I hate all that 'blood is thicker than water' stuff. His uncle is obviously evil and should be put down, so why let him get away with continuously intimidating Nan Heng?
Frustrating to watch the first half of ep 23 where she is being a total nitwit. He's scum of the earth treating his Nightwalkers like trash. They are both having to exist in a sh*tty script. We need a rewrite.
I can't figure out what this Waning River Crescent is for or about as it seems only to have a couple of men play dressup and wear masks while they meet with women they love .It's taking over so much time in the drama and sowing confusion between the sisters. Is that the whole point?
Zhengchun Boudoir is seeing all the action in ep 18. That whipping makes it a bloody romance. Her luscious lips will be his downfall. Oops, it's ep. 19 and they were really HER downfall. Now he's sorry and searching the cold river holding his torch (literally). He's up sh*t's creek with the sadistic emperor so he gets paddled. Then he goes back to the boudoir to get drunk and cry into his cups about what he's lost. She gets found. Damp, bleeding and despite her photographic memory cannot picture getting bedded in the boudoir. She is lost too.
So I'm halfway through so I guess I should rate it. I'm leaning to a 9.5 because this is really an inventive, funny drama. It has good acting, superior production and sound. One small complaint for episodes 19 & 20 is the cutesy voice and silly manners the FL resorted to. She seems too smart to have to go there to get out of the marriage.
Oh no, they've got their hands on the pretty prince and are slicing away at him. The chancellor is on the case but not close enough. Tao Hua's flower is in full bloom but she refuses to do their heinous bidding. Something's gotta give.
Finished ep. 15. The crown prince is demoted; his bromance took the fall (on a rope); the sister is crushed; all the harem is dispersed. The chancellor never seems to have time or inclination to have marital relations. That doesn't bode well for Princess. What's next in the struggle for survival?
Made it to ep 6 so I guess I'll keep going. Haven't mentioned yet how much I like the soundtrack. The tasseled hat cracked me up. ML just can't catch a break. In YiMeng's eyes he's evil incarnate.
I've only done 4 episodes and it's so repetitive. Meany ML who's not quite up to the task of killing this treacherous FL who's not the scriptwriter but somehow managed to rewrite scenes to survive. The general is the same actor Lui Yu Ning had in Prisoner of Beauty but here is not as funny.
How do you say Groundhog Day in Mandarin? Trying to be funning with this "death becomes her" wedding trope can get tiresome. I hung on for two episodes but it's just too ditzy for me.
Half-way through and I'm loving it. What a determined, lovable hero and a feisty, funny female lead. The recap of their passionate night was great. Let's have more.
What a cruel SOB the chancellor is. It's great to see him outsmarted. With photographic memory she can copy the painting and get it out without being suspected like his wife. Cutting up your abdomen is pretty drastic but it means he has to stich her up and get a taste of her blood on the suture. Will he want more of a nibble?
OMG not the 'poisoned pill' again. This trope is used endlessly. The aloof chancellor looks like he will be a hard nut to crack. Harem politics are not my favorite as I hate women trying to harm each other, I prefer stories that have women team up to take on men's power.
