ep 27 - No Duke today!

Bcos we know such men dont exist in real life. Slaves to love I mean. But we see women who are. So Asian dramas are filled with such devoted male characters. We dont need to be told that a woman is utterly smitten by a man we already know that. The fantasy is of the perfect man who can love like that.

same! I have been commenting on the photos!

she fell for him first here right? she made the first move in the drunk rain scene.

my days have been now reduced to waiting for the new eps and then waiting for the previews!

He is carrying her for real.

Maid Tong's possible end




ep 28 - From the outfit FL is wearing and the bloody lip make up, I guess Tong is going to come in between the Diviner's sword and FXX.

but she preferred the same at the palace banquet after the imperial exams, didnt she?

I guess no new previews for us today right? We got the eps 27 one yesterday itself.

❤️❤️❤️ But it isnt an HD version.

Because we want to see candles. Obviously! Duh!!!!🙄

Any one has the HD pic of this scene? Pls add to the photo gallery.

The Chinese costume drama aesthetics never fail!

I wont hold it much against the director... the cons of such a plot. But the success of this series might inspire other writers to see the otp romances in new light.

Is there a photo of the last scene of ep 26? They were picture perfect!

Adding those to my watchlist! 👍

Them reviewing and rating all the famous plays, tea houses, and restaurants in and around the capital!🤣🤣

Absolutely! Which is why the heroines of The story of Ming Lan, Love like the Galaxy, A dream of splendor hold a special place in my heart.

A word of praise for the director for always downplaying (but not reducing) the romance!!! The Duke handing her an emergency whistle fits so well with his calm and shrewd personality. A typical drama hero would be expected to put on a display of machismo! But the Duke is made different.

ZYB is the dumbest scholar I have seen so far!! What are they teaching in the capital even SYR is evil!
