I rather they didn’t do her fake death. It’s not in the novel. I rather have father Gu come back

noooooooooooooo

I’m still waiting for father Gu!!!!!! I need him to be proud of Jiusi! And to reunite with his wife who has been longing for him!

she’ll probably remember playing with such a boy as a child, and might wonder whatever happened to him because one day he just disappeared

right! When YSA called the emperor a stupid coward the whole court murmurs in shock as if they didn’t know this to be the absolute truth! Everything YSA said was true and every single official in that court knew. They have to know. These are old men who have probably seen their share of the imperial palace powerplay. They’re not that dumb. But I don’t blame them for not stepping up. YSA may have nothing much left to lose except for Yeyun, but these old offficials probably have their whole families. One wrong step and they could all be executed.

speaking of LZS’s sworn brother character. he’s a bit different that LZS. He at least seems to know he difference between right and wrong and chooses to do wrong. Or chooses to be indifferent and just follow orders blindly. I don’t think LZS knows the difference between right and wrong anymore. All he knows is that whatever brings down the enemy is right. And whoever protects the enemy is wrong.

Fan Yu really thought that being emperor was going to be fun and games? Now he’s expected to actually work, which I’m sure he hasn’t done a day of it in his life. He’s right about one thing though. Everybody who cared about him is gone. There’s no one left to lecture him or scold him. When he laid by his father’s death bed and said that he was afraid. In that moment I believed that he was just a misguided kid. Despite having the best people around him as a child, good people, intelligent, kind and noble. He somehow still ended up here. Should we blame Fan Xuan for failing to raise his son? Or should we assume that Fan Yu is just born this way?

Don’t tell me that LZS is redeemable or is a tragic character. Or that he has anything other than hatred in his heart. He would kill every first born in the kingdom if it meant he could defeat GJS. Do you see how much blood he has on his hands? It would flood the yellow river. Good thing we have a dam now.

damn. They rally should have moved Zhou family out as well. With the empirical court in such turmoil and Gu as Luo enemy number 1, and Zhou family as their closest allies, they really should have snuck them out as well. Fan Yu might not harm Zhou family, but we know that Luo will stop at nothing to get what he wants. I feel so bad for Zhou Gao Lang, but at least he still have his sons. Poor Zhou Ye and Qin Wan Zhou, their love had barely began to blossoom.

unfortunately he’s done too many misdeeds to be saved. He has to answer for the lives he stole.

isn’t the dowager on her death bed already

sometimes I see people complaining about the 配音 or the dubbing actor and I always have no idea that they’re even being dubbed 😂

i saw some reviews on bilibili where people explain all the non logical things from the first few episodes. I do agree with some of them. But I wouldn’t give the show a 1 star because of that. I also disagree with people that say this show is the best costume drama all year and that it is perfect. I’m still enjoying the show despite its flaws.

isn’t there a show that’s like a 2 on douban and panned in China but it’s like a 7.8 here 😂. I’m like…. ok MDL audience is realllly generous with the scores.

One reason why MDL scores are higher, and why foreign shows on Douban are higher, is because of how foreign language shows work. If the acting, line delivery is bad or awkward it’s less noticeable if you don’t speak the language. For example, I hear that Train to Busan was not as well received in Korea compared to the west. Partly because of the acting. I think the acting was good. But I don’t speak Korean.

Not the case here though, the acting is pretty good.

next thursday and friday

sometimes a message will pop up saying ‘nothing found’. just refresh

When Fan Yu speaks out loud he lowers the IQ of the whole city 🙄

well look at it this way. At least we have another week to enjoy Destined. If the show had a ongoing daily schedule, it would have finished airing already.

😂 right!? I mean it’s completely normal and acceptable for people to move on and find new love when their spouse pass away

he is an outside son, in the books at least ZY has no blood relation to old Zhou
