I want to mention that "The Powerful and Favored Coroner Imperial Concubine" (the novel this drama is based on) is not a big IP nor a popular novel. But with this drama's airing, the novel has now shoot up to #1 on those web novel sites which means people are now reading the novel because of this drama (usually it is the other way around). This drama is doing really well, enough for people to even go read the novel.
Yan Chi letting Qin Wan know that their goals are basically aligned. 🥲 I love them. And the family token??? Sir, you guys are not even in an official relationship yet HEH.
Same!! I've seen many amicable matriarch characters before, but she's just on a whole new level😆❤️! She…
Yes! She is great and we also get some hints of her regrets too like not being able to go back to the Capital after her marriage (loss of her freedom). 😢
I posted this before but posting it again, here are the names of the cases:
Case 1: 无头新娘案 (The Case of the Headless Bride) Case 2: 井底埋尸案 (The Case of the Body Buried in the Well) Current case/Case 3: 百草园嗜心案 (The Case of the Hundred Herbs Garden)
Remaining 5 cases (not in order): 天道血色罚罪案 (The Case of the Heavenly Blood Punishment) 戏伶冤魂索命案 (The Case of the Opera Actor Ghost Murder) 锦衣少女案 (The Case of the Girl in Brocade Clothes) 猎杀太子案 (The Case of the Hunting of the Prince) 深宫寒影杀人案 (The Murder Case of the Cold Shadow in the Deep Palace)
Why didn’t SW immediately go to the capital? The current grandma Qin that we see isn’t QW’s biological grandma…
The 3rd branch lives in their ancestral home so it is kind of considered the root. Qin Wan as a lady can't just go to the capital straight away for the 1st branch because the 1st branch is involved in imperial matters aka way more important than the 3rd branch. If Qin Wan had gone to the 1st branch right away, 1st branch would have send her straight to the 3rd branch because "you are a lady, you need to grief in peace, etc.". Qin Wan basically had not proven any "worth" for 1st branch to accept her if she just showed up there.
I wonder why are people spreading hate? Both actresses are brilliant in their own right. Comparing won't solve…
Just ignore/report this person, I have seen this user in other Li Landi drama posts on MDL dropping hate comments on her while mentioning Zhao Liying who Li Landi had never even mentioned before. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The ones watching love that the FL and ML are normal people. They have their own strengths, weaknesses, communicate…
Yup! It is a breath of fresh air. The conflicts are not due to misunderstandings or lack of communication. They already have so much going on with their goals/case-breaking that their relationship being so normal/slowly building up is actually a highlight. In addition, those two have also established themselves as individuals first before viewers feel like they are being forced to ship them just because the scriptwriter said so. Plus, LLD and ARP are doing really well with the glances, the momentarily increase in heart beats, the way they use their eyes, etc. Just very well done because yes, we will get tons of kissing scenes later, but these moments will make sure those scenes aren't just for fanservice but a natural progression.
This show is SO good. Damn! Our ML is a supporter of female rights in this world and he is just paving the way…
The ones watching love that the FL and ML are normal people. They have their own strengths, weaknesses, communicate right away when misunderstanding happens, will actually apologize, and also own up to their weaknesses/mistakes.
They also balance out each other really well. When Yan Chi is ready to just kill, Qin Wan is there to remind him that the victims need their justice via law first. When Qin Wan is about to just stab Qin An, Yan Chi is ready to stop her for her sake. When Yan Chi revealed his past, Qin Wan said the words he needed to hear all along, etc.
It is just a very healthy relationship that they haven't seen in a long time in period idol dramas. Qin Wan is also a FL that actually gets to shine aka not a prop for the ML. Yan Chi is a ML that definitely has a cunning side (especially when we get to the later episodes), but he is also very respectful to those who did nothing wrong.
The romance build up is also very normal and C-viewers totally understood why Yan Chi had already fell for Qin Wan. A FL-centric drama is successful when the viewers can get the FL's charisma and understand why people would fall for her + she isn't just a camera lens to show how amazing the ML is.
