Okay, as much as I love love love this drama, I'm getting a bit tired of these slowmo music video moments where…
They played two songs in one scene. Now, that's overkill. I hate when they start singing in any scene, but two songs back to back? Really, Director and Editor? Are we watching a concert?
RJ & HJH deserve each other. They will get what deserve at the end. I wanted to punch them with their evil plan…
Although the drama has a disclaimer, "This is a work of fiction", at the beginning of every episode, it might be rare for the female to become Empress.
"In general, Chinese succession can be classified as postmortem and father-to-son. The emperor selected a successor from among his sons. There was a strong preference for the eldest son of the empress. If the emperor did not have a son, he could adopt, usually from a relative of the same clan. The realm was never divided among heirs."
All of the best doctors at the Emperor's disposal could not cure Lord Ding, the emperor's precious brother, but…
One has to wonder why Mu could not cure both Ding and Emperor early in the drama. When she became an official, Emperor could have assigned her to the medical department in R&D. Emperor seemed to have the dreaded cough ailment.
Omg episode 29-30 was so good. I was really scared they were going to continue the "noble" idiocy trend when LD…
Empress Dowager suddenly looks twenty years younger. They erased the wrinkles that she had in her first scenes. I'd like to get some of that magical makeup.
Has anyone noticed that Dowager Empress has suddenly looks twenty years younger since her first appearances in the drama? After looking at the daily rushes, the actress realized she looked so old, and probably told the director to make her look younger.
Actress is 47 and Actor playing her son (Emperor) is 47. In real life, she would have been 0 years' old when she gave birth to the son. LOL
I don't believe that's her real age. Some older performers report a fake age in the industry.
Zheng Guo Lin(Liu Ju) is 47, and she's 47. LOL In real life, she would have given birth to him when she was 0 years' old. ROFL
If Emperor's sons are 18 or less, Emperor must be at least 36, and Mother must be at least 52. Is Princess about 21? Emperor would have been 15 when she was born. So, Princess should be older than 1st Prince Chen, now Emperor.
I can’t believe that empress Fowager is only 47 years old. She is only two years older than me but looks so…
In the beginning, she looked old, with wrinkles on her face. She looked to be in her 60's or 70's. In the latest batch of episodes, when she is center stage with Princess, Ding and Emperor, she looks twenty years younger. When they looked at the daily rushes at the start of the production, the actress might have complained that she looked too old, and they adjusted her makeup.
Episode 30: That Zhi Jian is stupid AF. He revealed Lord Ding's suspicion of Princess to her, and caused Zhi Mo to become a casualty of his actions. He always acts impulsively and rashly, so his stupid act comes as no surprise. He's not a team player obviously, and he has no concept of teamwork and collaboration. Zhi Jian should go off, and stab himself.
