just finished watching ep 10, the masked man who works with the head of the gang has to be the right chancellor, the build, the voice match.

love your choice of words :)

Kyoto? OMG

I actually think period dramas give him a more manly look, they come always with fighting scenes, intrigues that need to be delivered with fierce and calculated looks etc and costumes dress him up to better support his presence.

As I replied earlier on regarding the dubbing, I literally saw a couple of clips on youtube showing CZY doing dubbing in a studio for this drama, in the video, it shows both him dubbing and the scene. He did the dubbing himself.

He didnt use his own voice? I actually saw a couple of clips on youtube in which he was in a recording studio dubbing scenes.

Chen Zhe Yuan is perfect for this role, a young emperor who struggles to shine, to reform the country and rid of being held hostage by the elderly in court. Jeremy Xu is too matured for this role, and frankly speaking, to me, his poise and diction in period dramas have always been lacking, or else with the years he has has in this industry, he would have made a more successful career. As for the female lead, yes, she does look a bit old for her role here, but hey she is a badass for this type of character, I personally prefer to see her here than younger actresses who perform perfunctorily or even less only because they are young and pretty. There are plenty young and beautiful actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry, but only a few can really own the characters they play and not self conscious in front of a rolling camera.

I do hope so, they have been feeding us with one daily episode since Friday. This airing schedule can't boost viewership, I literally skipped watching when they stopped giving 2 episodes a day, and "sustain" my thirst thru catching glimpse of previews until I at least get a couple of episodes to watch in one go.

this one episode a day is permanent till the end???

Poor acting, excessive AI effects, your very own personal opinions.

my exact sentiments!!😉😉

music to my ears 😄, so hate to spend time and efforts to watch dramas that throw my spirit to the ditch with bad endings, especially when unnecessary.

of course, they know how to play us. So you have read the novel a long time ago, could you tell me if the leads survive and live happily ever after at turns end 😉?

There are trailers, previews on YouTube of this drama that I find utmost unsettling, the FL putting a knife into the emperor's chest, the Lefr Chancellor beating the hell out of the king with his dragon stick while he was literally on his knees, the leader of the gang blowing a whistle to command half humans locked up in cells... I didn't read the novel, so I don't know if these are in the book as well.., but I can't imagine how these all can happen..

life is not only just fun and laughters, right?

I didn't actually follow this drama until yesterday, I am finding it.really Heart breaking and yet positive, contructive. I feel their pain and their love. A good story delivered by an excellent lead couple and great supporting cast. The leads really own the roles, their acting, appearance are top notch.

Great efforts, let's not give voice to bias complaints.

shallow? hardly my feeling about this drama. And yes， I like complex story too, have watched plenty in decades and this screen play hasn't disappointed me so far.

I don't find it slow, I. fact I find the pacing is well distributed, up to now.

I agree with you, I like this drama even more than Blossoms of power, it is richer in content and the cast are just as great, if not better
