YESS!!! So it could air any time now? I hope it's sooner rather than later

100% agree! The ending could not have been more perfect! I hate it when they rush the ending for a drama, have the characters be apart for x amount of time and then just reunite the couple in the last minute of the last episode to make a happy ending

Yeah, he is a painful character. But I take him as a comedic element -kind of character. He doesn't seem that serious most of the time, but being an emperor.... it's not great

The korean version was so good! I'll definitely check this version out

I just watched it! The set and cast look so beautiful... Let's hope it airs soon!

That's true! I would say the love-hate relationship applies only in the very beginning when they were primarily seeking benefits for their own armies. Later they were very solid in their love even though they had disagreements or got mad at each other

I really like Ren jia Lun and enjoy most of his dramas, this one was not an exception.I love spy/police/mystery drama shows! Any suggestions for similar dramas to this one?

From the beginning Cui Lin has said that she wants the people to live in peace. You have seen what kind of people Li Ni's brothers and father are... They are incompetent and would cause catastrophe after another if they stayed in power. On top of that Li Ni's brothers are cunning and greedy. They would try to kill Li Ni even if he left the capital. The crown grandson would also be in danger because there's no way they would let him live if he was the crown prince. This is why Cui Lin used herself to try and force Li Ni's hand.

I love how passionate you are about WOL! 😂 It definitely deserves more hype around it. I think the main leads' chemistry and the way their relationship was written made the drama very enjoyable to watch. And the ending was perfect!

It says they fall in love in the synopsis... Looks good if there's crime/mystery + romance

I don't know... I have watched quite a few of his dramas. I think in WOL you can see his improvement very well.. As Li Ni he felt like a real person, and he showed many kinds of emotions and his humorous side as well. I hope to see him in many kinds of dramas in the future, as in costume dramas the ML is usually kinda the same kind kind of a character (heroic, brave, positive...). He has a few modern dramas coming in 2024, so let's hope we'll get to see his different sides in these.

Yeah... I agree! Xu Kai usually has some kind of chemistry with his leads, but with her... I just don't see it. I think the FL's lack of expression and stone face is the issue... I'm really struggling to watch it

THIS! I was begging for him to die from the various ailments he had 🤣 (But deep down I knew this is a Cdrama and he is here to stay until the end 🤣). After he got the jeishuo medicine his recovery is justified though

Okay! That's all good 😅 I just saw so many unfair comments about her in the Viki comments 😫 like she could do no right in some of their eyes. I just don't see her as taking advantage of him like some people do 😅 I watched the whole show quite happily once and just after reading comments I realized some of the criticism only after seeing comments afterwards. I guess different people see different plots in different light 😅

Should I give this a try? Many people say there are no cliches.... That sounds promising

I think the FL talked about the Cui army being cut in the time of peace with her father once. Maybe she didn't expect the whole army to disband and not just being cut down 50-70%...

I think the kiss scene is not her being cunning. She likes him and wants to kiss him. Obviously the bet wasn't a life or death kind of thing or the ML wouldn't have agreed to do it. I found that scene very sweet and an example of their push/pull relationship. If you have decided you hate the FL, it might not be worth it for you, because they'll have conflicts later on (and many people love to just blame everything on FL). But the the FL will stop trying to get advantages after a few episodes in the way she does in the beginning. For me the ending of the drama was worth all the hurdles on the way, but that might not be the case for everyone...

The leads donend up together. There's a bigger story behind them though out the story. I think there was a HE

I watched it a while back, but I think it was a pretty good drama. I think there was a happy ending. The story was suspenseful and there was nice action. The relationship is complicated, but will be sweet at the end...

I disagree with you. Obviously there's going to be conflicts as it's a drama. But the FL stopped using his love after they visited the capital together. She used the fake grandson to save Li Ni's life etc. But that wasn't to benefit her army. When Li No held her against her will, she was trying to escape him and was broken by grief and guilt. I feel like many people judge her with no reason
