Betty Sun is such a great actress, a lot of her roles are strong women. Maybe you should watch her other drama called Nothing Gold Can Stay, it is set in the late Qing Dynasty. I think it's a pretty good one.

Lol, my comment is definitely late but I'm glad you love it.

This is the story if Hong Li's (Qianlong Emperor) adoptive mother who became Empress Dowager at the end, so think about that lol.

There are many versions of episodes due to the airing policies on different platforms. The one I watched has 74 episodes.

Agree!! It doesn't even feel like Chang An is the main lead because they focused so much on Gong Zi's problems, lol.

She became more mature and I guess she got stronger in terms of power.

Another drama that I found pretty similar to this is Where Stars Land, there is no rushed romance or immature relationship handling. But it's quite romantic halfway, soft, and sweet.

Lol, he and Si Tu Mo are leads in another another drama called My Little Happiness.

I've never heard about a Korean remake of this drama. But I do know that there's already a Korean remake of A Love So Beautiful recently.

Really good.

That is one of my favorite OST from this drama.

Physically strong? Sort of, but he's more of a strategist and schemer.

Not really, but it's also pretty good. I really like The Princess Man tho.

Well, it is based on real history. Maybe some of the plot wasn't real, but still a piece of reality.

No, she was deposed but met the King again after 38 years.

Yes, the King is 9 years older than Dong Yi in real history. But they depicted her as someone way younger.

Yup! Sadly, that's just how the real history goes. No one is really safe in there.

That's because she didn't know that she's his real mother until later, so she couldn't provide him the genuine love that a mother can.

I don't hate her but she cries too much.

Well, he did kill a few of his brothers later on in the drama. It's kind of like he was forced to.
