Feng Suige could've easily become yet another villain in the story because of all the things he went through but he already had a great mother and along the way found loyal friends and eventually a caring wife so he choose to protect what he already have and not let revenge consume him, he even forgave the empress for the sake of his brother. But it wasn't the case for Xia JingShi, he even decided to kill the woman he loved and sacrifice his loyal friends and countless innocent people in the process .. Same story for both Princes with different outcomes. Their choices defined their futures.
The princess has nothing to lose now. Nothing is more dangerous than a wounded woman. She went from 0 to 100 just like that. She's def her father's daughter ..
Nothing breaks my heart than watching people sacrifice themselves to protect the people they care about. Episode 28 was heartbreaking but on the bright side, I'm grateful that the prince's friend and uncle were the ones to stab the prince in the back first. Now, the 1st prince can kill them both without feeling guilty.
Honestly, I get where the emperor is coming from, a nation needs a strong leader and the second prince and the princess both cannot carry this burden for the time being! But he really did not have to go this far!!! He could've taken another approach with his son!
Its insane how all these things happened and we're only 22 episodes in??? Not a single filer episodes so far and I really appareciate that about this drama.
Murong yao's reasoning is very solid and valid for his betrayal, Royal families are always partial towards these…
The emperor's decison might be cruel but considering the era, protecting the royal family comes above all. The Murong's were assigned the protection of a prince, an assassination attempt under the nose of a renowed general is consider a major fail that could've cost them the entire clan.
Yao Murong was a child, he did not understand the stakes of murdering a prince and he still does not, his father on the other hand does understand that only a strong leader can make a nation strong. The empire is nothing but a reflection of its leadership. Also, if his target was the emperor from the get go, why planning to massacre 300 000 innocent soul in the border when his father dedicated his entire life fighting for civilians??!!! Nahh this man is beyond evil ..
The prime minister had a child who is "dead". In episode 2, he briefly mentioned how he can't even put a memorial tablet for his son. I wonder what happened to that child, how he/she died and why he can't put a memorial tablet for him/her!!
I love how this drama is handling the "separation part" by separating the couple by not separating them. Even when they are miles apart, they are still working with each other to protect each other without communicating with each other. This shows how deep goes their understanding of each other's personality and thinking.
The same way Fu Yixiao was betrayed by her sworn brother and the prince who once promised her marriage, Feng Suige will also be betrayed by his loved ones. My theory is that the sister will betray him and his brother, the 2nd prince, is the one plotting behind the scenes to eventually take over the throne.
My first theory was the prince's childhood friend but since he was sent with his father to guard the borders, I guess we'll him later when the ML and FL are in trouble.
Watched episode 1 when it dropped then dropped it after first 30 minutes, came back again hours later and forced myself to finish the remaining of episode 1 and honestly I cannot feel the chemistry!! Both lead actors are veterans however this is not the drama for both of them!
PS: script writers need to really do a better job researching things they don't know and want to incorporate in their story! It was so confusing watching the genie try and explain his story!
I hope some day some writer dare to write, how actually South Korea basically became a puppet to US. How powerless…
did you watch the drama? Thats exactly what they did !! The South Korean president was "forced" several times to let the Americans do whatever they wanted on Korean soil until the last 3 episodes! She was inside the bunker hiding while the USA was about to start a nuclear war with North Korea sacrificing the South!
When she said "47" when he was questioning her after the torture, I thought she was talking about some old revenge or blood feud she had with him but then the following episode's reveal threw me off guard lmaooo I love it when enermies in dramas put gender aside and treat each other as equals. Hopefully no damsel in destress in this drama, she's a renowed commander so please don't put her character down just so he can shine!
