Watching this latest ep. I just remembered something that I have been meaning to ask all along in my 2 decades of drama watching.
Conflict of Interest - This concept often appear very foreign in these dramas to an extent where I start to question of it is the way things are realistically in Asia ...particularly S.Korea.
For instance here in England, you are not allowed to work for or with someone wherw there could be a conflict of interest because doi g so can create bias. And to me, it makes sense although sometimes I find it to be OTT.
So I always thought it's the same everywhere 😕 🤔 No?

P.S. This drama is soo relaxing which is ironic caise it's about burn out effevt and finding solace in food etc. Guess my stress is too large to relate to this.

Exactly....it's like we know the whole story now so what is the point. Guess I will just be eatching for visuals and chemistry

Lol 😆 🤣

I guess I understand her reasons but I gotta admit, it's getting tiring and I will payse it foe now. I might binge qhen it finish airing.

Great thanks...I have watched half of what's on the list. Yeah, I also have a retirement list too.. hehehe

I know what you are going to say but I'm going to ask anyway...
Can I get away with watching this without the first part🤔
The trailer is incredible and I wasn't drawn to the first season so I stopped at ep 1.
Now I have a dilemma...sigh

I like LXY too but is it me who can't see a character difference between this and his Kill me love me character 🤔 Then again, I'm only an ep in so I might be too presumptuous.

Now I'm curious about the other 7 you're watching....do share the names.
After POB and a recent 18 ep revenge drama (forgetting the name) I haven't found something I like until now. Kdramas are also letting me down. And I cannot even recall the last time I watched a good Jdrama.

Funny you say that cause I have gone against my initial thought and continued ADWAD and dare I say after ep 2, it is cracking me up 😆. Also, I discovered my other weakness besides LYN and that's Wei Liang (if you watch POB, you will know what I mean) so I have succumb to watch ADWAD for now.
Someone in the comments said that even after 6 eps in Princess Gambit the leads are still hating on eachother and plotting against each. Another reason to pause as I'm looking for laughter not angst for now.

And that is why Prisoner of Beauty needs to be studied...hehehe

Who else watched an ep. of this and then an ep. of A dream within a dream before choosing which one to continue 🤔 Me only??
So I'm 1 ep. in on both dramas and with this, I don't know, it's definitely engaging but I was not as hooked as I was after just 1 ep of POB or Blossom. Though I gotta say, I have a guess on who the main villain is in the end so it would be interesting to watch and see if I'm right
As for ADWAD, I literally fell asleep towards the end. Well, I was tired so it's not the drama but then again, not a good sign. I can't help but to think of Love in Eastern Fantasy with Esther Yu drama whilst watching this. But the thing is, the latter gave me the giggles in ep. 1 and so far none for the former. I love Liu Yining so we shall see.
So far I'm definitely leaning on Princess Gambit to continue before I delve into the other one.
P.S. my apologies for talking about 2 dramas on the platform of 1.

Yeah I think there are some editing issues (hell I wanted this drama to be 32 eps.) but let me try to make things make sense for you. So apparently MQC was told by that jerk Chu that he has a spy in the palace which can come handy to kill the Empress dowager. And he tells her his name which is ED's right hand man. But knowing our MQC, she decided to only use him by sending the signal announcing her arrival which then have the spy take the ED into an isolated place (but this fool didn't know the ED already knew he is a spy). As for the transition to the cage. It shows that MQC goes to the king and strike a deal...which is to kill his mother (what a deal indeed) and she takes the fall but with conditions. So she pretry much plays a double game. In the end she manages to use the spy to enter the palace and kill the ED as per the deal with the king and goes to prison. However Chu d***head still wanted her (or shall I say to continue tourture her) that he insisted to marry her. Hence the king had no choice but to send MQC with shitface Chu but have her go as a criminal (pretty much wear a criminal robe, be in cage and get transported to whatever with a royal convoy) to appease the citizens (yeah right, I bet those citizens were actually dancing with joy that the witch ED is dead but 🤷‍♀️)
I hope that helps and if I still didn't make it clear...Sorry.

Just have one thing to say really...
Why is it the FL's face glistening like it just came out of a jar of Vaseline 🤔
Because she doesn't show emotions, I keep searching on her face so the oily face is distracting.

Omg, I said the same thing. Like the FL suits the role of a general to perfection. Her aura, presence and physical appearance gives the general vibe. She is sooo pretty but when she in that general uniform, she is fierce and badas**.
Some of these so called Female generals in some dramas loom like they are cos playing. 🙄 I can never take them serious.

It looks like he did. Nowonder he couldn't look her in the eye after...that beast don't have the balls to look at her cause he will see his evilness.

Oh my world....MQC suffered. This woman better live because she deserves at least a decent peaceful life more than anyone else. I was also wondering how she managed to escape and the truth is even more heartbreaking. Not only was she toetured, that beast FSY blackmailed, poisoned and raped her... like how much can one person take. Naaaaah. These evils need to be vanquished. And to add salt to a still open wound, he dare ask to marry her...like 👿🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Nowonder, she always looked soulless...it's like her sole existence is to suffer.
This is a drama that deserves a 32 ep. Not some of the nonsense they are showing these days. The leads are not the so-called A'list star traffickers and yet they deliver a captivating performance. Plus the story is incredible.
This is how you do a revenge and I love how they made her suffering not too exaggerated but somewhat realistic. I have been rooting for QC but now more than ever I want her to destroy them all. GO GIRL!

The whole kiss thing in another drama may have been blown out of proportion but I understand the frustration. If you're cast in a romantic drama that includes kissi g scenes etc and you know tou are not comfortable, why take o the role 🙄. I get annoyed by any actor who does this. Yes, I didn't like her acting and the whole angle fake kisses etc but she is killing it here. I absolutely love Mu Dai and don't care whether she kiss LR or not because why? This is not a Romantic series. I've got my attention elsewhere aka the main plot.

BREATH 😉☺️

I'm dead...LOL
