This has got to be a 10 star episode. Victory and consumation. First I always wondered who feeds all those tens of thousands of defeated troops? That general friend of the new emperor is a piece of work. He constantly talks shit about Jiusi, Yuru and his own son. The general finally sees his son is smarter than he is. Is there a female general in the wings?
I really want to watch this, but the mom in the first season annoyed me so much that I am unsure whether I should…
Same here, grandma is pretty hard to take but eventually redeems herself. The drama is well worth watching for all the other characters - good and not so good.
Just started ep 19 and just loved the 'pussy payback' and so on that GJS inadvertently gave his 'buddy'. I love it whenever a donkey comes into the picture. Yuru is sticking to her plans. Even the sour-faced concubine is put to work. Let the face-painting begin.
It is the slowest romance. It killed me while it healed me in the book. Thats cause its also the strongest romance…
Having read the book you can anticipate what happens if they stay true to it. I suspect at some point Zishang is going to kidnap Yuru and would put our lovers at risk. To combat the slowness I've speeded it up somewhat but can still read the subtitles.
I just limped my way through episode 17, for some reason the action on the site kept hesitating every few seconds. Very sad the Gu business is folding, but at least the young family members are on the same page. I still wish they would get a little romance going sooner than later. Juisi has such a cute face and his ears are the most adorable.
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.

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