T.S.Johnson

My Gawd the subs. Why in 2025 are subs still so bad.

Oh okay. Just read the synopsis...we're dealing with coups and all kinds of palace intrigue - so should be good. I'm here for the villain ark of her ex-husband. I think he'll put prince Ning to shame.

Oh that season 2 trailer has me stressed. I was afraid they might go the route of the Flower Envoy losing his power...me no likey. We'll see.

What????

Is that change confirmed? Also do they give a diff second love interest for the FL? I'm not gonna lie, if they made the CP the Chancellor's love rival, that would be mad fun. lol

So is the kidnapped twin the one who died and the girlfriend the one who survived.

Yeah. I wrote that before I finished the series. She clearly knows and she clearly feels the same. Things are just, complicated. lol

So is she just blind to the fact that he's in love with her???

She didn't tell him about the request. Also he doesn't do what she says. She's been trying to leave since they got there. She didn't want him to be commander. He does try and indulge her small things tho.

Exactly. She should have been the intellectual equal to QM - and agreed her brother wouldn't have ratted her out like that. That scene should have been her confessing to save her brother, but instead we turn him into a coward, it was just all off putting.

Ya'll spoilers say they gonna end one of our Four Horseman. Yes. That Four Horseman. Like WHYYYYY!!!!!!

I'm clear on what they *tried* to do. But they didn't succeed. With one convo they humanized Liu Lan (father murderer) - they didn't do as good of just with Su Er Huang's characterization. They were too focused on making her a two-bit villian in my opinion.

I have a whole lot to write about this topic, but I'll just leave it at my one negative of this drama is the characterization of Ehuang. There's nuance there that they left out or barely touched to make her a b-rate villain. There's a much better story there that would have made her much more three-dimensional and sympathetic.

Yeah. He's just not a pretty boy. He's quite attractive so I never understood that talking point.

And yet I've commented on other shows.

Not agreeing with you doesn't make me a troll. And I've commented on other shows. If you can see when I joined you can see that.

And the Drama is making decisions that don't make sense for its genre. Like how some of these decisions play out later in the show is very obvious. Making it a frustrating watch.

Yes. It's May - and I've commented on other shows. I didn't create an account to comment on this show.

I'm not a new account. And it is fine to critique a show. Everything doesn't need to be positive - that is not how show discussions work.

I want to like this drama but it keeps doing stupid things. So I'ma pause on it and let it finish before I decide if I'm gonna watch it. Because some of the recent developments are terrible, especially for a revenge drama.
