You are welcome. I was having a horrible day, but your appreciation cheered me up a bit. 😊

The excel spreadsheet... And intellectual property rights...? That scene had me cackling! 🤣

Just type this drama's name in Mandarin, you can copy paste it from the top end of the page and type iqiyi next to it. After doing this, you would get results that you'd have to figure out on your own. The previews would not have subtitles but you'd be able to figure out the gist.

Ironically, the script which is supposed to be a mishmash of classic tropes has been pretty unpredictable till now despite sticking to the familiar ways in which these tropes usually play out in other CDramas. 😅

Diabolic! 🤣

Exactly. Her behaviour should be anachronistic given she's a modern woman and it was.

To be honest, she would have lost my respect if she had become all googly eyed immediately after discovering his identity. She is allowed to retain her intellectual faculties, LOL, and still be in love with him. 😏

I found it odd that someone as oblivious as Nan Rui was able to find out that Shangguan He was a supposedly executed convict.

Also, due to the machinations inbuilt into the script itself prevent her to let her guard down. She realises that no matter what Nan Heng's actual motivations are (even if they are noble), the iconic scenes would happen no matter what and she's trying her damnest to prevent the tragedies that are basically predestined.

Unfortunately, I cannot remember the episode number. If I remember correctly, this happened around the time the 18th prince messed up.
Edit: I checked. Episode 11, around 9.37 onwards.

In one of the earlier episodes, Fugui mentions both of them starting off as pages in the palace and choosing different masters.

I don't think you'd enjoy it because the humour in the rest of the episodes is in the same vein. If you are into serious dramas, you may enjoy the recently concluded mini, Yi Meng Ru Chu.

That TTEOTM parody was gold! 🤣

TL,DR: I agree! 😅

This!!! I used to think I am in the minority. In all my years of watching dramas from different parts of the world where English is not the first language, there has been only one instance where I have genuinely fallen in love with the English OSTs. In most, the grammar and syntax are horrendous and the lyrics too simplistic. I am not saying that everyone ought to be speaking the Queen's English. Heck, even I cannot claim absolute proficiency, nor can native speakers. Also, this is true for all languages. It's just that when songs are crafted in one's native tongue, or in a language over which one has amazing command, there's a lot of room to play with the lyrics, add nuances or make the songs beautiful pieces of poetry.

I agree with https://kisskh.at/profile/vickimion1. The idea of English songs in a CDrama, which is also costume drama is intentional to add to the hilarity. Perhaps, a nod to the ridiculous English language songs shoehorned in other (usually modern) CDramas? Or perhaps, I am reading too much into it. The overall soundtrack has been very carefully crafted/selected. It gives the viewer a sense of whimsy and chaos making the scenes even funnier.

When I first started this drama, I kept thinking how well of a job they have done with regards to music.

This drama has me wheezing due to laughter!

Your comment cracked me up! 😂

Your observation about reaching the third episode is spot on! 😂

Yep. I can't begin to tell ya. 😂
