Yeah, I agree about that last part. Also, that whole noble idiocy-divorce part was unnecessary in my opinion - I'd rather they just have stuck together and figured out everything together. At least it didn't drag on for too long.

Yep, completely nuts.

I feel like if they had set it up where the audience already knew he was the mastermind and why he was pursuing this path, it would have made more emotional impact. The sudden reveal at the end regarding his parentage is kind of underwhelming. And he just seems like your average cray cray Chinese period drama villain lol.

Lai Louzhi, your entire life was a lie.

Viki is only up to 36 right now. Looks like 37 tomorrow and who knows about the rest.

These subs are cracking me up. I can understand enough Mandarin to make do without subs, and these are more distracting than helpful.

He had him killed. And Yun Que died with Marshal Xu.

Nooooo, Marshal Xu!

Ep 36. Lai goes completely cray cray. Yikes

Ugh, I'm only on ep 34, can't wait to see how it ends for him.

Keep watching! I think this is one of those rare dramas that improves in the second half. I haven't watched the last several eps though, so hopefully it didn't fall apart later.

LOL, Love of Nirvana or the like. So many dramas with love and nirvana apparently.

This show is actually improving as the end gets closer - not a typical feat for a C drama (at least the ones I've watched)! I hope the ending doesn't disappoint!

In ep 32, she does tell ol' Lai that he ain't her friend. But we'll see if she really improved or it was just a momentary thing.

I've read different things online so it's all confusing. Some have said that the production did obtain permission, but the delay may be due to passing review (since the source material is Japanese, they have to change some elements). Wish someone official would just release an update/explanation lol.

Haven’t watched those, might check them out!

Ep 28. I take back what I said earlier (mostly) about Mo Qianzhi lol - there at least was some effort to give him some depth. Some solid acting as usual from Han Chengyu - his and Ding Yuxi's scenes are some of my favorite so far.

I finally got to ep 28. That conversation between Gov Mo and Shen Du was good and what this story needs more of.

Yes, I'm super suspicious of Prince Xian as well. Agree, villains are run-of-the-mill here. I'm not expecting much haha, but I at least hope our leads get a satisfying story and ending.

Yeah, I thought he’d at least be more measured than crazy Lai, but I know this show isn’t going for fully dimensional villains
