I actually thought Liu Xiu Yi as Royal Uncle who is brother of the late emperor would be the one to replace the fake emperor in the end. Nope he does not show up.

Really! lesser of two evils. What a pitiful excuse to justify this grey ending. Everyone seem contented in the end to play the charade that justice was done. They could have easily made an ending were the conspirators both past and present would get their due but no. What we got was everything covered up with lies and the real truth just put aside.

So the ending was the empress crimes were not exposed. The truth of the conspiracy was covered up. The people who died because of the conspiracy would never get true and honest justice. And an impostor is on the throne. There is not a single honorable and honest person left in this drama in the end.

What a lousy ending! Did they have to make it look like they where trying to excuse the crimes of the evil b*tch. After everything that happened that was the ending they covered everything with lies. WTH was that!

Wang Yan and Lan Jue friendship and chemistry is the best and most natural in this drama. Lan Jue towards Zhang Ping feels more like noblesse oblige than a sincere connection. Even the emperor is more informal to Zhang Ping than Lan Jue.

Great to see Du Chun back in historical.

This is so presumptuous, misinform, and just plain personal opinion.

I had the same thought a few weeks ago when I was watching Blood of Youth and I went here planning to post a comment wanting Li Hong Yi and Cheng Yi in a drama. Anyway I decided against it because I thought it was inappropriate to demand when Li Hong Yi is not relevant to this drama. They would be the most believable brother pairing in C-drama. Thanks for bringing this up.

So many irrelevant recommendations. I don't see the connection of these other dramas save for most of them implying some sort of relationship with the male leads. Some really lazy and poorly thought comparisons. If there was a recent drama I could think similar to this it would be Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty.

Episodes don't seem to have a consistent running time. I wonder if there were scenes that ended up in the editing floor or these days , in the recycle bin.

I don't like Song Wei Long's character. He reminds me so much of that gossipy neighbor that wants to know and divulge every secret in town. Too nosy, too clever for his own good and too naive for my liking. Great detective skills but somehow unable to read the overall picture.

Episode 35 has to be the most ridiculous ambush scene ever. Did a single Zhaoding bureau officer even die? Never mind they made Yu Zun just an accessory and spectator of the fight scene.

I like their pairing in My Dear Guardian.

I love Republican dramas but absolutely not outward Communist propaganda. I can stand subtle messaging like Fall In Love or Arsenal Military Academy but not in your face like this is going to be. Sorry not even Wang Yibo and Li Qin will make me watch this.

How useless is this king? Oh wait this is Korean drama. All they do is sass backing their enemies in the royal court.

I don't see the relevance of the second paragraph or your blatant misrepresentation that somehow Chinese emperors were benevolent and wise because they had eunuchs behind them WTH. The fact is the worst periods of imperial China was when the eunuchs were in power.

Sure but they should have picked someone that could actually act. I'm glad the show didn't suffer in the end because of her campy style and bratty acting.

You spamming this thread with the same comment every other post is an offense and it should be called out. Your ranting is not welcome.

Oh BTW do put all your Qianluo bootlicking and admiration of her acting on one comment. Stop hijacking this thread with your comments.

This line is getting old, insulting to intelligence and, a pathetic attempt at giving a free pass to this otherwise D level acting. The actress and the character is a blot on this otherwise excellent production.
