QAS

Thanks for the tip on Southern Anecdote. I recognize the two MLs. They look handsome in the black uniform. I hope they have the special Zhang family skills.

I just discovered this drama. I am looking forward to the broadcast date. It will be nice to see the connections to Zhang Qilin and Zhang Qishan!

The blog is active, but the original ladies moved on. The recaps are under Old Nine Gates. You can check out a few episodes when you have time. The recaps and comments were just as funny. All the squeecaps were written by the ladies. There might have been five ladies.

The villains were very chatty. 😆😆😆 It would be nice if the director and producer could re-edit the drama, and trim the story down to 30 episodes. They could remove all the filler and flashbacks, shorten the tomb adventures and shorten the scenes with the villains. Even if there are still big plot holes, they could salvage the story. I watched it mainly for the Handsome Four and ZLY.

I followed a blog site, Problematic of the Unproblematic, during the drama, nine years ago. The web mistress and her associates had the funniest episode recaps of M9. They called Chen Pi, the Nose. Even though the filler and flashbacks irritated me immensely, I can still recall 90 to 95% of the drama. I can't say the same for dramas I have watched in the last few months. 😁😁😁

Sad that Zhang Yixing has not made dramas recently.

They could play brothers in a drama. I thought the same thing about them. I thought they had a similar facial structure. Both good looking men, too!

I also had a thought that Master was her father. He treated her like she was his beloved child. She and Crazy Princess could be sisters. 😁😁 He is my most favorite character in the drama. I am glad for the flasbacks for the first time in a C-drama.

I saw Hu Yun Hao in Love in the Clouds. Yes! He has become better looking. Back in the M9 days, viewers kept calling him, The Nose.

I liked Liu Yu Ning in the Tomb drama. I remember the black glasses. It made his character stand out among the cast. 😎😁

Why Is He Still Single? (他为什么依然单身) is a remake of Japanese drama He Who Can't Marry (結婚できない男) starring Abe Hiroshi back in 2006. I believe this is also a remake of the 2009 K-Drama, The Man Who Can't Get Married with Ji Jin Hee, and that was a hilarious comedy drama.

I believe this is the Cdrama remake of the Kdrama

Is the crazy princess, Ghost King's biological daughter? She was adopted by Empress Dowager, but is Dowager, her birth mother?

She's probably obsessed with him, even though she is presenting consort candidates to him. I was glad when he shut her up immediately. I can't believe she barged into Empress' mansion. What if they were naked in the room? 🤣🤣🤣

Maybe he lost weight. You can see the change in his face.

ML might know that Grand Tutor is plotting something, and is going along with him. Ghost King knew something was up, and became a self-sacrifice. Ghost King was actually a likeable person.

Father's title is Grand Tutor, but he seemed to be controlling Emperor, demanding that Emperor marry his daughter to become powerful. I don't get why Emperor was going along with the Grand Tutor's plot. I would have have expected the Prime Minister to be the most powerful individual in the court.

The tattoo is too cute. Zhong Lin is an anime artist. Hahaha!

Ren Jia Lun as Xiao Huan / Bai Chifan (voiced by Bian Jiang)! You should look up Bian Jiang on dramawiki. His resume is prolific.

I also was doing some side-eye, eye-rolling with the characters and dialog. It might be the directing.

Same with me, while I was watching the first four episodes. I had some eye-rolling moments with the acting or dialog. The director might have directed it that way.

I watched the first four episodes of Love and Crown, and there are some eye-rolling moments with the acting and the dialog. Gala Zhang might be my most favorite actor in the cast. I am wondering if Prince Xiao Qian Qing and Zhong Lin will end up as a couple. It sounds like Cang Cang calls Bai Chi Fan, Xiao Bai, when they have met very recently.
