Finally finished the drama and all things considered, I'm fine with the ending. I was generally not invested into the plot for the most part and just loved the character dynamics and cast, so overall I still enjoyed the drama. The final arc was meh, wish they showed some character development for ZS after all this time but oh well the ending for the other characters were decent.
What's the point of revealing the last scene for 2ml and the last scene for the main couple in the ending credits…
Yeah I have no idea why they make the ending credits like that 😭 Thanks to that I've developed the habit of changing my tab the second the ep ends so that I can just listen to the bgm and not get spoilers lol
I don't know either 😭. There are so many dramas I wanna watch so I start them but I get distracted a lot and start more lol. There are two more I'm planning on starting very soon 😭😭
Do you happen to know more about the censorship and copyright issues? I'm just wondering because this doesn't…
To be honest, I'm not very sure on the specifics either but from what I've gathered, the production team did not secure all the necessary rights from the original work before going into filming. That's why they had to 'fix' some scenes when editing to avoid copyright which resulted in uneven scene cuts.
I've heard that they had to censor some parts too but again, not sure on the specifics and since I am not familiar with the source material, I can't really comment on its contents. Hopefully someone with a little more knowledge can shed some light on the changes cuz I'm curious too.
I was the one who made that comment about her treating him like everyone else, and I hope you’ll still feel…
Personally, I don't mind the FL's lack of response much either. Yes, the ML loves her and have said that again and again, but it doesn't mean that she has to reciprocate that feeling and it's not like she's actively trying to manipulate him or take advantage of his feelings. She cares for him and returns his kindness and attention in due, but she doesn't owe her feelings to anyone.
That being said, I would not be calling this drama a romance either and wouldn't watch it as such since the romance clearly appears to be subsidiary and not the main focus here.
I didn't start yet but the rating is shocking i thought it will be more than 8 for sure!! The cast is so good,…
The story is okay honestly, but the main problem lies with the production. Since this was filmed in 2023 and suffered from some copyright and censorship issues, the editing and storytelling is not coherent. But it's still very enjoyable and fun to watch! So, it's best to give it a few eps and see if you like it for yourself.
I still don't get the significance of lighting the beacon and why the governor can't light it instead of Fan Yun.
Lighting the beacon tower means the capital and the Governor is asking for help from the noble families (the other 8 cities) and I assume is done only in extreme circumstances as it means the Governor is unable to handle the situation on his own.
Qi Zheng couldn't light the beacon himself because when he established the national selection exam, Lord Zheng put forth a condition that during the one-year trial period of the exam if Qi Zheng lights the beacon and asks help from the nobles then the national selection exam would be abolished.
Why the rating is low ? .. May I know if this drama has fighting scenes ?
A few but personally, I found them pretty mediocre. This is an old production with low budget, so the production quality is not very high but it's still very enjoyable. The cast is really good and the comedy here is done exceptionally well. So, if you want to watch something light and fun, you can give it a try.

Final rating is somewhere around 8/10.
