In ep 13, consort Zhuang is so pitiful. I'm so glad zi Jin is helping her cooking her favorite dessert, and letting her visit her mother for the last time. What a barbaric ancestral rule, Zi Jin is right it's wrong to put all these concubines to death after the emperor died, the rule should be change. The crown princess now turn empress is a cold woman, she has such a nice relationship with consort Zhuang, but she refused to see or speak up for her. Now I can understand why Zi Jin is so afraid of her. The crown prince now turn emperor, I kind of understand why he is not favor her, her personality is too strong, he prefers a gentle woman like his concubine who coddle him instead of lecture him like the empress always does. The emperor's concubine is afraid after watching consort Zhang died, she's afraid and it's apparent the empress if she has the chance will put her to death once the emperor died.

Zhan ji is mourning over his grandfather death, they had such a strong bond, the late emperor refer to him as the future of the ming dynasty, it's so obvious he only tolerated his eldest son because of his grandson. He would listen to zhan ji's advice, but refused to listen to the crown prince and dismissed him without letting him speak. He even pardoned officer xia when he was about to ordered his death.

I will wait for may, it's all speculation so let just wait until there's an announcement if there's a delay.

Yeah I think that's a good way to watch this drama slowly to appreciate the plot ^^

So many things happen in each ep of royal feast, so it's weird to see some people complaining there's no plot in this drama. They must be watching a different drama than the one I'm watching ^^ I have to write it out in the comment section so I don't forget, and even then it's still hard to remember it all lol.

Matron meng loss her position and is being picked on by her subordinate. Funny thing is she will get her position back and will punish that woman for sure. Zi Jin word about matron meng is so true, she won't be bully that easily. What I don't understand is why matron meng let her daughter believes the rumor about her, and not trying to explain to her daughter what truly happened. If she has been honest to yue hua in the beginning, yue hua might not turn out as bad as she was.

In those days people already know how to play soccer, those girls are so good at ball handling, wonder if they were truly playing. Zi ping is so good at playing with the ball, poor Zi ping being slapped for playing well. That lady of deportment wu is too much, she invited her to play and then get mad when she loss.

Zhan ji has it hard for Zi Jin, he even ask her to go with him, and catch a rabbit for her when he was away on business ^^

The mother of the crown princess is displeased with her grandson's consort. So she has picked out a consort for her grandson that the emperor approves, but he then changes his mind and pick consort hu because he believes in an alchemist about consort hu being a lucky symbol. Zi Jin being afraid to be seen by the crown princess's mother can only concludes she must've something to hide like she was the first girl that was approved by the emperor to be his grandson's consort.

I been wondering why Zi Jin gotten angry when Zi ping got slapped and she stepped on the lantern that zhan ji drawn for her, does it has something to do with her own situation, when she was also abused in the past by someone powerful. Also why is consort Zhang crying, it looks like the emperor doesn't care much about his harem, the way he treated his women from the last time when he was investigating about the attempts on his life made it obvious he cares little about consort Zhuang, I kind of feel bad for her.

I'm also looking forward to this drama of xukai beside she and her perfect husband and snow eagle lord ^^

It's on YouTube, with good subtitles, no need to watch with VPN. I'm quite satisfied with this drama since both of them have a chance to be together unlike in the other one. You're like many others who likes sad ending than happy ending. Xukai and wu Jin Yan were asked in an interview, and both of them said they prefer sad ending over happy ending. I think they meant the sad ending in story of yanxi palace over the happy ending in royal feast ^^

That depends, a good drama can still be interesting with good plot and characters and not be boring. For this drama 60 eps is too much, but it should be longer than 28 eps to give a better ending since it feels unfinished when it ended.

In ep 11, yuehua gotten a tip from you yi fan to cook with egg white and as a result cause the princess of Han to have an allergic reaction to the food she ate. This is the starting point where she cause someone's death by her cooking. She was used by you yi fan, and gotten mad at him but she still let him use her after that, thinking he is will help her advance. If she has confess to matron meng about you yi fan, he would be in trouble instead he was able to get away with killing the princess of Han, and even matron meng gotten in trouble, and loss her position after she was betrayed by the people under her. The prince of Han just let him get away with killing his wife, just show how little he values his wife by just slapping his son like it was no big deal. Even the emperor doesn't hold the food service responsible for her death, her death was rules as accidental due to poor health.

Zhan ji's uncles were plotting with each other, and that eunuch that was close to the king was in on it. The crown prince only cares about eating, it's a good thing his son is looking out for him and protecting his position, he scares his two uncles and gotten the emperor alerted to their plotting. The crown prince being kindhearted is considered as weak by the emperor and his two brothers. Zhan ji understood his grandfather quite well, his answer about what it takes to be an emperor is the answer his grandfather wanted from him. It's interesting to see such different view points to what make a good emperor. In this day and age, being a good and kind emperor is consider a virtue, but in those days it was consider as mediocre.

Yeah I feel bad for him since both his parents weren't there for him when he was born, on the other hand he's also very lucky to have people who love and care for him like tianqi, fengran and zhi yang. But like shanggu was saying to yuan qi, she believes his father won't abandon them, so she's fighting to bring baijue back not just for her, but also for yuan qi since a child needs both his parents' love, and I think yuan qi understood that.

I didn't think the ml was gay when I first watched the drama. His mother was worry he's gay because he's not interest in any girls she picked for him, it just means he hasn't find a girl to his liking, and his brother was making a joke about him being gay since his only interest is in game. Those people who ship him with another guy was just like ordinary fans in real life who ship two guys together after they were in a drama together, has nothing to do with them being truly gay. His interest was never about girls but about eSports, and he even said he will only like a girl if she can beat him in eSports. I heard there is a guy in Japan who is not interested in real girls but into an anime character, so there're many people out there, don't just make assumptions when you don't know anything about them.

No idea, still no airing date.

Zhan ji asking for Zi Jin's advice on his consort, so it seems he values her opinion. Her answer really surprised him, and made him gives his consort another chance. Too bad for her, her family ruin it by making him think she's offering her sister to her husband, and making him even more angry with her than he was before. Later on we found out, he hates scheming, so his change in feeling for her is much more than her trying to poison herself, and their relationship became colder after that, and she never tried to explain herself to him. Zhan ji even got mad at Zi Jin for giving him advice, and taking his anger out on her. Zi Jin made an impression on him when she told him she cares for him more than a servant to a master making him speechless lol. He's now regretting hurting her feeling, because he realizes her cooking for him was made with love and not just by a servant to a master, and that's why her food is so much better than those who prepared for him before. He's now trying to show her he cares for her more than a servant rofl ^^

Yuan qi was thinking to punish Zi Jin by making her waiting in the snow, and gotten punished by zhan ji. I start to realize zhan ji punished him many times during the course of the show, but he seems to keep making the same mistakes by thinking he is close to zhan ji as a result he keeps abusing his power. Zhan ji truly cares for him by punished him, but he never learns. Chen wu on the hand is very astute and understand zhan ji as a personal servant much better than yuan qi even though they were with him about the same time.

That's a surprise that you watch that many episodes if you didn't like it. Normally most people would drop it in the beginning if they think a drama is bad. Only those who stuck with it actually enjoy the drama and the game lol. Also this is not a documentary of gamers, but just a drama about eSports, whether they did it right or not it was just meant for entertainment, and not meant to be taken seriously even if it does showcase serious topic about online bullying that I thought they did a very good job focusing on it.

What's confusing for you? The only thing I consider hard to follow is the game when the characters are being picked I can't tell who is playing whom, but it didn't effect my enjoyment of the drama.

So the airing date still not out yet even though we heard it will come out in April, then may. Hope the rumor is true, and it will come out in may.

I also like that scene and feel ml understood her, that was such a cute interaction even though she was drunk and might not remember their conversation ^^ I'm rewatching it on Netflix, and i forgot how funny this drama is, it's an easy watch and I like it, but I was only truly invested in the drama after the team solved their misunderstanding when the brother came back my first time watching it ^^

Zhan ji has a very close relationship with his grandfather, the emperor is so doted on him compare to his treatment of his father. The crown prince is so funny when he wants to put off his duty to his son, it's so weird to see the way the son is being more responsible than the father ^^ How zhan ji deal with his uncle and father by knocking his uncle unconscious, and scare his father to pretend to faint is too funny, he's having fun at their expense ^^

How many offices in the palace that are responsible for the making of food, I keep hearing about other offices beside the food service, but they're only mention when it comes to picking the ingredients, or when they're competing. Like in ep 10 when they were talking about the office of entertainment or the directorate, and who are the one responsible for those offices, it appears to be control by the eunuchs, and matron meng kind of have to put up with their skimping on the food expense, so the one who is in control must be in a much higher position than her. The eunuchs in this drama have such power that everyone is afraid of them, even zhan ji's two servants are eunuchs, and they have lots of power too. There seems to be a similar theme in these palace dramas, there was a eunuch who was also a problem in yanxi palace and court lady.

She was in a depression so i don't think she would have been good company for him, and I wouldn't say she ditches him since she left him in very capable hands.

You're right I wasn't trying to have a discussion since I'm also done with this drama. I was just stating what I like about it, and what the drama could've done better, the second prince whether you like her or not is such an interesting character, that it was too bad her storyline was so short as well as ml's storyline. Let agree to disagree since my reason for not liking this drama has to do with fl and 2ml so.

My original post was saying I like the 2fl and want more of her story. That's fine if you don't like her since we can have different opinions about the same character. The reason why I thought the 2ml was just added in as a love triangle because the synopsis didn't mention him at all, that why I didn't like it when he has so much screen time compare to the main leads as well as the 2fl, as well as making me dislike fl when he was just a support role. I like his sister, the guy who like her and ml's friends but their screen times are less than him.
