jesus hell, why that damn white dog or cat ??
i don't want to laugh, but hell, I am OLD, that damn cat, and our ML sitting there like a spoiled pasha, reminds me of the villains from the old James bond movies, those ugly villains with that damn white cat!! I HATE THAT! grrrr whose fucking idea what that white "pet"for villains trope???

thank god, FL is badass enough, or that cat trope would kill me off the series immediately.

  I understood this part differently, it's because the villain's part (is a pretense), and the little animal in his part is the sense of sensitivity. He is an ambiguous character, sensitivity and apparent insensitivity. He hides his heart, but in small acts he shows who he really is.

  
  

Very entertaining so far, though moving a bit fast with the so many reveals just 3 Eps in ?as others have mentioned, i hope this series has enough powder left dry to power this through the remaining 32 eps.. (take 10 years of scheming and suffering just to finish it all off in less than a quarter of the way into the drama? … come on!)
That said, it’s wonderful whenever the two leads are involved - they bring so much emotion, tension and suspense to the game, even when not directly facing each other - the last minutes of Ep3 where he stood apart in shadow, watching and listening to her and that final quiet chilling dismissal of his aide’s protest was just brutal yet very effective.
Cinematography-wise it’s lovely, though i wish there was more use of shadow to convey mood and tension rather than so much use of bright light and close-ups (i found the cinematography in 花间令 more nuanced esp in the small spaces) .. however that confrontation in Ep 2 with the rain softly falling was very well done (the despair, grief and rage was well wrung out)

All that said, I’m invested, because Definitely, the two leads are the best thing about this drama, apart and individually, they’re terrific; but what they can do on-screen together - is almost sublime :)

I'll continue watching but as of now I'm very confused by the ML's "master plan" in regards to the female lead. I'm not impressed by the female lead either

  There is the logic of the male character's mind. And we can also say: Eastern philosophy.
  She is a piece in his game of pretense, the chess game he created (putting the loss of his life in it) and to prove and punish the true culprits. He believes in rebirth and in paying his debts, (the dead soldiers), the ghosts, he himself considers himself a ghost, because he is so connected to those who died, who deserved the honor and were betrayed.
  He knows of Mei Lin's desire for revenge, so he will be allowing her to take revenge on the culprits. When he says: She is the only one who would die with me. So, he may want to go to this point.
  (But both are people who will fight for each other's survival). I think, from the book, trailers and the episodes I have already watched.

I see a lot of people saying they don't like the fact that "everything" (he's not a mass murder, he's the master, etc) is revealed in the first 3 episodes because there's no mystery anymore. I think there's A LOT of mystery left. Here's why:

All the info they just revealed are necessary to be revealed at this time, in order to tell the REAL/MAIN story: The investigation into the past and the dynamics (love, hate) relationship between the FL & ML now that they will be working "together". Don't forget, she's still his pawn without her knowing. There's SO MUCH to explore with their relationship. Not only that, there's much more to explore with the brothers relationship, ML relationship to his dad, and the kingdom. (Everyone sees him as a mass murderer). Remember these fractured relationships are what made the ML the type of person he is today (anti-hero).

So, it's right that the story got the trival matters and misunderstanding out of the way instead of dragging it, so it doesn't clutter the drama and bug the story down. I actually like that they are not following the usual formula of wasting time on misunderstandings.

But I understand where you guys are coming from. Most of us aren't used to this cause we are so used to long drawn out cdramas

ep 5 got me very annoyed. I was promised a smart and badass FL, why is she being stupid? Why is she having to get saved over and over by the ML? I hope she gets better or I may drop this out of sheer annoyance.

  No one is invulnerable. I think that's coherent. I hate when someone seems totally invincible without any vulnerability, not needing anyone's help. I find that totally unrealistic. (Like in the book, a small woman like that carries a man the whole book). The drama improved everything in this book. They both have strength and vulnerability (I love that). They need each other. They will save each other (all the time), the trailers show that. I loved him saving her, I loved that vulnerability. I loved it. (But I respect your comment).
  Different comments, we always learn from different points of view.

• PS: And taking into account that she is afraid of fire and has a trauma, is sick, etc. Totally coherent. And she falls into his arms (it's a beautiful cliché that we romantics love in the style of Chinese fantasy love dramas).
