Don't let others tell you how good it's, you should try watching a few eps yourself. For me this drama has many interesting characters and the focus isn't on only the main leads romance, there are many side couples. I love this story line, because you really will get a feel for this period and the lives of the royals and ordinary people. It's not everyone cup of tea since i seen lots of people been complaining about the screen time of ml. I'm enjoying the storyline so far since my focus is not just on their romance but also on the character growth of ml.

Do u think so, i'm enjoying their screen time together being they don't get much time together. Chumu is becomes much more responsible after falling for furou, but in the end he's still a playboy after all. What do you want for the leads to be exactly, they are two people who been kept apart due to the machination of forces beyond their countrol. Both of them want to get marry back in ep 5 and only gotten their wish in ep 30. All furou wanted was to leave the palace after she got in, while all chumu has ever wanted was to marry furou, so long story short they're just a young couple being push apart, and finally got a chance to be together and took it. I knew it will be short but i still feel it's worth it, at least they're finally married ^^

Did you read the novel, i have expectation that this drama follows novel so i'm still holding out for a nice ending for everyone involve. In my opinion up to 30 eps the drama is getting more interesting with chumu and furou being separated again.

Also furou sister landed herself in that situation being pregnant with your mother's murderer is laughable, although i don't blame her. The brother shouldn't tell the sister in the first place. He was the only one in that family chumu let on about the culprit, but he just blurted out without thinking. Fuyin could have a nice life marrying to that scholar, instead of seeking revenge.

You said inconsequential but i find lots of interesting plot points as they were traveling like them finding out about bandits terrorizing the farmers or officials taxing people just in the name of the king. Also it's a nice change to see 2 people who are not just portray as noble and are perfect in every way, but two young people who been separated for so long and just want to be together. I knew they both would be force return to the palace eventually, and will help the people they met along their way, but it still nice to see them finally get some needed time alone.

What i got out of this drama is status is everything. Imagine being force to marry to a good for nothing like lord liang who reputation is the worse because he's royal compare to two capable generals.

I guess i'm used to fl being reserved and cold than being forward due to watching lots of wuxia dramas way back in the day, and the saying males and females can't have too much interaction if they're not married, otherwise the females are ruin. The kind of things a girl has to go through in those days due to society expectation of them compare to girls in this day and age.

Girls back in those days are so pithiful, imagine being ask to marry by that many guys, but the decision who you could marry to is not yours to make. Furou is a court lady, so the decision of her marriage has to be made by the king/queen, reminiscent of yanxi palace when fuheng has to ask the king to marry the fl and was force to marry someone else he doesn't love. Lucky for us both chumu and furou are smart people and able to outmaneuver both prince zhou and lord liang.

Thanks, i get it now ^^

Yes

I'm waiting for more eps so i can watch all in one go rather than having to wait for so long. This is a drama where i can go back to watch the earlier eps and still find it interesting. Hope the quality will stay for the whole drama.

She is not a typical young woman either. She manage both her family business, they're the ones who depend on her for their livelihood.

Xukai don't do many modern dramas, so i'm looking forward to this one. I also like the genre.

I saw it on youtube, i don't know how to link though. Maybe you like girls who are more forward like princess xin nan. I think princess xin nan was able to act that way because she's royal, she's used to getting what she wants even going after the guy she likes. Furou and her sister come from a respectable family, so they're more reserve and also i feels their behaviors reflecting the value of young women in that time period, where they're expect to keep their virginity until marriage. Fuyin only change after she went to get revenge for her mother.

Ml does change for the better, however fl has to work in the palace so their time together are not much. I also think the same, this drama does feel like ml and fl against the world. I hope the pay off is worth it since this is a 55 eps drama, so it's still a long way to get to the happily ever after we all hoping for.

The only thing is she did get many marriage proposals but they were all turn down by her. In the first ep, she agrees to marry her first husband to save her brother. Furou is a strong and very smart girl who understands her own worth, she falls for chumu because he was pretending to be someone who is good in both how she called it sword and pen. In order to prove his worth he has to learn to do all that and more. Furou accepts him for his willingness to change for her.

I heard there will be 6 couples in this drama from the novel. I love the court politic and not just the romance of the main couple, plus the side couples are also holding my attention. Your reasons are differ from mine since they're the reasons that keep me watching this drama. In conclusion love that come easy won't last long, so i'm holding out for a big pay off for the main couple since all they ever wanted was to get marry and live together, but there're obstacles in their way to happiness which mean that chumu has to prove himself in order to ask for furou hand in marriage. From the get go, i knew this wasn't a light drama as the first trailer showed, i also seen the second trailer where everything was much darker. I was thinking someone in his family will be killed, but i didn't think it was going to be princess han. She and her husband have such a healthy relationship, i wonder if that incident will make chumu growth in maturity than he was already. The only time i see chumu forcing a kiss on furou was their first time, when he thought they were going to be apart and want her to remember him. The other time i feel she was willing since she was saying she will agree to whatever he requested of her. Chumu and furou are a couple so them kissing is only expected, it's just i feel she is very awkward and easily get embarass when it comes to being intimate, so that why chumu is always the one to initiate the kiss.

I find it weird you taking it at such face value. She's a 19 years old, so she's still a very young girl who has fallen in love for the first time. He's a spoil child of a duke, so yes they're both are a young couple, who has been kept apart due to circumstances not of their own making. So when you can't meet your beloved as you want, then you will treasure every moments you can get. Furou is a stubborn young woman, who is very loyal to those she love, she would champion for anyone who are not related to her just because she feel she can help them, i admired that principle of her. In my opinion she's more realistic than the fl in yanxi palace since she's not as savvy in the palace; she would get in trouble due to not knowing the ways of the palace. Chumu is not as perfect as fuheng, but i love that about him, he's change for the better after falling in love with furou. They're a young couple first and foremost, so as time will tell if their relationship will mature into an even stronger bond as they have currently.

Xukai looks so cool in this shot ^^

Yeah, sure but going to comment section, there are still those who like her role and make comparison to fl and like her character better.
