Which episode? I am not even watching the drama but happy to watch one episode.

People recommended 4 dramas which I haven't watched so I am in a totally chilled mood because they both are good. So I am totally chilled watching a random episode.

To each their own. There will always be a new saguek around the corner. The palace intrigue levels you're talking about are the type of saguek I won't touch with a 10 foot pole. This is the type of saguek I will like.

I think she is cast right in this drama. Those refined ladylike looks you are talking about won't suit this Crown Princess character. They switch bodies remember? This role requires body acting. The refined palace ladies looks won't transfer to the travelling merchant look that Park Dal I has presently. Then the CP will inhabit that body. The director cast it correctly because no one with the palace look, immaculate hair, slim petite built would suit the role of Park Dal I. There is a loveliness, a certain grifter persona from KSJ. Those refined Crown Princess palace hanbok look actresses can't cut it.

By the way, this is not an upset post from me because you didn't like it. I was doing an analysis on why KSJ was the right actress.

You are correct. This is not that sort of drama. There is enough palace plotting right now for me. There are 2 dead Queens and Crown Princess. There is another dead King and another Crown Prince.

Plus a dead court lady.

That's enough palace politics already for me. I don't need torture and whole family massarces. I really, REALLY hate those whole family massacre plots.

I have been staring. The father is an eunuch? And the aunt a former court lady? The one who brought her to them is missing?

The faces of the court lady is different from the aunt you see.

Did her court lady die in place of the Crown Princess?

I wasn't expecting the flashbacks and palace intrigue stories to be so complete.

I was also shocked that it ended.

Will try really have the body swap?

It won't be romantic if the ML inhabits the FL's body and vice versa.

It has more comedic moments that I thought

Like seriously. Why does Kim Wooju have to be a cheating prig and still be in the picture in ep 11?

Can't the writer find another plot? They wrapped up the other family's mess so fast. I wanted more romance between Mr Baek and Jingyeong.

Its fine. The romance hasn't started and its a 40 episode drama. I will watch it after ep 40 provided ep 40 is good. I have dropped multiple dramas after the ending was bad.

Thanks. I now have 4 new dramas to watch thanks to recommendations from this post. Never even heard of this drama. So am off to search.

I went to read the synopsis. Its not my usual genre but I have not watched any of the leads at all before bar 1 drama The Glory. I went through their filmograpby. Amazing. I literally don't know who they are or watched those dramas. I will have to read all the synopsis one by one. Thank you.

I am not intending to watch it. However I am still curious.

Thanks.

Done. I am wrung dry.

Was it really 38 episodes? This is the first historical drama which I actually watched.

So what did happen with Su Mu Yu and Bai He Huai?

Did the Lanyue guy ever end up with Yumo?

The Prince of Langya died. So what role does his son play? Minor passing character?

No I am not watching the other 2 series.

I feel wrung dry. I wasn't expecting what happened to the Mu family you see.

Or BHH.

In that case- will say though I think if Bai Jin Ting or Shiao Shan has a costume drama coming up I'd watch. If not I have actually finished about 8 ebooks the last couple of weeks. That's how few dramas have been interesting to me. Or no dramas except Blood River and Would you marry me? I think I dropped 3 of the web dramas last week. Yeah that's how few dramas have caught my interest. However someone suggested Mobius in this post. I somehow missed that drama so am off to watch it. It pays to cast the net wide to get recommendations you know. I don't have time to search for dramas all the time. I just watch what's on viki, Netflix, Prime and that is usually enough for me.

I have decided to wait till ep 40 airs. I have found a few modern dramas to watch so this can wait.

I watched costume dramas because there was no modern dramas. I actually watch a lot of Kdramas. I just didn't rate it because its 2 episodes a week. I didn't feel like writing a review.

Chinese costume dramas finish in 3 weeks or so. I rewatch modern dramas a lot. I don't watch or rewatch costume dramas. I especially hate palace politics.

I watch Chinese costume dramas because of some actors. My favourite dramas are modern dramas. I have been pretty peeved off actually that I haven't had many modern dramas to watch this year. I have rewatched 1/2 dozen modern dramas while waiting. I am currently watching Would you marry me and You are my secret. Then about to start Mobius. Once Blood River ends I will be going back to modern dramas.

I rated Cdramas because I write fast and it's only 10 min of my time when the series end. No biggie to me. Compared to some of you prolific viewers I might have completed less than 10 costume dramas this year. This includes the web dramas.

I didn't complete The story of a female General, The Glory- missed 4 episodes, the 2nd part of The Blossom, then another costume drama- with the tall actor- missed about 4 or 5 episodes because the brother dies, dropped almost ALL the xianxia dramas at about ep 18- 20. Whatever they were- didn't finish it.

3. I found 3 I haven’t watched. Thanks. I am heading to Mobius but then will try My Uncanny Destiny, My Fated Boy and Devilish Joy. I haven't heard of all 3 before. Thanks very much.

I thought Fake it till you make it wasn't to my taste but ended up really liking that drama. One which I would recommend to anyone.

I am. Will wait for ep 40 to air and then fast fw. I really liked the initial synopsis that its the yougnest brother. But the comments are not encouraging. I had no problems not even starting the other 2. I really wanted to watch. Like really, really did.

Ok will wait till ep 40 airs so I can fast forward. The romance hasn't started so no rush. Someone recommended Mobius. I love Bai Jing Ting so heading there.

Ok. Spear sister in law. I can get behind some female bonding. That's more promising that the potential romance. The actress usually has good chemistry with her secondary characters. Thanks.

Its episodes 3 and 4. I want to know the post sadness episodes are worth it. I absolutely hate itwhen dramas kill off my favourite characters. Wei Jun is currently my type of guy in a drama. Mature. Nice. Ethical. Manly.

And he gets killed. The MLs is all my dramas this year have been pretty boys. Or skinny. Mostly pretty boys. They don't even look as if they have outdoor hobbies.

So when I hit my perfect, perfect Mr Cdrama male lead and he gets killed in 4 episodes? Almost tempted to skip it.

I normally like the actor playing the male lead. Normally.

Hence my hesitation.
