I feared that we would get a time jump and Little Emperor would an adult (18) and he would become Xiao Xun 2.0…
that would've really derailed the plot LOL plus in the novel a yu actually does learn to be less co-dependent on her (that's why she can even step down as empress in the first place). that kind of obsessive a yu only exists in fics 😂
And years of being on MDL makes one realized the ratings here are jokes (especially for cdramas) but what’s…
the patience thing is so funny to me because i see complaints about the 24-ep count being too short and i'm just like ? you guys can't even sit through a few of them before complaining about the slow pacing 😂 i really don't get it
i love the cast and the chemistry of the leads but i felt like the story was more about the FL with the ministers…
i'm ngl even in the novel chu zhao's relationships with the other 3 were much more stronger/compelling. but idk it also might just be the screenwriter's fault trying to change xie yanlai's character design
^^^ eternal sky lantern explained it well haha i haven't watched the last ep either but i assume now that after she successfully stabilized the nation she stepped away from court since she no longer had to help a yu rule. so the oath doesn't really count anymore
absolutely loved the glory but i am just ??????? with his work on ATC 😬 he really excels at family storylines but the cp scenes were just so... inexplicable...
ohmygod... (falls to my knees) EP22 is truly a five-course chufang meal... we got scenes of him putting on chu zhao's shoe for her, the family of three sharing dinner, then the jealousy at her favoring XYL, pretty much begging her to stay put!!! and!! he couldn't bear to kill her!!!!!! i'll forgive the screenwriter for adapting their relationship this way because they at least captured all the delicious parts of the dynamic
yes lolol when that fire happened chu zhao kidnapped deng yi to the stronghold, and he basically stayed out of the way until the end where he became a "ghost" (aka he started over from the bottom with his real name. it's kinda funny because the ministers pretty much know he's the same deng yi, but everyone acts as if he really died)
xie san survives the poison, but only barely... he basically can only stay awake for an hour-ish every day, so he's powerless against chu zhao at the end
