If anyone has read the novel, please share a spoiler how did the love affair between the Empress and the Prince…
These elements of the relationship between the empress and the third prince (until chapter 131 of the book, there are none. And the book has 246 chapters). This part about the poison in JTH and SZY's search for a cure, that is consistent with the book. But the king's pills, no.
Considering how little of the novel made it in the drama....
I think the romance is pretty intense right now. (I mean: in how they feel about each other). I just watched episode 24. They love each other without a doubt. He's more open about it. She's not. But...definitely...they love each other.
Well then you have to consider the ML's background too. At that point - when he first encounter her -- he was…
In the book the limits were really "crossing the line". But the drama improved a lot in this regard. Novel and drama (there is this unlikely love story). It really is: unlikely.
Is it only me or do people have problem with 3rd prince's acting? He was super cool In FIYS, but I think he is…
I think he's perfect as a villain. I've never seen this actor before. I saw him here. I thought that because he's so handsome he wouldn't be convincing in this coldness, but he's convincing, including in that confrontation with Shen Zai Ye and Jiang Tao Hua in the palace. He's being very convincing to me. And his smile is fake, ironic, testing whoever he wants to test. He's quite natural in this interpretation. And in real life he also has a strong voice. He is a perfect: another side of the coin with the fourth prince. He's a perfect: flip side of the coin with the fourth prince. (And the actor for the fourth prince, despite looking so skinny, I think he also could pull off a villain role.)
Well then you have to consider the ML's background too. At that point - when he first encounter her -- he was…
Even in the book, it's not a heavy romance (it's still a romance, a love story). It couldn't be the same as the drama "The King's Woman", with Diraba Dimurat and actor Bin. I hated the ending of "The King's Woman". Thank goodness this drama isn't like that. Not even "Bloody Romance", a really heavy drama to watch. (And the ending of the book is a happy ending, worthy of the most romantic dramas there are). So this drama has that lightness too.
Now we can see WHAT will happen to Changjue once Zaiye takes action... 😭 And bcos the drama is from ML's pov,…
It's from both of their points of view, and there's even that inner voice being shown all the time in the drama (from both of them). I even thought it was more focused on him (because he's the first on the cast list), but no, it's well balanced, and it's good like that. There are even episodes where SZY only appeared at the end.

The drama has a source, and throughout the book there is this ambiguity between love and distrust. They sleep together, they talk, they scheme (but still without confessing their love). And in the drama it is as she says (I am just a flower among the many flowers of Shen Zai Ye). That is until the episode 5, because we know he got rid of the other flowers. In the book, she begins to confess her love (to herself, recognizing the jealousy she begins to feel. And SZY begins to show his love for the lack he feels of having intimacy with her (this was when she lived in the prince's palace). So, I think the drama manages to show this ambiguity between love (and indifference, distrust). It is a double feeling that they feel (and the drama tries hard to show this). And I think it succeeds. We are always: They love each other. They don't love each other. But, in a certain way in the drama and in the book (the love is more evident on SZY's part). She only showed this feeling in the drama, it wasn't jealousy (but the memory of the intimacy she had with him, the flashes of memory). She feels the pain, because this feeling is revealed to herself now, but she herself has a closed heart more than SZY. To the point that he says, "You are crueler than me." He is speaking in the sense of love.
Omg finally someone said this i really don't know what people are hyping fl for??All the time she had her eyes…
1-A moment but forever: 2-Kill me love me; 3-Cong Shan (I started reading) 4- Against the current (I started reading) 5-The princess Gambit. 6-Love Never Fails. The links to the English novels are on the respective drama page.
I don't know why they complain about amnesia. Something so short. She already remembered everything. I don't understand…
The source, the book, always helps me understand what they did with the drama. Even because some people like to detract from the drama, saying that the book is much better. So, I read it, for myself. (Yes, should it be clearer in the drama? Maybe. But even in the drama we notice a bit of her coldness. She was using his feelings. She is strong, even tied up, she still has the presence of mind to use SZY's emotions. And I was able to notice these nuances in the drama. (In the book these elements are clearer, but we can also notice them in the drama).
