Taking notes for myself: a little kid I don’t know asks me to walk him/her “down the street”, we ain’t going nowhere! Are you lost? Let’s stand here while we wait for the police that I will call.

Crazy people on the loose among us.

👆👏💯💯

That’s not what I’m referring to. Yes, it was in private but I was talking about us viewers. I rarely see that much in historical dramas (the ones I’ve watched) regardless where they display the affection.

I agree. It felt out of place for a historical drama, especially one involving upper classes.

True, there’s the attractiveness as you said… but then there are dramas where the actors are good looking like the recent one “Princess Gambit” but the majority found the drama disappointing.

Niiice!

Oooh thank you for the recommendation! I was actually looking for something new to read 😃.

Yes, in the novel the emperor is an impostor

Yes, he’s the real emperor twin who was hidden outside of the palace. That’s why he can emotionally blackmail the queen mother with the “am I not your son?”

I think it’s because the little prince knows that the emperor is an impostor.

Ooooh premium humiliation! Yes, please 😌!

For real! None of that “forgiveness of the enemy” nonsense for her. We need to see her go through it.

My pleasure 😃

Idk how they will make the ending in the drama. I’m assuming that the truth will be revealed that he is an imposter so he cannot stay. His sons cannot take over (one is a criminal and the other one is weak with a criminal mother). The blind prince cannot take over so Chi will be next in line for the position. I believe because of her family lineage she’s not a noble by blood so cannot be called empress? Idk but i doubt he’ll have another wife.

What Arpar said… there has been clues but more detailed in the novel.

Qin Xiang (the jealous cousin), is consistent with her stupidity. Good for her, hope she really gets what’s coming her way.

I suspect he is the son of the emperor’s twin. That’s why he was being poisoned since young as Wan mentioned. The current emperor is an imposter.

This!

I’m joining you with this review, I agree with all of it. I dropped this drama around episode 20 or so… I think most of the high reviews come from desperation. It’s been a while since we’ve had great solid good drama from start to finish and the good ones are rare. That’s why when people are served ok visuals and below average but not horrible scripts, they are overjoyed and exaggerate. I fell for that until I started rewatching old masterpieces and compared them to writing, editing and acting of current “masterpieces”, you can’t even compare without feeling like you are insulting real masterpieces.

It’s good to see someone else who thinks that way.
