Vier is being such a sweetheart for now that I will have a real hard time forgiving Kelvin for whatever he's gonna do (+ the multiple kidnappings). I'm good with fucked up relationship only when the toxicity goes both sides 😭
Only thing I can say about the ending is that at least it's better than Stay With Me's fuckass finale 😭
Definitely left me wanting a lot more cause I feel like we're barely half into the whole story? Sob. Loved the characters tho, the two leads where great, but I admit I had a lot of fun watching Gao Tian Yang lmfao that boy was hilarious.
More on plot, I was so sure the sostitute teachers were already in a relationship until like episode 7?? Bro I was flabbergasted when I understood that was indeed NOT the case (even if they're clearly in love with each other) and then they proceeded to leave us hanging on their story too 💀
Plus the heartbreaking details of how Sheng Wang started to call Jiang Tian as "Ge" instead of saying his name only after realising his own feelings as a way to draw a boundary and remind himself that's a line he cannot cross... Devastating.
Never forgot to connect your headphones before starting ANY episode of this drama damn 😭
Overall a very unique serie, it's real but with that fever-dream like setting that Taiwanese are so good at. I especially liked the actor who played Yueh, his character just won me over.
Personally, I believe he's been kidnapped 3 times, well based from the conversations and timelines 😭
I mean people who read the novel said Kelvin let his brother having his way with Vier (he apparently paid someone to r*pe Vier??) to get financial support and i REALLY REALLY hope they changed this in the drama bc otherwise everyone need to die. But yeah he got kidnapped three times and we just watched two episodes 😭 😭

First kidnapping when Kelvin probably sold him to his brother or something (where Vier got the scar), second kidnapping after Kelvin took Vier while he was with Nana and the third was after Vier conversation with his ex-lover, right? Should be? God Vier really can't catch a break 😭
You know what I'm willing to watch this even only to stare at Pooh with that long wolf cut hairstyle for 12 episodes straight cause holy shit he looks GOOD.
Yeah it was kind of miscast bc he seemed so easily led by the evil plotting ministers and opportunistic merchants,…
I honestly supposed to be the case, I just didn't imagine how young he actually was 😭 It make sense to have a more teenager actor to play his role since we witness him go from 13 to 18 years old, but still, damn. He was young.
China has a history of Emperors ascending to thrones at age 1,2,3 too 😭 All of these were basically regencies…
I guess I just feel sad for him since he was basically a toy in the hands of powerful minister and then died just at 18... It was a really hard time to grow up and be alive.
I went to research a little this time period since I know very little about it and damn Prince HongZou ascended to the throne at like 13 years old?? He was a child 😭
Also, very random, but the osts?? Chef kiss fr omg the opening is so beautiful and the ending is sang by Zhou Shen (I recognised him right away lol his voice is divine), I was immediately left mesmerised. Really great choices in the music department 🙏🏻
You really can't get distracted while watching this damn so many different characters, all with their respective backgrounds and intentions! If you're not familiar with Chinese names and court order, it becomes a bit difficult to follow, but it sure seems to placing foundation for a great political drama.
