He means well but sadly he has tofu for brains and has never left the palace/capital. The three brothers are only…
I think its interesting that one thing that the 5 dynasties and 10 kingdoms have in common is that their leaders tend to die before their heirs are ready to take over, explaining some of the chaos. Even in Wuyue, a politically stable vassal state saw the second king succeeded by a 13 year old who didn't even make it to 20. When Hongzuo died, both Hongzong and Hongchu were also under 20. How can we expect that much of them?

this after seeing how when he is jusg in regency he is always miss behaving bro he is rushing everything not trusting…
Yeah he was impatient - he should have just waited him out. The dude was too powerful but time was not on his side. This is called squandering a sure victory and turning it into defeat.

after watching ep27 I can finally say the 7th prince should not became king please he is actually not smart enough…
He means well but sadly he has tofu for brains and has never left the palace/capital. The three brothers are only about a year apart in age. They must all have different mothers.

why are they rushing this drama to finish? 3 episode a day is a lot to catch up
I don't see a problem with them rushing to drop episodes. We don't have to rush to watch. I am taking my own sweet time. Of course the production wants to get it all out before everyone takes off for Chinese New Year holidays, which begins on the 15th and goes on till the 23rd. I will take off until March 1 and if I hadn't hurt my knees I'd be skiing and not watch a thing.

Poor Qian Hongzuo
He was barely a teenager when he ascended the throne, overwhelmed and unequal to the task. He made so many mistakes initially unable to sidestep the scheming of the older ministers. Finally through blood, sweat and tears became a good ruler by literally working himself to death. Wu Haochen was terrific in this role but I think the sheer enormity of the task in front of him may have been better conveyed by a young actor in the beginning.

Wu Hao Chen nailed it as the emperor , I certainly want to see him in more in dramas set in ancient China ...in…
He had a very high profile main role in NIF2 but unfortunately he didn't pull it off that well and has been in support roles since.

You aren't wrong. Some actors are not cut for historical characters. The difference with the veteran actors here…
I think you hit the nail on the head. They are good actors but far from the level of the veterans. Don't worry, this comment section is a safe space for constructive criticism.

I agree. I kinda feel like they are comedic/lighthearted relief in the midst of all the dense and complex events…
They are clearly written like that to be relatable to younger audiences that may not be familiar with or otherwise enjoy this genre. While I understand some of the investors in this project are not that return sensitive, it’s still too expensive a project that it can’t afford not to try to reach as wide an audience as possible. I don’t love it but it’s mild enough that it doesn’t bother me that much.

Hahaha - maybe you have heard one of their top diplomats scold America for trying to tell them what to do - we were here before you and we will be here long after you. Persia/Iran has also said the similar things. History really puts things in perspective.

It’s probably just me…don’t get me wrong, I do love the CP development between Qian Hong Chu and Sun Tai…
Yes they do bring a super modern vibe to the show.

They say history repeats itself is so true. And I love learning about Chinese history because after so many dynasties…
What is even more clear to me is that since time memorial it is the evil old men with too much power who have lived so long they forgot how to be human who do the most harm to the world.

Hu Jin Su’s son is such a mood 🤣🤣. He just wants to peaceful in his life
He's kind of a funny character - he always looks as if he fears his head will soon be separated from his neck bc of his father.

To be honest, after reading a bit of the history over the weekend, all the Qian kings were scared of Hu Jinsi.…
He is more likely history's evidence that heroes die young and cowards live to a ripe old age. Although I came across an online post today that argued that actually he wasn't that cowardly. Song dynasty was founded in 960 and although Wuyue was nominally a vassal state, they did not get formally absorbed into Song until 978. So his surrender may not have been as willing as it looks at surface. Interestingly, Song Taizu/Zhao Kuangyin's reign ended in 976. So it was his brother Taizong that forced Hongchu to submit. Maybe the friendship/bond between Kuangyin and Hongchu that the drama kind of bends history to make happen really did exist between the men.

He is a fascinating character. I mean first of all his age - in those times short life expectancy 90 is 1.5-2.0 lifetimes for most normal people. How can someone like that be so greedy and power hungry? Maybe he was demented and they didn't know how to deal with that brand of crazy way back then. But yeah, in some sad kind of way it makes sense - in war time the generals are powerful bc the kings/emperors need people to protect them. I guess the Qian kings should be grateful the guy was already old and his heir apparent was dumb and weak or else Hu would have seize the throne for sure.

I think its doing fairly well with history buffs. But the confusing beginning and some of the more opaque political…
Hopefully yes. Let's see how they deal with the more "controversial" history.

After Feng Dao, Hu jinsi is the spotlight character of the drama. they are far better written than ML, but lately…
To be honest, after reading a bit of the history over the weekend, all the Qian kings were scared of Hu Jinsi. Even Hongchu did not dare stand up to him. He only stood up for his brother's life, he pretty much let him kill everyone else. Dare I say it - the real Hongchu struck me as rather cowardly and certainly not the kind of guy who would dare try stab Zhang Yanze in the back as the drama made him out to be.
