People not liking a drama doesn't have to automatically be because of trolls or fan wars. Some people just have different opinions compared to others and just might not like it because of various reasons. Their ratings and opinions are as valid as those who love this.

FL has had many instances of no common sense. She has multiple times walked into the arms of murderers, who she knows are murderers, after sending competent people away who can protect her. Just to need saving everytime. I felt like I was watching a totally different drama with the smile and scene post fire rescue because it was just so out of place.

They both need major heavenly marriage counseling.

Probably on Tue 17th or Wed 18th.

I 100% agree with everything. The writing is really lacking. The drama has been holding back her reasons for getting revenge which has made it hard to root for either lead or the otp. You don't know what horrible things BJS has done and you don't know if this 300 years of hatred from HRY is justified. The drama is trying sooo hard for twists that the "twists" are now so obvious that they just make me roll my eyes and creates plot holes. Also, some of the character actions give me whiplash. Like BJS acted so in love with HRY but then coldly abandons her for 10 years. This is why I theorize they are working together this whole time to take down the heavenly emissary/or whoever the bad guy is. Or BJS secretly took on HRY punishment during those 10 years which is why he wasn't in a position to check on her. These are the only things that would make any sense for the plot holes and jarring character actions. At this point I don't even want the otp to end up together because BJS is in an abusive relationship and HRY needs major counceling (unless this was all a combined plot by both of them).

This is an S+ rank drama which is one of the highest rankings you can get for a budget. This IS a high budget drama. Bai Lu being in this alone shows it is. It's just that the high budget was not well used. A high budget doesn't mean the drama will be perfect, just means they have a lot more money to throw around.

I totally agree. I hate most of the styling. The drama has been coming under lots of critism in China for the styling which is why Yu Zheng came out defending it. This is an S+ rank drama (which are the highest rated budget dramas) but the budget was clearly not used in the right ways.

I hate the sound effects. Ep 16 had like 5 min straight of nothing but cringy sound effects (when he was trying to give her food). 🥲

This isn't a low budget drama. This is a Bai Lu and producer Yu Zheng drama which are key indicators it's a high budget drama. YZ has even said a lot of money was spent on costumes alone (when he was getting crtisim about the styling). It's just the budget was clearly not well utilized.

My issue isn't just a misunderstanding. My issue is if the misunderstanding could have been easily resolved with her simply answering his questions of why. If it's a deep and complex misunderstanding then I'm fine with it. That's where the "please prove me wrong drama" comes into play...

Yessss! Just replying with "You deserve it" arggg!

I really hope this whole drama and the conflict it's based on isn't because of a misunderstanding that could have been resolved if Yue had simply answered BJS's question of "why". Please prove me wrong drama!

I won't spoil things but there were times the drama relied too often on luck and plot convenience rather than actual plotting and intelligence. The female lead (Antu) was poorly written. I liked her at first but after she fell for ZH she basically became a romantic plot point and was just there to humanize ZH. Some of the reasoning behind various actions of characters was weak and not well written. The ending wasn't strongly done and felt rushed. This is more my personal issue, but ZH is said to be very intelligent and while he is a genius at things like geomancy and construction he is not proficient at all with plotting and the political landscape. He makes A LOT of mistakes and fumbles very spectacularly multiple times which requires others to save him or luck to save him. Him not being perfect is definitely more realistic but I personally wanted this more amazing person who successfully navigated his plotting and revenge and played a deeper mouse and cat game (instead of him just being an unknown mouse to someone elses cat).

Calm down. They did nothing wrong by simply saying they are now watching this drama after finishing PoB. I see people do this in the comment section for dramas alllll the time and there is no issue until there are attacks. Be welcoming of everyone unless they are toxic.

The writing had a lot of issues and problems. It was entertaining, the acting was good (especially the marquis), and it was well produced, but unfortunately the writing held it back from being an excellent drama. I'd suggest you try and see.

I totally agree. I actually think they were better written than both Zang Hai and Antu.

But the problem @bailang brought up has been evident through the whole series, not just the latest episodes. It's also some of the biggest issues I've had with the drama and the writing.

I've had the same theory on masked man for awhile now. Pretty much from the moment we first saw Emperor. He seems too simple to not be deeply involved somehow

The reasoning ZH's 3rd master gives on why the Prince isn't one of the 3 is super flimsy and sus. Just because he had a banquet at the same time doesn't mean he isn't involved. The eunuch guy wasn't there either. Why do the 3 masterminds need to be there when they could just send people to do their dirty work? Hope once ZH is sober he questions this.

How is people rating low ruining anyones experience? Again, I dont condone hate. But how is rating a 1 ruining anyones enjoyment? Why even place so much emphasis on some random rating on a random international site? Just enjoy the drama and actors and don't allow some arbitrary number effect you to the point of ruining your enjoyment.
