They're not related on the drama. In the novel they were indeed cousins, but in ancient China it was acceptable…
Thanks everyone for elaborating further. Of course, I understand that marrying cousins is a practice done throughout history around the world in certain countries. Its just I wasn't sure which logic the world of this drama go by. Because it seem to me all the princes sees Wan er as the younger sister in the family even when Emperor said the one that marry her get all these benefits, it didnt seem like any of them were interested enough to woo her. Then we found out Fan Xian is the brother to these princes... hence I wondered, hope that make sense
Something fun to think about, if FX gets instated as prince later on... so what # prince will he be in the order of princes?
Maybe novel readers already knows the answer. Boy I cant wait to see each of their reactions especially Crown and 2nd prince when the secret get reveal lol
I think the plot hole of this drama is if Gwi Joo was the one who save Da Hae from the fire, how did she survive in the first timeline before actually meeting GJ, before he was able to go back in time to actually save her? Like if she never survives the fire and died to begin with, all things that follow will never happen.
I just thought of something, Fan Xian's true identity is the emperor's son, so he and Wan-er are cousins. The emperor knows this and still grant their marriage? I think I still haven't really recalled some details from the first season.
With this type of drama, I hope the brother won't start developing romantic feelings for his fake sister who has his real sister's face. Cuz that kinda thing always weird me out even though they not blood related. You don't always need a love triangle to make a drama good. Director, please keep it platonic, keep it pure!
The fact that FengLai (SL's father) is the seal to the whole Abyss is so undermention in this drama that I feel its so unfair for him. The poor guy sacrifice himself for the world and Liuyu. At the end again for his only daughter, will remain trap in there for all eternity yet people don't know about it.
He will start filming a xianxia drama with Bai Lu in April.
Nice. Although I'm not a fan of Bai Lu, this pairing is unusual, so it would probably be refreshing. I look forward to see how well they fit in term of chemistry
Here I was waiting for Shen Li to die and then pull the "Pheonix rises from the ashes" move on us... maybe next episode they will show more after she burned
I've been missing Joseph's face in ancient dramas lately, hope more of his dramas come out soon.
Last I saw of him was as a guest star at the end of My Journey to You, which was such a tease because he look so good in that role. I wouldn't mind a sequel with him in it.
This drama has so much heartaches, yet so courageous, so warm and tenderhearted in every aspect. It present so much human love that at the end of the day, it give me so much feels. It may be sad but I don't regret watching it. Its truly a beautiful drama and teaches us how precious life is. 10/10
Just started watching this drama, hopefully I get in to it. What I find hard to go thru in the 1st episode are…
When DongEun came back to see them one last time after she dropped out I was hoping she would stab the shit out of YeonJin eye, or disfigure the bitch face or smthing lol
Just started watching this drama, hopefully I get in to it. What I find hard to go thru in the 1st episode are the severe bullying and abuse. Never imagine that spoiled teenage kids can do something like this to another child in today society and get away with it with no remorse. Dongeun whole body was burned by iron and the adults just ignored it and covered it up. Not to mention that fking teacher literally hit her over and over again in front of everyone? Wow made me so disgusted and my blood boil! All of them better be destroyed or suffer a horrible death by the conclusion of this series or I would be so annoyed!
