That's my dream... Till this day nothing can top up that adaptation so I would be very happy to see the production and director here too.

This week episodes were beautiful... I have all the feelings

I agree, it got so much better. I could not stop watching the second half lol

It was never resolved in the novel, seems like the author forgot about it. That and the fact that he frequently got out of the city doing nobody knows what are things I hope they improve in the story line of the drama. But I try not to harbor high expectations because I've been disappointed before lol.

Two moments that come to mind: First when Luo Tan goes to look for help half dead after Shen Miao's abduction and second when Shen Miao defends Xie jingxing after his friend (can´t remember his name lol), confronts him about being Prince Rui.

ohh... I'm sorry I spoiled i little bit of the story for you.

lmao you're right!

She's a commoner for now so it would be unacceptable that she becomes the main wife, also being a concubine would allow her to hide herself since she doesn't have to attend official meetings or so.

The chemistry between actors is great and the acting itself is mostly good. There's some things that may challenge your suspension of disbelief along some not so strong writing, but if you're not looking for your next masterpiece I think you would do well. It's a pretty decent watch and every week we seem to have some discussions here about characters and motivations. Not half bad imo.

Best mother in law already lol

ya, that may be an option her mother does not strike me up as stupid.

I have forgotten that second marriage attempt, you're right.

Did anyone else noticed how Qiu Yan was introduced as illiterate to male lead' mother but in the latest episode or so she talked about reading male lead manuscript lol how did they missed that in production?

I more or less liked Qiu Min in the beginning because I don't think she was entirely wrong. But what bothers me most about her is that she pulled an even meaner act than that of Qiu Yan. Like I complained in early episodes how I didn't appreciate how QY used second male lead and forced his hand in such a covert way when he believed in her feelings. And then off Qiu Min goes and rapes the man she "cares" about, for no apparent reason other than to hide the truth. She had a whole family ready to care about her, but in her selfish ass that was not enough and decided to take a man forcefully. Lol look how well that came out for her. Other than the mother of Qiu Yan nobody was treating her poorly in later episodes, but she decided to taint a man's reputation for some fleeting personal gain, just to leave him after he showed little interest in her... sigh

I'm not thinking too hard on the story so that's why I'm enjoying but even so I strongly agree on Qiu Min... Like what is going on with her character? It feels like they don't know what to do with her. The biggest problem for me is that the rules of this fantasy world (because this is in no way historically accurate), are not properly set or explained. There's an overall lack of impact in the society they live in around the things the characters do. Like Qiu Yan was seen in the streets "eloping" with a man or sleeping in the military quarters of another but she's still perfect marriage prospect(?). The lack of society rules is confusing and lessens altogether the weight of what Qiu Yan was fighting for in the beginning. It's like they tried to pull a thought provoking drama but got bored in the middle.

Don't even get me started on that one. It's even worse because she's now pestering a third party for her own gain, like you have a family(?). What she did to Qin Xuan is not better to what was done to her. Lmao and to think she called her sister egoistic.

Qiu Min is behaving atrociously towards Qui Yan. Pretty nasty of her to talk about dirty places when her own sister is willing to put her hands in the mud to save her sorry ass from the disgrace. Lmao she can protect her innocence because someone else is doing the dirty job and she dares to snub at her for that. Sis needs a reality check.

Very excited for this week's episodes after seeing the previews on youtube!

Hmmm... I kinda see where you're coming from and I agree. It's just that I've burned so many times before with characters in dramas that I'm just suspicious of their behaviour. But a really nice take on the character.

They made her kind of cartoonish imo. Like her whole personality is "the clan's rules guidebook".
