☝🏻Exactly! Thanks for sharing this. This post should be pinned for future viewers, this script writer as PeachBlossom mentioned, a lot of ‘white-washing’ of Hu Jin Si’s character and dumbing down Qian Hong Zong’s character. The plot holes and inconsistency is more obvious for those who have read up on this part of the history.
Here they definitely toned down Hu and made him a loyal subject to Wu Yue.😓

🤣🤣🤣 we really must check out for the “Hu” investors in the production team.

Ah yes, ShuiQiu and Hu Jin Si cannot co-exist…it’s interesting how it’s written here for Hu Jin Si to admit his part of massacre ShuiQiu’s family and for ShuiQiu to appear so respectful of Hu Jin Si…I must say it’s gave a more humane touch to the two of them.

I feel Hong Zong is pressured to take the throne too and he just knew Hu JinSi is not easy to handle so he is just too silly thinking that with power he can just removed a minister under him. Too naive…as you see to the end he was so willing to give up the throne to his brother.

It’s really exciting to see how Qian Hong Chu work through his decision on realizing on how to subdue and tolerate Hu Jin Si…I feel very sad on what happened to Shui Qiu’s family what a tragic death😥😥😥 He could really make a suitable loyal subject to guide Qian Hong Chu.
That old man needs to be coaxed and convinced that he is tolerated because of Wu Yue and but it stops there, no more killing…well said Qian Hong Chu.

Ep27-30 was such a intense watch…Qian Hong Zong is really not a suitable candidate to be King.

👍🏻 agreed! He is a good kid but being force to wear a big hat without much guidance, which as you rightfully pointed, “work himself to death”. I feel sad on his death, he protected his brothers too.

Exactly. And in every three ep., there are so many events, really can be quite hard to digest so many info.

Hahhaha…totally get you. I absolutely don’t understand the SML syndrome 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️.

The Best Thing?? Is my guess.

???Green Flag??!!! SML??? I don’t think on this page viewers have that view maybe on other platform, there are fans who like the actor and feel he acts well, no doubt…but his character here is definitely not a green flag.

Yes, saw that news, been very hot on social media search about two girls gossiping in front of CXX’s chest😍.

Thanks for affirming😍. No intention to dismiss any actors/actresses effort😅. Stating an observation;).

👍🏻agreed with you. I do felt the same that this couple is just there to appeal to modern crowd or viewers who like to “ship” CP.😅

👍🏻well said.

I have seen CXX’s past dramas, BTS and interviews. But here with Wang Yu Wen, he is so relax and spontaneous especially when they build up their friendships at WtW.

Yeah, Bai Yu has good chemistry with all the guys🤩 in this show.

They feel like a transmigration couple stuck in ancient time😅. hahaha.

It’s probably just me…don’t get me wrong, I do love the CP development between Qian Hong Chu and Sun Tai Zhen, however whenever they are both on screen doing their scenes, I just felt like I am watching a different and more modern drama, then when it’s cut to other scenes, I am back to the show again😓😓😓.

Thus far this drama has done well with the story telling and editing on such chaotic part of history. It may seem confusing in the beginning, especially for those viewers who didn’t have the background info. on this part of history, but it’s still okay, as if one watch closely and follow the plot, the story will unfold itself. Sometimes not knowing much may be good, as there are quite many characters’ design are written and added in by the writer here. Although the main events had happened, the writer has manage to wean in the colours of the characters portrayed. This drama maybe a challenge for non Chinese speakers or even for some who may understand Chinese as it’s written in traditional Chinese language that requires one to research and understand the context that it’s spoken. So I am glad there are lots of helpful commenters here that could clarify some of these deep dialogue 😅.
