Ok, I've just finished the drama. It was a good adaptation. The leads' acting was on point from both of them. They gave the characters a solid characterization. The ending was good if you didn't read the novel. It was so different and it felt rushed but since most of dramas' endings literally suck, that'll do. In the novel, they continue living their life as emperor and empress, have children and stay together many years. Xiahou Dan remains weak due to the poisoning and dies before Wanyin. Wanyin rules alone, then abdicates, travels the world as she had always wished. She dies old with no regrets, just to wake up on the subway. She then search for Zhang San and finally find him as a CEO of a company. He explains that he came back in 2016 as a teenager and since then he's been waiting for her return. They book a room (^__^) and swear to live another life together. Well, I'll stick with this ending imaging it in my mind...
Sorry if you didn't want to know but I did tag this as spoiler!
someone care to explain what is funny about their name? wang cui ha and zhang san sounds like a great name to…
Well, I don't know Chinese well but the word "san" means three and for a name it kind of sucks and "Cui Ha" means to catalyze in chemical reactions. I just studied a bit of Chinese, maybe some native can explain this better...
