I'll be weird and say I adore the Dowager's voice 💋

I actually love Tang Dynasty dramas/clothes too.. but these all seem too thrown together/baggy/non-matching. They seem like rags even when they are not supposed to be? IDK... lol maybe I'm wrong on this one :-)

and while I'm complaining.. I kind of hate all the costumes too. There. I said it. LOL

& I'm going to be controversial here and say that not only does the plot seem weird/rocky but also the FL's "daydreams" seem out of place compared to the rest of the drama... an odd choice to insert comedy relief and I've hated them since ep1 since they made me think/set the tone of the drama to be more light-hearted... which it isn't.

I really like the idea of the leads together... but I'm going to be honest, so far their interactions have been mundane at best. We really needed to see some mutual sparks/chemistry at this point and besides the ML literally SAYING he likes the FL/her feistiness... we can't feel/see anything brewing between them at all. With the number of episodes left and what they've shown of how they've interacted together so far... a deep romance seems far-fetched and unbelievable.

oooh adding that one to my list now! :) ty!

I do hope the FL becomes a bit more mature as it progresses! :)

SAME. literally on same episode and same feelings LOL

my first time watching and I'm really loving the more subtle glass/acrylic-like accessories the characters wear in this drama! 😍

:( I'm having a hard time finding Chinese Historicals or xianxias that are good & that I haven't seen already tbh!

I feel like about the time she left the "school" part and everyone found out she was the phoenix.. it just went down hill so fast! There was 0 scene-to-scene transitions, no time to take in what was happening, to appreciate "bad guys", etc. The build up to key moments wasn't great and the key moments/deaths etc were even worse. Honestly felt like I was watching two different show that had been spliced together to create a full length drama. What a mess.

sadly, my interest in this pittered out long ago and I'm skimming to see the ending at this point. Normally I'm sad if there are only 36 ep in this kind of drama, but this one feels like it just isn't interesting enough to have gone past 20. 😴

thank you! I just added that to my list, I think I'll check it out very soon! (:

literally commenting because no one else has LOL & I adore Chen Kun! ;-)

I can't say enough how friggin BRILLIANT Chen Kun is in this! 😍

good news: FINALLY good videos with good subs on youtube! 🎉😘

I made it 17 episodes but don't think I can go further.. a rare drop for me!

i really REALLY hate the ending Uncle Kriang got! That's all. 🤮 he's such garbage

I agree... was so good with fabulous acting, but a few 20 episodes too long for me LOL (as a lot of Turkish dramas tend to be)
