The make up is not good but resembles the make up of one of the actresses they are making fun of.

I think I’m becoming a parrot. It is making a joke on the fact that in most dramas people are completely oblivious to this kind of tropes.

He looks exactly like his last role ( even the hair do). It’s on purpose people !!! Even his sidequick is played by the same actor . That is a joke!!!

Let me guess who they are throwing shade at ?

She is dumb as hell !!!

That’s satire. They are make fun of this point exactly. In dramas people can never recognize other people in the flimsiest mask the same way that people can never recognize a women pretending to be a man .

That’s why his rep was trying to change the script completely ( very first scenes of the first episode)!!!

Why have to suffer ? Nobody is forced to watch. The problem with ratings is that most of the times are based in genre specific preferences. If the show is not one “cup of tea”, one should not watch and one should not rate.

Isn’t it the the point? They are making fun of that fact that this always happens in dramas when it shouldn’t!

That’s why c- dramas are so full of cliches. It makes for better understanding. If it derives from the mold it seems to go way over some people heads.

Seems there is a tendency of trying to understand the plot on face vale when actually is satire. Like missing the point …

Luckily for LYN, the people who actually have their money on the line, think he can play major leading roles.

The express package that is been referred is the final 6 or or 5 or 4 at once.

In the novel she always helps him to undress. Even in the beginning of the relationship. I always thought a nice touch.

It is watchable and enjoyable. The big problem arises in doing an adaptation that only marginally follow the source material, especially the vibe of the original. The book is not perfect but in the right hands could have produced a more rounded experience. The drama and the pathos of the original would make us appreciate the characters even more. If they wanted go the comedy route was not necessary to pick this original... And What a wasted of casting!

Agree completely.

She was supposed to have been born under great cosmic favors. The family ( and herself) believed that meant she would have a great future and was destined to be Empress.

One would not expect that someone so unprepared would marry into the Wei family. At least the book explained how that happened and maybe the show will explain too.

Since he still does not realize his felling s about her he might think the whole thing is his cousin being his cousin. Later it might hit differently .
