LOL - CG guy probably had to sit on this one a bit not a CGI heavy drama. I interpreted horse as a ‘spiritual’ sending off of MJH and horse is not literally there like a real apparition. Yeah a bit random.

Netflix Australia too on Saturday and already on Viki. I watch on viki for the subtitles and Netflix for sharper picture quality and Youku as it airs….so three times.

Never can get my head around why c-ent is so obsessed with SE or OE - suckers for pain. Hoping for a HE, our main CP deserve it.

Some of us who are still really enjoying the drama have noted that the tone and the two lead characters lost their darkness too soon, just even maybe an episode or two longer with the darker vibe may have helped the transition. I also wanted to see a bit more seduction after the bath scene. But these issues haven’t been a deal breaker for me. I’m looking forward to the angst in the final arc of the story.

Hilarious 🤣 🤣🤣

For the Double I think it was partly to appease/please viewers…there have been several dramas that has had backlash due to the ending being SE or OE.

Totally agree about the Double. They tried to fix it with the epilogue but I haven’t watched that as I had already come to terms with the OE.

I love that ML was on the horse making that moment even more impactful and in your face for LM but it does look weird…maybe there are some shots in between in the actual scene but not in the trailer.

Maybe a bitter sweet? But bitter sweet always feels like a consolation prize.

😂🤣

MJH on high alert looking out for villagers giving ML the eye, he was itching to tell everyone they’re a married couple. LXY does comedy well, his comedic timing in In Blossom was brilliant.

Avenue X is not a reliable reviewer. Due to these types of reviews I have not bothered to subscribe. I have tried to watch several reviews but no, not a go-to for c-dramas.

CP, YQ and LM all need a trip to the village for some therapy.

The scenes in the village are so therapeutic, watching our CP happy and healing at a wellness retreat…Trailer for Ep 19 tho, ramping it up again. Can’t wait.

Any of us who has watched an historical c-drama or two guessed who was the culprit behind the Qingzhou fire within the first two episodes .Appreciate the show doesn’t beat around the bush, quite a brave move on show’s part as many thought ‘plot was over and now what..’ I admit I had some reservations about where story would go from there but seems to be plotting out just fine so far.

This is why show makes a clear distinction between who is the real psycho and who is not very early on. We just wanted to watch LXY be deliciously wicked for a bit longer.

CP always knew Lao San was the favoured son and resents it. You are right that he doesn’t know how to appreciate/understand kindness from his father and empress - all because of his insecurities. He lacks emotional maturity. For him it justifies his own actions.

Will go watch this scene again.

Me too, a few personality issues but Lou Mei doesn’t seem like a bad person.

Oh yes see what you mean. CP full on evil…YQ more disappointed in life but also being a bit of a disappointment. He isn’t a strong person, I mentioned somewhere else that I think he is corruptible.
