I’m trying very hard to not let her voice bother me and just enjoy the drama but I don’t know if I’ll succeed.

We don’t know how much time she had to spend in jail for her crimes. We just know that she goes off to the police station and her two mothers try to comfort her by saying the sentence may be lenient because of the liver transplant.

She was stripped of her title and she and her mother were exiled. Her father, brother and the half brother of the crown prince were beheaded.

I was really enjoying this older kdrama until the last 3-4 episodes. So far the bad guys are much smarter than the good guys. It’s getting old and exhausting seeing them outwit the hero and heroine. Lol. The very funny scenes from the beginning were at least enjoyable. Here’s hoping it ends strong!

“ The producers specifically enlisted the rising J-Pop artist ao to be the "singing voice" of Sakurai Yukino.” so no, Takaishi Akari was not the actual singer for Yukino.

Here I thought the FL was a genius but after watching her behavior in episode 6 I’m beginning to think not so much. Why would she keep the info that she had met the perpetrator at the bar previously before going in to arbitrate the case? Unless there is some master plan I’m aware of right now she comes across as a novice and not too bright at that? She should have recused herself from this case. I’m not even a lawyer and I know this. I will watch it through and see if my opinion of her changes.

I’m glad I ignored some of the negative reviews. It was more realistic than most. There was no epiphany where bad people became good. There was no poor people who became rich. It was a difficult time and yes there were many failures but the fact they continued to try is the point of the drama. I really loved it and I loved every single flawed character..

I really liked it much more than I thought I would but the ending was weird to me. I’ve lost count on the number of Asian dramas that were really great throughout but the ending was a dud.

Where did you watch this?

Thank you.

Any suggestion where I can watch this? I do not subscribe to iQIYI but I see it is highly rated.

He’s been in many battles and kind of done physically and mentally. It becomes worse when he’s poisoned in order to make sure he completes this dangerous job. Every number of days he has to take an antidote for the poison.

What episode are you on?

Just finished and characters from season 1 and season 2 all came together and it was hard to remember who was who. LOL. In my opinion, I think that the break in between made it difficult to remember certain characters and certain events. I think it would have flowed better if it had been more continuous. I wondering who her cousin Xing ended up with? I can't seem to remember her at all. Does anyone know?

OMG! Episode 12, the ML is stabbed and standing there with a knife protruding out of his chest and continuing to have a real discussion like nothing is amiss. LOL, I cannot stop laughing at how ridiculous this scene is.

You are right. I completely forgot to check spoiler. Thanks for the reminder.

On episode 3 and I need someone to tell me this Chinese drama gets better. I find Li Wei insufferable and so annoying. She's extremely immature and uncouth and I just can't figure out a single reason the prince will fall in love with her.

In one of the episodes a child was buried after being burned all over from a fire but then somehow returned to his mother and then died again from internal wounds while hearing the bell. Any explanation for that? I originally thought he was captured and somehow escaped but his original body was found in the burial ground. This was a haunting, sad and yet beautiful drama which I did not expect.

There have been a few Chinese dramas I have truly enjoyed but a number of them have voice actors for the main characters. This means that the terrific performances do not necessarily belong to the actors/actresses I am watching. I understand that there are voice actors because China wants the same dialect but real actors would learn that specific dialect instead of having their voice dubbed. Please no negative, nasty responses but if you have a decent explanation for this I would not mind hearing it.

I felt it was partially regret of what could have been but also accepting the life she now leads. It reminded me of the last quote from Splendor in the Grass. "Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory of the flower, we will not grieve; rather find strength in what remains behind." Goodbyes are not easy and I read that the writer, Celine Song, wrote it was about 3 goodbyes. One when she leaves Korea as a child. The second is when they stop Skyping with one another in their twenties and then the last goodbye is at the end when each have chosen different paths for their lives.
