Probably unpopular opinion, but I'm I the only one that finds Lin Shi Xian annoying? Like dude move on she's married,…
At first, I did find him a bit annoying because how he constantly looked for her. At some point, he did had an idea that he was using Amber to get to her too. To be honest, in the recent episode, he definitely said before knowing she was a Marquis' wife, he did admired her, which totally make sense and normal, but afterward, he just sincerely wants to be friend. Maybe, there's still affection but I think he knows his limit.
I am the translator of this novel and I can tell you that the drama isn't heavily based on the novel, so you're…
I don't mind sharing link but it's just that I am quite slow in it because I'm still finishing up Under The Power novel and I know some people want to read ahead of time.
Can someone tell me where I can read the novel? Thanks!
I am the translator of this novel and I can tell you that the drama isn't heavily based on the novel, so you're not missing a lot. If you want, you can go ahead and finish the drama first.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! These wholesale comments have been troubling me as well.
I agree! He even said so himself “what’s the point of having so many wives” we can see that he prob didn’t even agree to marrying any of them out of love.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! These wholesale comments have been troubling me as well.
Yup, that’s why although this is like a harem drama but it doesn’t make him unfaithful. Let’s just assume that he only consummate once and that’s it, i’ve fulfilled my duty as a husband. That could be why he have minimal children.
i wish MDL has an option to pin comments on top. this comment makes a good ‘caution’ note to new viewers.
Thank you so much! I want people to give it a chance before judging it too mucb and some comments are misleading making it sounds like this drama is bad.
Just a rant.I hope people would stop promoting illegal sites because production companies are losing money. And…
I definitely agree! WeTv and iQiyi literally provide free subs on website and apps. If you can't wait (as a non-vip) then pay $5.99 (CAD) for 1 month subscription, this is no difference from Netflix. On top of that, these apps calculate views, so if you're watching it on illegal sites, your views toward your favourite drama doesn't even count.
not saying you can't use illegal site, but please stop promoting them for the sake of our future. Please remember, some dramas are subbed by subbers who works for free and if you use illegal site (that take their subs) it just discourage a lot of subbers.
As someone who has watched a lot of dramas, I want to voice my opinion a little bit. I think some of us have watched too many web dramas or romantic-comedy that we missed the actual history. It is perfectly normal back in that period for men to have several wives, now, you may say, you don't like it, that's fine but I think if you already considered the drama to be out of your comfort, then you should only comment on what you've watched rather judging it as a whole because your comment could be very misleading to new potential viewers.
I am not justifying his character but he is a man of the historical period, his duty is to get married and have a lot of children, who, someday will become a potential leader of the household. In several dramas like My Fair Princess, Yanxi Palace, men are forced to get married to women they don't know, on top of that, some of them can't even fight back because it's the Emperor's orders.
Here is my thought on Xu Lingyi. He may be portrayed as a man with many wives and kids. We can easily assume they were brought up by someone else and he was forced to marry them, even with Concubine Qiao, he didn't even want to marry her. He only consummates to his marriage because it's his responsibility, as the head of the family. On top of that, as concubines, you don't get to have a proper wedding, so a child is properly the only thing he can do for them. If you guys watch further, you would know none of those concubines even have a chance to interacted with him after their marriage and it was ShiYi who has most of the attention as of right now. Xu Lingyi is a smart person, he knows about his concubines' plans, he doesn't let anyone trick him but the only person he has to obey is his mother, no matter how unreasonable she is.
If you don't like what I said, I'll accept it but these are my personal thoughts when I keep encountering people saying "why does he have to have kids", "ew, he have concubines, drop."
I read the book prior to watching this and definitely recommend you guys reading the book. The investigation and storyline in the book is extremely great, the cases in the book were describe to the point i was hook and even got scared. Definitely prefer the book over the drama, in my opinion.
