I love it so far and give it at ep5 the rating of 8.5/10 but... Yang Zi is known for loooong crying/emotional scenes and being though hell and back as a character, so I am getting my stomach meds ready for all the upsetting moments hoping that the worst is behind me.
thank you so much for posting this - for some reason I am unable to see this though. I mean I get a list of short vids of the actors but not the series. do you mind directing me to it? Thanks!
pathetic i say..... i dnt know why i said this... most of the time when i was watching , i felt deeply irritated…
i agree with the sentiments. Just like 1000 years later in England we had similar double standards for men and women with the latter being taking advantage of, treated like dry goods and disregarded, this era (even though Northern Song was known for incredible advancement in women's affluence) was what any feudal patriarchal society around the world would have been. I am comparing this to Jane Austen's stories of similar crapola that women had to go through to survive and have some sort of stability. Annoying as characters could be, this is pretty good portrayal of chauvinistic stereotypes and what choices it gave women at that time.
both are great Dramas but take a while to build the back story. With Minglan give it to episode 33 where Minglans…
on ep 20 and I like it. yes, a lot of talking but the whole story telling is so amazing. Reminds me of (pardon for possibly offending others) Jane Austen's social microscope. Thanks!
Quarterly rewatch check in!I already lost count of how many times I've rewatched this drama. Each rewatch is still…
given you are a big fan and repeat offender ha ha ha - how should this be watched? I prefer short series and could use advice. 3 ep day? one a day? any info helps
the mere fact that it has 54 episodes makes me cringe. Honestly, does it have to be this long? is this a soap…
well, I did it and am grateful for your encouragement. Took 4 months but I loved it. Albeit, had to pace myself just like you said. Aha, and my favorite scene is emperor and Zhong De trying to compare notes on losing virginity -their own and the girls they got ha ha ha
