Reminds me of the Matrix - You know the steak is fake but it tastes so good, you’d rather be in that world than the real one.

If he had any love for NH, we would have seen it already. Instead, he only has hate, distrust, and contempt for him.

NH is a child from a political marriage. He has no affection to the mom. Just transactional.

NH was present with his favorite concubine was assassinated so every time he sees NH, he’s reminded.of her death.

He’s not outright evil, but he’s cunning, calculating, and looks nice on the surface.

Ahh..yea, got it. I had to rewatch scenes o follow what’s happening. As a matter of fact, I decided to rewatch from the beginning and picked up better understanding of what’s going on.

He’s am amazing actor. Loving his comedic scenes. He plays all his roles well!

Sounds like you haven’t watched it yet. This drama is not like the typical drama, lots of silliness, pokes fun of tropes (being swept away by the hero, the tragic ending, abandonment, etc), doesn’t take itself seriously, yet at the same time we are drawn into the characters. If you’re into more serious dramas, this may not be a good fit. There’s a lot of making fun of drama making and modern world as well. I missing a lot since a lot is lost in translation but the bits I grasps have kept me engaged.

I first saw her in LBFAD and thought how beautiful she was and looked at her other dramas.

Thanks for sharing that!

I went back to episode one and noted the scenes of the script she read . So far, each of these scenes have occurred pretty much as laid out in the script down to the same episode as we watch it. Of course there’s a bit of deviation but ep 10- the kid crying, her falling, the way he rescued her, the injury on his arm all the same.

Ep2 - when NH first saved her from downing
Ep10 - when NH saved her from the flaming lanterns
Ep17 - she disobeys her father and chooses not to marry general CGH
Ep22- she finds NH with her half sister
Ep37 - her bitter death
Ep39 - she’s a living corpse

So if this is the case, will the scenes in the future eps occur?

Thus far, we know she entered into the drama

Haha….

Princess’s gambit is a good complement to this one although it’s not as well done and probably not as high of a budget. Still enjoyable though.

Omg… that was so hilarious!

I feel that the main skeleton or major points of the original plot cannot be changed, like the fact that she falls in love with him and now her sister will also be involved. Wonder whether the ending of The original plot will happen.

Love how this drama pokes fun at all these tropes and dramas in a fun lighthearted way.

Emperor’s bias is explained in a flashback. Poor NH

I was bustin’! And those Northwestern guys comment put the nail on the coffin for LSL . Even his actions later in the rooftop couldn’t save him. 🤣🤣🤣

Agreeed! They weaved the two world so well. “i even know what a sushi roll is but what’s a main role? What’s a supporting role?” 🤣🤣

It opened both of their eyes to the other’s suffering. I think she’s now beginning to look beyond her initial impression of him.

It is a very well made drama. Good storytelling. The comedy is just 😂🤣🤣😂😂

There’s drama, humor, angst, action, romance, political scheming, and very good looking actors/resses who can act well.

It’s great.
