It looked iron grey to me. 😁😁

It looks like a high budget drama from the huge list of actors in the cast. They even have the Extras credited. There are also twenty people credited to Chief Producer, Producer and Executive Producer.

Me, too! He is annoying. Someone dies in every episode., but he is still around.

Luckily, she is the only old lady in the cast.

How long is Wang Pu going to be in the plot?

FYI, on the Vendetta of An Dramawiki page, there are four names attributed to Screenwriter: Shuang Cheng, Mo Yu Cong (莫雨聪), Li Xue Tong, Yu Xiao Fei. I presume that Shuang Cheng is the lead writer.

He learned how to chop wood, and got very good at it. LOL

Can MDL update Ai Li Ya's character name from "Old Lady" to Aunt Xin? She is attributed as Ai Li Ya as Aunt Xin, gatekeeper of the Hidden Soldier Alley on the Vendetta of An Dramawiki page.

That was cruel and unusual punishment for seven years. He should have wasted away over seven years. I can't imagine he was given food, water or a bath. 🤣🤣

New characters just drop into the drama, and drop like flies. I liked the last one. I think his name was Di Lu. Zhong Mo grew on me. I think he might regain his royal status, and become a better emperor after all his life's lessons under Xie Huai An.

I saw the "glow up" comment recently, and wondered what it meant. 😁😁😁 He's 55, but looks ten years younger here.

Did you notice that Liu Yi Jun looks younger in this drama? I don't remember when I saw him last.

Sometimes it is inferred that she recognized him, but then I read all the comments. Who was she writing to all these years? Her biological brother? There was a quick scene where she called him by his first name, Huai An, as if she knew who he was. She only met him the first time at the city gates.

Me, too, but the writers like to sacrifice the good people at the end.

LOL Calvin Li has an extensive acting career. He has striking features. He reminded me of Any Lau. I imagine he was not playing a minor guest character. I was surprised when QIng Yi revealed his past history to Bai Guan. The writer wanted the viewers and Bai Guan to feel sympathy for him.

Qing Yi annoyed me on screen. Glad the writers got rid of him.

Ancient China used AI. 🤣🤣🤣
