Low bar but very happy this is the cast we got for this drama. Had this drama been acted by certain actors/actresses,…
That explains why I am waiting for the episodes so fervently! I don't really care for who the FL or MLs are I am not familiar with them anyway. I would say, this series is a 7.5 on the Jane Austen scale, 10 episodes in, the leads only had one or two conversations. Slow burn rules.

I watched the flower pin scene again. What games are the lads playing, Is it some kind of word play competition? The English subtitles don't do justice to what's going on.

Me too. I dropped the Double. I couldn’t get into the drama for some reason.
I don't think its the Double because I did watch that drama.

The Du actress looks familiar to me. I think she could be the girl in that weird face swapping drama on Netflix which I dropped after a few episodes.

I saw POJ is on the top of heat index ratings with 31k. Will ATC be able to top it??🫶
POJ was good first half until the palace politics kicked in. Hope this one can maintain the momentum. Also I think this male lead is better actor than the one in POJ. But I like both main actresses from these two dramas.

Just wearing a flower pin can get you a new minted concubine? Can't he just tell the truth he has no idea what is the significance of the flower ?

I don't know how old the watchers of this drama but the comment section smells immaturity. The last time I felt…
Its not immaturity or age. Many of us here are not familiar with the subtle customs of Chinese society let alone one that is as refined as from the Song dynasty. So we learn from forums like this.

I need 4 of them to survive!
Xiaolan is the most vulnerable to scheming as she is so gullible and innocent.

I though noble women were already binding their feet by the time of Ming? So how did this big gorilla expect to get away with size 12 feet. Oh yeah, forgot drama logic...

The schedule is quite confusing.Yesterday it started at 5 PM in Indonesia and but no new episodes yet today.Tencent…
I'm watching episode 1 and 2 of The story of MingLan on youtube while checking. I understand that show is the gold standard for story of underdog poor girl making it in concubine household.

Wait!! What exactly is their issue with her appearance? Is she not beautiful enough?
I saw an article where where the actress is being criticized in China for not being noble(ly) poised. But they don't mind generals with 2cm thick foundation lol...

The parents are my fav people of the drama. I think at the least the foster mother get to enjoy life because I've seen her in the promo teasers sitting beside the FL in madame mode.
