If you haven' t seen it yet watch the end of ep 14. That was a real kiss and had my lips throbing.

That was a painfully drawn out ending. It took too long to get the evil guy out of the picture. He had already hogged too much of the narrative. Shen Du got his family re instated but why did he think he needed to leave his capable wife out of the picture? I liked her character as a strong, independent woman but found him a bit stiff. Can somebody tell who the young emperor's parents were?

I like this drama a lot expecialy the Queen and some of her cohorts except for her sleezy sister. Got no problem with sex scenes or nudity. It's the killing and debasing of women that bothers me. This is almost the bloodies Kdrama I've seen except for some vapire one and some movies.

Three episodes to go. I don't know how much longer we have to put up with that smarmy creep before he gets his comeuppance? The writers are dragging this torture out way too long.

Very affectionate relationship with pretty tame hugging and the odd focus on their faces coming close filming their lips in anticipation but 'no dice'.

Shen Du has such a calm presence and the couple seem to have a lot of time for hugs in between trying to unravel what the evildoers are up to. Just finished ep 32 so there's plenty more to look forward to.

What's the big deal about 10 years difference. If it was the other way around nobody would think twice. Besides she had to step up when her older sister reneged or the whole family would have been in big doo doo.

Half the time Shen Du looks like he has a stomach ache. I guess having to face the evil deeds of Mr. Mo is no easy task. Yan Xing has a lot more fun with her little entourage/

I'm watching this just for the main lead and because there is not much else until Queen Woo resumes. The FL is a bit of a ditz but kind of endearing. The male friend of the ML who is always chasing his ex is annoying and must have had one of those Korean nose jobs so many of the actors have that makes them all look alike.

No I wasn't being sarcastic. You're the one who objected so strongly to my comment about the drama's turn of events. I was mere expressing how romantic I found the moment.

I'm sorry you've had such a bad experience. It sounds like it was enough to destroy the mood. If you're not totally turned off you might try again in something safer like a hot tub.

I love it all. The FL is doing a fantastic job for such a young actor. Her storyline as an investigator is compelling. Her skills are a coroner are a little hard to believe after some of those cursive glances at the corpses. The ML is finally melting and showing off his dimple when he smiles. Lip action isn't bad either. Most of the supporting crew is very good. Her mother goes a little overboard with the same facial expressions all the time.

What's steamier than a tryst in a hot spring? Now that they are reunited and can be happy lovers, what are the challenges ahead?

Xian Ying is No. 1. Shen Du is gorgeous no that he has softened and even cracks the odd smile. We're finding out a little more about the other characters. So far so good. I'll wait a while longer to rate this drama, but for now it's an 8.5 for me.

Blood and gore galore. The third prince's bloodlust is unquenchable. This drama is definitely not for the fainthearted. Queen Woo's attempt to survive and drag the country with her is breathtaking. Can't make out all the differing factions and their aims at this point. Looking forward to Sept. 11.

Just finishing ep 3 and it's hard to differentiate between all these long-bearded men and their motives except they all seem to be scummy but the 3rd prince has them all beat. How is the Queen going to survive them and her sister?

I'm having to zip through much of this girly girl marriage stuff. Let's get back to the meat of the matter.

Fiction takes license. And we should be happy it does. Who wants to watch dreary dramas about repressive societal strictures against women.

No English subtitles in any of the usual places. I guess they think nobody is interested in these middle-aged actors.
