pity about the "love interest" my advice forget it and imagine instead Jian and Zhao sleep together as they agreed in episode 3 웃+웃=❤️

I loved the earlier episodes but the end （and last few episodes）though spectacular was filled with inconsistencies Two mainly stand out： 1 〜how does Lan suddenly become so eager to save the Empress Dowager regime given the whole story for most of the drama was his great obsession with exonerating his father from her false charges ? and note the exoneration given only one line throwaway mention in last episode？2 〜Zhang 's character is all about his moral uprightness and obsession with truth but we see in last episode his smart deduction supposedly "proving" Shulin was not Empress Dowager's true son is WRONG as we see in the final confrontation between her and Shulin？ in both cases this appears all false and hurriedly patched up to give ending where the substitute emperor ”good guy” can triumph and the people ”live happily under a benevolent ruler”、 but this is to negate the plot exposition for most of the drama。 So for me this is a case as with many dramas where the resolution is not as satisfying as the main body of the drama。 There are other unconvincing elements like in the final episode Lan suddenly conveniently has a dead wife and son sent away and coming back、 and how an obvious strong bond between Lan and Zhang is watered down so great care is taken they never touch or even hug in emotional moments。 I suspect the drama was hurriedly gutted and patched up in many points to satisfy a censor which would explain the plot holes and contradictions at the end why the drama was delayed so long and the odd run of 29 episodes ？still I will use my imagination on the characters at least💛

a spectacular but not entirely convincing end though I preferred the earlier episodes 〜I will miss the characters in this drama😭💛

with imagination you can read into it as in League of Nobleman

maybe

Violent desolate film with nothing really nothing to relieve the despair and hopelessness

certainly story is wandering but、 beautiful actors and costumes and weird comedy keep me watching and amused ・as I watched more in some ways gets better but、spoiled by trying too hard to force some so called ”normal romance” into a bl story does not really work at all 〜I just apply my ”reverse censorship” so 、💛💛

very good production costumes settings cosmetics attention to detail 、rather complicated crime plot and needs careful attention I think。Lan Jue is an unattractive character though Zhang Ping is an attractive character for me。 why is duration of this drama shown as 45 min here but actually only 35？

this vertical film makes me cross eyesed

素晴らしいぞ

unoriginal, low budget but refined and sensitive example of this trope

thank you〜I wondered so also but I hope darkness had not won I did not realise about scars however so this may be so💔

main character not my type but drama gets more amusing as it goes on HK slap stick different in a way from japanese I think

I just started to watch 〜quite ridiculous but good fun and attractive young men with sword and beautiful Chinese scenery and costumes、 male romance also quite clear and no female to be seen〜ーI like this more than season 2 I think💛💛

素晴らしいぞ〜end unexpected but well composed： a drama of 54 episodes can keep me watching daily also unexpected！💛💛

amazing it packs so much story and feeling in small frame very sensitive treatment but、 I am unclear at ending what happened to Min Ha？ as for bullies they will get their karma I think

yes I watched this drama he is good

I agree with other reviews this is phenomenal drama in every way

very sensitively acted 〜the final twist brought in by Mitsuru's father for me was unconvincing however and he is so cold

not watched enough to know yet
