This drama was a victim of the post-Untamed crackdown. Not the fault of the creative team. Right story, wrong time.

Why is she annoying? I see this comment so often across this website so I'm interested in your take. Interestingly I almost never see 'the male lead was so annoying.' Interesting, right?

A useful analogy for this drama would be that it's a bath, not a shower. Both do the same job but one is efficient and the other allows you to luxuriate. Some people love it, others dislike it.

You are inferring too much. I didn’t call her anything. I sent you an informative link. It’s worth pointing out that you repeatedly called her a psychopath and then diagnosed ASPD, then went on to say that you ‘can’t diagnose someone based on one episode’. You could be more consistent. Have a lovely day.

I don’t care about the drama, at all. I do care about misinformation. As a medical student you should know that ‘psychopath’ is not a diagnosis nor a term used by the medical profession.

It's good. A drop like that is usually the result of trolling or a systems issue.

I'm seeing a LOT of passionate hatred which as we know, is often transmuted into other powerful emotions lol.

It's not the same plot. It employs a similar trope to 'Are You the One?'

I’m interested in your view on this rather than sitting through a 30 hour drama.

What methods could a smart woman use in those times?

I’ve never met anyone who thinks 39 is old for the ‘acting industry’ - after all, Meryl Streep is 76, Judi Dench is 90.

I’ve never met anyone who things 39 is old for the ‘acting industry’. Meryl Steep is 76. Judi Dench is 90.

A serviceable ending albeit rather sweet. An extremely meandering journey and could have been handled more effectively in 8 episodes.

It takes a significant level of hate to abuse your spouse, I’d say that qualifies as emotional. The emotional response triggers the physical response.

The domestic violence statistics would beg to differ.

At this age? Geez. She’s 39 not 99!

There were some strange script decisions towards the end.

- Why did the 2nd male lead keep the governor’s daughter around? Also, given that her father was treasonous, shouldn’t the whole family be punished?

- why did the emperor suddenly go from kind and straightforward to the kind of nasty bastard who forces brave military men to announce the marriage of their true love to another? it smacked of ‘New writer, who dis?’

- splitting up the armies and potentially letting your enemies win is preferable to two generals having a little too much power?

Weird.
