Yes, she sang in ep 7 during the wedding scene

Thank you! "fictional characters going through things in fictional world during a period of human history"- I totally agree. This person is so fixated with this age thing when it's the norm in real history. She probably only watches kdrama since kdrama is all idol romcom or comedy.

You seriously have a problem. You are mixing the actor's real age with the fl's character's age. The male character is around 26, in the FICTIONAL NOVEL, he is about 12years older than her. Do you not get the plot of the drama. He didn't want to marry her he also knows she's too young as she just had her coming of age. The whole scenario was his main wife wanting one of her sisters to marry her husband to secure her son as heir to the family. If this tiny age thing is an issue then you really can't ever watch proper Chinese period dramas, since ALL FEMALES were to marry around 15-17. Any older (18+) unmarried were considered spinsters back then. Take your 21st century values away from proper period dramas. This isn't pedophilia, nor do I support them. This was the way society worked back in China, anyone that knows Chinese history or even watched a proper Chinese period drama would know this is the norm and no one makes a fuss or care about the age. In the drama or novel, he isn't a pedophile cuz there's no such concept back then, and as an actor he definitely isn't one, since the actress is 30. For god's sake, don't watch any more period dramas, stick to kid shows since I'm sure they are all age appropriate.

Aaah, ok. The script writer is from Princess Weiyoung. That's already a precaution there. I just hope it gets better. As for the drama being subliminal message for women to marry....I think you are thinking too much into this. I'm sure many 21st educated Chinese women have their own values and mindsets. They won't be deterred just from a drama or accumulated dramas of similar concepts. They know it's a period drama and can differentiate the values of then vs now.

I'm so happy Seven got to be part of the Soundtrack for this drama!!! I can hear her sing again!!!

https://dramasq.xyz/cn210226/7.html#4 link to ep 7. but Idk if the link works for you. It's not subbed. Will never be subbed since it's a chinese website. You can watch on wetv, they have first two eps subbed

omg, really Yehua??! I didn't even recognize that. My mom recognized that voice as Wallace's regular voice dubber.

No offence but this isn't a kdrama.

Historical with modern values...that's only possible if the fl or ml time travelled and it's a sitcom. A proper period drama would never have that or else it would be bashed by Chinese viewers.

Actually, the drama already made the fl more older, she already passed her coming of age before she married. In the novel. her coming of age was about 2 years after marriage. Plus, they never consummated the marriage. The ml waited until she was much older.

I get you, but this is a period drama. That's how they were taught and that's how society operated. They even had to read these books about serving husband and son, how girls not knowledgeable is a virtue etc. Putting 21st century thoughts won't help and it will deter you from enjoying a period drama.

Watched up to ep 5 (not subbed), so far it's pretty good. I like that the fl isn't a dimwitt, has high IQ and decent EQ. I love watching Seven Tan cry. Her crying just gets to me.

6 countries airing The Sword and the Brocade!!! Japan, Korea, Philippines, Spain, Vietnam, and Indonesia!!! I hope this drama will be a hit

Haha. The more angst means the happier the ending.

I guess stuff has to happen in order to keep the audience enticed. There will be heartbreak but i think the fl can handle it. It's a HE afterall.

Same!! I'm soo excited. They released another OST MV with the female singer.

That's what the poster and what they posted on weibo announced. I'm not sure if it will be the same for wetv or w.e platforms you will watch on.

Why worry about his fam?

I'm so proud of Seven( 谭松韵) and Wallace! Japan and Thailand has bought rights to The Sword and the Brocade!! It's not common for foreign countries to buy the rights to a cdrama BEFORE it even airs. Typically after it airs since they can see whether the drama is a hype/success or not. So this means other countries have faith and great expectations for this drama and the main leads

Tencent released airing date to be 2 eps 6days a week, except thurs. And from Mar 1, only mon to wed.
