I did end up liking this more than I thought. I just really wish it hadn't had pulled the same cheap stunt The Double did in its second half of the final episode. If ya know, ya know. I will say this one was less egregious, but did cause me to drop my score some.

I'm 2 episodes in and I'm really not enjoying this one. I find the FL and the comedy cringy. Came here for tear-jerker, and got slap-stick. When does the tone shift to something more serious?

Slight disagreement here, at least up to the episode I am on(13), both leads act very childish and it can be frustrating. They straight up avoid talking to each other when they need to sometimes. It still is a good show though.

No, he sees her more as chess piece in the beginning. They don't end up together till almost the last episode.

No, I don't think at any point I could call them enemies. More like their goals cross paths which forms an alliance.

Wu Jin Yan's best performance, in my opinion anyway. I'm not exactly sure what I liked about this series, but I did end up liking it. Though I do wholeheartedly agree with those disappointed with the last 10 minutes of the last episode. It wasn't necessary and I took off a whole point for it. This IS worth watching, just expect to have whiplash at the very end.

I know this is entirely personal preference and isn't anything against anyone's abilities, but the reason I had to drop this show is the main leads are some of the most boring looking people I have ever seen in a drama.

Somehow it took me over a year to finish this. Was it worth it? Kinda. I didn't hate it, but goodness was it bloated in some places and yeah, the last 10 episodes were a mess. Overall I do think the series came to a conclusion that made sense. If you like happy endings, or a well paced/written plot this isn't the drama for you.

Oof, okay, thank you.

I'm about 20 episodes in. At what point does Feng Zhi Wei stop dressing like a dude? It is weirdly killing the show for me as I do not see how no body notices.

Honestly, I thought so too. She acts the same way in the Legend of Hao Lan, so idk if it is bad acting or bad direction.

You might wanna add the spoiler tag for this comment for those who still plan to watch it.

Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace is a sequel to this and also an excellent palace drama.

Yes

"fate" isn't a good enough answer for a piece of media to have various flaws and inconsistencies. At the end of the day it is a narrative and should flow as such. It is fine that people like it, I don't really care, but those who dislike it are just as valid.

I actually did finish it and pretty much hated it. There was almost no character development for anyone and the plot became very rinse and repeat. I too am baffled by how it is so praised, but to each their own.

Can anyone tell me what the ending theme song is called? I can find every other song, but this one.

Okay, thank you for the info. I'll give it another shot and see where it goes.

How far in is the Palace arc?

Look at the time, it is time to rewatch this beautiful series. Maybe this time I'll write a review.
