they'll get together but he dies at age 35 from illness in history, only reigned as emperor for 10yrs... so yea

it's the same grandfather emperor, fat crown prince, and grandson as ming dynasty that's why.

8 eps in, idc much for the food plot. idc for the FL either lol.
hoping su yue hua and taisun fei have good endings but I think these two girls are gonna become villains according to the main trailers. sad :(

I think her father is a doctor but it's weird how their family is caught up in vying for power. anyway, she was helping at her family's medicine place when a poor pregnant woman begged her to prescribe medicine. she wasn't supposed to but did it out of kindness, the woman ended up dying. they blamed her for prescribing incorrectly and her family got her married to avoid trouble. it turns out her family actually increased the dosage on purpose to get her into trouble so they could force her to marry under the pretense of helping her escape her crimes.

she feels guilt for what happened to the woman as well as not wanting to be a puppet for her family. she's currently suicidal, she has been dosing herself with small amounts of poison. when her husband accidentally ate a piece of clementine she was eating he got poisoned a little bit too.

trailers look really good but I'm always hesitant to watch palace dramas bc you know... the usual palace shenanigans and bs lol

I enjoyed it.
9/10 as a rom com, however, the attempt of injecting a thriller/crime element in the plot makes it 8/10 and that's being quite generous bc the rest of the drama was really good.

well damn. peaches has spoken, I will skip lol

let's gooooo

bros I literally thought Mr. wang was GAY. I'm not the only one, right?

btw using r*** as a catalyst for character development is so bleh.

she really went into a coma from a stab wound to the abdomen for 6months?? I mean it was a huge butcher cleaver but damn wtf lol. like what was even the point?

really interesting story but this shouldn't be a 40 eps drama. maybe half the amount? I start skimming around ep 15 until ep 22 then just skipped to the last 2 eps.

it sounds soooo horrible, but I hope qiu min is successful in her "attempt". I can't see her character developing in a positive way; feels like one of those weak/victim characters that go scorched earth with really no valid reasons besides lashing out

idk but the women fashion in the show resembles those from Tang Dynasty.

nothing is confirmed yet. it was just a "reenactment" from what QY was thinking/accusing had happened. I do think someone did it to delay the marriage since if there's a death of an elder in the family the children have to mourn for 3yrs. (yuan long is sus since he was discussing to prevent the marriage right before the mom died)

only thing I'm confused about atm is why the emperor sent his eunuch to personally free the doctor and his daughter from the firewood department, it seemed to have led to a change of confession in court.

I don't think she "loves" XQ. she explained to LY that she wanted to be with XQ because he's the only one available that would accept her despite all her baggage (widow, etc). She describes XQ as a means to and end and it was acceptable to choose him because he treated her well.

We've seen her catching herself in thoughts thinking about LY at times. She never thought about XQ like that.

but yea, due to LY marriage agreement with QM, he pretty much got friend zoned by QY

yup, ancient cultures are quite oppressive towards women across the world. that still exists today in places with ancient beliefs.

sounded like hu rong's voice.
but idk wtf that rewind back to the beach is about lol... so confused

does this get good?
just finishing up ep 4, having a military background... I find all the training/tactical stuff so far pretty corny for a supposedly "elite" group lol

alright idc how this turns out but I'm going to watch the entire thing just because she drank toilet water in the 1st ep lmao.

um she definitely looks a lot cuter with her hair up. also, she's an athlete type of girl who likes to have her hair tied up and out of the way..

yea the anime portrayed the honey trap a lot better. Su Mo was full on trapping and it was only bai ying who fell in love thus breaking the seal, and he didn't realize he genuinely liked/love bai ying until after/as she jumped. it was then that he shed a tear turning into a pearl as it fell towards the falling bai ying.

the drama made Su Mo too conscious of his feelings and decision makings during the honey trap which made the revelation during the jump kinda lacking. they tried to make it a simple "love story" but it really wasn't, it was a bit more complicated than that.
