You'll enjoy the later episodes. There are plots, but you won't get lost or bored.

The love triangle is not what you think. All I can say is that we have three principled clear-headed characters on the situation, and it'll unfold unlike what people expect. All this is part of why the drama's writing is being lauded in China amongst viewers on weibo and xiaohongshu.

Xie Jiayu is sixteen, and has barely seen the world. It will be interesting to see her perspectives change, as she matures as per the storyline and characterisation.

Right now, Xiao Wuyi has managed to gain the gift of Xie Jiayu's smile that is without wariness and distrust. She has suffered betrayal, and she is learning again to trust,

The building of their friendship feels very naturally organic, and the emotional pacing is good. That's how emotional connections develop. It's refreshing to have communication that works, instead of long-drawn out misunderstandings that are tedious, and only for the sake of drama.

Nobody considered what Xie Jiayu thought of everything that had happened until episode 7. Ai Mi really nailed that scene!

I love the women in this drama! They all have layers, and are smart.

Even the Empress Dowager, short-sighted and manipulative as she is, is not one to be lightly trifled with.

After episode 7, three parallel different plot lines have emerged, somewhat tangled (with good reason) but centered around: Xiao Wuyi, Xie Jiayu, and the one who has enabled LI Mao to be where he is today.

Very much enjoying historical references!

What is the reference to General Lian Po and Minister Lin Xiangru, for two men in episode 8?

Who are these two historical figures (link below takes less than one minute to digest)?

Douban has opened at a 6.6 score.

Less than 30 minutes ago, Maoyan Entertainment reports box office takings have grossed 388 million RMB. Should gross 400 million RMB within the next 30 minutes.

Why do you lie so much? Didn't HMH act with Lu Yuxiao? Isn't Lu Yuxiao your goddess?
Are you here to talk rubbish, stanning Lu Yuxiao?

According to you, Lu Yuxiao is the only one worth watching in "Love In The Clouds":

You already insulted Hou Minghao months ago, with:

[ I only watched the LITC for her acting. Otherwise there is nothing to watch!!! ]

Why are you here?

[ Oh, the blow to the head has not been forgotten, hurray. Good, good. Him surviving that is already leaning a bit on a plot armour in my eyes, but at least they are not having it as if it never happened.
3-5 years to live, and he feels like it’s enough? I wonder how soon he’s going to change his mind. ] - Given a specific sequence that the leads spent a certain amount of time filming, the drama isn't going to take us through several years. A HE has been mentioned.

The Empress is only wanting to preserve what she has. She doesn't seem to care that her stupidity cost Southern Ye five cities. She really wants to do in Xiao Wuyi.

I'm interested in what her son might do, depending on the situation. But Xie Huaigui is making me bury my face in my hands, because of what he is going to do to Li Mao, what with giving stupid ideas and being misleading... Li Mao will want to learn how to be an Emperor.

And I'm still a bit bummed about Li Lejun, Li Mao's sister.

I respect that you don't want to talk to me, so this is my final comment to you :)

I think I'll do three posts.

One for Xiao Wuyi, one for Xie Jiayu, and one for general comments!

Thanks for being inspiring. It was only when I looked at your description, then I had this idea!

If you have questions about politics after episode 4, look at the recent comments where I have tried to compile certain links of information.

I think I should make a collection of observations from viewers of KTTPH to share with viewers later todayor tomorrow, akin to what I just shared from x.com pertaining to XHS. I'll definitely use yours!

Peter Ho is doing so well! I kind of gushed over him in a spoiler tag, when sharing my thoughts on episodes 1 to 3. And I like the women in this drama. They are very enjoyable to watch, layered and strong.

Consider putting your reply above under a spoiler tag.

Xie Huaigui is not XIe Jiayu's biological father. At this point, whose parent and whose child is like a game of musical chairs 😆😆

Scroll up to the most recent comments :)

At this point, Mercy is trolling this page. Mercy is claimed "Dream Of Golden Years" is unrealistic for not having kisses within 16 episodes of the drama. They said they would drop the drama if there are no kisses.

They are one of the reasons inspiring the thread later in the page of "Dream Of Golden Years" where several older viewers of C-Ent finally vented about people with no self-awareness and no consideration for realism in cultural context:

Please don't waste your time on Mercy, the unrealistic troll that wants kisses in a drama or they would drop it. Kisses, as in smoochies in the 1980s of China.

Context? Here:

There is a discussion happening, if you look at the recent two hours of comments upthread. And multiple links addressing politics and more, as shared by various posters.

# ML Xiao Wuyi and Prince Qi aka Li Mao will at some point be on opposite sides, definitely.

# Which father and mother? Xia Jiayu's biological mother and Xie Huaigui are on different sides, by episode 6.

Please see the comments of the latest 2 hours upthread, as multiple viewers share links and thoughts.
