I have watched the first four episodes. The plot and the characters are intriguing, except for Grand Princess,…
Bird man is the one who played the three brothers in S1 when LLF just joined SWM and they a stop a post house. Same with the emperor. The first time I saw him, he looked really weak but he grew a backbone this season and look and act more emperor-like. I think that's on purpose. S2 is actually really good; it's my fav out of all three seasons. I think you will enjoy it!
313 / 5,000An unexpectedly great viewing. A bit of folklore, a few murders, the infinitely cute Su WuMing and…
"until one couple becomes rulers and the other couple becomes the prime minister and his lover" haha 😆 we know this didn't happen in history but one can dream right?
If by season 4 you mean the vertical short drama, the spinoff with Sheriff Wei, it is already out as of yesterday.The…
There are two spin offs of S3, one of which is the vertical short drama ft Sheriff Wei. But that is a spin off and not the 4th season. The 4th season is dropping next month mid-December.
It's too bad international fans don't get access to the spin-offs. If you like Du Junniang (Detective Wei's wife), in the spin off with Wei Tao, his wife literally came to save his ass while wielding two swords. I saw a clip of her and she looked awesome as hell.
I am on last case. I enjoyed S3. But unless the last case is mind-blowingly awesome, my favorite is S1 followed…
Agree with your commentary about S1. Especially the Gangtang Post and Hall of Life cases. Those were creepy 😬 It's the eerie folklore vibe that brought me into the show too
I can't decide if S3 is better than S1. But I definitely think S2 is still the best.
Agreed. The cases don't leave as strong an impression and definitely more...forgettable compared to S1 and S2. But we still get an overall solid production this season.
Seems to me they have put off Princess Taiping's arc to the next season. I think that makes sense bc there is…
Thank you! It's sad to know that that is her fate. It's a weird feeling bc I'm watching her story unfold in this drama and she is depicted as a complex character, not exactly black and white, good or evil etc.
The first layer suggests to me that the next season they will leave the capital for Shǔ 蜀- which is the ancient…
Thank you for this! A lot of the stuff here went over my head and not having the historical context for this made me miss out on a lot of nuanced stuff. Banished to a commoner? I'm interested to see where his journey will take him. Is Su Wuming an actual figure in history? I've heard of Di Renjie but not of Su Wuming before.
I can't decide if S3 is better than S1. But I definitely think S2 is still the best.
For me, S1 holds a lot of nostalgia and I've watched that season for over 5x but in terms of character development, how far they've come, and chemistry, I rank S3 above S1.

What is this Princess Taipeng arc? I have no historical background other than that the emperor won. In history did they have a full on war with each other? It looked like she was determine to do what she needed to do, which I'm assuming she's ready to attack him?
I can't believe the drama is over 😭 I'm going to miss everyone so much. I'm so excited for the 4th season coming out next month and even more so for S5 bc of the ending message. They expanded on everyone's character this season but I especially liked Ying Tao's growth and involvement in the cases. I'd love to see more of Xijun and Chicken Fed's active participation 😁
‼️ How would you rank and rate this season? For me it was a strong 4.5/5 ⭐. I'd rank it S2, S3, and S1

Thanks for the interpretation on SWM's name. It makes him an even more likeable character imo. Could you expand on the hidden message between the emperor and princess? Is he saying this is my domain and I'm the right one to be on the throne kinda thing?
Based on the ending message, it looks like the gang is going to leave the capital and I'm very happy for it. They traveled a lot in S1 and 2 which kept things fresh and interesting and I'm so excited they will be traveling again. So which direction are they going this time? S1 was south and S2 was West.
