I have a feeling that camera is related to the new guy, that’s just a guess. I saw the teasers for the next 2 episodes and, although he really does care about Wan Wan, he’s up to some shady business of some kind.

I don’t think she’s dumb. At least, she doesn’t let other people walk all over her. I appreciate that. It’s not like Love O2O, though. If I compared it to another drama with gameplay, I’d say it’s closer to Love Scenery. She’s not a gaming pro or a particularly techy person. She’s an aspiring actress.

Yes

Huh, interesting. I’ll have to check the Viki version, then.

I thought cuts were government required, not public pressure? That’s what typically happens to c-dramas, regulations change and then they have to make cuts or shelf the whole thing. Is this something else? If it’s the Chinese government, you will never see the original cut.

His funeral just happened, so maybe things will restart tomorrow. I don’t know how long the mourning period is supposed to last

I really want to see 9 to see what happens at the ceremony. If they keep treating her character as though she’s intelligent, she should figure out that the emperor already knows about the upcoming assassination attempt. He practically told he when he asked her who she’d choose and then said she’d find out soon. He’s obviously going to judge her loyalty to him. I do wonder if these cuts in the show that people keep referring to in the comments have affected their character development because, based on the episodes I’ve seen, the emperor should not be expecting loyalty from her at this stage. She was a prisoner who snuck her way into the astrology department for her own reasons, not a loyal follower of the emperor 🤷‍♀️

I was wrong. The correct answer is today. Subbed up to 8 now

My guess is we don’t get them until Sunday or Monday and then they’ll start releasing one or two at a time. It looks like there are only 24 eps and it’s supposed to go until December 23

It was especially funny because he was supposed to be the older mature general to her teenage princess and the actress is older than the actor. Honestly, I liked though show, but I had to ignore the parts where they were trying to make her look young and playful 😂 She’s a beautiful actress, but doesn’t pass for a teen

Chinese dramas frequently have older actresses play younger characters and I think she’s supposed to be significantly younger. The worst case of this was The Rebel Princess, where they had a 40 yo woman play a 15/16 yo child. It was hard to suspend the disbelief that much 😂 I’ve generally learned not to concern myself with age or even try to determine age in these shows.

It’s only subtitled up to ep 5. On Chinese Youku, I think you can get up to 8, but it’s not subtitled.

This drama wins big points for me because instead of the typical lakorn where the guy is a jerk for 19 episodes and is redeemed in the last 5 minutes in the 20th, this guy does something kind of dickish in episode 1 and then has to pay for it for most of the rest of the series. It’s a nice change. Does it always make sense and seem reasonable? Of course not, this is a Thai drama, reason never makes an appearance

I initially loved the SML, but he took a hard turn left and killed every bit of my love dead. Irredeemable betrayal.

Princess Silver in the costume drama category.

ALS is a progressive, incurable, and always deadly disease, so happy ending is relative when the main character is dying from the start.

That’s funny, because I was worried it would be the opposite and I loved Go Kyung Pyo in Chicago Typewriter and I want him to get a win

I liked the first episode, but I think it would have been better if it weren’t related to So Wayree. Not only is Gun a different actor, his character is completely different. His wife also seems to live their child and be present in her life, which she totally wasn’t in So Wayree. Even the flashback with Mitra was weird, because it made it look like she had to let him down easy, when, in fact, he was instrumental in getting them back together to be a family with the twins. Just change the names and drop the flashbacks and it would be an entirely different show.

I agree that was his purpose for sending the uncle back, although CSS didn’t realize his purpose. Not that she should have, she had no way to know he was helping.

I honestly thought the line about her own escape plan was just because she was clever enough not to need their help.
