Her Ex husband is bad at everything, even burying a person, he does it poorly hence allowing her to escape. That’s the only logical explanation. lol!

I am not sure how the drama will write about SiSi’s relationship with him, will have to wait till S3 to know;).

And another beautiful man in red (apart from Liu Xue Yi’s Oan Yue)😍.

I am done with first 5 ep., it’s good. Enjoy;)

Wow…seems like in the novel, the Duke is more scarier and intimidating.

There is a mistake in translation😅. Don’t think the plot has any religious theme. As the commenter above mentioned, these institution that house the women are call nunnery but has nothing to do with religion. It’s a school for the education, very common in those times.

Ah…I see. So in the drama, FL establishes that he is not a threat quicker and was bold. She must have noticed in both encounter, he was quite nice to her, even she called him ‘brainless’, if he was ruthless, she could already lost her head;).

Yeah, anticipating, she really needed it to survive all these people. I mean so far the drama tried to set it up by having many people mentioning how talented she was, now keen to see how she will use her talent on her revenge step by step. She is definitely very bold towards the Duke.

In Kunning Palace, his role as Zhang Zhe was upright and over rigid. In Scent of Time, he was a side role but always there for FL. In this drama, it’s the first time he is male lead, grey and dark. I love his portrayal and his narration of his own lines made the role more impactful. Can’t wait to see more.

Xue Fang Fei is very smart, she is quite scheming, interesting to see how she is going to plot against so many people. Apart from Tong Tong, I didn’t see any ally on her side.

Agreed. He has more room to expand this character vs the other two roles in Kunning Palace and Scent of Time. So far his every scenes are stunning and well delivered grey character. Can’t wait to see more of his performance here.😍

Hmmm…Yang Chao Yue and Wu Jin Yan really don’t look alike, but what an intense beginning.

Just started first ep., wow really impressed by the beautiful cinematography framing each scene.🤩 So excited that I am going to take my time to finish the 5 released ep.

As we aged with the show…😱3yrs is still a long wait, but shorter than the wait from S1 to S2. Sigh cya 3yrs later😅. Stay well.

🤩👍🏻

Tyvm, that’s good enough for me to know;) Enjoy your treadmill watch.

Yup exactly. Only few of them know he is the Grand Master.

Wow, very comprehensive sharing of the different elements in the plot. Thanks for the effort. Just wanted to expand on explanation about the Japanese General. Based on historical hint dropped in this show, the Japanese General was a historical vicious Samurai that killed a lot of people during that war period. He was carefully selected because of his fierce and loyal character to be buried for this ritual. The General himself doesn’t know about his own bury as it was plotted by the Japanese Sharman or Yin -Yang Master aka Onmyoji, hence in his zombie state, he still chant war. It’s a cruel thing to do, but that’s their belief and practice to curse Korea, hence Korea is now divided. An urban legend.

He is selfish and reluctant to help. But if you watch the scene carefully, he did reach for FX’s hands and camera shows some power been passed through, however he withdrew after a short while. You are right that he did not cure FX, but it did hint he pass some powers over to stabilize FX’s Qi.

How’s this drama so far? I have seen the FL is similar kind of role before and I don’t know about ML’s acting.
