'The Emperor has lost his mind'. Now what? It's all a bit confusing so far, but is shaping up to be a powerful historical drama. Great character brought to life by great actors. What's not to love?
Absolutely first rate. Looking forward to watching My Pages in the 90s. For me he outdid himself starring with Dilraba in Legend on the Turquoise Land. What a hunk and he can kiss too.
I'm really motivate to watch with for Bai Yu but the countless characters being introduced every few seconds and the immense cruelty is making my eyes pop out.
Great romance with the added benefit of an intelligent and likable FL who behaves like an adult when challenges arise. Very good supporting characters for the most part.
Just finished it. Started for CXX, stayed for the very satisfying romance. He's an oustanding ML who has an expressive manner, solid physique, beautiful hands and has become a new addition to my short list of expert kissers. A talent I consider very necessary for these dramas. I could quibble about some of the details of the writing. Did not like the rapprochement with his mother. Also found the theme song annoyingly repetitive.
Watching episodes 23/24 and this writing is really trying my patience. I realize dramas always want to create obstacles and tension but this manufactured relationship crisis is bullshit. If they have a strong foundation, the information she just became aware of should in no way cause her to blame the man she loves. He was a child when the accident happened. Why do these stories always insist that children are responsible for their parent's misdeeds/crimes? These fathers laying guilt trips on their offspring is gross. If this doesn't turn around soon, I'm giving up.
Only 6 episodes to go and I'm already having withdrawal syndrome. Reading all the comments in the meantime. Some are predicting a dire future for this budding romance. Please. No. I haven't enjoyed romantic partners like these for a long time. She charmes the pants of him and he kisses like he means it. More, more, more....
Hu Xiu has a smile that just doesn't quit. No wonder Zhi Yu wants to make her happy every moment of the day. Likely there will be troubled times ahead, but I hope they can weather the storm if only so we can see more of that supreme kissing. Chen Xing Xu has been added to my list (which is short) of outstanding kissers in dramaland. I was worried Pei Zhen would be evil but It's his father instead. How can Zhi Yu's mother choose to live with such a brute. She's in for a shock.
Now both of our FL's relationships are in the sh*tter. For Zhao Xiao Rou it's a grind and for Hu Xiu it's trying to stay professional when the two MLs are haggling over her every move. Pei is going for Zhi Xu's jugular at a time he's in such a dark place unable to touch the warmth she was offering him.
Very satisfying drama with captivating leads. The story of the Rong family is one not often seen. A matriarchal household made up of strong women who struggled for a place in the family and came to know one anothers strenghts. Add to that a love match between two outstandingly intelligent characters. In contrast we were also exposed to the world of the disolute Duke where the women were damaged and isolated. LJL chose wisely.
Ep 16 really hurt! 💔 Seeing them on opposite sides of the 'trauma wall' is brutal. Zhiyu thinks his silence…
Agreed. Do you think she will find out that his father caused the accident (which is false) that injured her father? How would she react? Might she ontinue her support of him and help him get to the bottom of what really happened.

I tend to agree with you. Waiting with tenderhooks for a thawing out in their relationship. Maybe a trip to the murder mystery game where they might need to cooperate would help? I don't mind if there is slow progress as they are delightful to watch.
I'm glad this drama is getting some love in the ratings. Just finished ep 16 and there's trouble in paradise. She's very courageous and risks a lot. He's unable to open up to her having held his trauma in for so long. Unsure of just how evil second lead is?
Love it. Episodes can't come fast enough. The leads hit the drama out of the park. She's a worthy opponent who doesn't let him run away with the score. Saw him opposite Dilraba in Legend of the Turquoise Land. Don't miss it. Hope this script will also find a reason for him to bare his manly chest.
Finally a new historical drama. Looks like it will be fun watching these attractive people interact. Just finished the first episode and it has all the elements needed. Strong, resilient heroine, good looking princes, intriguing backstory. Other than the son of the family she's intended to marry into haven't seen any of the usual evil antagonist.
