That's what I love about this drama. They don't drag the plot nor cause unnecessary breakups!
The Chinese government's condition ie. no more dragging scenes and all series are confined to 40 episodes. So, scriptwriters and directors need to be supergood on a clear and concise and smooth dramatisation of a novel.
I find the side story makes the drama less entertaining. I don't mind side stories in the drama but I prefer more plots by the emperor since the actor is so damn good for being a tyrant and torturing his children.
This actor plays bad guys in the previous C-dramas.
Hua Zhi & Gu Yan Xi split up today! I think the emperor is moulding Gu Yan Xi to be his successor. He dislikes his own flesh and blood ie. his entire breed. Hahaha.
He only loves GYX and is willing to forgive him for deceiving him.
The Emperor has pissed off the Dowager Empress.
What exactly did the Emperor try to hide the secret in the palace that so far the story hasn't revealed? We know the Eldest Prince is insane and imprisoned by the Emperor.
We also know so far the emperor had loved a woman before but her entire family was executed by the emperor and she committed suicide. We also know the emperor also has 4th and 5th princes since we have only seen the 6th prince unless the formers have died young or etc.
Bai Yu and other supporting casts made this series worth watching although I am not a fan of C-thriller drama.
I barely missed an episode or skipped a part due to my curiosity about what the next storyline is. This is a good sign from me myself because I am impatient when it comes to drama.
Any likelihood that Gu Yanxi will overthrow the emperor and replace him with the 6th Prince?
The way he treated his sons, the emperor has no mercy at all. His first son is insane; 2nd son dead; 3rd son - no storyline associated with this one yet but there will be one soon; and 6th son scarred which ruled him out to be a possible candidate as an heir to throne unless ShaoYao's magic medical formula is able to make the scar on the poor boy's forehead disappear and restore him to the candidacy.
One word to describe this drama so far the best Chinese drama for me this year. Especially love a strong FL, and…
What does the final scene imply? Did Princess Yue imagine the scene? I think the boy could have been the son of Li Tong Guang and Princess Yang Ying.
The scene between Princess Yang Ying and the King of An in Episode 33 is the climax in the drama. She is a better diplomat and strategist compared to all officials in the Wu State.
Life is pretty miserable without good C-dramas. K-dramas can never beat C- costume dramas.
Unlike the previous C-dramas with 80 episodes.
I am not really hooked up on this drama but as I have nothing to do, it's a good comfort to watch the first four episodes.
I cannot wait to watch Episode 6, not Epi 5.
That's why he is so good. I actually prefer his scenes compared to GYX-HS scenes.

Unlike the romance between the couple in the drama, The Bond, this one looks so awkward

Even the King of An is weary of her.
