All i know is his character Isn't ending until ep 37/38🤣
es, I think so too — he is on his way to becoming a madman, an anti-hero who, having taken wrong turns, becomes obsessive and unwell (a classic of the genre as well). And to die in episode 39
And give a minus for all the surgeries and botox — I just can’t take it anymore in dramas! For actors, it completely ruins the emotions on their faces, when an actor’s face should show expressions. They’re already very beautiful — why this obsession among almost all the guys and girls in their 20s and 30s? :)
Also, a plus please for the FL general — who, for once, knows how to make a fight look believable! She’s very convincing in her role and absolutely beautiful!
Add a plus from me too for the scene with the Emperor — both were brilliant! The Emperor, as always, stays in his restrained observation, with a subtle touch of irony… And Chen Zheyuan — he never forgets his character! He truly created an image — you can see it in his gestures, his looks, his way of walking… After those little moments of cuteness, he always comes right back to his role — an artist to his fingertips! 👏
I have the feeling that the emperor seems furious every time, yet there’s also a kind of hidden admiration — for his son’s charisma. It’s as if he’s thinking: “This is how I imagine a future emperor.” And I think it also reminds him of his first wife, whom he apparently truly loved.
In the first episode, the narrator says: “Yi Xiao wounded Sui Ge, and by doing so, she changed the course of…
I believe the main idea here is not only about who and why tried to kill Yi Xiao, but above all about the meaning and consequences of her initial shot.
It is precisely that moment — when Yi Xiao shoots at Sui Ge (the prince) — that sets off an entire chain of events: his wound, Sui Ge’s escape, and the ensuing defeat.
All of this shows that her shot was the central turning point of the whole story.
It seems to me that Qin Shi actually did not want her to kill or even wound Sui Ge — that was part of a larger conspiracy meant to help them win.
But Yi Xiao disrupted their plan, and as a result, several factions emerged that wanted her dead: on one side, Qin Shi tried to deflect her arrow, and on the other, the conspirators and traitors of Sui Ge sought her death as well.
What a beautiful series, I feel like a zombie — I’ve binge-watched 11 episodes in a row... Wonderful! The whole cast is amazing, and both the director and the script are excellent. Especially that 24-year-old guy, he really knows how to choose his roles and acts brilliantly. The series is almost like Chinese art-house with the wibes of When Life Give the T...
I think it’s a suggestion for those who are having a hard time reconciling their expectations with the actual…
The eternal dilemma of modern culture: Either we put our brains on vacation and let ourselves be dazzled by the shiny beauty of it all… Or we shut down every screen, toss aside the trendy books, ghost social media — and retreat into the cave of cynicism, muttering that everything is garbage :)
We see it in all the comments, not just on this drama in particular: "Guys, leave your logic aside, forget your brain, just watch, just read for pleasure, for fun." — And I respond, "Apparently I no longer need my brain in this life " — the very brain I’ve cultivated for years through labor and self-discipline, to actually use it." Everything around us seems designed so we don’t use it anymore "—:)) and the moment we try, watch out: many people get upset
Lately, historical dramas, with some exceptions, present narratives and characters with 21st-century discourse,…
exactely !!! I now accept more the idea that she is different from the others, and that the man who loves her accepts and loves her as she is, that’s all — rather than crushing men, becoming one herself, and on top of that still trying to be a woman on the side. What is that? It means we no longer need men… Well, this is something we see quite often, not just in this drama. True art should awaken thought — it should open doors to reflection, stir questions, provoke shock, ignite debate. Yet we live in an age where, all too often, we seek only to be entertained… and nothing beyond. It’s fine to be entertained, but let it not become like fast food — something we consume endlessly, until we lose our taste for the truly beautiful
This Chinese “historical” series is a true feast for the eyes: luxurious costumes, majestic sets, a constant visual spectacle. The main couple captivates in every shot ❤️❤️💔🌹— pauses, gestures, sensuality, suggestiveness… even in the heat of battle, the heroine remains flawless, not a single strand out of place 😎. I also really like the personalities of both main characters.
But let’s be honest: historical accuracy and seriousness are completely pushed to the background. The consequences of actions, the realism of life in a warrior’s world, the dramatic tensions during battles, and the causes leading to these episodes are largely ignored. This series should be approached with caution: those who have already seen and read many high-quality works can enjoy the spectacle for what it is, without confusing fiction with reality. Others risk forming illusions about history or, worse, taking it as an extremely unrealistic feminist manifesto… Here, the visual aspect reigns supreme, and the relationships and interactions between the protagonists and that’s all.
Wow episode 19 was hard to watch. 😢 This is just my opinion, but I think she should not have gone in his room…
From a story perspective, if they had met outside, she wouldn’t have seen his world — the photos and everything... She would’ve thought he had moved on from her. As for destiny, I’d say it’s a good thing she saw the real him.
A wonderful series! These two are just amazing!! I absolutely love episodes 19-20 — so human, so real. Now this is what I call a natural, genuine show, where the beautiful actors aren't just doing a fashion show. They truly act — and they do it really well!
