Lmao given he is the emperor and one of the main characters in the dramas...yeah you will definitely see him alot.

Lol he isn't handsome but i found his looks realistic...and he played his role of emperor so well like honestly you get past that after a few episodes. Its like really inconsequential unless you're just watching it for looks. I mean the second ML isnt bad looking so there's that. But you're not wrong...the fact that he favors her is definitely a plus...its what made him tolerable to me.

Yeah for plot progression the romance was necessary but it felt unnecessary because I was just like excited for the action, plotting and adventures.

I enjoyed the show so much though...but I will admit i'm mad i didnt wait until season 2 because the ending. I couldnt sleep for 2 nights because of how much I was thinking about it... lol

I definitely understand that her role played an important part in a lot of ways ofc i'm not disputing that guys. Lemme try to rephrase. I meant if the drama took out the romance and found some way to make the storyline work without her even being a factor (say for example she was not even a character to begin with) the story would have been fine either way. But given that she is there i understand her role was an important one to his arch especially like you mentioned with the emotional support after his friend died (you should mark that as spoiler btw) and him eventually agreeing to go to Northern Qi...

However, if she was never a character to begin with and her role in moving the plot forward was replaced in some way or the other..it would not have made much of a difference and the show would have still been super great hence why I said that her role in itself wasnt necessary because if we never met her or her character was never even shown to begin with...it wouldnt have made that great a difference to overall story because I was there for the action and the plotting. The romance scenes with them were very meh to me.

I would not be very surprised if Li Qin does not reprise her role. I love the actress I have watched a lot of her work and she did played Wan'er quite well so if she indeed does not reprise the role she will be missed.

she is frustrated...she is tired...she is fed up...she is me! I cannot do it anymore...Lord knows I tried to finish this but damnnnnnnn this show is so draggy...every god-forsaken plot is dragged out...I don't think I've ever skipped so much in a show before. Not to mention how utterly USELESS the male lead is...yes I know he gets strong "eventually" but yooo if I have to see him be saved one more time I might reach my hand through this laptop and just kill him myself. Maybe I'll revisit it later and force myself to watch it out but 24 episodes later and all I feel is hate...towards myself, for even starting this drama, to begin with....and honestly if I knew I wasn't going to be dragged around in another useless plot I might have kept watching it. However, I love my eyes and I love my brain and I cannot do this to them anymore.

I coincidentally went into Zanilla's profile to find an old drama I plan on watching (cant remember the name but she's the FL) and saw the news of their divorce...TODAY...like the legit announced it TODAY!...I checked the date twice to make sure I wasn't seeing things...Oh man I loved them together so much but I still wish them both nothing but the best and happiness even if its not with each other *tears*.

Somebody said that after episode 40 they finally figured out who the FL is...Prince Jing...I've been laughing since cause no lies were told.

I really began to dislike Jing's character somewhere in the middle...the unrelenting stubbornness ad the 'action first...questions later' made it super hard for me to like him...like dude just calm down and think....overall it was still great though...the acting was A1!

This is one drama I will say the romance was unnecessary and this is coming from a girl who lives for romance. I love Li Qin as an actress but her role as Wan'er was so unnecessary. I could have lived without the romance...It would have still been great either way! ...

I will greatly miss all the characters in this show...even the evil ones were outstanding...This drama deserves the hype!

brooo...I want to fight...its 2021...what's upppp!!!!! They wrong as hell to us cause int no way that's the ending and its 2021 and no season 2. Lets just fight!

I genuinely hate dramas where the audience can see who the evil characters are and all their plots while the main leads are completely loss in the sauce..its especially frustrating when they are close with these individuals and interact with them regularly not knowing that this person is the reason their life is going to shit...

agreed 1000% and the fact that he could not see...AT ALL why he was wrong CONSISTENTLY irked me to no end.

If its one thing I hate its dramas that start in the present and then go back to the past...cause WHY!...is the entirety of the drama set in the past? Can someone please spoil this for me?

Re watching and once more realizing how absolutely useless the ML in this drama was. What was his point other than being a romantic love interest. He literally added zero substance to her life and his help was like no help at all.

lol well now I know for next time because that ending was truly disappointing.

It really had...promise...but somewhere along the road, it fell apart. It ended up being really draggy and all the characters annoyed me either with stupidity or secret-keeping. Lin Xiang An was honestly the dumbest of them all. Out of everyone the patheticness of his character irritated me to no end.

This is so upsetting because the drama really had the potential to be a great one but they dragged everything so so much.

Loved it..very short & sweet and to the point...no unnecessary love triangles or drama.

yes

If I ever meet the music producer/music director...whoeverrrr chose the music for this show...ITS ON SIGHT!!! How could it be so bad...like how was every song or background music inappropriate for the scene. This got me so heated...a lot of the moments were ruined by the awful awful music.

Somebody said "this dude almost destroyed the entire world and got a new wig as punishment" and I've been laughing since. Deadass though...If loud and wrong was a personnn...if righteous indignation but you were the cause of everything was a personnn...WOW. Props to my guy though..acting was on point cause every time he opened his mouth I wanted to throw hands.

Anywaysss...This drama was really great. The role reversal was so good in the sense that the guy was the one willing to constantly go above and beyond which is rare in this genre. But if I never see my guy spit blood again...it would be too soon..lmaooo man I felt like it was honestly every episode.

I have to mention Crystal's acting as Xuan Ji without her senses was superb.....Her cluelessness was absolutely convincing.

lol yes...very obviously fake kisses

I started this drama and wow...i'm in shock. Its really different and unexpected from what I expected. (I mean this in a good way ofc) How you would expect the drama to go it doesn't which is refreshing but yet frustrating. I haven't finished it yet but I wanted to leave this comment this. And for those wondering the episodes are being uploaded with subtitles on youtube by Poof's Subs. But he/she isn't finished yet but hopefully they continue and finish it.
