Nope.

It's gruelling. My niece has been competing in wuxia since she was 6. She can tell you how this is so so much harder to get right than it looks and than we can imagine.

He seemed so unconcerned 🥱🥱🥱bc HE didn't have a snake wrapped around him!!!🐉🐉🐉

The comic relief is much needed after the anxiety the last case triggered.

He's falling for her all over again!!!

I love that LLF is now discussing cases with her.

Don't panic!🤡 And don't struggle!!!🪱🪱🪱
ROFL - I am dead!!!🐲😆😆😆

Haha this Western Capital case is really quite funny. Love the change in mood.

True... but I also think he secretly thrills at the opportunity to call her that.

Thx for the review. I need to watch this.

Thanks for reading. Yes it is a pretty good drama. I hope you enjoy it.😍

Yeah unfortunately c-drama is not good at doing fight scenes. All the best martial arts directors are the old famous HK directors and most of the actors these days don't have proper martial arts training to pull off those kinds of fight scenes.

Good review - I share most of your views regarding this drama and esp the romance. I thought it was just me bc I don't really like romance in my wuxias but it seems its you too! I felt chemistry was lacking all around.

They both lost me in ep 1. I hate this toxic short drama influence on long form dramas.

I can't do another after Princess Gambit. Trying to watch that was like having a lobotomy.

I hope I am wrong. I am going to check back in a few days - if this kind of silly misunderstanding lasts the whole drama then this is a pass for me.

Only if he gains a ton of weight and is willing to be swaddled like a baby at her parties (An Lushan).

She was her mother Wu Tzetian's favorite and has many more allies at court as she had been knee deep in the highest level of court politics before the emperor could even waddle. They were once on good terms, even allies against common foes. He tolerated her power grab for longer than he needed to because he had lingering affection for her and his own position in court was not well established -- there were other princes and even his own father the emperor emeritus was low-key scheming against him. He is the same young emperor in YZ's last drama Flourished Peony, which featured his rivalry with his older brother.

I am just sad how LLF is going to be devastated. And I wonder how can he bring himself to ever work for this emperor.

I know fighting mythical beasts is a big feature of this genre and they are very well executed in this series. That said, my preference is always for hand to hand combat with humans. They are technically much more difficult to choreograph and shoot well.
