The idea of conception not being possible for mammals in space was not something I was aware of or even thought about, so that was a novel concept. Also, the wild reasons for which people will want to travel into space stir a lot of questions in my mind. It truly is the new frontier. With non-astronaut individuals being able to travel to space now, the plot of the drama was relevant to our times. I am only on episode two, so I don’t know the crassness of which you speak.
Next time, don’t be so quick to laugh at another commenter without trying to understand what they mean first. That’s rude. Not nice.
Not true, but ok. Think what you like. The goofiness and comedy of the show isn’t lost on me; even still it stir questions and makes me look things up. That scene where she had to hold her feet under the pipes in order to save his life because of the weightlessness of space prompted many questions and was a great representation of what it would be like out there. The way the blood spewed from her toe in droplets and floated. The way they had to suction the blood and vomit from the air to clean up the mess—all very fascinating.
I’m not sure exactly which part you didn’t understand, but from what I’ve seen so far, the story revolves…
The emperor is Mr. Third. His older brother (who is corrupt, has many supporters in his pocket, and probably would like to steal the throne) is Prince (aka King) Ning. The King of Ning is not the emperor. Prince/King of Ning is likely the son of a royal concubine, whereas Mr. Third (the emperor) is son of the Queen.
On episode 2. Excellent drama. Current. Savvy. Really funny. Educational. Novel concepts. Certainly, space-themed shows are nothing new, but the IVF angle is novel. Ep 1 didn’t grab me at first. Glad I stuck with it.
OK, first question how does her own family not know that he’s a she. And is princess in red dress going to be…
Her father and sisters know the truth, but I guess the servants have been put under a gag order and are extremely loyal. The story the father put out there is that Qiluo was sent away to recouperate from some illness to explain her disappearance and her “brother” Feifan is the only one the other relatives see because the daughters are not allowed to go about freely too much so as to protect them and the family secrets. That’s at least what I can piece together.
She’s still doing dramas because she needs to work and acting is her chosen profession. Bills to pay, child…
She got into some trouble a year or so ago and many companies dropped her as their model/brand ambassador. But, yes, normally endorsement deals are a major source of income for popular actors. They lose their popularity, however, if they are not doing dramas regularly. So, one leads to the other.
