I’m starting to think the ML’s manager was very committed to making sure all the spotlight went to him because…
Yup! Exactly, the manager wanted the ML to be more fleshed out and have more lines. So I believe what Fl (and the audience) is experiencing is a new script being edited from that meeting. Unfortualy for her, she’s basing her knowledge from the old script.
This cast has been top notch. They’re not just there to get paid $.
This reminds me of how this script (as introduced in ep 1) was lame, trophy, with poor acting. LYN’s agent complaining that he needed more lines in the script and that his character was 2 dimensional. FL was a nobody actress who only got selected because no one wanted to take on the job to act with the ML. Now, it’s proceeding to be a great drama with depth of character! So maybe the scriptwriter is modifying the original script and she’s experiencing it as it moves along although some key components remain the same. Clever … very clever.
the FL is a concubine? I don't like harem theme...should i watch it?
Only if you like thrillers, espionage, political plotting, being at the edge of your seat, some romance, cool action and a lot of beautiful faces. No - it’s not a harem themed/focused drama. It’s actually quite sympathetic to our female wives/concubines. Also, no, there’s no hot steamy romantic scenes thus far. That’s not the focus of this drama.
Because this is the story she’s in. All the scenes in the original script that they converted in ep 1 has come to fruition in the exact ep as we watched this drama.
i thought i would never hate a father more that song mos father, but here i am hating the guts of the emperor,…
What’s crazy is if we look back at that scene - it’s basically the emperor using Song as a chess piece to battle with NH. And now NH is further weakened.
it is so unserious so far hahahah, it is hilarious, but it will not last forever, the angst is coming too soon
Dunno… it’s unique. If you’ve seen Filter, you’ll understand. Pokes fun of drama tropes yet at the same time, embraces it too and pulls us into it. I don’t know how it ends. The predictions are all laid out in ep 1 and they occur exactly but also not exactly. Takes us by surprise.
how is this drama ?serious or light hearted ?i hope romance is good
It’s not a typical romance so you will be disappointed if you want lovey dovey romance. However, it’s what I look forward to each day. Very engaging. Never been disappointed to be pulled into this fantasy world.
these two episodes, 17 and 18, seriously, the bullying towards Nan Heng got even worse 😭😭I feel so bad for…
Didn’t shed any tears until these two eps. I have to say these two eps are the most touching ones for me. Maybe my fav. thus far. The convos, acting, action, even comic relief inserts were great.
what do you guys think about Nan Heng burning the book? i think he perhaps thought that it’s much safer if he…
I’m thinking, if he burned the book, CGH wouldn’t find out that the secret is missing . Although, the secret note is mysterious. The scientific formula suggests it’s p something from modern times left behind. Does this mean that someone from modern time came before?

She really didn’t like LYN ‘s actor character at the beginning and had judged him because of his demeanor, his fan base, what others say about him.
So in this story, she’s kinda doing the same with NH’s character but now it’s forcing her to get to know him more as a person.
Maybe it’s a story for us to not judge a book by its cover.
I love how he didn’t just fall in love with her for no reason. With his personality, it wouldn’t make any sense for him to do so.
Nicely done scene.
