Nunu T

I’m gonna look out for those scenes but I definitely remember the scene with the argument at the end! I found that so precious lol!

I think that’s the beauty of this story because initially you don’t see them together at all! You’re wondering like how 🤔 but they don’t shove it or force it in our faces, we see the natural progression and growth of each character. I think the moment he fell in love with her was when she advised him to try and do more with his life for the sake of his daughter. You know when their ship was ambushed! I’ll tell you scene and EP when I get there but that’s when I think he fell for her in a romantic way.

That truly enraged me !! Lol I’ve started rewatching and oh my, Minglan’s Mum death… truly painful! They didn’t even let her have a drop of water .

Yes I completed and understood their tactics but I thought that was a very dangerous game to play considering she was like 8 months pregnant and the medical care then is nothing compared to now! Like they literally played with her life and the life of their children just to fish out the evils! I think the Empress Dowager who was behind it all should have had a worst punishment! I mean for someone who lived through her own husbands attempted over throwing, for her to know what that concubine was planning or if she was behind it, I’m not too sure but to not do anything about it was WICKED behaviour! I mean she pulled the strings!

That Maid element I chose to ignore because honestly I was IRATE! I mean she started that fire !! How could she escape!!! Honestly made me so mad! With regards to Milan, I feel like she got her just desserts in the end! Her husband literally had an affair with her maid and she lost her baby and couldn’t give birth! In those days, I think humiliation within elites was more punishment than any physical harm could have done. What she wanted the most, Status, became her punishment in the end. But in terms of her family accepting her, I mean, in the end, she ended up almost being outcasted by her whole family but they chose to still accept her, I think that would make her change her ways in the end. So there was a redeeming arc there IMO

It’s been added to my list of comfort dramas. It will definitely be rewatched min 8 times 😂

You mean wait a couple of weeks right? Lol. Dramaland is full at this time of the year so I’m going back to the classics, I will be rewatching again by next week. It’s really a comfort drama. 😂😂

This is my second attempt at watching this, now on episode 5 and I have no idea what’s going on! I already rated this a 5 from my first attempt at watching it but I way decrease my rating even further. SML is ANNOYING! STALKER MUCH? You met her for half a second ten years ago, GET A GRIP! If this show doesn’t get a move on by the end of this episode it’ll be dropped because I’m bored now. It’s beginning to become a waste of time! And I love PMY!!!

I forgot to mention, yes there is a separation period when ML’s arrogance gets the better of him but even in that he still shows love to her. It’s at this point he understands her fully though so this aspect was necessary considering the overall plot. Honestly if you take the time to grasp the plot fully, as I mentioned, this one is a gem of a drama!

I wouldn’t really call it a love triangle but it’s a Palace drama so it’s basically the crown princess trying to rekindle her relationship with the crown Prince (ML) after years of her being selfish and not showing him any affection but the when FL comes and from warnings from her family member who is a supervisor in the kitchen where FL works, she changes her mind but by that time CP isn’t interested and his full focus is on FL! The main issue between Crown Princess and FL is how their histories entertained because FL should have been Crown Princess but due to lies told by current crown princess family, and her leaving the palace it’s taken from her so it’s a story of her trying to also find her identity when she was basically bred to be a noble , future Empress ! So you could say FL didn’t know anything else but to love him, she’s always loved him but he didn’t recognise her this she held back her love and wanted him to recognise and understand her… it’s actually a very beautiful story if you take time to understand it! The culinary genius in it just amazing! I’m going to go watch it again now after talking about it lol. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Because people are haters! It’s honestly in my top 5 dramas that I enjoyed most. Always puts a smile on my face

EP. 73- Final Comments. A good Show.

But I still stand by my previous statements! That filler storyline was outstandingly unnecessary! I’m not satisfied with how Minniang died! After humiliating him at every chance she got, those lies that were spewed, the public defamation, I don’t know maybe I’m sinister and I require a more gruesome and torturous end for those who wrong me, but that’s me.
The Father and his obsession with Reputation !!! Great comedic element but my goodness!!!
The Wang Old Madam… I WANTED MORE!!!!!!

But overall a Good Show! Very entertaining! Kept me captivated for all 73 episodes without skipping! Even when I was frustrated!
Great watch for the patient!!

This Emperor must have forgot when he was afraid to take the throne!!! I’m actually quite irritated by these last few episodes!

EP. 71… So the Emperor is an unjust Emperor and going against the Imperial Laws of the Empire? The other people beat the drum for a whole 20 seconds and they were quickly rushed in along with their evidence to make unfounded claims… they didn’t even call the victim but found him guilty, took his title and exiled him? But the victim comes with her complaint and evidence and the emperor left her for a day and a half and a night and refused to listen to her! And then the Empress has some stupid words of no wisdom? Reassigns like this is exactly why you should always let the emperor die! T because once you save their measly lives, that sacrifice becomes meaningless! An Emperor can openly favour a consort and defile Imperial Laws to cover for her but cannot openly favour an officer who basically handed him his life? I really hate when great storytelling becomes mediocre! Even if the end is a big “WOW IT WAS ALL PLANNED” … Okay, but why the in between stupidity? Why the nonsense middle story that made zero sense? These people were BOLD enough to come into Morning Court and LIE !!! All based on the fact they believed that protecting reputation was greater than the punishment received …. WHAT TYPE OF PRIMITIVE LOGIC IS THAT? Thieve last few episodes are honestly getting on my nerves now because of the concept… Protect Reputation even if it’s a bold faced lie, take the punishment ! To think the Emperor met GTY (MG) WHILE HE WAS ROAMING WITH HIS DAUGHTER IN SEARCH OF HIS SON !?! DID YOU GET AMNESIA? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SCAR ON YOUR CHEST AND THE WITNESSES FROM YOUR MANOR AND YOUR OLD AREA WHEN ZMN RAN AWAY WITH YOUR SON? YOU HAD POSTERS UO AROUND THE CITY …WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THAT EVIDENCE? Nope as I end the series, the rating is decreasing more and more for me! Started brilliant, just a normal story about ancient life focused on an illegitimate daughter turned into mediocrity! WO PEH!

I was hoping for a child at least especially during the festival when they were being wished many children etc… I was thinking the ending would be SMZ playing with their son or even if it was them riding in the dessert, I wanted shot of her with their son even if it’s 40 years later. I feel an ending like that would have been a very satisfactory ending… bittersweet because at least YZJ legacy will live on. The Yans have literally all died as he was the last one so his legacy doesn’t even survive? Nah extremely sad ending. Painful even. The ending left me very dissatisfied especially after everything we’ve been through 😭😭😭😭

Who rated us down? Haters are real and alive!

I finished it when express came out but I didn’t get a chance to update here. Amazing story and Amazing story telling! Amazing actors and actresses who did wonders with this… im only just disappointed with the end. I felt a little dissatisfied! Like we all knew YZJ was going to die, yes… but then why was there that scene wishing them children and all of that? I thought oh maybe they would have a child together to continue the Yan line at least because that then means the Yan line has died with YZJ and that’s no retribution! At least let their legacy live on. I feel like I would’ve had more satisfaction if the end was SMZ travelling with her son YZJ junior or something to continue BOTH their legacies… the end seemed rushed and confusing… EVERY OTHER PART - SOLID 9.5.

Just coming to quickly vent my anger at the last couple of episodes! Maybe it’s my impatience or my lack of tolerance for stupid story telling but WHAT IS HAPPENING? Ep 68 -70 so far… I mean, can we all stop with the stupidity to salvage the Sheng family Name please! So you’re telling me, it easier for MG to go to prison on BLATANTLY FALSE ACCUSATIONS rather than simply explain why that deranged Wang woman was trying to kill SML? I mean her father already justified the simplicity of the repercussions for the Sheng Family when he stated during the Wang interrogation when they were discussing going to court that at most his wife would be laughed for 2 years and they would still be able to live their lives as they were the victims! Furthermore, the Wang Woman went further to commit even more Gregory’s atrocities… WHO WOULD BELIEVE THE WANG FAMILY? MG is absolutely patronising! SO THEYVE HUMILIATED YOU TWICE USING THE EXACT SAME METHOD! THE EXACT SAME! Nothing changed in the method and they had the audacity to tell the big lies in front of the EMPEROR and what you’re kidding and laughing and relying on favour from the emperor? SIR, DON’T PISS ME OFF! Just so this part alone, I can’t give this story a 10 because they need to MORE THAN WOW ME IN THEIR COME BACK! For The AUDACITY of these people, I want to see 1000 cuts type sentencing! I’ve endured some of the silly storylines for this long and I’ve been engrossed. SML can be a little stupid at times, like some things need fast action, kill it at the source immediately, but instead they let it foster and foster and harm themselves, WHY WOULD YOU HARM YOURSELF!?! For a bigger fish? T catch the small fish so you may eat until the big fish appears! If you keep waiting on the big fish, what happens? You Starve! In other words, if you continue to wait for a big fish before you eat, you harm yourself which is what I’ve gathered so far with this drama. I think the method worked the first time with the Lin Woman, she had no power… but when she married MG, why are you still acting like you have no power and using customs and traditions as excuses but you’ve BEEN breaking ALL the rules! You care about public opinion but you don’t care about public opinion…. I’m I’m confused PICK A DAMN STANCE AND STICK TO IT! You acknowledged an evil doer as your Mother and allowed her to stay in your home but you moved out and had separated… The Emperor didn’t force you to break the wall as between your manor, you chose to do that knowing this person wanted to harm you. It’s an enjoyable drama but the holes I’ve seen are bigger than the mouth of a whale and I would’ve kept my mouth shut and gone along with everyone else if they didn’t begin to frustrate my patience in these last few episodes… you got trapped in a state of lies and you’re choosing to sit in it and ask for an amicable separation? AGAIN, DON’T PISS ME OFF! RANT OVER! I’ll update again when I finish these last three episodes! 73 episodes and I’m telling you if I’m not screaming by the end of this, I’m going to need someone to give me the contact details of one of the producers as I need to be compensated for time wasted! Tell a good story and tell it til the end! Don’t ruin a good story by dilly dallying with pedantic nonsense in order to fill the time!

Someone wrote that she’s taken ZZH death as another shield in her request for revenge. To me it’s clear CSJ has no purpose. Her priorities can shift at any given moment. Initially it was a quest for the tribute pearls in which she was blocked along every way to the point of the ruin of her family. The fault initially lay on DW who she wanted to kill but then shifted her aim at YZJ. Then it was getting back her family’s pavilion in which we saw her need for revenge towards YZJ dissipated as she felt comfort in gaining back what she lost, then she dove into trading in stolen jewels, and ZZH love and need to protect her led to his ultimate demise and now her excuse to continue down the path of no return is ZZH death … but I’m confused as to why she lied to ZJR because if she would have testified in that moment, she would have avenged him right there and then. Her choices are really led by irrationality more than anything at this point. And her fall is eminent.

IF SMZ IS NOT FOUND BY THE END OF EP. 37… WE RIDE AT DAWN !!!!!!!!!!

I take back my comment about CSJ… I’m commenting as I watch …

CSJ IS EXACTLY WHO WE THINK SHE IS LIKE SOMEONE PREVIOUSLY COMMENTED!

NO REDEMPTION FOR THR STUPID! WHAT !!???!!!!

GIRL YOUR DADDY DIED COS OF YOU…. NOW YOUR MAN DON TURNED AGAINST HIS FAMILY AND GOT KILLED FOR YOU .., AND STILL NOTHING ???? YOUR HEART ENCASED IN ICE AND PUT IN A STEEL BOX?? GIRL WAKE UPPPPP !!!!

TSOPG … WE’VE SEEN ENOUGH DEATH !!! NO MORE PLEASE!!!!

I actually wanted ZZH to survive so badly! That wine hurt to see too. I know he was a dick but that’s cos he’s a pampered rich kid … I felt bad for him and CSJ … maybe she might change now !
