I have to comment on the quality of the production. The filler flashbacks have been minimal, as of episode 36. This is prevalent in C-dramas. The flashbacking was also rarely used. This gives this production high marks. The only flaw is the extraneous singing or BMG in the episodes at almost every turn. If the director kept the editor and music supervisor from music saturation, the production values would be in top 90%. With four more episodes to go, I have raised my overall ratings to 8.5.
Also, the streaming site should tell the subbers to refrain from subbing the songs every time. These songs are repeated in the episodes, and often overlay dialog, which makes the subbed dialog incoherent. Since they already subbed the song once, they don't have to do it every time. If they are playing two songs per episode, due to contractual obligations, the songs would be effective, overlaying the opening and closing credits.
I don't think Gaolang disliked Zhou Ye in the beginning because he was a concubine's son. I believe it was because…
🤣🤣 I could swear that someone in the earlier episode said ZY was not acknowledged as a son, while his other brothers were. I thought the others were legal sons, and he was an outside son. I was looking at Old Zhou's side profile in episode 35 or 36, and he looked like ZY. Good casting of the two actors!
I'm glad they didn't drag their reunion to the last episode I hate when they do this in other drama
I figured out that Emperor would be gone soon, when he was coughing two episodes ago. His mistake was not telling his best friend that he would be dead in a day.
Bahahaahahah I know you are very filial. You must be very worried. Then say no more. How about this ?Deputy minister…
That demotion in front of the ministers was too funny. From deputy minister to Sick Nurse! Does he have to empty her potty? The mighty has fallen! I wonder how much was the pay cut.
Ikr, he is just an ignorant id*ot and does not even he got payed by LXS.
If she marries CP now Emperor, she will become Consort or Empress. From prostitute to brothel and gambling house owner, to Palace VIP. She will have risen far.
The emperor could just give his only son with tons of gold and fortune to live a luxurious life but not the kingdom…
Fan Yu is no fool. He wants the title of Emperor and all the perks of the job; adulation, absurd wealth, power and omnipotence. "All hail Fan Yu, 24/7!" XD
well, he only has one son, he loves and still trusts his son. so he prepares capable people to assist his son…
Fan Yu should have been sent to the border to learn how to command the army. (Bad idea, because he would have led his army to overthrow the palace. LOL)
