All I can say is wow. Watching Epi 30 and the female lawyer, no matter how many times he's told her that he doesn't love her, doesn't like her, she's still remembers when they were 6 years old and he said he wanted to marry her, 6, not 16, not 26, but 6. Anyone with a brain gets that after all he went through, being basically an orphan for 6 years from 6 to 12, and becoming an adult, he is going to change, but she is still living in her dream world and unfortunately, pulling his mother who has her own mental issues into that dream world with her...the poor guy can't win because he also has a secret that just he and his grandfather know. I've read that this is a slow burn, but damn, they are dragging it out so long. And now lets talk about the 2ML...that guy although cute and charming has stalker written all over him and he's been able to drag her whole family into it. FL already told ML that she would never be interested in the 2ML because he's to young, maybe ML needed to tell him that, although I doubt 2ML would listen to that.

still have 11 epi to go and I need to know if there is some kind of retribution for the ex girlfriend.

I'm watching this two years after you and I have to agree. The woman is 30 and knows it, just because she came back at the age of 20 is no call for her silliness, so yes, second hand embarrassment a plenty.

Male Lead - played Ye Jia Cheng / 2ML Yang Shu - played Yi Pei

for me it's hard to pigeon hole this. Melodrama, romance I guess. There ends up being 3 couples, none of them really communicate with each other, well maybe what I call the 3rd couple do more than any of the others. She's the old girlfriend of the ML, but now an old neighborhood boy is after her. It's really the most emotionless drama I've ever watched.

I'm at epi 15 and wondered if either one of them smiled or laughed, it seems impossible to go thru 24 epi without emotion, but they're pulling it off. And the FL, is this the way she talks or just for this drama, the mumble drives me nuts, I really don't know how I got thru 15 epi other than that I'm stubborn and won't give up. Does that make me nuts or a masochist.

I had to ff thru to epi 20, I just couldn't deal with wondering what what going to happen. At this point it looks like you can ff thru and still get it all.

I guess I'm going to have to go back and check because I'm at epi 11 and so far, Empress Sunny is clueless. I mean Secretary Min jumped him behind a screen while the Emperor and the Empress were having a couples massage and Sunny continued to be clueless.

I'm at epi 10 and so far, Empress Sonny has not caught on that he's cheating. I mean he has sex or possible sex behind a screen when they are doing a couples massage and she doesn't have a clue that the Secretary Min is the one on top of her husband, the Emperor.

thank you for the laugh.

started this a while ago, gave up after a few epi but decided to give it another shot because I really do love Jang Na Ra and Choi Jin Hyuk and also because of the review Sam-I-Am gave it. Sam-I-Am made me laugh and especially his references to the show being on crack. He also was right on the mark when he said although the Emperor was a murderer, you do get to points where you say, well maybe he's not so bad after all. Sunny, the new Emperess is completely clueless, at least during the first 10 epi, which is where I'm at right now. Love the Dowager Empress...that lady has spunk. As far as his assessment about Choi Jin Hyuk's character being as dry as toast, I think, he missed the point that this is exactly who the character is supposed to be. 56 epi is going to make for a long show. I just hope someone has Karma visit them soon. EDIT: I'm at epi 46 and am I weird for feeling sorry for the Emperor? He's an evil man, there is no doubt about that, he's killed or had killed numerous people, he's a weak man, letting his mother control his life. But when I watch him in the scenes with Emperess Sonny, I think that he's a man who would have done well with a good woman, not one who is only concerned with the power they could get through him. I really don't know how much more of this show I can watch, each epi I'm begging for the Dowager Empress to have a big pot dropped on her head, Princess Ah Ri mother to be pushed in the pond and held under.

yd1010 has accused each post of being a bot, but yd1010 has repeated the same thing over and over...wondering exactly who is the bot.

for someone who says he/she (yd1010) is not going to write any more comments, he/she sure does seem to comment a lot and is very impressed with what they have to say. I've just passed by them since they really make very little sense and seem to be so impressed with themselves that nobody else could have an opinion by yd1010.

I stepped away in epi 5 because I couldn't stand her and he was like a wet mop. Came back and I have to wonder about my own sanity to get to epi 19. The FL is really the most obnoxious female lead I've seen in any drama. I supposed they tried to make her seem strong, all I see is an obnoxious woman who only wants things her way. Even to epi 19, she's still that way. 7 more to watch and all I can say is I'm really rooting for the 2ML & FL. The first two are a waste as far as I'm concerned.

that is making me crazy and wondering about my own self, why have I continued to watch this? You pegged it perfectly when you said he's like a puppy. I don't know any man who would put himself through what he has with her. They would have said "enough" and walked away.

On epi 19 and can't believe I've actually watched it this far. The FL is the most irritating woman. I suppose they thought they were writing her as a strong woman, all I see is a selfish witch who wants things her way. The ML is so weak it's unbelievable. He lets her walk all over him and he still comes scurrying back to let her do it some more. First place, she gets so angry when the childhood friend (who is equally as obnoxious in her own way, that baby voice she uses sets my teeth on edge), while she continues to let her ex hang around and the ML is supposed to be perfectly fine with that. If the ML had any balls, he would have walked away early on, but then the show would have been over in the 2nd epi. The 2ML & 2FL are the two that I continue watching for. They are cute and funny and I'm rooting for them. The 2FL gave the FL some good advice about the ex hanging around, but does she listen, nope, that would make to much sense. She talks about drawing clear boundaries with her ex, but instead of the writers writing a scene where she tells him flat out that she doesn't want to owe him favors or be with him, she continues to let her mother try to bring them together and lets him continue to come around. The writers did a terrible job IMO. At this point I have 7 more epi to watch and won't give up, hoping that in those 7 things turn around and she's not such a witch as the end comes. As for the rest of the crew, they are pretty funny, don't know if I would expect any of them, except one of the women, to actually rescue me, but they are entertaining. Then of course we have the mother, equally as obnoxious. She's determined her daughter is going to get married, it really doesn't matter who it is, but it has to be NOW, and of course she has to approve because it's only important that she's satisfied with the man.

Thanks, I wasn't sure when the last one would come out, so that helps. Like you, I come through these posts looking for them.

Thanks. I'm big on spoilers so even if you told me, I would be happy. I decided to stop watching for a couple weeks so that I can watch it in two days. I'm so thankful to be retired, LOL.

I hate watching episodic tv, I want to binge them all at once. Just realized this was one of those and there is only 10 epi posted on Viki so far. I'm on epi 5 and could finish off to 10 by the end of today. I'm going to have to wait until they are all posted to finally finish this off. So disappointing.

on epi 5 and wondering why grandfather wants the wife sent away.
