I was watching this for shits and giggles being illogical and cringy, but now it's in the repulsive territory. can't believe they went with the incest route. just ew.
The premise is yet another badly executed face swap. But I find myself in the mood for brainless historicals so I have nonetheless watched the first 5 ep in one go.
the actress playing the FL has gained a fan in me. I replayed that whole sequence of her throwing the money and having a breakdown multiple times. she has such maturity and sincerity in her acting. Her acting remains natural and real at all times. I truly have come to admire her following this show
I am hoping for a BE for the first time ever lmao. Would be okay if emperor stays in power , ML and FL don't get back together as long as FL gets to travel experience true freedom and pursue what she wants.
This drama has one of the best full fleshed villains in recent cdrama memory so I don't understand the necessity to throw a curve ball and add a charlatan to the mix. it makes the narrative disjointed. I am more interested in the emperor and how the FL/ML will be challenge him .
You aren't. I felt the same as well. he is basically a tyrant's lapdog. nothing sexy about that. basically an…
the emperor literally told him in an earlier episode that he wasn't killing enough people for his liking and he as always made that sad pouty face but acquiesced to the will of the emperor . Implying he WILL kill more people. so yeah he does KILL and if the number of those executed needs to be high to maintain the brutal bureau image then it is arbitrary. "only punishes those who deserve" LMAO like the hua and shen family indeed. He has proven to be nothing but a loyal chess piece throughout the show. Feeling conflicted about it (uwu) doesn't absolve him of crimes.
I know I am the only one, but i am glad that she broke up with Butcher's Little Helper. Now, he can go and "reflect"…
You aren't. I felt the same as well. he is basically a tyrant's lapdog. nothing sexy about that. basically an executioner who knowingly kills/tortures innocent people on his master's command. Albeit feels a little bad about it from time to time. boooohooooo. no way a person like that worthy of someone like the FL. I hope they remain separated at this point. SML>>>>>> and I am normally bored to tears with his type.
this may sound a lil bit strange, but the king in this cdrama is one of my favorite kings in cdramaland. many…
I actually agree. he is now my favorite emperor in cdramaland. we rarely if ever have such a nuanced performance in this role in a historical romance. as twisted as it may sound I LOVE HIM . his presence elevated this drama immensly. he is the second most important character imo after the titled character. the plot moves in huge parts because of his actions.
the way the emperor casually pardonned the shen brothers after he got what he wanted was one of the most sinister things an emperor has done in historical cdramas. , people being insignificant chess pieces can hurt much more than torturing or brutality. seriously the emperor actor is magnificent
every character had a moment to shine.
seriously best show in 2024 yet for me.
First time youku doesn't want my money lmao .
