The ending hurts. But the performance by LXY and WJY made it beautiful.

We ask did the story have to end this way? Maybe not and we wish not. But LXY made it a beautiful ending. His acting alone is worth 9.

Yes it is out now.

So pretty.

With you on these points. As we said in your discussion post we all would've liked a little bit more sexual tension at the start but the drama was always going to go down this route of them being decent people and falling in love. It's a shame some viewers are so hung up on the trailer.

The village scenes are important to their character development as well as their relationship. They both have to emotionally heal and learn to love. Perhaps there is a disconnect for some viewers because drama didn’t stay long enough fleshing out the darkness in their characters in the early episodes to help viewers appreciate the way they are changing and letting love and happiness into their lives. Also, they need to fall deeply in love. It does feel like a genre switch into rom com territory but I enjoyed these scenes.

Our boy MJH deserves all the love.

They have the right actor for the job for KMLM and yet…the writers should be tortured and humiliated along with the CP for screwing over our man MJH. But I need to see it to the end, messy but still fun. LXY still looking good and acting his ass off. Yep, hoping his next outing with Meng Zi ticks all the right boxes.

What is a fair rating?

OMG FR 😂😂

The poison wine thing happens a lot in palace/political c-dramas. Since they did that here let it be Mei Lin to deliver the wine so that she is the last person CP sees. That at least would bring some satisfaction.

If I was going to rage quit KMLM because of some of the flaws that have been pointed out and noted I’d quit 90% of c-drama shows I have watched. Most are littered with flaws but it’s just a question of what particular gripes become the deal breaker and that is personal. KMLM seems to have attracted much expectations due trailer, synopsis, novel, whatever, and with that attracts a lot of flak. Sure it has some glaring flaws but there are still many good things about it. Like you I’m sticking with it.

That send off of the Weibei ‘ghost’ army was touching. It reminded me of the LOTR ‘ghost army’ scene, except these are MJH’s own men which makes it heartbreaking. It feels like injustice that CP got to spend the final moments of his life with the woman he loves. He did not deserve this bit of pathos. LM at this point strikes me as someone who has mental illness. She reminds me of those women who become fixated/obsessed with serial murderers on death row and send them love letters, gifts. 😞

LM being inside man - though cliche - probably would’ve made more sense. Confused how her love for CP could run so deep.

Burning alive might have been appropriate.

Looks at LM. I’ll inhale whatever she’s inhaling.

Smoking a bit of weed before watching ep 23 might be beneficial.

Some moments just need to be milked.

Oh ok, that does shed light on the character.

Because YQ is somewhat unassuming - and I can see why they casted an actor like BWJ - and still unhealthily obsessed I cannot tell if he is going to go full on evil mode or have a more conflicted/emotional delivery when he has to go up against MJH (and Meil Lin).
