I thought you had already watched it nd that's why I didn't recommend it to you 😂 I have been waiting for season…
🤣😂🤣😂
I hear you.
Unlike you I was pulled into the story since the FL seemed like a superb actress.
And the Harem politics looked interesting in the beginning.
And then it started losing it's form .. the FL became BORING and dumb .. lost her sharpness. The King was ridiculous and unconvincing .. Xu Cai also unconvincing .. SO SO SO much "talking" SO SO SO much giving away the plot like we are dumb idiots who won't understand what is going on .. and SO SO many giveways BEFORE the reveal that you'd have to have only 3 brain cells left to NOT get what's coming from a mile away .. zero tension .. a whole load of irritation ..
I FFDed to the last 2 eps .. and was GLAD I didnt torture myself !!!
Poor Xu Cai ( he's cute looking BUT is a hammy actor .. flies only on his looks .. loads of good looking actors do that) met a denouement end .. that would be SO pissing off for many. Gimme a break!!
Oh Goodness .. SO SO GLAD I didnt watch the show .. put it on hold after a few eps - you know one of those juicy feel shows you store for when the drought might hit.
It has a 2nd Season OMG and that too with a cliffhanger ending of Season 1??
Wow - comments are flying thick and heavy.. Been off MDL for a while and I see the buildup of convos around many themes.. Tops being about ML being toxic or not.
😝😝
Any way it was 30th Dec 🎊🎊🥂🥂🎊🎊💖💖 Happy birthday to Zhang Ling He turning 26 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 Looking forward to more work from him.
'Skin you' is a common threat in china! My mum says it to me whenever I'm in the house barefoot without slippers!…
Correct..Even in our part of the world elders when angry rant and rave at young ones with choice cusses - "will skin you" is common 😂🤣😂 No need to get all worked up.. It's just a phrase.. No one has been reported skinned till date 🤣
When will they make another drama like this with this level of sophistication, authenticity and soul? In terms…
you know what I AM SO feeling that ;-D
Happy to have finally settled on a drama that I can slow chew my way through .. LOVING the 'maturity' of the cast - director - scriptwriter - set designer - camera person
Ah that rare smell of a well-woven story with nuance and complexity and several layers of dynamics moving the characters along ..
the realistic lighting with torches and flickering lights .. the low key sets as one would expect in a magistrate's home .. the various concubines and their conniving .. nothing loud or excessively dramatic ..
It's as slice of life a feel as it can get for a period drama ..
I hear you.

And FL was absolutely unconvincing for me.
Lemme know how it goes for you?
Not finished yet ..

MDL describes this as a TRILOGY!!
Good heavens !!!
SOKP works so well BECAUSE the characters aren't run of the mill .. AND being SO HOTTT helps .. Beside them being such sooooper actors
cool
Any idea why they were cut?
Strange ..
Is there a strong romance - hot kisses?
Melted my heart on the last day of 2023.
HNY to your mom and you and Fam.
You are such an adorable daughter for sure.
That's my current rewatch run.
Please rise in the New Year
