BOY was a superior series and far more interesting. The present series is more a xianxia and uses too much CGI that it's unbelievable and not credible (contra BOY). Many watch this because of the boy candy but seriously, the plot and story line was really not that great - revenge, redemption but despite the claims of causes and consequences, the emperor got a free pass and was even meaner - Langya 'duke' was even sacrificed. He was the cause of his obssession and destroys too many families (just like his father) and yet, bore no real consequences. Maybe, the novelist should be clearer on this line and so should the scriptwriter. As for bromance and loyalty, yes, there was that but somehow convoluted when it is contrasted with good and evil and redemption.

Honestly, even if I really like those cases, number of repeted scenes is just hilarious. Some scene were shown…
yes, this constant repeat of scenes don't add much vlue and fillers just detract from the story. this is a downer. becomes actually quite boring...

Hi @PBG. Do you know which group of army uniform is Muqing wearing? In Chinese history, is there such a reformist…
yes, the Tongmenhui is real and arguably the percursor to the KMT and the CPC.

Princess GeGe is with TongMongHui, I am not surprise as in the trailers, it already shown that Liu Lin will pass…
but wasn't his message enclosed with the gift to the Duke? If so, how can be a comrade? Unless he was a double agent sent by MSD? is that likely?

get over the age gap! she’s not 16-17. she’s a grown ass woman with an acting job! people acting like she’s…
Can't understand this obsession with age. Does that matter if the acting, the script or the drama was good? I just started and am not sure if this is any good but will watch the first few episodes to gauge my assessment.

Title In Blossom Spoiler
Speculation on No.1: I think it's Mrs Jia. We only have her word that she escaped the massacre with a hurt leg. Why would Mr Jia allow her to live given that she could probably identify him as the murderer? There is also the fact that she killed him outright when the going was going against him - is that not about silencing him as he would be unlikely to stand up to torture as an enemy spy and would then spill the beans? I find it implausible that she would not know of his shady deals given that she is the 'one who must be obeyed' and really, why use the threat of killing her to force the princess to kill herself?

This drama is set in Ningyuan in 1623 (third year of Tianqi) that I am guessing is a build up to the Battle of…
thanks for the background

Just netflix an that's why Americanisation of the Asian drama scene is becoming a problem. Just look at Vagabond…
American way - fly a kite and then milk it for umpteen seasons. Look at Squid Games and the spinoffs. Not there for Asian audiences but many Asians flock to Netflix as American must be good. Lots of great korean dramas but now all trying to get netflix money and so sad and tragic that the great, gritty kdramas are becoming rare

Why split the drama? Hate that so many dramas are being ruined because of this.
Just netflix an that's why Americanisation of the Asian drama scene is becoming a problem. Just look at Vagabond and how it ends. The days of good kdramas which are gritty and have an end is now subjected to the marketisation of netflix.

As usual, many want to replicate the novel or the manhua, and is often the gripe of many commentators on this drama and other dramas. Sadly, they miss the point - every drama and/or film is an adaptation and is therefore subject to creative approaches. Those who seek 'purity' should stick with their novels/manhuas and live in their little world. Without innovation (adaptation, and hence, we have scripts), we only have the same black and white stuff which is better captured in the novels or manhuas. I wanted a sequel but this 'new' version is really quite poor; the acting is tepid at best and the cgi doesn't add anything of value (at least for me). Yes, the manhua and even the donghua are much better but that is just my view.

This clearly one of the better dramas I have watched. Interestingly, it shows us how corrupt firms are and that…
Great stuff about conglomerates and their debts servicing each subsidiaries. It's a house of cards just like CFCs and the debt-to-equity ratio, private equity firms and their strategies, franchising practices and money to top it, money laundering. Many viewers may not get the gravity of this but it impacts on everyday lives and working people!! Wow, great drama for the more cerebral and discerning viewers.

This clearly one of the better dramas I have watched. Interestingly, it shows us how corrupt firms are and that corporations and professional bodies nilly-willy 'write' the rules/ There's clearly more that can be said but this drama shows us how professional bodies can bankrupt and destroy firms . Just think about the Asian Financial Crisis in 1987 and how may firms in Korea were destroyed by 'accounting numbers' and corporate governance. Or how accounting and advisory consultants milked the system and good firms are sold off to corporate vultures. Not a series for those who want the usual 'romantic' kdramas - one instead for those who want to have a glimpse of the real world of corporations, profits and their financing.
