I have to agree. I look at the male leads I have liked in various shows and they are usually the ones who show emotions and have some sort of complexity. I feel like jfm was supposed to be like this too but he didn't pan out. At least not for me, not yet.

It's a really good show,imo.

Yes, the characters are not really meant to be relatable or lovable. It's interesting, especially since a lot of conversation is raised about whether all characters should be likable or not.

I have to respectfully disagree with you. I think the chemistry is very off and both male leads lack a depth of performance. I think the lacking passion is definitely a byproduct of the acting issues.
As for romance, this story is not actually a romance but a historical fiction, so although there is romance, it's actually not a main concern of the plot. Unfortunately, a lot of viewers who cane into this expecting romance were disappointed but really the story is fun to watch if you lower that expectation.

I honestly don't see the attraction.I think these cold and quiet men are only interesting when they reveal depth and emotion as their character arc progresses. Fang Jianming is just the same as episode one.
Not attractive at all.

Tbh I don't care if Jianming survives or not either.🙈

But Tilan didn't get one of those edicts and seals and whatnot.

Is her rank above Tilan now?

😁😁😁

Idk if he's actually deadly. So far he's just a lil bitch! He's just the type of evil little brother that one would like to get rid of.
I'm not the biggest fan of the emperor but you can just tell that the prince would be even worse than his brother.
The actor reminds me of Nie Huaisang in The Untamed!

Haishi can use her powers to throw pearls at him maybe?!

Fainting? oh I almost started throwing Oscars at them for that twist. What a game changer move. Redefining plot twists since 2021! 🤣😉

I like that!

Anyone else have the urge to punch the prince?

See I was right though. The emperor and Haishi do have a better dynamic! It's not romantic but they just seem like they can be good co-conspirators! I actually think it'll be fun if they are just friends!
He's not gonna r*pe her now...right?

I can't stop thinking about how pointless the court's attempts at blackening Fang Jianming's name are. It's like trying to bad mouth someone's alter ego to that same person!

I can't believe it took them 37 episodes to show us just what her mermaid tattoo was for!
This whole time...she could levitate pearls and they never once mentioned it?!

I should watch that. Rise pf Phoenixes and Nirvana in Fire.

See what you did?! Now I have gone and binged their other videos!
I watched their One and Only video, and now I just want to rewatch that ! :(

Okay, I'll give her that. It was funny!
