After watching ep28 I realize that Nan Rui is cruel in way that a stupid child is. He speaks with utmost sincerity…
Hard to believe he is the Empress’s son lol. They’re so different. And I guess no one is gonna give a better explanation on how the Emperor is all “nice” now when he hated NH since he was born lol. Also, I still can’t believe the Emperor held hope on NR being crown prince, you are a smart man so you should know he is incapable
Wow that is a huge statement! Everyone was all about The Prisoner of Beauty, which I watched up til halfway and…
He definitely gained recognition for being a top kisser in that one though 👀 the kiss scenes prob boosted the popularity too lol. But the story was meh and boring imho
8.5 is really low, in my opinion this is so far liu yunings best drama
Wow that is a huge statement! Everyone was all about The Prisoner of Beauty, which I watched up til halfway and couldn’t continue anymore. Not that the acting was poor but I must be the minority - just couldn’t get into the storyline. I prefer this one over that.
I just want to say as frustrating as some characters/events have been, I enjoyed these discussions! It goes to show how much attention the show is getting. I also appreciate the refreshing storyline that is a bit different than the rest and the fact that it is not a novel adaptation. It’s really nice not having to compare it to the original (and getting upset over changes from the novel etc), and not knowing what to expect.
Can’t believe the series is ending soon, until then, happy watching and chatting everyone!
I believe there is ...more to the emperor. The way he has been behaving... he always secretly had a bias for the…
You mean a father who shows tough love in order to help the son become a good ruler? (I mean that's the only thing I can think of, but still very cliche of a plot and cannot redeem him - abuse is still abuse!) I will say the Emperor is a very smart man, so it would be unrealistic for him to believe that NR can even be considered a candidate for the throne lol
Thoughts on the latest episode (sorry for the rage):
Is it just me but wth was that 180 from the Emperor??? I was literally baffled the entire time. His character is the most illogically written and he doesn't even give his son an apology or proper explanation. The neglect and abuse started way before the Empress died, so is he not going to explain that?
Honestly feel awful for NH. I wouldn't blame him if he resented his father his whole life to the point of rebelling. I don't know if they're trying to make NH a saint here (because I'm sure he had his ambitions) or if they're trying to make the Emperor a good father who just shows tough love. NH has been trying to explain himself to you the whole time, and what kind of wise Emperor would believe a young child would kill someone without at least trying to investigate. If he disliked NH because of his wariness over Gao Changyin, I mean wouldn't that naturally steer him to suspect the adult first lol?
Also, CGH is the definition of hypocrite. Looking back at their childhood, he wasn't exactly a nice person. He was a jerk to NH before the battle, and then gets mad when NH didn't send reinforcements. It's like NH is to be blamed regardless of what he does. You're in the battlefield, my friend, your men could've still died either way. - hands in air -
that turn over was done way too fast 29 eps full of distrust only for everyone to suddenly be on Nan Heng's side…
Poorly written, so the emperor all of a sudden is not the bad father anymore and made him crown prince? I never understood why he was cruel to NH even before the empress died - no excuse
