While watching the princess's gambit i had a question , why would a crown prince need to be so extremely corrupt , cruel and work so hard behind the scenes for greater power and money. All he needs is sit tight , and someday he will be the ruler. i think the answer to that question I got from this series. Though nominated to the post, crown prince's position is not secured, and any thing can happen between the nomination and getting crowned as emperor. So they do everything to be in the dominant place , to crash contentors - aspiring or not , any capable competition , they would eliminate. Its kill or be killed situation , unfortunately for them. Coming to the 2 fighting princes - of both , crown prince is not as capable or scheming as prince cheng. his mother and Qin's family is holding fort for him. while prince cheng is very scheming , he doesn't need a scheming mother , though his mother is adequately competent and supports him well. (Prince jin was eliminated because he was seen as a contender to the post- though I think crownprince is not as capable to have done this crime. may be prince cheng , who appears to have that mean demeanour.)
Cheng Xiaos mom proved she is the best lawyer (not best mom though!), the way she dug up her property papers and identity documents and tried to sell off her house. Am usually on the parents side , understanding their side of reasoning too. But trying to selling off unilaterally , without discussing even with her dad either, and defending herself wih the reasoning 'am your mom' doesnt cut it for me. I now understand cheng xiao trying to live away from her parents. FL wanted to buy a house and surprise her parents with this big achievement, her mom trivialized it so badly. So unfair for her daughter and mom doesnt even realise what she is doing to her daughter
Met one of the best c drama dads in this series.. what a wonderful dad.!! Cheng xiaos dad is really really the best .. as good as Seven Tans dad in Go ahead
My comment has nothing to do withh main leads romance ...am just referring to underlying theme of cases.. leads have great chemistry ..and looks like it will a great romance for viewers to watch
In all the 3 cases , the underlying reasons for murders is love .. not the healthy kind .. bride's death due to affair with wrong person (case1), FL's cousin's love for the maid resulted in deaths (case2) , obsessive love of FL's senior for his already dead wife (case3)
Finally watching this series. At 7ep .. i was wondering. For all the intense training they did, they didnt do any training on softer/people issues ..neither the cabin crew not the pilot (FL) knew to raise the problem they are facing to cabin crew head ,/ Captain level. They handled it like they would handle in a fish market.. FL's friend made 1st mistake by just running off to confront. And FL followed by making judgements on her own without consulting captain of the ship. Both the cabin crew head and captain has most to loose due to the ep7 incident. I understand now what ML means when he said she doesnt have correct attitude for passenger segment flight
It was very scandalous of him to enter her inner chambers, she is not dressed decent enough to receive any guests.…
For a young man of that era , his behavior is wierd.. he barges in to her carriages, and now into her inner room... did not grow up learning about etiquette of that era or using it to secure marriage with her
So when he snuck into her room and covered her with the coat…was it because it was cold?Or because her clothes…
It was very scandalous of him to enter her inner chambers, she is not dressed decent enough to receive any guests. He covered her to cover her modesty i think. And to sleep in her bedroom like that... what is he attempting there? If her cousin or family found out, he would have been in huge trouble
Really well made drama. Am enjoying it a lot. Esp landi li. , i always felt her makeup or styling didnt do her justice. She is looking very beautiful in this series. Esp her eye make up,. Same with ML, he is looking very good in this series as well.
There is one observation i wish to make. Do the leads or actors need to strave themselves to do well? The scene where FL stiches the cut on MLs back, i couldnt help but notice how thin he is. Not healthy weight. Little on the bag of bones side. Since our fav actress zhao lusi fell sick , i wish as fans we should wish for them to keep healthy weight and be around the drama scene for a very very long time and not starve themselves and fall sick.
Also in zhao,A mere person like her control the whole country. She can kill their empress & control the king,…
I think she is the junior the head imperial doctor talked about , who is proficient in poisons ,that the head told ML about..she got expelled from Qi for some reason..she went to zhao.. may have used her poison skills and got rid of empress , may have made emperor sick..controlled emperor childres using poison that needs monthly pills to survive ..sent poison controlled spies to Qi to capture it as well..using 3rd prince whom i think she honey trapped
until when have you seen to conclude a LOVE TRIANGLE ?
Ohh..thanks for the clarification. 3rd prince is so unlikable in the drama, audience wont struggle with second lead syndrome even if he falls in love with FL 🤣
until when have you seen to conclude a LOVE TRIANGLE ?
Seen till ep23 , no love triangle..not even a hint.. not sure where that idea that there is a love triangle occured on this page... is it from novel? Someone said , 3rd prince fell deep for him..and she almost fell in love with her.. but that doesnt seem to be the case ..🤔
