I couldn't figure out who the Emperor reminded me of until episode 25 when he's talking with Zi Gu....freaking Jafar! The cartoon villain from Aladdin....yall I can't unsee it now, so neither can you. You're welcome.
Though she doesn't know everything that is happening she is fully aware that he is "playing a part" to trap the…
The girl has been having nightmares about this man before even running into him again. Yeah, she 100% believed that he was the one who sent that woman to kill her on the cliffs. He choaked her out and almost killed her to lure out Shen Yuan even when he knew the possibility that Yi Ning was Mei Mei was extremely high. She watched him use people and discard them so that he could gain power. He is not a good man and if he ever thought that he couldn't be the one to have her, he would make it so no one could.
how is that even possible unless they release all the remaining episodes all at once?
This literally happens with most(pretty sure all) currently airing Cdramas. They have express(early episodes each day) as well as fast track(bulk ending dump).
Will there be a breakup write after got together? Or are they both in the plan together? Haven't watched today's…
She knows that he is playing a part to get close to the enemy. She's worried what it is doing to his mental health as she knows his true character, and doesn't like that in "harming" others for show he is harming himself in the process.
I just watched ep 36 and 37 preview and im hoping the male lead does not harm the fl or break her heart or ruin…
Though she doesn't know everything that is happening she is fully aware that he is "playing a part" to trap the Wang guy and those harming not only ML's teachers reputations but also harming the Wei family and her father's army by their illegal smuggling/deeds.
ML also knows that the Duke, and thus FL will eventually become targets after ML got the Duke involved in the case because of the military tax funds. He is placing himself in the best position to protect them, by being the one sent to harm them. That way he can hide the truth from the Wang guy while investigating him. She knows how talented he is in martial arts and how good his aim is. I don't think she will doubt him, even after being shot at, because he isn't like Lu Jia Xue. She 100% believed LJX could have wanted her dead and never trusted him after learning his true character. Luo ShenYuan is different and she knows it.
Fingers crossed the script doesn't disappoint me in my belief in FL's faith in the ML.
Wait are they taking an air break for Samhain(Halloween)? Does China celebrate Samhain/The Day of the Dead? (I'm Pagan and celebrate Samhain...think like thanksgiving vibes as it is the end of the harvest season as we move into the darker months/winter. Also celebrating/giving thanks to the dead as without death there can be no life.)
You mean you can watch Epis 34 onwards series now?
So like...what day is that... with time differences I need to know. aka will I have the day off or am I going to be blurry eyed at work because I never slept? EDIT: Just looked at the calendar in the photo section....I have work on Tuesday....😭
She has an....ex?...best way to put it, that is obsessed with her...like cuckoo for cocoa puffs levels of delulu.…
Seriously I'm marking this as spoiler for a reason skip if you actually plan to watch and don't want to be spoiled. EX: FL's mother was treated poorly in the mansion because her husband liked his concubine more.
FL's mother is divorced from her husband and falls in love with another man who disappears leaving her pregnant with FL.
FL's mother is murdered by the wife of the First Master Luo because he was secretly in love with FL's mother.
FL is sent to a side yard at 6 and later on meets a man who is recovering from an eye injury that makes him temporarily blind. FL is "killed" by a woman from a noble family because she is jealous of FL's relationship to this man. (She comes back for a round two later on)
1st Master Luo's wife tries to kill a woman who looks like FL's mother because her husband took petty on her and brought her into the mansion for a short time.
Daughter of the first branch(1st master and his wife) likes the younger brother of 2nd master Luo's wife. The Princess Royal's son has a small crush on this daughter and she is almost forced to marry him because of her mother's scheming.
ML becomes a 3 time first place scholar and becomes every mother and daughter's marriage target. Even his own teacher's daughter tries to get close to FL so she can get info on ML.
The no longer blindman is the enemy of the ML and is constantly trying to trap the FL into being his wife now that he has confirmed her identity as the girl from the side yard. (She did actually have feelings for this other man when she was younger, but has since learned his true character and fears him.)
...any love triangle? i already find this fake siblings to lovers weird and if there's also a love triangle then…
She has an....ex?...best way to put it, that is obsessed with her...like cuckoo for cocoa puffs levels of delulu. There are roughly like 5ish love triangles so far. Most are with the third person intruding not being an actual option for one of the pair. The older generation...wellllll, they messy messy. Not as in your face love triangles but love triangles are honestly the driving force behind every major event in the FL's life. So yeah...
Drama not book explanation as the drama is VERY loosely adapted from the novel.
Before Yi Ning is born and when she is still very young Yi Ning's mother was the only truly kind person to Shen Yuan in the whole mansion. When her mother was sent to the side yard he just had his personal servant looking out for him. Yi Ning has very vague memories of him at the mansion prior to HER being sent to a side yard for like 10ish years. He sees her as the daughter of the only person who was kind to him so he would indulge her as a child and then took on the protector roll when she returned to the mansion as a teenager. He very soon finds out that they are not blood related and her birth origins puts her in very real danger. He becomes even more protective and his admiration and care turns to love and devotion.
y'all why is no one talking about the old ass emperor and the concubine??
I lot of people mention it daily after each episode. Personally think the production did a much better job at making it seem somewhat plausible and not red flag city. He gives her space and worries for her. She being young and naive to the world, is being protected by someone and she beings to worry for him as well. So yes it's going to be creepy no matter which way you slice it, but at least he treats her well and with respect. So a win is a win. Would I have preferred him treat her like a daughter instead of a a wife...1000%.
When does this drama get more interesting cause im on ep 4 and please do not come for me for saying this but i…
What are you currently in the mood for? As TaliaToo said, if by episode 4 you aren't vibing I would just move on. 'The Rise of Ning' is a bit lighter, but has more messy family drama. With birth secrets and hidden pasts etc. Pull up a Sunday 'Marcus Here' video and see if any of the top 10 web or streaming shows spark an interest.
Really disappointed with luomei, she still stupid female character ever. CP is a devil, how can you sell your…
Mei Lin was between a rock and a hard place. She was being targeted by the CP and wasn't safe anymore. Jing He knew that he was either going to win the next battle or EVERY ONE of his people will be killed, including Mei Lin. To protect her from treason charges YQ makes her untouchable without causing a full out war with Xiyan. They are now having to play out that plan until YQ is able to gain more power and/or his father finally kicks the bucket.
No. He uses rumors and misinformation to his advantage to work in the shadows. He wants people to think he is bad or morally loose so they don't take him too seriously and let their guards down. If they think he's only thinking about women and worldly pleasures they aren't paying attention to the 4D chess moves he's making right over their shoulder.
is ML a good person or a bad person in this drama?
This is based off of the drama's depiction NOT the novel. As so much has been changed the novel isn't AS important as what is told and shown on screen. He was mischievous as a little boy but grew into an honorable young man, proud to lead an army that protected the people. When he and his army were framed for a tragedy that killed 100,000 civilians the army did not fight back when the grieving masses came for them...killing all but a few in the aftermath. Jing He then hid himself and his true nature from the world to avenge the people of the city and his men. He hardened himself not wanting to have to burry another person he cares for. Because of how he meet the FL he decides that if she is willing to throw her life away to kill him he might as well make it work in his favor...Hence the first part of the title "Kill Me". His plan is put into motion before he has even had time to fully process everything. He was morally white up until ten years prior to current day where he now lives in the morally grey slipping into black when necessary. We don't really get to see the true him until episode 17-18 when he doesn't have to have his guard up. About episode 13-15(can't remember exact one...but around the mid point # wise is when we entire the "Love Me" side of the drama. As he sees more of his true nature mirrored back at him through his interactions with the FL. He lets rumors spread about him and will even start some himself. In the show it's implied that he isn't actually doing anything but pretending. He sometimes doesn't think his actions all the way through to the end point for the pawns on the board as he is so focused on vengeance for his men and the 100,000 civilians. FL knocks some more sense into him.
Episode 24 feels like a proper transition episode. This is the mid-pause before the ending arch gets into the thick of it(aka beginning of the 3rd act). Very nicely paced and touching base with everyone still on the board. Looking forward to JingHe and Mei Lin running into their "little" brother now they are back in her hometown. It was the city he overheard them talking about so I'm assuming that he is there somewhere.
Just saw this on US Netflix with all 32 eps tonight. Will start bingeing tomorrow…
It wont be finished on Netflix until the 15th of November...So just as a heads up to those who like to power through a whole drama in 2 days wait until the 14th if Netflix is your preferred platform. Happy watching.
So is Ting actually her father's bio son or is he a nephew/adopted? I think i missed the relationship breakdown. And the show keeps saying how he never married or had concubines, so I'm like dad had a one night stand and took the kid after the mother died? I need some help clearing this up in my brain.
