This drama comes with strings attached. I guess you could call this a boating accident, what with three corpses and one gasping fish on board. The newly weds are also in a pickle what with the bride fainting in disbelief over her speechless, blood-soaked groom.

Just started this and I like the look of it, but our ML is being inconsistent when he disapproves of one of his men gambling and immediately does so himself. Then he sets up an elaborate scheme to keep a Minister safe from a ruthless killer and does not anticipate a very predictable method of doing away with someone. He needs to do better if I'm going to be impressed with this drama.

Buddies join up to travel together with various motives. Great banter as they get to know each other. Not much fun lying next to a corpse in this weather the least her savior can do is tell her his name.

Wow, this is what I've been waiting for. Intruiging story with great characters, great action by all: one is untouchable, the other is a rotor blade and she is the unbreakable one.

You really are swimming agaist the tide here with your review of this drama. That said, there certainly was much to enjoy about ADWAD. It cracked me up for many of the episodes at the start and then it seem to peter out.

In general this was a primo production with great action sequences, sets, costumes and soundtrack. I would give it more stars if I could.

It gets better and better as we sprint to the end.

Corpus Delecti! What has that blind prince been hiding? All the princes are acting up. Starting with the most insignificant who has to rely on a pinky swear to get the woman he wants. The gross prince who treat women like sh*t. The ineffective prince who has mommy issues. The prince with the best smile who has married the woman he wants but neither kisses now undresses her on their wedding night instead they decide to 'go to sleep'. How exciting!

Grief, Injustice and Subterfuge is the name of the game here. Characters doing the dirty work for the powerful are paying the price as per usual. Question: How the handsome blind guy get his sight back? It must have been left on the cutting room floor.

The Tiger Tally returns with commander's corpse. A father didn't heed his son's warnings and now we wait to see who caused his demise. Meanwhile, Wan in busy steaming bones to continue to explore the mysteries surrounding Prince Jin and her father's demise. The episode started with the happy announcement of many nuptials to come and ended with the court in the grip of suspicion.

Prince Cheng tries to dress up rape with candles and flowers but ends up being the Pin-Up. Chi lets fly grim intent. This time there was no corpse to ruin their first kiss. This must have distracted her for curing the blind prince. She better get to it or Ning will suffer from guilt and Yan Li will be inconsolable.

Sacrificial lamb pretty boy Yan Li almost got skewered by the perpetrator who was fascinated by his unblemished body. No wonder Ning's got a thing for him. The painter runs out of options, Mr. Li says 'case closed, Chi chases after provisions while Wan sets her sight on a dreamboat.

Wait a Sect, it doesn't seem healthy to join an organization the focuses on human sacrifice and makes you take a piece of your heart to leave their auspices. The member/victim who was interrogated in jail is a good actor (saw him in other dramas). I'm sure Wan will get to the bottom of this case but why bother grilling a fish if you're not going to eat it. I hate all that court prattle and intrigue and wish it would just go away. Glad to see that Li was not flayed and that Ning disolves in tears when she finds him alive in the brothel.

Gruesome! No wonder everyone is puking again. It's hard to face what humans can be capable of doing. We're all hoping the victim is not who we have been made to believe he is.

I agree with some of the reviewers. Episode 8 goes completely off the rails and stopped watching. The male lead is a scrumptious darling and the female lead started off cute and smart and then devolved. I can't rate this because somebody decided ruin what started out as an enjoyable drama.

It's tough for Crown Princes to stay on top of the heap when there are a lot of wannabes. Intricate schemes almost cause multiple casualties. Wan has to to heart surgery with x-ray precision after nearly getting knocked off herself. This foreign princess seems to get away with it as neither the emperor nor Chi punish her murderous rage.

Jealousy is the theme here. I guess when they have no accomplishments of their own, women act out against those of their sex who have self-determination, knowledge and generosity toward others.

Luckily Cupid was generous enough with his arrows to find Chi's heart too and make it throb.

The blood ruby and the little white fox are treasures presented by foreign lands seeking the Emperor's favor. Wan is busy treating the Empress Dowager's ill wind condition and gets rewards galore. Chi becomes one of the prizes to be won by some exotic princess in an archery contest. Wan better hope her arrows go astray.

Child abuse has consequences, but not everyone who is abused turns into necrophilic murderer and cross-dressing is mostly a benign pastime. Pomp and pageantry during the New Years' celebrations at court. It's hard to follow all the palace intrigues between empress and concubine and their respective offspring. The young noble ladies are also in competitive mode. Wan and Ning are amused as they watch the play. Chi is busy strutting his stuff and bolstering the emperor's ego.
