Have you seen his waist, his legs 😍, his smoldering eyes, or even when he's randomly walking, my God he's flaming hot, I swear the people who talk down his looks are blind bats
I am going to binge. I am not making myself go through the torture but man it's sooo hard. I really want to watch…
Me too 😩, I know myself. I'll be a mess + a wreck, I never do well following an airing drama I love, and I can already guess this one will be like Crack for me 😂
Let's hold out until the halfway mark at least, let's be strong 😭
I'm too thrilled to have my girl SZE back and can't wait to lay eyes on the tall drink of water LYN is, my God he oozes sex appeal 😍 those long limbs that go on for days....ugh 😩
OMG this is the kind of show that drives me batshit crazy, and it's taking all my willpower to hold off until it at least goes halfway but damn it's harrddddddddddd 😭😭😭😭
Ignore any negative reviews and WATCH THIS!! this is such a wholesome show ❤️. Just rewatched a 2nd time and loved it even more. I love HYA but they did my boy GTK really dirty, he deserved her 10 times over 😩
Ikr? Tell me about it, I've watched so many recs, nothing hits like this, and KWB acted his heart out as CYD,…
Lol that's my 1st ever kdrama, can't count how many times I've watched it, infact I've seen & loved every country's version of the story except the Thai remake which I hated so deeply. It's one drama I can rewatch a million times
Ikr? Tell me about it, I've watched so many recs, nothing hits like this, and KWB acted his heart out as CYD, I'm telling you you'll never find any character like him ever again ugh 😭
After just rewatching for the nth time, can't help but think they don't make em like these anymore. Still yet to find a character like Choi Yeong-do no matter how hard I've tried. Kim Tan & Eun Sang are my fave rich ml/poor fl duo ughh, and the side characters were so interesting.
Seeing as I'm a BOF die hard fan, these kinds of storylines appeal to me alot, and they hadme eating up all the tropes. Guess I'll stay rewatching my 10/10 dramas
I saw Minglan & Yanxi palace, enjoyed their 1st halves thoroughly but hated their later parts so strongly that I swore off long form/ harem costume dramas, I tried to give Weiyoung a chance but I couldn't even get through the 1st quarter of that before giving up
When I kept seeing Gifs of ZH & glowing recommendations, I reluctantly started this, intending to drop it at the 1st instance of the cliché storylines that always mark these kinds of strong FL costume dramas, that was 6 days ago, I can't explain what it was really, it's something we've all seen in similar dramas so it shouldn't be all that engrossing: young girl enters the palace and works her way up the ladder to be the big bad boss (insert eye roll) but this, this has something much more
Maybe it's in the depth of the characters, no one is a cartoon villain, just being evil for evil sake, even the most annoying characters have a story, a motivation for their actions, it's like I was transported into this world where I didn't ever want to leave. Maybe it's the fact that everything that happened had a root it started from, foreshadowed through people's actions or occurrences, nothing just happened out of the blue or to push the script, the story was tight, it'll grab you amd won't leave you till the last scenes in the finale.
Countless sleepless nights, feverishly going through the episodes, so much so that I forgot how lengthy it was and even wished it could be longer.
The lead female Zhen Huan played by Sun Li was captivating to say the least, there were occurrences that marked different stages of life, you could literally grow along with her, from being cautious, to scheming and then outrightly deadly, leaving no prisoners and paying everyone who hurt her in their own coin.
SL played ZH so well that her eyes, face, even hands had a story to tell, she brought a character that held you spellbound for the 76 episodes to life so effortlessly. The emperor as annoying as he was, was skillfully played by CJB, his expressions made you feel his rage, fear and even sadness at every turn, he indeed portrayed the suspicious, scheming, proud & ruthless emperor to the tee.
As for the supporting cast, everyone was so well suited for their roles, even the villains made you hate, sympathize with, then hate them again. It was such a roller-coaster of emotions.
If you're unsure of whether to start this, or you've been burned in the past like me, just watch the first 10 or even 5 episodes then decide, I promise you won't regret it
There, fixed it for you 😍
Pray for my mental health 🤭
If I see one more rave review, I'm throwing caution to the wind and starting this 🤤
Let's hold out until the halfway mark at least, let's be strong 😭
How's it been so far? 👀 I'm waiting to binge but I'm restless, 😩
Lord help me I want to binge this so bad
PJH / Si Eun's eyes are the most enthralling eyes I've ever seen 😍
This will be the first webtoon I ever read because this season isn't enough to quench my thirst
I'll sorely miss this show ❤️

Now twitching in anticipation
