In the drama, have Gu Ping Yuan met Li Wan Tang yet? I can't remember. 😣
I guess so since he was the eldest and must have some recognition of his father. I haven't read the novel, someone else told us the story but I think he'd left about 20 yrs ago, maybe in drama they extend it since they're supposed to be older.
Considering GPY's father, when I think about how fondly his mother spoke of her unique wedding dress and how her husband had sold his precious paintings and calligraphies to afford it, their outcome make me so sad. Poor woman...
I agree with you - she was actually prepared to wait 10 years for Gu, she had no idea he was going to escape and…
You're right, nowadays audience can't tolerate anything in custome dramas, they complain about everything as it it. Personally I blame it on modern periods, they shoehorn all new ideas and values in old stories that are supposed to have happened centuries ago and the result is we think ancient people thought and lived like us. Really a pity...
I know the main focus of the drama isn't romance and I like it actually but I find them lacking all the same.
About Ymei and General it was very hasty, maybe they wanted to do it on-screen or something but the result is the same. She had nearly 6 yrs to move on and more than one month to have developed an attachment to the General but we have her all happy and teary eyed at seeing Gu clutching his hands (were it a Western show they would've kissed then😆) then we have her falling for another man after like a week...
Like some people, I do think she had no choice but to go to him, her reputation was ruined and she couldn't go and invite all the women and have someone examine her to prove her chastity and on top of that she had treason rumours hanging on her and her dad's and in-laws' heads. She had to think rationally and her choice was General. They could make it like she did it out of necessity not love but well...
The leader was a preacher who proclaimed himself to be the brother of Jesus Christ. I kid you not. Truth is stranger…
Ohh dear! So when they said we follow Heavenly king they meant God Almighty? I thought they meant old traditions of the Mings and Hans and found General's admonishing Ymei's prayer weird. Very interesting indeed. I should try and read something about it. It does sound incoherent, I guess different people with different motives were added to them and came together to overthrow the Manchus. More or less we had the same things in our history too.
My knowledge of this era is seriously lacking so I have to ask, who's the leader of the rebels? Like their big boss? And how Li Cheng was promoted to a prince and by what authority?

Several times.
But now I'm enjoying him in Legend of the magnate. He's so funny there.
