Yuan qi personality is so like shanggu, I really like him. He's a special kid. Even though shanggu didn't have her memory, she loves and cares for him like he's truly her kid, going to see his father to ask him to act like a father should. Baijue's coldness to his son made her question her feeling for him, and everything he stood for. Baijue was acting the bad guy all along to get her to hate him, and her turning her back on him must have hurt him much more than all the suffering he has endure before. That's the instinct of a mother, protecting her son at all cost.

So there has been other drama that has depicted the crown prince the same way like this drama has done, how does he treats his wife and son in that show? What frustrated me is the crown prince is so nice to everyone, but he doesn't appreciate his wife and son even though they went out of their ways to protect him in this drama. I saw a video on YouTube that talks about Zhu zhan ji's life that was really interesting. According to that video, the crown prince was only able to keep his crown due to the emperor's love for his son, like this drama has show. Royal feast has less scheming compare to story of yanxi palace I agree. Zi Jin and zhan ji relationship I like better compare to the one in yanxi palace between wei yingluo and the emperor, don't know whether it has to do with they're play by Wu Jin Yan and xukai or because I just feel their relationship is a real relationship, and she truly loves him unlike in yanxi palace where I think she's only with the emperor for survival, not because she truly loves him ^^

The imperial grandson's consort wanting to poison herself gradually, but accidentally poison her husband. However he kept quiet about it instead of confronting her. This in turn sour his relationship with her, but in my opinion he must've care for her and is hurt by what she did. She has her own reason for not accepting him because of her guilty conscience about killing a patient, but it turns out it was her family fault for increasing the dosage that killed the patient, because they want her to become the consort of the prince. Her defiance of her family is causing a rift in her marriage, and the prince has tolerated her coldness to him before, but after this stunt, he will always hold a grudge against her, and never let her in his heart again. She is not a bad person, but her character is kind of boring for me always sad or looks sick most of the time.

Yeah you're right. Zi Jin has too much pride, zhan ji as an emperor has been very patience with her, and much more tolerance than most husbands in his position. All he wants is her trust and her confidant, she asks him to let her be herself, but she didn't want to compromise and gives him the trust he wanted. However after they gotten over their misunderstanding, their relationship becomes a whole lots better ^^

Same, I rewatch on YouTube again, someone was nice enough to post small clips of the drama ^^

So zi Jin was praising the crown prince for his charity work more than once. I think in term of being kind to servants he has a reputation, but that is when he was crown prince, however when he became emperor his kindness became a weakness. This made all those servants who were misbehaving took advantage of that weakness, and behaves badly. Zhan ji took after his father, he can be kind to servants, but he also has the strictness of his grandfather.

Agree I just love his characters in the different dramas he in, and how he shape them to be more approachable and relatable. Wang lu is one of my favorite character of his, I watched it many times when it first came out ^^

I think a lot of times it has to do with the character and not the acting. For me I love characters and plot the most and I really love xukai for shaping his characters to make them more approachable and relatable, and that's why I been following him since story of yanxi palace, and he surprises me each time.

I don't know what you are talking about, how is he confused and loss? And his acting only getting better, I don't think it has anything to do with filming more than 3-4 dramas a years since he does have break in between dramas. And what was your reason for rating this drama so low.

In royal feast, Wu Jin Yan character was really different from her character in yanxi palace, much more softer and kinder to her enemies. Zi Jin is very well manner, graceful and has the bearing of a gentle lady, much more forgiving than wei ying luo who's much more aggressive and doesn't let anyone get the better of her. A different portrayal, Wu Jin Yan did very well with this character. I'm glad to see Wu Jin Yan and xukai reunion in royal feast, making up for my regrets from yanxi palace ^^

In ep 3, why do I feel like Zi Jin and zhan ji are flirting with each other over the drawing. He was drawing a mouse, and she added in the background scenes ^^ At the end he was looking at the drawing and smiling. Chen wu describes her as thoughtful, good at cooking and good at drawing, it seems the prince has finally fallen for Zi Jin. Chen wu really understood his master ^^ In this ep, all the food that were prepared for the crown prince by zi Jin, Zi ping and yue hua look so good, I want some myself. Yan yi fan in this ep was introduce, and he looks like he recognizes Zi jin. That entrance was pretty cool when he got on the horse and reign in the horse.

Looks like it was intentional, the prince of Han was hitting the horse when the crown prince was on it, causing it to react violently and thrown the crown prince off the horse, if it wasn't for his son, he might have got a bad injury. Then later he cause the horse to go crazy when he hit the horse again, cruelty to animal, the horse would've hurt the emperor if you yi fan hasn't control it. The emperor only cares about his grandson, while ignore the crown prince, kind of feel bad for him.

Your welcome ^^

Yes go for it ^^

I didn't know the game, but still like it a lot. The in game scenes are very cool when they were animated. Toward the end I still don't know much about the game, but it didn't take away from the dramas. Most of the characters are very likable, nice team work, nice chemistry between main and support couples. The friendship between fl and her friend is so strong, just love her bestie. Lu si Cheng became more naughty after they got together, really like his personality change ^^

In ep 2 manager Feng is so kind, I think she purposely sending Zi Jin to serve the prince's food to help her stay in the food service. Zi Jin uses that opportunity to impress the prince with her cooking skill. Since I'm rewatching this, and knowing their history together, I start to notice her reactions to the prince, it's more than just curiosity that she is trying to take a look at his face, or smile seeing him angry, holding that jade (an item that was given to her by the emperor as a promise to be the prince's consort) and thinking of the prince. Watching this again, it's so obvious she has feeling for him, and it came way before she was saved by him in ep 2 ^^

Just ignore him/her. Zhou dong yu is a good actress, she is more known for her movies than dramas. She's the youngest actress to receive three golden horse for her movies so that person doesn't know what they talking about. I agree with you, dramas that only cares about looks are idol dramas, this drama is not an idol drama and the acting is the most important that's why the actors and actresses that were picked really fit their roles.

Yeah generally there will be dramas that focuses on romance over plot so what? For example the legend, dance of the sky empire, those two have the ml as lead too. I loss my interest because they start to add love triangle. I just noticed many cdramas regardless of genres do this, it could have been better if they focus on the plot. Most dramas I like tend to put romance on the side and focus on characters development and plot. This drama is an example, they spend 16 eps expanding on the god realm, and the main plot starts in ep 17. This is why I love this drama and could rewatch it many times.

I did write why i thought it was different. Read my comments again. I was commenting to another comment agreeing with her. Also what does it matter to you since you said you drop it.

When you have the patience to go through more than 4 eps I suppose. You already have your answer. So why even ask.
