QAS

The scenery when Xie Zheng was looking down the valley at the village in the far distance was beautiful. Stark white snow, and dark, almost black forest or rocks and the bright sky was breathtaking.

She said that Yan Zheng writes simple words, as if he thinks she doesn't know how to read. That means that she is literate.

I was applauding when the aide got stabbed in the back. He was rude and belligerent to Qi Min.

The snow on the ground looks fake.

Top madman is hilarious. Someone mentioned the Emperor also has some issues. Mother Song and Song Yan might also be cray cray.

It looks like Emperor Sui, father of the Sui princes, might be cray cray, too.

I think she will miss the point reading the comments, if she doesn't know what is going on in the drama.

I feel bad for him when he keeps coughing in every other scene. I think he might have TB, and the writer is trying to make a point.

And tall! LOL Cameraman had to make sure he captured the feathers in frame, since XZ was on a horse.

MDL is a good source to track all your dramas. When I joined about four years ago, I went back, and flagged all the K- and C-dramas and movies that I had watched previously. I think I forgot about 10%. When you find actors who you like, you can search for their other dramas. Before long, you will be watching more dramas than you ever imagined.

The two feathers instead of horns was a statement. I didn't understand the artwork with the long feathery things in the opening credits until I saw his grand entrance in episode 17. Is it supposed to represent a falcon's feathers? I know he is attached to his falcon. I have seen it on Andy Lau's stage costume.

His red dress and matching Revlon red lipstick, and his braids were outstanding in Wanted Detective.

LOL I said the same thing. I don't know who's who on the food chain, and who's good and who's bad. All I will say, is, "whoever is Yan (Xie) Xheng 's enemy is my enemy".

You should watch the Maid on the Drama Box English YouTube channel. They consolidated the mini episodes into seven episodes, approximately 50 minutes each. I watched it in one day. It had a happy ending. The sound editing was not the best, but you can still appreciate the story. He is the ML.

I think the lantern story went on too long. She wanted an excuse to beat him up.

I agree. The writers wanted to give Song Yan an episode.

Is the ML uncle, Wei Yan, Prime Minister?

Yan Yi Kuan
Wei Yan [Prime minister of Yin]

I remember this actor as Kevin Yan, but I don't recognize the photo.

I forgot to list Han Hao Tian as Zhuo Ran Li Huaian's subordinate.

The aide is cute. I remember his face from another drama.

He didn't seem narcissistic in the beginning, but now that he is the Magistrate's chosen one, I guess he thought he could easily manipulate Chang Yu. He is his mother's son, definitely. He hasn't taken the imperial exam yet. I hope he fails. The village will vilify him. LOL
