How are the twins kids working out their get up - especially the hair??
Where does the boy get the extra long hair? Who does his hair? Is there a hidden costumer he summons? How does girl tuck her hair in so well into her head gear.
I wish these were not getting in the way.
Anyway waiting to see how the adult actors turn out.
OmyGawd - bring on the Beyotch - in - Chief... She is making my tummy tumble roll with anxiety.
Hats off to an actress who could raise goosebumps along your spine and a writer who created one like this!!
I truly hope a solid and satisfying explanation exists justifying her ability to behave so fearlessly and wield such extraordinary power over the Emperor and his officials (?)
As well as a proper explanation of Scholar Shen's actions motivations behaviours.
We still have no clue what gears are moving their hearts and minds.. we know only of XF and Duke Su goals and motivations.
There is romance and in the whole series there are hints about who like who and it's pretty obvious with who the…
Thanks @Loretti for your patient responses and engagement with my rants LOL
I truly didnt expect anyone to come to this thread .. the last entry was some 2 years ago .. and others like 12-8 years ago.
I might consider going back if you tell me that at some point Vic get all HOT for Chen and there are MORE kiss scenes ..
You see I am a SUCKER for romance (esp between bad-assed characters) even it's hint .. especially if it is a very important part of the whole story ;-D
For example "CRUEL CITY" have you watched that? 10/10 all time WOW

p.s. I dropped it .. too messy and tangled thoughtless mess .. am sure it was a change of scriptwriter or something who had NO idea what happened in the first half of the story and went off on her / his own trip (DREAMER trip?)

So are you saying they ARE NOT bro and sis??
Do they quickly dispel this for the viewer and have some more 'angsty HOT scenes' between Vic and Chen .. Or do they keep showing 'heat'beween them EVEN as they know they are sibs.
It's a TOTAL TURN OFF for me :-(
The ONLY drama which was able to 'pull off' a similar set up was "That Winter, The Wind Blows'
ALSO a 'thriller' - how did they get around it? - one party pretended to be the bro .. for ulterior (duping family of money) motive so we are OK to go along - sis is unknowing and but she starts to suspect and cools off and later is very wary - sis has a complete breakdown (but we aren't turned off - because WE KNOW there is NO incest)
In this WE KNOW their is 'incest' because the story established WITHOUT DOUBT that they are bio sibs - AFTER they have done skinship BIG TIME.
No hint of that it may not be so.
The WORST is the introduction of a dull - candy FL role who is not established in the 'set up of important characters' in early eps; no build up AT ALL. She is plonked suddenly Midway in the show; and ALL this pent up rom (first love) stuff is raised and ended in 2 - 3 eps???
WHO GOT the flutters watching them swinging at the Amusement Park - I prolly would have taken an Instagram break .. I got more flutters watching Chen Li all emo learning of this trip.
FL is drawn FLAT WHITE ANGEL WINGS with ZERO definition next to these well etched out 3 D Main Roles. She gives these 'dental advt' smiles and I wished I could either write her OUT of it .. OR CUMMON make that a STRONG SOLID FL with proper fleshing out and SOME colour and SPINE with some SERIOUS investment in their connection buildup.
I mean one would imagine that she would be a passing blip in the Vic story .. the larger ROM angle being with Chen (that is the ONE that seethed with PASSION).
I don't know I was like SO mad at being cheated of a show with great potential and the GORGEOUS Vic and the spunky Chen

YES they did have a HOT SIZZLE of a kiss followed by few more heart fluttering HIGH HEAT INDEX CLOSENESS and dialogues..
I have ONLY watched KDramas and CDramas till date .. and am used to the the 'push and pull' .. the 'giveaways' of who ends with who, so expectations are almost 99% met .. the ML - FL setups are not difficult to guess and root for.
I have been fooled ONLY maybe 4-5 times (during my 600 plus drama journey over 4 years almost).
I couldn't understand WHY the 'sizzle set up' though; for a bro and sis ??? It's like the WORST kind of yanking the viewer's chain!!!
AT least the CDramas - KDramas .. that pulled a hooky on the viewer HAD A REASON .. it made sense at the end.
K-Drama 
2 
YUP.
And sometimes side by side with The Princess Royal <3
YAY
This has come to VIKI now ..
Enjoy ..
So balanced and en point.👍🏽
I thought I'd not even find a review like this - in the midst of all out fangirling 😂😂
I have a few additional things to say which I will return with for sure.
Love her.
She brings JOY whatver sort of Drama she is in.
BUT ALAS..
Couldn't proceed beyond eps 3!! 🥱🥱
DRAAAAAAAAAAAG.
Or maybe it wasn't a a Drama one should have approached after THE DOUBLE 🙈🙈
The identity switch drew me like a moth - blind moth🫣
Sigh!!
It Could Have been a drama with great potential..
But one that begins with such a limp.. 😒
Where does the boy get the extra long hair?
Who does his hair? Is there a hidden costumer he summons?

My stomach is in a pincer squeeze - and breath stuck in the windpipe...
Feels like "Cersei" chill again.. She spawned her doppelganger in The Double🥶☠️👹🥶
And Winter is Coming... RUN Xiao Heng.. Xue FF you need a loyal dragon to breath hellfire and flap it's giant wings over Eldest Gonju pavillion
Absolutely makes no sense.
I hope AI can get to a level where it begins to translate almost human quality
And I'm almost bursting a nerve from yearning to watch this show
"you look handsome when you're angry".
What a brilliant gender switch - till date our ears have rotted to this being spoken by an ML to an FL..
Oh this was delish. My first time hearing this spoken to an ML by an FL in ANY DRAMA - I have almost 600 completed shows under my belt 🤣😂🤣😂
