when you hit ep 35 and are all like "wow. that escalated quickly!" (>‘o’)>

wtaf? -_-

do you want the actual spoiler? Cause it is super sad.

yes. & I read that he is not supposed to be 100% human. That's why he has supernatural abilities, but a ton of that was censored out. You do notice he can heal/not die after being stabbed through the chest & jump from literally a cliff and land on his feet with someone in his arms... so, yeah, he's a hybrid of sorts?

yes. yes you are. It is going to be a painful journey for all of us!!! :O #HereForIt

I also wondered about that. Technically, she has 2 sons + her husband's concubine's son, right? So it could have been one of them OR a child between her & Han DeRang. Would be nice to have it clarified. :)

watched the last several episodes raw. don't even care to watch them subbed. In the end... just a feeling of well, nothing. The fatal flaw of this drama is that there was absolutely zero emotional connection between the viewer and ANY of the characters, plot, etc. I had SUCH high hopes 15-17 episodes in and MAN did that hope die a quick & painful death. Good thing I have a great #tragedy like "The Wolf" to watch instead. Even watching the raw episodes... I balled my eyes out & am on pins and needles each episode. Maybe I'll see some of you over on that page to chat in the comments. ;-)

there is quite a lot of kissing and skinship in this one!

Also... must say this drama (so far) has been a very pleasant surprise. Enjoying it very much. ^_^

My "satisfactory kiss quotient" is definitely met in this drama #LotsOfSmooches

This show is going to be one of those where YOU are in literal pain the WHOLE time you're watching it. & I'm here for it. LOL!

I don't know why but I was never truly disgusted with MingYi until this scene. UGH. His excuses are too disgustingly selfish. Probably the most self-centered character in any Chinese drama. lol -_-

THANK YOU!! You are amazing! :O

I have been DYING waiting to see EP 40 subbed for this VERY reason!!!

I will say that YY's son's (Emperor) reception to DeRang & YanYan's love & his treatment of his mother & DeRang is REFRESHING and maybe the only memorable part in the past several (44-46?) episodes. everything else... meh. Ep 44 was legit a filler episode & I can't help to think the last 2 episodes will be just as mediocre. I'm left with a final impression summed up in two words: MEH & FORGETTABLE. The magic of drawing watchers in & making them fall in love with the characters & their lives was absolutely missing in this drama.

even though this show is good, it's not great and definitely forgettable. I'm not sure what it is missing, but something is and it's super noticeable. More in the spoiler comment below...

Second sister's moral compass and loyalty had always been questionable at best. She came off as a very selfish and vain character who only really (when it came down to it) cared about what her love interest wanted. Now that by ep41/42 her husband led not only himself but their only son to their demise lusting after the throne... 2nd sister has gone full on Dark Side in plotting her revenge against YanYan. Too bad we all saw this a mile away or it would have been a good plot twist. -_-

whelp, the inevitable happened we all saw coming a mile away with 2nd sister. See spoiler.

in my personal opinion... he doesn't. He may be extremely selfish and makes decisions he has justified as right/worth it in his mind for the greater good of his country and even for his own selfish desires (yanyan), BUT... to go completely to the dark side and murder, plot, poison, etc., I don't think he will. He hasn't so far & I don't see him as "evil" at all. An asshole who disregards friendships/loyalty... maybe. Villainously evil? Not so much.

ooooh the show is amazing by ep50 and somewhat balanced... but I have a feeling things are about to get even more rough for our girl and I'm already dreading it. :O
