This illusion arc is interesting. I wonder how it will all come together.

I love her in this so far.

No idea. I hope sometime later this year!

Yeah, he has a distinct vision, which is rare in C drama land I’d say nowadays. This is my first work of his that I’m watching.

I don’t mind it as much as some others. I think it suits this genre well.

This style of filming is probably an acquired taste for some, but the story is not bad so far. I liked the first opening story, kept me guessing.

😂 I know, I was feeling sad one moment then snapped out of it to tell him to let go.

I feel like ep 2 works much better. The first episode was one of all over the place.

It will be explained later, but yes they did meet prior.

Sorry, it wasn't so clear before. Seems like he is one of the "recommenders" for the festival as opposed actually attending the event. Here's the full video from CCTV:

Yes, I want it to be as close to history as possible, because Empress Feng was formidable.

I agree her line delivery doesn’t immediately scream out to me as Empress Dowager Feng. I’m still interested in this if it does turn out to be a more historically accurate take on her story. The Princess Weiyong was too romanticized for me but it was entertaining I guess.

Yeah, it wasn't perfect, but I mostly enjoyed it. Hard to find a truly great historical piece these days from C drama land.

I'm more into serious historical dramas, so I'm looking forward to this, but I understand, not everyone likes the same thing.

Deng Wei will attend the Lilac Poetry Festival again this year on April 2nd: https://weibo.com/2656274875/5282613457849657

I think it will be more like Swords into Plowshares.

The main period/costume drama I’ve seen rumored is Rebirth (joint production with Tencent).

It’s a different story set up, but it’s definitely within the romantic period idol drama genre. The directors are quite different, so it will be interesting to see what this one ends up like once it (hopefully) airs.

Yeah. I don’t really get too hung up about these ratings. Much more important things in life. I trust it will all sort out in the end, but I think here there may be some kind of glitch.

I’m sure it will come down over time as more casual viewers start watching and rating.
