For the conclusion of the drama? She just finished doing makeup for the drama she’s currently filming a few hours ago so she won’t post for awhile … maybe during her break or even tomorrow if she’s too tired after work.

It’s just her coming back to her hometown and memories of its people and those are the ones waving at her all happy. You see that warm dazed glow and then when she get to her house it’s normal coloring again and everything is clear.

Do you basically didn’t watch it 💀 also how can you say it’s your first drama of her but then say she can’t act but depends on director? How would you know if you’ve only seen her in one thing?

Was there a significant to it? It was the last gift her mom gave her for her coming of age. That was the significance of it. Otherwise no other significance tying to the past. Even in the novel she never got the hairpin back after selling it to the pawn shop.

Just from the same clan but not related by blood

Overall aspects I’d give it a 9/10 if I never read the novel. Reading the novel I’d give it an 8/10. Did fantastic at the beginning. It’s the same in the sense that they spend a lot of time in the village BUT the drama does give the pair more time together to establish their foundation. The middle of the drama fumbles big time. This would be when they separate and we see her journey into becoming a general. Working under that army’s leadership, sparring with the other soldier especially one guy who looked down on her to becoming one of the many squad leaders. Watching her leadership in the battles, that one guy that looked down on her changing his outlook of her and gaining his respect, saving General He, to holding out the battle for Xie army to arrive, etc. all that gone… none in the drama. The last half of the drama they tried to jam in all the politics and backstory if what happened back then. I saw some give low score on other platforms bc they understood nothing but also admit they skipped episode bc it was boring 😩

They basically cut out her whole journey and the battlefield stuff. You’ll have to read the novel it.

Not sure if it was intentional but the FL actress tends to eat the real food used for prop heartily lol I saw from the drama she’s currently filming and she ate one of the tangerine but she shakes the peel back into its shape had placed it back on the plate 😂

Yup. He was a true villain where as all the other “villains” are products of past actions

They are related by blood not close related like siblings, just a position in the royal lineage.

The other two platform it airs on has express package where they can pay and watch the rest of the episodes. Netflix follows the regular secdule of basic membership of those two platforms

I’d say give it a shot. As long as you don’t go in with expectations on how characters should behave and this being a more ensemble cast lol This drama has been a lot of people’s first time watching a cdrama so there is an audience friendly aspect of it. I’d even say it’s an idol drama set in historical fiction with a looming war in the background. I’ve seen ppl get angry at the female lead character bc she’s straightforward and has a backbone in scenes where by rule of order she shouldn’t be so… flippant I guess but it is fiction. I also think it has a bit of a modern feel to it.

Like for whatever faults it has, it’s an overall great show I saw a data index for popular tv series characters and 8 of the characters are in the top 10. There was another data index of large increase in social media and 8 of the actors were in the top 10. This show went beyond one main lead or main lead couple but a whole ensemble cast 👏🏼

I LOVE Changyu always referencing thing back to her pig days lol from the dam days and rounding up those loose pigs to prevent them from informing little Sui to referring the Emperors limbs as pig trotters lol

Funny enough they cut out some characters and merged them into other characters so the screenwriter did try to consolidate some.

Song Yan! I knew he was off to the capital but wasn’t sure if they’ll weave in him from the extra chapters. In the extra chapters he keeps failing an exam and gets an opportunity to teach Changning. In the drama he gets the opportunity to teach Changyu court etiquette lol

I think I saw it for tomorrow

I like the novel and I love the drama. I hated episode 29 & 30 for its rush. Which also made me frustrated about episodes 31 & 32 bc some of those scenes should’ve been in 29 or 30 that lead up to the battle. The characters and storyline changes I’ve been fine with bc as a whole the drama has been a joy to watch. The one thing I wish they didn’t change is the dynamic is Qi Min and QQ. The women is literally terrified and had nightmares of him since their introduction. The romanticizing of this very dark toxic relationship every time it’s their screen time. My only justification for screenwriter doing this is like the begin of the show focusing time in the village. We had things from the extra chapters woven into the drama. I don’t know how they’ll do it but I’m gonna guess we’ll get a what if/second chance type of thing if Qi Min grew up normally so that we cheer it on bc we saw that twisted romance and that they deserved better

You hear stories of his rise and how he got his title throughout the show especially in the beginning when ppl thought he died. He was someone who earned his merits through the battlefield at a young age… I think his mentor said he was the youngest to earn the title. What made people fear him Changyu and him discussed at his funeral tablet in the drama (I can’t remember where in the novel) lol in the peoples fear of him was the mass killing / “slaughter” incident that many people condemn him for. They thought it was ruthless beyond necessary bc he killed surrendered enemies and civilians after a battle. In the drama they didn’t say surrendered enemies and civilians but just enemies. The drama only says killed a large number of enemies after victory and was too ruthless on the battlefield. They framed it as a harsh general

In the novel the emperor isn’t passive or weak minded. Instead he’s more calculated and builds up his own authority and try’s to balance or curb Wei Yan’s power over him.

The drama went for a more figure head… literal puppet probably to not add another layer of power struggle bc we already have it with the Li and Wei family and add on Qi Min wanting to take his rightful spot.
