In episode 12 Yuru went totally whine-ass trying to get her mother to leave her husband. I thought she's supposed to raise that concubine's son Mao? This was a turn-off for this character.
I'm on episode 6 and I'm wondering why do both the obese women have it in for the imperial chef? It looks like there is no romance for her with the prince, so why am I watching all the boring prep cooking and smacking their lips if there's no payoff?
Just finished this epic drama. Was absolutely great. With characters that displayed the range of emotion of love, courage, loyalty, intelligence, doubt, evil, betrayal. The ending was to be expected given the historic figure it was based on.
So is it good? Many people were commenting that the ML is weak and not ingenious.
Many people can be wrong. He is not your typical hero with a different skill set than most that's what makes him not only ingenious but also intriguing and very handsome on top of all that. Then there are all the other characters worth watching.
I took my sweet time over the last episodes making sure I didn't miss a word, sound or image. I guess I could comment on all the reveals and all the situations which made the drama so 'ingenious', but I'll let other people give away the spoilers, suffice to say I haven't been this engaged with a story and characters since The Longest Day in Chang'an and Nirvana In Fire.
Four to go. I'm going to be so sorry when I get to the end. The heart-to-heart between Yun Xiang and Ming Yu made me cry. Waiting for big reveal at the Sect.
I just finished Ep 31. It was the most emotional episode for me. Some Youtuber who is amateur to criticize this…
I agree. Can't figure out why this drama attracts so much criticism. I find it a very uniqhe take on the hero for a change. The story is very involved but if you're patient it is rewarding. The supporting actors are all superb and some of the settings incredibly beautiful. I was thinking how sorry I will be to leave them all behind.
Just watching ep 29 finally Yu Xiang seems to be coming out of his drunken stupor. Mr. Mo is so cute when he's in a huff. Major intrigue with new characters in the mix.

On other sites I've often enjoyed the comments, although there were spoilers.
