For me SWM and CYT romance is understandable given that she was entrusted by her father before he died to SWM…
I think both views are valid.
I also do find the romance between SWM and YT weird. I like YT being in the squad. She is a great fighter and LLF definitely needs some help occasionally. But perhaps it would be better if she's just one of the member of the squad without any romantic attachment to SWM or anybody. Personally I'd prefer that the drama be without any romance. Just platonic would be enough.
But then when I think about it maybe it's because of my 21st century brain that finds it weird. If we think about historical context, the drama is set in a specific time period which is 712 CE. In ancient time, it was quite common for a man to marry a much younger woman. In Jane Austen's Sense & Sensibility for example. Marianne Dashwood is 17 when she marries Colonel Brandon who's 35. The novel was written in 18th century. It's a weird practice for us in the 21st century but quite normal at that time. So I think, if we see it from this point of view, SWM and YT romance is still acceptable.
The drums, the cords and that epic suona climax in the end... wow, wow, wow
I love it that they share this stuff, putting a spotlight on people behind the production, which shows they really appreciate the crew behind the camera that has made this drama successful.
So far there have been two. https://weibo.com/7786809129/5057162725822671https://weibo.com/7802482933/5059646609687379
In comparison to S1 in which they didn't promote at all, this season they have taken it up a notch. But yeah still not that many photoshoots of the cast.
