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.
Right!? I wanted to feel bad for him but also.. nah lol
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.
Currently watching ep 14 and I can't say that the development of the romance aspect is very original. However…
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.
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!
For some reasons, this drama has been renamed along with all the characters. The synopsis here is not updated…
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.
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.
Watched up to Ep 27 - finally the whole world knows about that Mo guy...I mean...it was so obvious to us viewers…
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.
