I started reading the book and it's so far sooo good. Gory, brutal, and complex. Drama smoothed it from any darkness beyond recognition. Can't wait to compare them in detail after finishing.

I loved it until the ending. And then it became chaos and they just lost me. I can't understand what happened and even if someone explained, the moment is gone. Xiao Zhan didn't make me collapse from awe. He's fine I guess but I was much more invested in the FL and Zhi Yuan storyline. When I googled how it went in the book I was shocked and somewhat disappointed. I wish I invested those 40 hours in the books rather than the show.

I'm left with post drama hangover. The show in its entirety is great but what really moved me was Eunbin / Eunwoo duo. Whatever it was between them, it was simply amazing. He's beyond cute. She's the best kind of crazy. Together they're just something else. Watching them getting close was just heart cracking. Everything worked, chemistry, writing, acting. Superb work. Can someone put me out of my misery and recommend something to move on?

I'm half way through and had to take a break 😆 it felt like the book consumed my entire life. I think it's easly 2000 pages.

I think Bai Shuo lost her mind from grief, and everything what happened after the final fight is just her broken mind conjuring different endings.

I'm reading the novel and Bai Lu is simply perfect for this role

Idk I think Feud had explosive chemistry. They looked at each other and I had chills. Bai Lu's role there made me her fan.

Better not get attached to side characters

Me4 😅 it's how I found it out

I'm thinking of rewatching. Nothing feels the same and I kind of miss them.

Parallel between late empress and FL is very strong. They both died bc they followed a wrong man and his ambitions. All men in the show get the most when a woman stands with them but ML was the only ine that was willing to recognize that and give credit where credit is due.

currently at ep. 28 and it broke my heart 😭 list of characters that I hate and pity at the same time is starkly long

episode 27, I think I peed myself a little from how hard I laughed
