, FL is not based on real characters like the original Chinese one and she is even too stupid. Lee Joon Gi and IU as actors saved the series, but not the characters. I laughed so hard, not a single tear at all.
It IS history, a drama based on REAL HISTORY. You corrected me but I suppose that about this drama you can only talk about the actors ( spoilers, they are rookies and even not handsome at all). As I said, talk to me when you are mature enough and educated enough to talk about history. " just a drama" is a very childish sentence to say.
I repeat it again, don't talk to me if you can't recognise all the major faults in history class this drama has made. I am not here for actors, I am here for the historical plot.

You should watch Chinese original Scarlet Heart to understand the plot
