And yes, a very smart , strategic Female lead in non-palace setting...the intrigue is nothing short of a palace…
Because of the strict censorship regarding rebirtch stories. They are technically banned. So they have to do workarounds, like the story is a novel or a dream. They walk a fine line and i guess don't want to deal with the issues
In novel they both get punished and eventually end up dying. It's after the mother's death that the concubine plotting get exposed that the father get tired of them and start listening to Jin Chao.
I don't feel sorry for Jin Chao's mum, she should die so I don't have to see such a spineless character on my…
She is too weak and also she hasn't had enough screentime for me to feel an emotional connection to her aswell. Will feel it for Jinchao though when it happens. Sure hope she won't go easy on any of them.
Ok he is a widower but even as a widower they present him as a lonely person? I mean we all know that he must…
In the novel he had concubines, but they were arranged and he didn't have much of a choice when he was younger. He had to do it for the family before he gained power. But he didn't have too much of an interest in them and has barely been with 1. One of the concubine he haven't even slept with. He dislike their scheming amongst each other. Once he marries Jinchao he only wants to be with her. I think she was even pressured into telling him to visit the concubines but he got pissed and they had an argument.
So it seems they cut all of them out to make it less complicated. In the novel Chen Xuan Qing and and his sister is the children of the late Madam Jiang. One of concubines has a son aswell i dont remember if he had another daugher as well.
But in general for a man during that time, he was pretty restrained until Jin Chao.
Gu Lan is srsly so annoying. Can anyone spoil her ending for me please?
Drama and novel are different. But in the novel she seduces her paternal cousins fiance. Cousin ends up marrying that man as the main wife and Gu Lan as concubine and she tries to harm the cousin later and Gu Lan ends up dying.
Looking forward to see Gu Jin Chao deal with both Concubine Song and Gu Lan in the coming episodes. Just sucks we will only get 1 ep a day for friday/saturday
