I love the change they made for Gulan's character! i know that these days cdrama keeps pursuing female empowerment through characters doing 'we can beat men' schtick but somehow it felt very lipstick with how they still let evil patriarchal men go with slap on the wrist.
Making Gu Lan and her concubine mother less evil and more humane and in turn Jinzhao being supportive when Gulan was bullied is much more empowering!

ah.. thanks!

so xuanqing was adopted under a dead brother's name (?)

is it really that good or just the hype? I felt like I've seen so many idols and k-content youtubers talking about it but they also talked good about F1 the movie so I'm kinda on the fence with their opinion

the subtitle said it was chen xuanqing's father but at ep 9 chen yanyun brought him to his dad's tomb and said he was executed

can someone explain to me who did chen yanyun's brother kill?

apparently the director of this drama also directed A Dream within A Dream. Now I get why the writing and pacing are so compact and good!

i think it's because he is married so he took that 'no kissing' principle.

i don't see it as a problem though. after watching soooooo many dramas I realized even if the leads are touchy feely but they can't act, then the chemistry is non-existent.

to me the drama is more interesting around ep 17 when the conflict was FL's dilemma on getting married or not

i've just got into ep 15 and the only sign he could turn evil is drama god's fate for second male lead characters like him lol
hoping he would break the stereotype

the costume change is a reason for us to see both leads being beautiful and rocking whatever they wear lol

is he a tragic second male lead? or is he actually evil?

can anyone spoil me about yan ke?

cmiiw she is the he suye's junior doctor who has a crush on him (?)

anyone watching Beyond The Bar? how is this drama compared to that? case / story wise

thank you so much <3

idk I've watched several works of this drama's writer and I always got lost somewhere at the complicated intrigues part

yes! this do clears everything! thank you so much for taking time writing this!

thank you so much for this! i found the flashbacks and explanation scenes too disjointed I didn't figure all the connections until I read yours!

it's just a bit bitter, that after all, the true villain was the emperor who already dead all the time.

but why do Prince Changxin are enemies with everyone at the early episodes?

I thought they already completely cancelled the rule. Thanks for the info!
