The ZZ versus XW debate is interesting. I'm thoroughly enjoying them for what they are. ZZ is a quiet man, who…
I like how ZZ and XW are aware of each other’s capabilities. However, based on the drama only, I’m not sure if the both have past memories intact. So far, we haven’t been shown any such clues.
Yan Lin has always had a place in my heart. Even in his darkest moments, he still cares and loves Ning. Yan Lin…
He's a good guy. It's nice that the adaption didn't dwell too much on his 1st life negativity. I'm glad he's worthy of JXN's all-out effort in saving him and his family.
I'm looking forward to see how he's going to navigate around the rebels and keep themselves safe. Being able to guard a loved one from harm, whether with wit or force, is worth commending.
Zhang Ling He is simply so good looking in SoKP. He has this dark aura - dark prince, dark wizard, dark fairy, dark lord....just DARK, yet captivating.
It's just toooo goood and going at such a decent pace. The Yan's are in exile but extricated. Without an extra minute to spare, the story moves immediately to the rebels prison break scene. I'm glad we're steering away from the study partner/Dowager Empress/Xue Shu arc and onto the rebels and ZZ.
so the royal family, the xue the yans, they're all related? dingfei/xiewei is the son of duke of xue and sister…
Yes to all your questions EXCEPT how come the emperor doesn't recognize him. DingFei was not quite seven yet when this happened. There was a flashback scene with a background voice that was supposedly belonging to his mom saying it.
Is this drama part of IQiyi's "Sweet On" 2023 lineup i.e. it's predominantly a love story? Not surprised, kinda…
He did pass the exam, ranking 1st place three consecutive years. The emperors and the court throughout history always prize someone with talents achieved through the examination process. We as viewers are given inside knowledge of each character. The Emperor doesn’t have the same insights with a viewer’s lens and even if he does, not at the same magnitude.
What's funny is if I remember correctly, she was described to be on the same level of attractiveness as XN in…
For some reason, she looks old but her profile says she in her late 20's. Maybe that's why she's the only study partner to have her hair down instead of an updo to combat her mature look.
It just baffles me how novel readers say xie wei is so red flag (towards xuening) when at this point in the drama,…
That's why I don't read the novels but just watch the adaptations instead because sometimes there are major changes. I made the mistake of reading a novel in advance once and it ruined the drama viewing experience. Complete lost of overall excitement after waiting for the show to air for a year. I would only read if the drama is so good I just want to continue the story with additional sources. I've read comments from novel readers talking negatively about Yan Li and Xie Wei. Maybe the characters are horrible and morally shady in the novel, but in the drama, they are awesome and haven't done anything that jeopardize their moral compass in the second life.
Why is the dowager so obsessed with making shen jie the crown prince and emperor isn't the current emperor also…
Emperor is Shen. His mom is Xue. Many court officials are under the control of Duke of Xue. So Xue holds a lot of power over the reign now.
If the consort has a son, he is next in line as the future emperor. Consort Qin is not a Xue, but whatever the family last name is. So, her family will take advantage of this and gain more power. Imagine Consort Qin's father, uncle, or brother working in court becoming someone like the next Duke of Xue and Consort Qin becomes the new dowager empress.
That's why the Dowager Empress wants her second son to be new emperor when Shen Lang die. She then can marry her niece, Xue Shu, to Shen Jie, and power can remain with Xue family.
The Dowager Empress is so vile. I was tolerant of her until the latest ep regarding her grandchild. She needs to die, and her puppet Shu can die with her, too!
