She is on the island to find out what happened to him and it is indeed likely he died there. I saw some clips that look like the two girls clash. But hopefully I am wrong, hard to tell with these clips.

Title Ancient Detective Spoiler
It'd be really cool if zhan shi qi and ming yue became good sisters
I have a bad feeling she killed or did something bad to ming yue's brother so my fear is that the ladies cause a rift in the bromance. Hopefully I am wrong.

Title Winter Begonia Spoiler
I know this was set in tumultuous times but the way so many characters are getting killed off is starting to feel gratuitous. I start each episode now wondering who's next.

When it first aired, it got stopped halfway due to censorship crackdown. It took more than 6 months for the rest…
Everything from 53-65 was never aired so I assume something related to overthrow of the kingdom. Maybe it was just bad luck all costume drama was banned into the 70th anniversary and this one happened to be airing at the time. The good news is they have now released everything.

Title Serenade of Peaceful Joy Spoiler
1. in the drama, because emperor doesn't have that kind of feeling toward empress, unlike his feelings toward…
Yeah she was pissed off he made her wait all night and she very gently taught him a lesson that he shouldn't disrespect her. But if she knew him she would have got it that it was a big tactical mistake. I think this is going to be a frustrating relationship and possibly a frustrating show. The emperor is a pompous ass that hides behind his high morals and righteousness. Despite all his high talk and denials he was really put off at the idea of marrying a plain or ugly woman. The period is interesting but I am not sure I want to continue with a show where I don't really like the main protagonist.

Title Serenade of Peaceful Joy Spoiler
i know this story is more about emperor renzhong, not heroine empress cao. i haven't read the novel, but a friend…
This is the kind of show I can only watch on weekends when I am not stressed so I am gonna lag behind this thread. My observation after the first 5 episodes is this emperor is just never gonna be that into the empress. Not ony would it be somewhat historically inaccurate but consider what he went through - he had to suck it up to the empress dowager, a most competent and itelligent woman who happily usurps his authority in the guise of Confucian duty to the dead emperor. If I were him, I would keep at bay women like Cao and surround myself with airheads to avoid enabling another smart but power hungry empress like the plague. Yes, even if she supposedly loves him because people like her would not be people like her if she didn't love herself more first. And from what I can see, she is intelligent, capable and ambitious. I love that but it just is not going to work for him and I can't fault him for that. This is a doomed relationship from the get go. Truth is this story was changed from the original princess +eunuch love story and staying true to history is a constraint such that there isn't that much material here for a romance. So anyone watching for that is gonna be let down. I haven't quite figured out why I am watching but I am only 5 in so I am gonna watch a few more but I don't ship the emperor and empress so that is not a deal breaker for me.

Seeing you watching this, gives me confidence to start this series. :D
You are too kind as always - I hope you like it :).

Hey nice response! Just wanted to add tho: the reference 官家 to address the emperor was, during the Song dynasty,…
I can't help but wonder whether the use of the more informal 官家 is a deliberate and subtle slight and intended to suggest that the emperor is effectively a puppet to the dowager empress regent. If it bothers you imagine how it must inflame the emperor who is well educated and must pick up on the incorrect and slightly less respectful tone of address used by all and sundry in the court.

Wow that was an amazing kungfu fight scene between Shang Xirui and his brother. This show continues to surprise and delight and Yin Zheng is just fantastic.

Does anybody know if Iqyi will release the rest of the episodes in eng sub and when? ?? My chinese is too poor…
Viki is also translating this but it is slow at about 28. It is usually the best translation and has explanations of literary or cultural references. I don’t usually care about subs but for something like this I plan to go back to rewatch some of the opera scenes on Viki just to read the explanations.

Not to mention signing contracts without reading them.
I was being facetious and I didn’t at all say he is not good looking but it is fair to say he is known for his brain no?
Replying to popi Apr 17, 2020
Is there a strong love story here? Or is it mostly political/revenge story?
Yes but the love story is not as important as the father-son relationship.

Let's face it - Tang Fan got the brains and she got the good looks. And Dr Pei can see better than he can think...

This is a description that makes me want to watch the drama. I really, really hope it's like that, and if it is,…
It’s about a way of life and tradition that is changing and it’s a much bigger story than the relationship between the two main protagonists. Well worth watching. Hope you enjoy it.

Title Miss Truth Spoiler
I was actually wishing she'd end up with Su Fu. He's an assassin yes, but the man literally gave a sliced of his…
Ah yes... been there, done that... There is something so right about Mr Wrong, isn't there? I preferred Xiao Song from the beginning and I never really liked Ran Yan but the one area where I kind of got her was her infatuation with Su Fu. At the end of the day, its a rite of passage.
