Yes! It is a very well-rounded production. I look forward to the episodes each day.

This is why I'm annoyed. The reasoning for the divorce is asinine.

I think he has already shown his character by simply being one of the only people who recognized her for who she was. Let's be real. She wouldn't have even regained her actual identity without him being there in that circus. While her maternal grandmother was putting the brakes on their shenanigans, it wouldn't have gone so well without him. He alone has stood by her this whole time.

I agree with you! To me, this is really poor writing. You can still have a female-centered narrative, but you need to flesh out other storylines, especially the male lead (he's more than a potted plant). We started to see something, and then the whole "evil twin" shenanigans totally stopped it (which, in my opinion, were dragged out too long). I am a bit disappointed with the writing and direction that it seems to be taking, but of course I will see where we go from here.

It is the typical noble idiocy trope, which wasn't really needed here.

I seriously want to punt him in orbit.

Yes! I keep wondering if he really is Lu Zhuo's friend or what, because that is *not* how friends behave toward significant others.

I'm just here like... give them a chance to tell a story, man. 😅

They seemed to have moved them to a discussion thread above: https://kisskh.at/760879-shang-gong-zhu/discussions/156176-drama-achievements-heat-index-ranking-marketshare-etc

Talk about a Twilight Zone palace! Yeah, the Emperor is clearly a puppet at this point. I was like... what a surprise! We have an evil eunuch. 😒

I agree that she is rather unlikable at the moment. However, knowing stories like this, there is probably a reason or five why she is the way she is. There are plenty of episodes left, so I would be surprised if there wasn't some character growth. I actually do like her from time to time; she is just a bit *much* at the moment.

I cackled at the Wei aunts strangling each other and brawling. I think that was the best part of the episode, really. Now I hope Lady Li stews in some misery for all she put our girl through.

That dude waffles when the wind blows. He is Captain Indecision.

I'm staying up late once again to catch episode 16 because there is no way I can wait to find out what happens next. 😅🤣

The only one with a working brain, apparently. I just about clapped out loud that someone finally thought to do that. 😂

Yeah, the Godfather is just screaming suspicious at this point. I heard that statement as well. Also, he can't look at Chen Shan's photo either, which is odd unless he is feeling guilty about something.

I do think Qi Mo is not good, but not so much for the parents' deaths. I think that is too obvious at this point.

I do the same and have also found some great c-noir that are seriously underrated on MDL. I pretty much ignore their ratings.

Mom claims to have spied on her when Grandma Wei brought her to the palace to visit the empress, so she should have some idea of what Wei Rao looks and acts like.

Stop misusing the term "gasslighting." The OP is not gasslighting, but rather sharing their opinion. You are free not to like the comment or name calling, but call it what it is.

Also, I prefer complex characters like YCX. He has his own moral code and is unapologetic about who he is. But at least he is upfront about who he is and doesn't hide it. While I appreciate this character, I don't condone his actions, but do understand him.

I am up to episode 7, and now we have a better idea of what he is up to. But yes, I was over him pretty quickly. That is not how an officer should be. He was also suspicious in how he acted, and I'm surprised it took his mentor so long to really question what he was up to.
