So what's happening right now is far from the plot of the novel they transmigrated to? The supposedly fl of the novel died, the villains of the novel didn't become trashy characters but the ML did become one. Plus the supposedly love story between yong er and duan didn't even happen
Is Prince duan the real ML of the novel? He's evil than the "real" villain, dan is a tyrant but only when he's triggered and he's being reasonable. While the so-called male lead is doing much dirty and immoral work (impregnating yonger, harming wanyin, plotting evil plams etc) he's such a terrible male lead who literally doesn't love his fl, I'll probably one of the hater of the novel if I'll ever read it lol. Cuz, how come the evil character is much softer and emphatic than the main one.
Does he really hate his son? I mean that's understandable since he is forced and 🍇 just to have him plus he's the empress dowager's favorite. But for anyone who already read/watched the other versions, will he have a good relationship with his son later on?
And now they did the deed, will him and the female lead have a child?
This doesn't have any hope for a happy ending, I'm not even hoping to have one. The ML's character is not someone should be forgiven, redemption arc is not for someone like him. He should be put behind bars or in mental institution as he literally needs professional help not love, lol. I don't know how the FL will end up loving him after what all he did, cuz the only right thing the writer should do to save the last sanity of this drama is to make it a sad ending or make all the characters d-ad. This drama is just 'that' doomed.
I really love this kind of plot a "modern royalty love story" like king 2 hearts, Princess hours and eternal monarch are my favs. Korean drama rarely produce this kind of setting, when it actually have so much potential especially when improving the storyline. So, I'm looking forward to this and the remarried empress
What I really hated is how they made the emperor's life so miserable from childhood till his death. Everyone in his life doubted, hated and betrayed him, and the author just gives him a sad ending? That character deserves so much better FS
They all died unnecessarily, kind of expected this since the script is really trashy. The only reason why I kept watching it till the end is because of the actors, their acting carried the trashy story of this drama.
Imperial perceptor du's character is such a waste, she have the potential of being a good ally of the emperor and the empress, especially how good her character was introduce and when she plead the empress to understand and communicate with the emperor despite her having lingering feelings for him, she could become one of the solid supporter of the emperor and be a good friend of the empress, but then her character seems like was swapped with the the prince, who I thought will become an enemy of the emperor for the throne. She became power hungry and vengeful for no reason –yes maybe because of her feelings for the emperor and how her identity was hidden, but out of all the people in the palace she knows him the most and for what they've been through together just to easily betray him for a power and to be recognized as the late Emperor’s daughter.
And everything is just doomed for her before she even knew her real identity, the moment the emperor told her that cangcang is the one and only empress he will have, she knows that she will never stand a chance for his love, neither him or the power(becoming empress) will ever go to her hand so rebellion is her only straw, lol. She's just too entitled to think of having a right for the throne even if she was a daughter of the late emperor as the throne already have its heir
They gave so much sweet scenes between the 2nd leads but gave us barely from the main leads?? I thought we will get it now since the misunderstanding between them has been cleared and now that the empress accepted her role as the Emperor’s wife and chose to stand with him
The hate on the fl is so unecessary especially if you really get her point of view or put yourself on her shoe. Yes she's immature at times, but their misunderstanding started because of the emperor, he deceived and lied to her from the very start. She doesn't know what's really happening, she just know only what the ML portrays infront of her. He refused to tell her everything, treats her poorly when she entered the palace, infact the fl has the capability of trusting him and stand with him if he will make her understand what's really happening, but what he only did is lie and hurt her again. The fl only have glimpses of the situation, knows only what her eyes saw and what her ear heard. Nobody shows or told her everything she needs to know, so she can widen her views. She was also forced into the marriage, assumed an unwanted duty and responsibilities in a short span of time, the emperor couldn't even trust her fully and acts to be heartless infront of her, how can she even handle those things that just went too fast.
And She was basically a spoiled princess of her father, so it's reasonable that she was too indenial of things that was too impossible and far from what she knows. I mean, would you expect her to turn her back on her father and want him be killed overnight? It's not that she will tolerate her father's wrong, but she's in the stages of processing everything. She's actually breaking inside and being indenial is her coping mechanism, everything on her life seems like a lie right now
I just really freaking hope I will be able to finish this drama and will be able to watch the finale. Cuz most of ren jia lun's drama is great but becoming painful near the end so I have to drop it, just like love of nirvana (I don't watch the last 3 episodes so I can convince myself that the leads live happily lol)
Is it just the subtitle? But I really love to hear it whenever he calls her "My empress" even in the middle of their argument. That was just the sweetest thing they had right now cuz everything is just too messy, lol
The tags are Prime Minister male lead? Is the second leading man a prime minister or the grand prince will become a prime minister? After all he's a spare, another son of the king who cannot inherit the throne so he could be one, lol
