It was a delight. I loved the ending and wished we could see more of that scene. I loved the way they bickered, and their romance was off the chart. The way the emperor treated his brother was something you never see in other dramas, where it's always them fighting for the throne.
Agree, I haven't yet seen any character as smart as FL.
Wei yinglo and minglan can't be compared. Yes they are both smart as hell, but there situation is different. Wei wanted to find out and punish the person who killer and raped her sister. For that reason her method were slightly different as it involved the imperial harem. Minglan wanted to find the reason for her mother's death and avenge her, she did and then like Wei they both find someone they like/respect so much that they also protect /avenge them. So they are both extremely intelligent and ruthless.
The amount of Sexual and Physical abuse was hard to watch. She was raped by the SML, her mother in law punished her as she was fooled by Fl sister they caned her and pured dog blood over her, SML and his wife (Fl sister) killed her unborn baby (the father of the baby was SML), forced marriage sex and again slapped and sex and then again attempted rape. The revenge was okay but could have been gruesome seeing how much suffering she endured.
WOW AMAZING, full of laughter, romance, detective, and the best part of it all is using modern scientific techniques to solve crimes in ancient period. I HOPE TO SEE SEASON 4 PLEASE!!
I would have liked to see more of their son and his teenage/adult interaction most probably with his siblings with a little mix of romance with his gf and how they navigate their palace life. Introduction of western themes by peng peng and maybe adding innovation not thought possible during that time.
This was great, I read a lot about forced kisses and stuff but I it was only once or twice and it wasn't like the FL was against it or anything. All in all a good watch with sweet Happy Ending!
This show despite the many plot holes is still good. The ML has an unquenchable thirst to reach the top after the death of his father and angry at the world for having lived a life in poverty , he sets out to climb the mountain by making big leaps. The climb changed his character and each decision got him closer to falling of the mountain. The ending made sense, he returned to the place his father was resting as he could no longer continue living with the guilt of having made the same decision that got his father killed. The ML had several chances to stop his climb and rest and lookback at the beautiful natural landscape but he failed to lookback as such he didn't realize where he went wrong. As for the FL many have commented that she has no expression, I disagree her character was not an emotional one she has to show a strong powerful face and never to show her weakness as everyone around her is looking to pounce on her, even the brother she was close to betrayed her. Imagine living like that, it's hard. When she had to show emotion you could see them in her eyes, which showed whether she was angry, sad or happy. Throughout the show I never saw her smile, laugh, or giggle. I pitied her as in the end she was left alone.
I think I can put your mind to ease!Regarding the SFL (second female lead), dont forget that in the story of the…
Well explained! I understand from the SFL perspective as she would be saving the city and killed by ML in the original story who would have been married to each other. It makes sense that the FL rash decision did have an impact on SFL character.
Thank you for taking the time to correct my viewpoint.
I am on ep 2 and the ML house is really the same house in so many other daily dramas. I don't remember the exact names but when I do I'll post them below. I'm like c'mon try to a least change the wallpaper/color
im crying to see that guard geng and madam yang from "my heroic husband" is finally married in their next life…
Is this worth watching tho? I felt bad for the guard in MHH, he was going to be a manager of a shop and lost his life and madam yang never knew about his feelings.
Yes, and the forced marriage wife(princes) makes an alliance with the ML to teach the FL to be better at household and business and make her his wife and in return she gets to divorce and live her own life.
The leads get married in the beginning as part of the selection process, ML liked fl when they had an interaction and he chose her to be his wife. However she got married as a Concubine but the whole show is her getting to learn many different things and gradually falling in love with the ML.
