I finished this while waiting for the episodes of the perfect crown.

This has potential in early episodes but was ruined because of how they dragged the mystery of the accident and memory loss. A lot of fillers also in the middle episodes, and rushed ending.

I think this will have a higher rating they just made this into a movie.
Overall, a waste of good actors and no rewatch value.

Finally, a truly fun K-drama! I'm completely hooked on this couple and love how their personalities perfectly complement each other. It's such an enjoyable watch. I hope the prime minister doesn't turn evil, I’ve been liking him so far. The side characters add even more entertainment. Let’s savor this while it lasts, because it’s so rare to find a K-drama this captivating these days.

Can someone spoil me, what’s the real identity of wu shi guang? i’m only in episode 6, and I’m very confused

Yan ke🔥🔥🔥why can’t miles wei have this kind of character in a drama as the real ML. He’s always a CEO when he’s the lead.

Whats the identity of fang xian ye? Is he going to be consistently irritating?

Yes ZLH is the ML here.

That entrance though🔥

Ughhh is miles wei the second ML in this? He’s so gorgeous. They better make him evil or I might ship her with dilraba. I was already enjoying the ML and FL tandem, but then he suddenly appeared..😫😆

Same! I was able to finish this for the sake of closure, but also struggled to push through it.

I couldn't have summed up their relationship more perfectly! The constant push and pull drove XW crazy, until he simply couldn't handle it anymore. That tension made their eventual union all the more powerful. I also loved their conversations, they added so much depth. And you’re totally right! falling in love with someone at their worst is a rare, and beautiful thing in dramas.

Yes give it a try, you will like it. FL is also a red flag. So they’re like two peas in a pod. Once you learn the back story of the ML, you will understand his reason for revenge and why he became crazy. I became a fan of ZLH because of this. Bailu is also really good in this role. She doesn’t act cutesy. She was the empress after all.😉

No problem, yes he’s a very good actor you have lots of choices

This is one of the dramas that I always return to every time I feel bored and have nothing fun to watch.

Some say this is a slow burn love story, but even from their first interaction, it's clear that XW is interested in JXN, even if he doesn’t trust her yet (thanks to ZLH's acting).

The female lead (JXN) carries a rich backstory: In her previous life, she was a cruel, manipulative empress who betrayed everyone and caused the deaths of those who loved her. When the male lead (XW) succeeded, she took her own life. Now, in her second life, she remembers everything and acts selflessly to support the second and third MLs. This history also explains her fear of XW.
Her maturity and composed demeanor stem from her past experiences, so don’t expect her to act like a child and to fall in love or trust XW instantly.

Every character, the main, supporting, and villains alike, has their own compelling motivations, which I love. Their intelligence keeps you guessing about who will come out on top in the end.

What truly stands out is that both leads are sharp and consistent with their characters. They don’t sugarcoat their personalities.
The female lead remains clever, manipulative, and decisive until the very end, while XW stays crazy and very petty. Two very wrong characters but very right for each other.

If you love ZLH, watch this because you’ll love him more in this drama. But be ready, he’s a major red flag in this. He portrays a crazy, very petty and obsessive character, but you can forgive him because he’s so good in it. Don’t skip anything, and focus because you might miss his micro expressions. Both leads here are morally grey. They are not the good guys here so you might not agree on how they handle certain situations.
All of the characters have their own motivations so even the villains are not entirely bad, depending on how you look at it.

Warning: If you can’t take RED flag characters you may not like it, and if you’re into GREEN flags you will like the 2nd and 3rd ML more.

I just started watching this, and the story begins to slow down at episode 15. I’m getting frustrated with the amount of times he feels the need to save her. The earlier episodes showed that she’s a badass with a stronger and richer army, so there's no need for him to rescue her. I also hated the part when she got mad at the ML for not helping them during the ambush and thought the irritating SML had died. I mean, the SML literally betrayed them and caused the deaths of his soldiers, so why would they help him again? Then the ML spends his time trying to regain FML's affection, forgetting the betrayal of Cui's army in the first place.

I’m in episode 17, I do hope this improves.
Great acting by both leads though and finally something to show off the talent of sukai. Last drama of his that I loved was AMA.

Still the best ZLH role for me. POJ gets away with anything because of the cinematography which made him even more gorgeous, but character- wise, it’s still the story of kunning palace. This one made me a fan of ZLH.

I love how fierce the FL lead is in battle, but I wish we could see that same strength with the Marquis of Wu’an. It seems like most of his recent victories are thanks to Chang Yu’s skills and her reckless nature. For those reading the novel, is it going to stay this way until the end, just him planning, supporting and obsessing over his wife? Are we going to see some war actions from him as well?

Where do you watch this? I cant find episode 5 with english sub

Continue watching, don’t skip anything. This is the best of ZLH for me, can’t explain, just see for yourself.😉

Thank you!! Good thing they’re both crazy hot, so I can tolerate their madness.
