It has amazing potential so far, but I really hope they don't ruin it in the second half like so many other dramas this year. I'm sick of getting hooked into dramas with an amazing plot, only for it to go downhill after it actually starts getting a little attention. Hopefully, this one will break the trend!

I feel like he hasn't started falling for her yet. He's just a hot-headed, entitled, and arrogant person by nature, since he's the king and nobody's told him no (but our FL will be the first to do so, changing his view on things and making him a better person!). And the consort not liking her is only because of her own insecurities and the fact that the FL was praised by the king for her talent in cooking, which he's never done to anyone before. But I think it'll definitely develop into an amazing romance by the looks of it. Their current chemistry itself is off the charts!

Agreed. I feel like if he really was the tyrannical and arrogant person he's portrayed to be in episodes 1 and 2, he would've just killed her when they first met, no questions asked. After all, they've said that he apparently has "no regard for his people's lives", which makes me think that it's highly unlikely he would've even let her live after the first half of the episode after she insulted and hit him like that! But thank goodness he didn't, because their chemistry while bickering is so good, and I can't wait for their enemies-to-lovers forbidden romance arc!!!!

Lmao yess! If only that were true, this drama's ratings would be sky high, no matter the ending!

It probably is, but I don't think anybody would complain if we actually do get 7 extra episodes.

Just realized he's done 4 dramas with Xu Kai. It finally makes sense why he's in so many of the dramas I've watched since I'm a Xu Kai fan, but that's also made me a Gao Han fan along the way!

I've loved his acting ever since Falling Into Your Smile. Although he didn't have a really big role with lots of lines in that, I started noticing him in a lot of the other dramas I watch, like As Beautiful As You and Love Like the Galaxy. When I realized he was in this, I got pretty excited. I love having a supporting actor who can convey different emotions and play all types of roles.

Just noticed the episode count changed from 33 to 40... does anybody know why?

I'm loving this drama so much so far. It's nice to see a relatable lead when they travel back in time, because most people accept it in the first 10 minutes of them travelling back, while our FL actually questioned things and went through phases of shock. I love the chemistry of the leads, too. If I didn't see the comments sections, I wouldn't even know about the age gap. I hope the drama doesn't disappoint in the future.

Oh. I don't watch BL, so I wasn't aware of the heavy censorship. I mean, I would assume it's heavily censored given how censored even normal shows are, but I didn't think it was this extreme. Thanks for the insight.

I remember searching it up once, and I'm pretty sure they've had laws against things like rebirth and time travel since around 2010. It's so that people don't believe in supernatural things and don't disrespect history or something like that. But I never knew of a law against BL, because aren't there so many BL and FL cdramas?

Decided to give this a try and am now 2 episodes in. Safe to say I am obsessed with this show now. I love the FL's facial expressions so much. The story has me hooked, but I've seen some clips on TikTok of sad scenes, and I don't do well with trauma dramas or sad dramas, which is why I usually stay away from costume dramas, but I'm crossing my fingers for this one.

Ty!

Thank you. But I hope it's only for that specific drama you watched and not for all dramas.

Ahh, thank you!

This is my first K-drama, and I was wondering if Korea has the same restrictions as China when it comes to topics such as time travel in their dramas? For C-dramas, all time-travel-based dramas end with it being a coma, a dream, or a book that was written by the main character, since time travel is banned from being shown in any drama, and I was wondering if Korea has the same laws.

Never watched a costume K-drama before, but it's going well so far. I really like the comedy and culinary theme of the drama, and I really hope they don't turn it into some heavy political mystery drama in the end. It's giving me the same vibes and a good hook in the beginning as 'Tastefully Yours', a drama that aired a few months ago, but I hope they don't ruin it like they did with that one.

I'm a huge fan of Xu Kai, but I don't know if I should watch this show cause I'm not really into costume dramas since they usually don't have much romance in them. Could someone please tell me if there's a lot of romance so I can decide whether to watch it or not?

I would be watching this since it seems interesting, but I can smell the angst and sadness a MILE away, so I'm gonna sit this one out for the sake of my mental health.

Ty!
