Sunbath12

Fine, a LOT ;)

He's definitely a bit kooky

The rap is pretty rare to hear in a period drama too. Or I guess I don't watch too many with a ton of comedy so maybe I wouldn't know.

Ep 12 my favorite so far - I get the feeling Chu Guihong is not going to be the antagonist but someone else. That emperor is sus, but it may be someone else.

I’m not all the way caught up; but she hasn’t impressed me much as a character so far. I keep wondering if she is really his sister - she certainly doesn’t share her brother’s intelligence lol

In his own words, it’s so no one knows what his preferences are. He doesn't want to get involved with any political faction.

Lyrics are a riot haha

Can't get enough of this lol. The FL's Dad cracks me up, with his drinking green tea and black tea to confuse people and his breaking down political intrigue for his daughter.

I never got a chance to watch that one.

Jixiang hates his life lol. At least that's what his perpetual facial expression reads.

This assassination plotting meeting is hilarious.

The next few episodes will be key for me. It's where it can either develop nicely or start to drag.

Really enjoying this so far. It's not easy to balance comedy and the more typical drama beats you'd expect from a period drama. Song Yimeng is working off of the original script - I am wondering when she will finally realize things have changed and are still changing.

I can see him turning that way.

Check out some set pics provided by Deng Wei himself: https://m.weibo.cn/u/3005331561

Yeah it looks like it won’t show up until later

Ah, it’s going to get confusing for her then

Yeah, I hope the real story isn't dumb like the script for the show within this show lol.

I love the music - if you pay attention to the lyrics, it's hysterical.

Totally. And I think it's why it works lol.
