These past episodes have been painfully boring. The noble ladies' mannerisms and one-upmanship are tedious to say the least. I hate that Miantang has been put into this environment. The military quest is hardly shown in any detail. The Empress is fending off an annoying older sister so there's been none of the banter between her had the emperor which is so enjoyable. The only couple that's even remotely enjoying their relationship is He Zhen and her devoted doctor.

Sorry for your dismay. Please don't mind if some of us are enjoying the match.

Finished ep 32 and things are going swellingly, but with some dark clouds up ahead. His mother, aunt and intended cousin have their noses out of joint. The happy couple don't care about the naysayers. The other couple (emperor and empress) continue to feel each other out. She's clever and no shrinking violet. I'm enjoying their talks and hope they will keep getting fonder of each other.

Read a lot of the comments below so checked out a few minutes of the beginning. Saw barely one boob.during this oracle seekers entreaty to the heavens. No problem with the commander's shout-out to his troops. It was heartfelt but I always wonder in these situations how any of the troops behind the few in the front are able to hear any of it. I think the blood lust just takes over. Will watch more of this in due course.

Looks promising because the FL is smart, opinionated and kind. ML looks good and even better when he keeps his eyes open. I recognize so many of these actors from other dramas I've watched, it's quite confusing.

The subtitles on this are still unsatisfactory. Not sure Ding Yu Xi can carry off this brutal character we see at the outset? Except for the Dowager Empress who's done this role repeatedly, the other supporting actors are mostly new to me. There are not many new historical Cdramas on offer right now so I guess I'm stuck with it for now. Help?

I'm finding it harder to like Miantang. She's being petulant and spiteful and for what 'getting rescued and healed'? Ziyu isn't much better. Wearing that beaded hat has gone to his head. Getting bored with this whole setup.

Things are certainly looking up for FL and if she's still pining it's not that apparent. The young empress is also quite delightful in her role. Why did Ziyu take Yue'er as a consort? Doesn't he know about her deception in regard to Cui Xing Zhou's battle and how she's responsible for MianTang's maiming and dive off the cliff. The ratings have moved up bit, but have a little ways to go.

I guess my feeling was he was dubbed here. I hate dubbing actors' voices. It removes something from their total performance.

Just started ep 1 and I guess it's supposed to be funny. Visually the intro is non-descriped. The voice over by the ML Tan Jian Ci doesn't sound like him as all but it looks like he's the only one worth watching. Not an encouraging start. Where does that rating come from?

Whenever something doesn't go their way, these righteous noble women take to their beds and cough. He was defying everyone to make her his own to the point of sharing his bath. risking a sharp hairpin in his neck The bath was warm and pleasant but now he's gotten some information that seems to have upset the proverbial apple cart.

We're almost half-way through the drama and Miantang has finally acknowledge that hubby CXZ is the Lord. I don't think he is aware that she is the real Lu Wen and still thinks is Ziyu. Where does the romance go from here? It sounds like his intended bride is holing up with his mother in wait for matrimony. We still don't know where all the money is? Evil Shi Xue Ji is still plotting.

That's an idea I'm going to try to slow it down. Let me know if you come across anything new that's interesting.

All these lies and trying to catch each other out is getting tiresome. While they make a nice looking couple, why continue with the relationship that's going nowhere fast. He's obviously good at telling fairytales, but not so good at performing his marital duties. Now she's making a list and checking it twice while burning her bridges.

First off, Zhoa Quan is acting everyone here out of the park. It helps that his character is well-written. Everyone else has something lacking - memory, integrity, or humour.

Oh, how I wish I had a pork knuckle in front of me right now. The drama is working on a number of potential pairings here. The main couple is dealing with major deception and I can't see how much longer he can keep this ruse up. Another pretty hard to believe situation is how he can find so much time to check on her constantly when he's supposed to be fighting an intense war that the powers be don't want him to survive.

Watching this for the second time and it's still complicated following the subtitles which go by too fast and the plots are pretty intricate to figure out.

It's early in the game and there are powers at play.

Now we're getting somewhere. He kisses her forehead and she plants one on his cheek. Miss He is heartsick. The potential bride is almost through her mourning period, but what lies ahead for her wedding plans? How long is Cui going to be able to keep up the pretense before it all comes tumbling down?
