Draco

For those who like zin zi ping play by he rui xian in royal feast. She has another drama airing on april call delicacies destiny, it's another food drama for those who interested ^^

Finally I watch up to the ep zhan ji father died, and he's going to become emperor. Compare to xukai character in yanxi palace fuca fuheng, his character in royal feast was born to royalty, his life is so much more easy and charm, while fuca fuheng was so miserable, married to someone he didn't love, pining over a girl who he can't have.
This feels like a compensation for the suffering fuheng bear in yanxi palace ^^ Zhan ji's father only rule for a year. How sad that he did not get to see his father before he die, his death was so sudden.

Yes, watch on YouTube.

I can't think of the reason concubine gu would benefits from the empress's death. It doesn't make sense, matron meng was saying to concubine gu to be prepare, so she must've known the emperor was in poor health and warned concubine gu. I actually believes she truly want to mend fences with the empress, so if the emperor died the empress will not send her to be buried with him. Or am I wrong and she truly thinks she could get away with poisoning the empress. It's more likely it's just a coincidence since I'm suspicious about the menu you yi fan told su yue hua to prepare for the emperor since she's responsible for the emperor's meals.

The empress is such a strong woman, she was able to keeps secret the emperor's death to protect the throne for her son. Zhanji is such a strategist, he was able to escape from the assassins send to kill him, and turn things around and surprise his uncles ^^

What a cruel tradition, those women who are supposed to be buried with the emperor after he died, what a sad life for them.

Zhanji is a cat person, I also love cat. Even when he's away, he knows how to romance his wife ^^ hiding so many drawings in different places for her to find, zi Jin treasures them because it's drawn by him, their relationship is so touching being newly married they both think for each other ^^ Zi Jin was able to get along with those concubines of zhan ji, she is really good at making friends, the only one who doesn't likes her and is the odd one out of zhan ji's women is that one girl who zhan ji keeps avoiding because of her smell, is she as simple as she looks. That painting she ruined looks like it was done on purpose. The music and dance for the empress's birthday is so beautiful, zi Jin is so talented. Her gentleness and the way she deal with zhan ji's other concubines reminds me of the first empress from yanxi palace, zi Jin is so much stronger though ^^

Is the casts official, gao han and he Feng tian are in so many dramas with xukai, are they in the same company?

I heard it's always on the top ranking even if it didn't get the number 1 spot while it's on air.

Story of yanxi palace was mostly about the sad lives of those concubines who are trap in the palace. The topic wasn't something I care about, I do love the story and characters, but I was only able to finish the drama because of the yingluo and fuca fuheng being two characters I care for the most in that drama. With royal feast, it meets my expectations since from the beginning I love the food theme, and I was hoping for a lighter drama that focuses mostly about food and romance between the main leads, and less on the politics. I think yanxi palace set out too much expectations for the romance of the main leads and that lead many to be disappointed, I on the other hand just want a nice love story that has a happy ending, so knowing it's a happy ending, it's enough for me ^^

Really, that's cool, does that mean those who has Netflix can watch it by April 15?

Was checking the novel of part 2 of tianqi and yuemi story. I can't find much info about it, instead I found the novel for this drama. The novel has some differences to the drama, I only read a few chapters in the beginning, and qingmu and fengran are stronger in novel than drama. However the demon king is not as impressive as in the drama, also tianqi role is far less in novel since from where I stop he still hasn't been mention at all. Thanks to blizzardahm for the translation of novel, too bad she won't finish the translation.

Still no official announcement.

No you don't have to pay. If you have VPN, you can watch it on YouTube, just set your region to Taiwan or Indonesia.

Watch it with VPN, I just check, and the sub eps are up to ep 28. If you don't have VPN and don't want to pay, you can download it for free in the app.

For those who are watching on YouTube with VPN in the first week they have 1 ep a day, they finally go back to the schedule of the first week of 1 ep a day ^^

You have to set your region to Taiwan or Indonesia if you want to watch all the eps release by huanyu entertainment, I think they already released 27 eps.

I think if you click on one of the video from China huanyu entertainment, you can click subscribe. This is only if you're sign in to YouTube.

Also zhan ji was being so cute in this ep, him denying his feeling for her, and acting like he didn't care for her just to help her escape the marriage ^^ You yi fan and zhan ji's sword fight was really cool, zhan ji deliberately have a sword fight knowing he was injured, this is so his wound will be open and he will have to stay in the palace to recuperate. I wonder if he wanting to stay in the palace has to do with his father because he was worrying for his health. I'm so glad the doctor from yanxi palace is also a doctor in this drama, he and the crown prince's two attendants bring lots of humor to this drama ^^

In ep26, finally zi jin and zhan ji gotten married. Their wedding attires look so beautiful, zi Jin looks pretty with some lipstick on, she looks much better than her usual attire now that she is a concubine ^^ So from their marriage, the lady who accompanied zi Jin told her it was improper I didn't understand why, but someone answered on YouTube that zi Jin was only a concubine so zhan ji standing waiting for her was improper since only the main wife get to be married to him officially. That scene just makes it more romantic knowing that he broke a rule and that's why she was so happy walking towards him, that just shows her importance to him even if she's not the main wife. That's just so cute ^^ This is the best episode in this drama, we get so many cute scenes between zi Jin and zhan ji, him coming to see her after she fell asleep, and then later in her bath ^^

Or it could be divided into two parts like some dramas been doing lately ^^

The lesson I got from this drama is no matter how difficult things are don't give up. Both shanggu and baijue perform their duties, but in turn they sacrificed their love, and I think the ancient gods pity them and gave them another chance to be together. It's a miracle, but this could only happens because of both of their characters, baijue used up most of his power to keep back the doom, and help shanggu reborn for thousand of years, while shanggu never gave up even after everyone telling her it's impossible for baijue to come back after his core was destroyed when he took the doom for her. She believes that he will comes back for her and her son, and he didn't disappointed her, this couldn't happen without the help of the ancient god, but in my opinion baijue is so stubborn that he would have come back on his own, it would just take much longer.

It focuses on food, and preparation of food. If you like these things then you will like it, the relationship between the main leads are slow moving, so that might be the reason for the low rating. In term of being a palace drama, it's light on drama, the ml father is a more forgiving emperor than his father, on who is the better emperor I can't say since this drama depiction of the ml father is problematic, he's so nice to his people and the servants who served him, but is critical of his own family especially the empress and the crown prince, and it makes him looks foolish since both of them are the two people who truly care for him.
