I am disappointed that they changed the ending (vol 2 for the novel) as such, the novel is so much more epic with all da feng citizen standing by him, ministers speaking for him with the chief astrologer and yunlu director backing him up so much so that the emperor had to confess that the 3k li massacre was condoned by the emperor himself and eventually forced to issue edict of self reproach. tell me if that is not epic compared to everybody forgetting him? Gosh im so mad.

His yunzhou death in the novel had been so much fancier too, dying with multiple sword slashes wounds and arrows on the body like a pincushion, dying while standing up, leaning against his sword in order to protect the chief investigator from rebelling Yunzhou army. He cut down 200 enemies before perishing, that was when the Swallow Maiden army arrived to the rescue. His death in the novel reminded me of General Aoki in Kingdom movie when he died sitting up and smiling on his horse. Honestly I love this show, but the novel is sooooo much better i cant fathom why they had to change it? Urghhh

They really dumbed down the ML. With his intelect as a detective, he shouldve realized her ruse so much earlier. Ep 18 is like damn how dumb are you?! 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

Exactlayyyyy. The last episode is so damn unnecessary. What a selfish man and a foolish woman. I didnt even finish watching the last episode, dropped it when FL started running after ML right after she knew that he has been watching her for a year. That suppose to make ghosting her better? What a sleazy bastard.

Horrible ending for me cuz the leads got back together.

Exactlyyyy. I hated everything of the romance part of this show. I stopped midway of the final episode because i just cant stand how clingy FL and how selfish ML is. Already knew FL wouldve forgiven him right away so why waste my time. She literally throw herself to ml every single time anyway. What a cringe

hahaha which show is that? My memory might have failed me, but the only show i saw with translator had been red swan and yeah theyre not impressive 😂 thank god for the subs!

Yeaa ive been watching chinese wuxia xianxia drama since i was ten, even now when im forty the part where they cough blood due to emotional distress always make me drop laughing. 🤣

Exactlayyyyy! I really dont get is it really that hard to just learn to say their english lines coherently. Its a rare occasion that i can even catch what theyre saying, let alone understand it. I dont care how famous they are, if they wouldnt learn proper english pronunciation because their english lines are just fillers instead of a real conversation, then theyre just another mediocre actor who wouldnt put in effort in making their characters real.

And you still fail to understand my point here. They DONT NEED TO SPEAK ENGLISH WITH A NATIVE ACCENT, just speak so everybody else can understand. I just mention stella character because she nailed it as a korean from abroad but thats because she is american. Other actors that doesnt have such background just need to put in more effort is all. A short conversational english class would do the trick. And all u gotta do is speak your own english lines (which arent many). Failure to do this is just poor effort on their part.

Omg i cant wait!!!!! Dae jang geum has been my all time kdrama favourite since i was a teenager.

Still doesnt make sense if that accent prevents you from speaking intelligible english. Like i said, theres no need for them to completely speak without korean accent, or with english accent like stella hwang character from partners from justice, but at least speak your english line convincingly like somebody who converse regularly in it. A korean who works as a lobbyist in america would do a pretty lousy job if he speaks english like jayden does. Especially when his character is supposed to be raised in america 🤣

Dont know which hollywood c-d grade youve been watching that has intelligible english, but those that i watched are ones that i can perfectly understand. And quit with the budget excuse already, even with high budget drama i still see horrible depiction of “korean from abroad” characters. If youre saying budget is the contraint then all kdrama are low budget except partners for justice cuz they had awesome korean american there.

No i havent 😆😂 dang when i got the notification i thought you were going to answer my question 😆 currently watching kdrama. Will take a while before i can switch back to cdrama 😆 this title is still in my watchlist. Quite a long way back there though.

Same i was also rooting for jayden. He was obviously victim of circumstances. No different that ML and FL.

Yea i must say the most horrible scene must have been the scene where 14th prince came back gallopping on his horse. What a joke. Maybe they didnt have enough budget for cgi. But yeah, the show in its entirety is really boring, the inly drive how i managed to finish is because i wanted to see Lin Geng Xin in his best role 🤣. I loved the last 3 episodes cuz the ML got what he deserved. So glad the FL died in 14th prince arms instead.

No i havent watched mouse but i can imagine cuz thats what i see in almost every kdrama. From all the shows that i’ve seen, The only character who excelled at being ‘korean from abroad’ is the medical examiner from Partners for Justice, now she spoke perfect english with accent in line with her character who studied broad in the US, and thats only because she is korean american in real life.

It’s a shame they cant work on their characters more. I mean, just practice to pronounce your english line properly, that is all that it takes. we dont need you to be excellent in english as a whole. At least make that character of yours believable for the audience. Yeah it’s really weird why no one in the industry look at this seriously. I mean, their show is mostly good, i would expect they show more effort in making the character from abroad believable.

Thanks! I will!

Thanks so much for responding

Do i need to watch the witch movies before this one to understand the story? I havent watched both the witch movies yet.

It’s really funny to see korean american lobbyist who has been living in the US for so long and yet was speaking incomprehensible english with thick korean accent. 😆 most kdrama suffer from this. I just finished ghost doctor, and the FL who supposedly has been living in US for the past 12years, and working in Australia later, still speak with super thick korean english which indicates the role doesnt converse in it regularly. Had it not for the subs, even i cannot catch on what they were supposedly saying in english. I would expect theyd put in more effort like taking up conversational english classes or some sort so they can deliver their lines more convincingly and make the role more believable.

The only character with decent english in this show is Jayden’s sidekick. At least I can understand when he occasionally speaks english.

Lol i thought i was the only one not feeling the romantic vibe here. It looked so damn unnecessary and too sudden. Dont sell me with that love at first sight bullshit, somebody with an objective like rain’s character wont fall in love that easily (and damn quickly). Anf if they do, they wont blatantly go off and show it each time they got alone with the love interest.

I was rolling my eyes and laughing each time they hugged or kissed and somebody took pictures. I guess the romance was all for the chairwoman to make rumours of.
