Not me still hoping the crown prince/new emperor will turn a new leaf and be a decent human being for once... He disapointed me at every turn but I'm still here - I really don't know why - cheering for him... Worse I feel alone... Am I alone with this fruitless hope ? Y_Y

Loved everything of it. One of the best couple relationship I've seen in a C-Drama. 10/10

China Censorship strike again. :)

The last bit about the real world is just to be able to be aired. FL cannot die in the real world and have access to another world, she need to "wake up" and her experience need to be a "dream" to pass the censorship. They have an history about schoolgirls ending their life to access this "better world" so now, it cannot be aired on national TV like this drama.

Yes definitely AI translation. In episode 1, they said Minwoo was Ian's friend and Jayden was his younger sibling. Maybe it was a mistranslation and Jayden was just Minsoo junior ?

Tbh, I will watch the final episode but the translation make the whole thing unwatchable for me.

I'm still baffled. What just happened with Keishi ? Oo

Sure, denying is understandable but straight up saying "Even if I was gay I wouldn't choose him". Like the coworker said, it was just cruel. Anyway, I can't blame Tojo to shell himself even more now. God, I would have PTSD. :x

"I can't date anyone as someone predicted I will make my Wife & Children unlucky... Y_Y"

Of course they will, because you we will have a Husband! :P

But like the comment below, it was a bit out of nowhere. Tbh, I see that coming as this couple didn't have much screen time to begin with. Sometime they just add a second couple just for the sake of it and it's the case here.

Also, surprised by the "Fight for You" Easter egg (not me not recognize the actor until this point... God I'm so bad at that...)

Anyway, the last scene was emotional. Not perfect (don't know why but Martin Wong was kind of awkward only when he played the phantom here) but it worked on me, they got me a tear. :'(

You watched this at x2 speed and ignored all the flashback didn't you ? The Emperor & Empress were in love even before the man take over her body. The whole story tell you that and how they grew apart once he became Emperor. MC was the catalyst that rekindled their relationship but If you truly read this drama as a love story between the Emperor & the man, well, I cannot do anything for you.

Yes, I also have major irk with this troop. Like I remember in the recent "My Dearest Nemesis" the grandma literally psychologically abused her grandson for YEARS but was in the end forgiven because she was grieving (like ML didn't lose both his parents...). The most enraging part was the parent died because someone crash into their car (Drunk driver ? Don't remember the detail) but she blamed a child because "If you didn't ask them to go to a comic con they would be alive!". This part was so poorly written that I'm still triggered. x)

Anyway, here, it's less bad. Obviously, the father is from another generation - he doesn't excuse him but I could understand where it come from at least - and really struggle with his own emotion that he never learned to express due to his own education (he wasn't even allowed to cry apparently...). It's a old tale that we already seen multiple time with coming out stories. :)

He tried to defuse the situation at first but after the father didn't buy any of that, Kanade stand for himself. I'm glad he didn't interrupt him because Kanade really needed to get that out of his chest. And he could do it because he become strong enough through the love, understanding & support Mashiro give him so far (like just a minute ago, he could reconnecte with his old high school friends because Mashiro push him to do it).

That being said, I'm 100% sure that after the father was gone, he did play the supportive boyfriend.

Wdym ? In "Mr. Queen", the Emperor always loved the "Former" Empress and the "Man-Possessed" Empress never developed romantic feeling on his own for the Emperor. Tbh, the Emperor didn't even know it was a man in his Empress body until the very end. If you read too much into it, it's more a you-problem than anything.

For a deadly punishment that went extra difficult because of the Evil Scumbag nº4, ML being completely unscathed felt really weird for some reason. ^^'

I mean we saw blood when the birds literally pierce through his entire body multiple time and the next scene he is completely chill riding a horse at max speed ? He didn't even split blood like MLs always do. :P

I also loved how Evil Scumbag nº3 lectured Evil Scumbag nº1. He really spoke truth after truth facing his own death! Of course, Evil Scumbag nº1 lost his sh*t because deep down, he knew he was spitting fact. In the end, he sadly still choose to be delulu & made a deal with Evil Scumbag nº2 (I was hoping for a redemption arc but I don't see that coming now).

Anyway, I hope we will have some fluff before all those Evil Scumbags scheme against the leads AGAIN.

But isn't he "alive" ? The Princess happily danced with his "energy" once she wore the hair pin.

Transmigration & reborn stories are a big no no in C-Drama because of an incident that happened to many young Chinese schoolgirls believing they would "revive" in a better world once they killed themselves because of a drama they watched.

So now, drama that have those plot line need to be censored mostly as "it was all a dream" -> FL (or ML) waking up in their real world like nothing happened.

Shouldn't matter either way as seriously I don't understand the concept of age with Korean actors. They all look freaking young most of the time that I can't fathom guessing their age unless I read their bio. The only thing that could rube me in the wrong way is a romance drama involving a minor actor with a much older one.

Last week trailer was pure ragebait but I'm glad they didn't add a cheating subplot (or a misunderstanding about it as it was already used with the former ex girlfriend in the hotel). Anyway I really didn't feel like you as I loved today episode.

As for this week trailer, it seems we will see Jealous Tuo again. :D

Obviously, it isn't Junxi's kid but his nephew & I'm looking forward to see the secret in "Secret Relationship" disappear gradually with apparently Junxi's Brother discovering their relationship (probably by the nephew who will tell that his Uncle slept in the same bed with Tuo innocently ? Just a wild guess).

You healed my broken heart! Thank ! <3

Don't hesitate ! You're in for a treat ! :)

I don't think it will ruin it but for sure I miss their "honeymoon" era. I hope they will snuggle again quickly. :)

I'm enjoying this more than Moonlight reunion and I'm saying that even if I think Moonlight is really good. Probably because the leads in this drama have the sweetest relationship & they really don't shy away to show it! :D

Don't know about the novel, but here they actually never reborn as their "second life" was all a dream. Once they "died" they just wake up in their original life. Tbh, it's probably just to avoid censorship (Reborn story is a big no no in China) so it's probably different in the novel but it's the only explanation in this drama.
