I like how LLTG captures the royal family’s relationships and its complexity. It’s like watching a reality show set in historical time with all the dramas and internal conflicts, but presents it like a typical, big, chaebol family.
I also find it most interesting that a few times when Consort Yue enters the scene, the Emperor takes a backseat stance with a knowing look on his face. He knows those in the room are going to get a good verbal whipping and put into their places by the consort. Yes, we know she wears the pants and means business regarding family issues. Even though he’s the Emperor who rules the nation, she has equal authority when it comes to managing the family. Not to mention, he enjoys her coming to the rescue.
Why do you guys think SS's parents were not invited to the empress's birthday banquet?Isn't SS's father a court…
SS’s dad is a low rank general as mentioned many times by several people, so he doesn’t qualify under that status. CSS and LBY aren’t married yet, so they can’t attend as “in-law” status either.
YS seems to be a new court official with the ministry of Justice.
I'm finally caught up with all the episodes. Wow, I have to say I'm very impressed with ZLS crying scene in ep 36. It feels so real. I could feel her pain and sadness.
On another note, the self-defense scene between CSS and LBY right afterward is so sweet.
From hearsay, the original author wanted YD and YY be together in the end, but her readers threw a fit and protested against it because YY treated her poorly, while Yu Mo catered to her and was there for her all the times. So, the author succumbed to her fans/readers' pressure and wish, shifted gear and changed the couple to YuMo and YD.
Ps. Can we split C? You get Mon- thurs, and I have him Fri-sun. We alternate schedule every 2 months. 😛👌😀🥰
