i would say she got 25-35% redemption in my books

these moments felt like yake freeing herself from the cages she had built around herself. and fty was right if you will keep comparing your life to others you will never feel happy abt yours.

imo main reason that every cdrama feels same or somewhat similar is lack of characters with questionable morals talking abt leads not every lead male or female has to be green flag or green forest and always right or one or two steps ahead. there should be more shows talking abt idol ones especially since they get more international attention with yellow flag red flag black flag leads who make questionable choices.

like especially in idol period dramas if every character is playing dirty scheming why cant the leads do the same why cant they be evil or show shades of evil in their actions for once.

their censorship tends to sanitize or water down complex lead characters from novels into one dimensional mister or misses goody two shoes.
yes you can get the audience to swoon once or twice by their actions but same formula on repeat just kills the vibe.

ep 32; never expected i would cheer for yake for clapping back at yjx and calling him dull and telling him that no matter who he married would turn dull bcz of him lolllll

and yu senior comment to zl in ep31 that the more power you seek the more things you will need to do things against your will and kill ppl which you dont wanna kill pretty much sums up zl rise to power

and we viewers as well

need a group therapy for zl fty and whole northwest and us viewers aswell

wife of a military man so technically not commoners

true that if ppl are so pissed at the death of side characters that shows the drama put effort into them as well and not made a drama with 1000 closeup of leads and just focus on visuals

imo everyone is emotionally out rn to see that everyone is hurting not just them that includes fty and zl and whole northwest. she is not angry at zl but rather at the helplessness of their situation where they seem to have no way out.

i feel thats my guess give everyone 1-2 episode and when the emotions get lower and logic takes over the band will be together again

Not saying these shows should turn like western ones but come on is showing a toxic relationship or a red flag crime against humanity

Honestly heard it went from 32 to 24epi I was like Okay usual cdrama cuts and chops if the story is coherent fine I'll watch it but now peeps saying it is gonna go to 16 episodes

I am sorry I don't wanna say this but China population is more than a billion and it didn't reach that point by just holding hands why even allow romance heavy novels to be adopted if you gonna butcher their adaption and besides if kids are watching these shows shouldnt it be the responsibility of parents to not give them access to such subscription based sites in the first place.

😂😂😂😂😂

Emperor really is treating zl like a concubine who is involved In a affair with a minister aka northwest and she(zl) has to prove it everytime that she(zl) loves the emperor

Things that cannot be avoided

Death, taxes and emperor treating everyone like a pawn in cdramas

Honestly felt like she was unconscious like abducted by yjx acting like a knight in shining armor gave me creeps ngl

First yuncheg
Trying to help zl
then FL mother cuz of zl going after senior yu
Then FL father as a act of revenge then moyi cuz of senior yu and madam yu again

I wanna hug zl this is not wounded soul but rather life time trauma

Emperor is emperoring but still some devil work by him giving instant promo to Zl and fty

To the ppl who were complaining why would leads throw everything away after going through so much for a comfy ending. Ig they seen the leaks

Now I wanna ask if you have watched ep31 what ending would you choose???

It's not surving it's that he is not as cold hearted as the yu and not slimy like grand secetary tian. Zl plans are always advancing and not backing and it is has now backfired massively
