It is a figurative title. Like they were putting the tax issue under the microscope
Obviously it's figurative, I just think given the timeframe, they could've used a better metaphor since I don't think microscopes existed during that period. Magnifying glass, abacus, whatever other choices
To my fellow Fu Sheng/Wen Jue shippers, how we feelin'? 😆
For me, even if the romance was one-sided on Wen Jue's part, it was still cute and wholesome. It's just interesting how Fu Sheng never knew that Wen Jue liked him, and I think that adds to the uniqueness of this drama. But I don't know why the scriptwriter wanted it to be that way 😅
Purchased express for episodes 29-30 today after waiting it out after ep 27 dropped yesterday and I’ve now finished an airing show for the first time! Leaving a review in a bit ☺️
My dad is watching this and he seems to like it as he's already on episode 27. I glance at the TV every now and then cause Ren Jialun looks great sitting on a throne in his big furry black coat 😂
I'm a sucker for the arranged marriage trope and I've been interested in a young emperor/empress pairing so I might watch this but the plot looks kinda thin?
There is a reason I can't even be mad about ep 2️⃣5️⃣
I can't even be mad at Sun Siming for killing everyone in Hearsay Capturing Pavilion. What I don't find believable is how Feng Qianli needed to put a list on his body lol like it's too dumb and serves no purpose to have a list in the first place, let alone conveniently on a person's body. It's like the scriptwriter just wanted to make sure there's gonna be an angsty massacre scene and this is the best way they came up with and called it a day.
In Youthful Glory, someone put a list of criminals on their body cause they needed to preserve evidence. This is like the opposite scenario. Exposing people's identities this way is just dumb and only for shock factor.
Anyways, 5 eps to go! Let's see if shit hits the fan and this loses all the good comedy it's built up.
I like the first few episodes. later i noticed the investigating in non ending. Each murder gets too long to solve…
They're collecting pieces of jade so there's a definite structure to the plot. Their progress is pretty steady. Breakwall has yet to accomplish anything
How is it that Ep 12 was excellently and brilliantly structured while Ep 22 is a hot mess 😅
Cause I was pretty hooked on Ep 12's Golden Bloom Banquet with the suspense and all. I think that was the peak so far. With the Tianyi Tribe / Hole Ghost mystery, however, you could just feel the repetitiveness of using hallucinogens to create illusions. Also thought of how could our leads figure out which baby was which when they were returning them 😆 I guess the Tianyi Tribe took notes on which baby was which??? So that when it was time to return them they'd be like 'oh yeah this one belongs to this couple' and so and so.
I thought Liu Yun Ting is the stupidest villain for believing in Si Ming's lies. Surprise, surprise, the new killer…
I don’t know whether to be relieved that Guo Si Shui seems as dumb as Liu Yun Ting (in which case she’s harmless), or frustrated precisely because she might be harmless (and ultimately useless to the story 😂)
EDIT: If worst comes to worst I want a showdown between Tuoba Ruo and Guo Si Shui 😆
Bro the people joking about kidney deficiency and not being able handle 2 girls 💀That doesn’t even make any…
I had some guesses but I had to Google it to make sure. In traditional Chinese medicine, kidney yang deficiency directly influences sexual activity and fertility. A deficient “yang” leads to infertility, impotence, and low sexual drive. Lol
BUT ALSO WHAT A RIDE 🤣
