I'm watching it slowly on YouTube since I heard the sub provided on mangotv and elsewhere is bad, even after watching some people still don't understand the plot. The sub on YouTube is slower but it's the best to watch this drama. I won't listen to other people to make the choice for me though, I'll check it myself. It's a palace drama, I watched other palace dramas and they're characters centric rather than just following a plot, plus this follows real history so I'm interested to see what happens next. Plus I know xukai character will become king in the future, I can't wait to see that. I don't have too much expectations though since the beginning I love the food theme, as well as the main leads.

You're right, the wedding hasn't started and houchi came and stop the wedding. Jing Zhao told him she gotten humiliated, and wanted baijue to let her stays with him to give her face, he let her stays to monitor her mother, but also to compensate for using her. In term of marriage, I do agree it's sacred and shouldn't be taken lightly, baijue was prepared to marry the princess just showed his resolve about averting the disaster from happening to shanggu again. Houchi and qingmu married is separate from baijue and shanggu, so I would like to see baijue and shanggu wedding after they reunion ^^

I would call his character anything but bland, but I guess that comes down to preference. Also asking about plot when you're watching only up to ep 8, if you watch to the end and still think there's no plot then I won't say anything, but aren't you being premature. I watched up ep 17, and still looking forward to finding out the mystery of Zi Jin's background.

Are you saying this drama has a novel? It's didn't say on here. I thought it was an original story written only for drama.

Thanks for your answers ^^

You can get VPN for free in the app I think. Someone was helping by answering this a while back. Set your region to Taiwan or Indonesia.

YouTube, so many comments asking the same thing and the best option is YouTube, but you have to use VPN, it's sub to ep 19.

I understand Zhu zhan ji is an emperor and needs to have an heir. I don't hold that against him, and agree he has to care for his country and his people. As an emperor he has many wives, but his love for Zhu Jin is real, but she is still one woman among many of his women. He can't care only for her, he has to also pay attention to his other wives as well, there's no escaping that. Fuheng wasn't royalty, that is true as a result he could stay devote to one woman, his love for wei yingluo was really admirable, not many men can stay loyal to one woman. I agree with you I thing if Zhang ji is not an emperor, he would only want one wife who is willing to be devoted to him and he to her, he seem to be a romantic person.

You're saying their relationship is similar to the relationship between the main leads in yanxi palace. The emperor keeps getting jealous, and she keeps having to coax him. There was even a separation and she stayed with the dowager empress when he found out she didn't want to keep his child, is it as bad as that?

Thanks for your explanation, I didn't know about that. Who are the actors in ancient love poetry that are in the same company with him. And are there other dramas of his that has the same arrangement?

Yes I noticed. Also some in yanxi palace and arsenal military too. Really nice to see them again in different roles ^^ Although the physician in yanxi palace is still a physician in royal feast, I really like his characters in both dramas.

I don't mind multiple pairs since some dramas have too many eps so they have to fill the time, but agree with you one pair is good if the drama is shorter. For historical dramas, they need longer eps to tell the story coherently, this drama was cut down from 50 to 40 I think, so it's might be confusing for some viewers if they don't pay attention to the plot. For modern dramas it's the opposite. I don't watch many, but I think it will benefits a modern drama if it has a tighter plot with shorter episodes.

I don't know how many people are watching on mdl lol. I think the 1 billion is only counting Chinese viewers, And i don't know what the views count now.

On YouTube, there are some posted videos that discuss royal feast and has really good English sub. For those who are watching this dramas and wanting to know the perspective of the characters. I just watch a vid that makes comparison to Zhu zan ji and fuca fuheng from yanxi palace, it's an interesting look into the two characters. Fuca fuheng was so devoted to wei yingluo and even after she gotten married to the emperor, he never stop caring for her and even help her to win the emperor's love. His love was much purer than Zhu zan ji, in yanxi palace it was implied he stayed a virgin and didn't have any relation to his wife even after they're married.

Zhu zan ji on the other hand before he met and fall for yao zi Jin, he already has a wife and concubines. If hu shan xang hasn't acted out because of her displeasure with her family in pushing her to marry into the royal family, in turn sour her relation with her husband, so his interest turn to zi Jin was only through luck. Their relationship is not like yingluo and fuheng type of love, this a love from royalty who has other women beside her. As they're historical figures, the emperor having many wives is a given, so his love is not a pure love like fuheng. What I'm more interested in is whether he treats his wives well, even when he has his favor woman. My biggest problem with the emperor in yanxi palace was how he neglected his wives and in turn turn them into psychos that turn on each other to stay in his favor. If Zhu zhan ji actually treated his wives well, then his harem will be more peaceful hopefully. Still I hope we get more CP interaction between zi Jin and zhan ji, I was so heartbroken for their love story in yanxi palace. I hope this drama will satisfy our craving for this CP even if they're two totally different characters ^^

There was someone in the food service liking the crown prince's male servant, did she ever confess to him?

Was wondering if there're other side couples in this drama beside the main one. Like one for zi ping and does anyone know whether you yi fan and su yue hua will become a couple in the future?

What was your 3 most recommended dramas?

When zi Jin and zi ping loss the painting, I thought it was you yi fan that stole it since he was the one last saw the painting. So I kind of figured yi fan and yue hua had something going on. Please don't spoil it for me though I'm still much behind in my watch. Thanks for you answer though ^^ I understand zi Jin since she was chosen first as princess consort she would have been the first wife, but she gotten skip so she was only a concubine if she married him now. Any woman would want herself to be the first wife, and herself being the center of her husband's affection, zi ping is smart enough to know being the first wife is how she could decide her own fate.

Thanks for your answer ^^

Oh I see, thanks ^^
