To be honest, I think he was using her from the very beginning. He used her feelings for him to help him get to…
It could also be the difference between the novel and the show. At least from what I've heard, he was a complete scumbag who didn't feel guilty in the novel whereas in the show he seems to have loved her? So maybe for the sake of not changing the plot too much, they kept scenes that would align with his character more from the novel than from the show? That's just my theory. Cause even the grandma apparently didn't care about her, but in the show she does. But still didn't visit her for 10 years?? So I think this must have to do with the changes in the show
Both of them hasn’t realized that they like each other. I can’t wait for that moment.
To be honest, I don't think she likes him yet. He definitely likes her right now but hasn't realized it. But I don't think she's developed feelings just yet
Ok both leads are in Luoyang….now can there be more interaction there? Love our Duke’s fan martial arts skills.…
I don't think he's shady. I think he was just awkward around her given their history. And if it turns out that he was involved in some corruption, then I'm thinking he was probably framed by the Li family or at least instigated
I really loved this. Both couple's chemistry was so good. And I didn't pay attention that the killer is also romantic was related content and watched this immediately after finishing TKIAR I do wish though that we had more backstory on the butterfly curse and even the sister nonetheless, it was great, and if we had more backstory it probably wouldn't be a short length series
I thought the same thing! With the archery and also the Qin playing kinda reminded me of the rebirth of the empress…
To be fair that's because she reincarnated and realized that the mistake she made cost the lives of too many people. She woke up, that's why I like her cause she's "perfect" in a world of realistic characters. But I can also see why people wouldn't like her character because she's not relatable
Exactly! I don't know why they try to portrait that grandma as loving. In a book she is acting the same as here,…
It's probably because she misses familial warmth that she's taking everything she's saying to heart. But she's no loving grandma, she's just a matriarch.
The horrible scheduling is back. How are we supposed to survive with only an ep? 😭 Grandma Jiang is full of it! If she cared so much, why didn't she at least send her trusted people to check up on JL in those 10 years? She just assumed that since she's sending her some gifts she should be fine? Now she's even telling her to take care of the same sisters scheming against her? She actually asked her if she knows her mistakes?! She wanted her to keep her sisters out of trouble when she was busy being drugged and framed by the same sisters! But it's all about the face of the family. Honestly even Mrs Lu, when she first arrived at Zhenv hall, she never mentioned JL, if she hadn't brought it up on herself to make her presence known, she might have gone back without seeing her so called dear friend's abandoned child. There are very few people who aren't hypocrites in this show, especially in the Jiang family. I also wouldn't be surprised if Jiang Rui also never attempted to contact JL for fear of her stepmom
I feel like they combined the palace scene from malicious empress with the palace scwne today
I thought the same thing! With the archery and also the Qin playing kinda reminded me of the rebirth of the empress of military lineage, her playing a melancholic melody showing her tragic life. There's a few similarities here and there. It's interesting
He's not yet to the point where she's his top priority
I do wish though that we had more backstory on the butterfly curse and even the sister nonetheless, it was great, and if we had more backstory it probably wouldn't be a short length series
