Tvtropes is a website that records the common tropes that appear in media and literature. It both has description pages for tropes and pages dedicated to media with a list of their tropes. It's a super fun website to browse generally and it also can help with learning about narrative and stuff. Most of them are very funny!

I know, sometimes you watch a bad show for too long, then you have no choice but to finish or it feels like you wasted your time to that point!!

Why are you doing this to yourself? I hear it's very bad!

Have you guys read the TvTropes page for 2ha? It's very entertaining. Beware spoilers though!

In that case: Bon voyage!
May I just say, that would be a very productive use of your quarantine time?! 😁

I think this is the lowest rating I have ever seen from you!
Must have been a very fun show to watch!!!

I will not wish for you to get quarantined but if that does happen and you do translate it, then it'll be kind of great. So thank you!

Yes, it's better than to go in with no context, for sure.

Oh, I always have trouble with machine translations. Hopefully it'll get translated by someone by the time the show ends.
Thanks for the reply though!

Yeah, right after my comment, I really went and tried to find the book. That's a pity! It really does sound interesting.

where did you read the translated version?

WHY IS THIS NOT TRANSLATED?
I'm gonna cry! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

That makes me so sad. This book sounds like the type of story I would enjoy. Now I am definitely reading this.

Tbh, I don't think either of the male leads are doing a great job? The emperor a little worse than the other. Wang Sen though...he's really working out for me here!
And about the emperor/shifu, you can tell there is something there but the show doesn't really showing properly. There is just a shadow of intimacy there.

idk, I like it! lol

I feel like it's not a lack of skills on the actor's side. The flashbacks are much better and he gives all these dynamic expressions. It's just the present time that is less than ideal.

I feel bad comparing anyone with Mark Chao's performance in 10miles. That was a truly amazing duo and I have to admit it's hard to watch YM with anyone else, knowing she has reached peak chemistry with MC in 10miles! So I wouldn't hold it against the ML here either.

Wow I really dislike that madam ju. At first she was just pathetic but now she is on my blacklist!

I think some really zigzag ageism is at play here. I personally like how cdramas(and kdrams) still have older actresses as main charactes. Meanwhile yang mi is not even that old!!!
I get the exhaustion of seeing a thirty-something year old acting cute and childish to pass as 15 but here, the character is not even like that, so who cares!

Yeah this was on my watchlist because of Yang mi! I don't even like the ml so I almost didn't watch!
