Yes! And Song minister served NH tea as well!

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.

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.

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.

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.

The father has good reasoning on why he opposed the marriage but that convo left him impressed with NH.

Nicely done scene.

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?

Ended on such a sad scene. The hope of their friendship mending seems even bleaker now.

Ep 18 - the lines from NH when Somg Minister asked him how sincere he was about what he said when he accepted Song’s punishment:

If I had no selfish motives, I wouldn’t insist on marrying her (SYM).

If I had no sincere felling, I wouldn’t have willingly clipped my own wings.

Wow…

For the Chinese literate, did he say exactly that?

As written in the original script for ep 17, we have the scene where she defies her dad.

But our story is so much more about NH than SYM.

Ep 17 was so good!!

Ep17 - love that heart to heart discussion between the sisters.

Princess gambit is serous

She had a tát of it in ep 14 on the present of the emperor. And then that horseride. It’s slow and gradual which makes sense considering her bias.

All the characters hiding on the bed. Although I never saw the drama myself.

Yes - we see the more complete him. She is handicapped by her first impressions from the original script (as well as from the initial production meeting and her presumptions of him as a famous but high maintenance, no talent actor). The thought of her character’s bitter ending probably doesn’t help.

However, she will start experiencing what he has to endure.

There will prolly be a lot of cheering.

Someone mentioned it’s from A Female Student Arrives at the Imperial College

That scene with the pile of sunflower seeds had me rolling.

Nah

I agree. This is the team that made AJTL. And Limon is one of the production companies. Ive enjoyed most of their productions.
