Very satisfying romantic drama with rich characters who also have the ability to take on evil forces.

I rewatched it and can only say Liu Yuning (top or bottom) is enough to make you melt.

Well, for a Cdrama it was sex adjacent.

Just finished ep 17. Little bit of 'rough sex' at the beginning that resulted in misunderstandings and alienation. He did ask her to come along with him. Didn't she even consider that option?

Interesting. Thanks for this, I'll give it a try.

Episode 12, I'm not feeling it. This whole subplot with 'evil' Qu Min threatening Qian Qian is a sideshow. The female friendship over 'braised pork' works as does live-in hubby's food stall antics. Let's have more revelations on why he's hiding 'under this bushel'.

I just finished it and found it totally captivating throughout. The drama with a formidable female lead. Other characters also added to making this media environment authentic. The corruption of the upper layer of society were expected but the cruelty and debauchery was depressing. I hope there is a season two.

This is definitely better than the ratings indicate. Baek is an amoral hunk of cruelty. For all his charisma, he's totally asexual. Ikeda Yuji is a tall glass of cool, tut has 'daddy' issues.Jang is a laughable goof with a whipsmart cranium. He's a joy to watch. Then he invitable hits his head against that wall of power. I'm just watching the last episode of this and many aspects of Korean hierarchy and culture are really troubling. The regimentation and group-think are fascistic. There's suppost to be another season. What could they possibly do that hasn't been done?

Thanks for the info. I looked up the director and he does have some solid dramas under his belt. Here the writing and the acting could have a lot to do with the end product. I love Liu Yuning as an actor and a human being so as a favor I'm not rating this.

This material really doesn't stand up to Liu Yuning's abilities. What a waste.

I didn't even make it that far. Think I'll spend my time heading back to finish How Are You.

I'm trying to get into this because I'm lacking new historical dramas but am finding the looks of the major characters distracting.

What's with all the 'pale' faces?

Perfect. I loved at from start to finish. The heroine was strong and full of invention. The Prince was courageous, intelligent with a heart of gold.

Had fun watching this 'old' drama now that it's on Netflix. The age gap didn't bother me. These are both attractive people and more mature women make great companions. The story of a modern person living in the ancient times is not new but with the medical angle it was more interesting than usual. ML is a total hunk and will look for all his dramas. Many good side character and while the action was a little outdated it was still exciting. The evil characters were made a little too powerful (noise should have made the blond guy's talent much more vulnerable). The ending needed a hug.

Only on ep. 21 but this is a fascinating historical drama. Hard to keep up with all the characters and their motivations. Bai Yu is doing a great job bringing a young, impetuous prince to life. I have missed his female sidekick very much. His brother, Great King has end-of-life coughing down to a 'T'. Great to know there is a long way to go in this story.

It's not on there.

I don't remember exactly but then I was caught up pretty quickly in Dilraba's character. The supernatural stuff seemed pretty bizarre .

This a superb work of art that evokes a time and place perfectly. The characters' inner selves are revealed slowly as they confront each other's history. The sounds of frenzied competition become muted into a languid style that accompanies friendship and loss.

I don't agree with you, bro.
