Same...Those last few minutes in front of the capital's gates with the parallels got me tearing up TT

Thanks, I guess I will give it a try then!

I see, thanks! As long as the plot is logical and the production decent, I don't mind a cdrama with bubbly/romantic tone! I guess I will give it a try one of these days and see~

Xing Dou master was saved by Zhao from his death sentence, remember? With the purpose to become Zhinu's master, which extended his life by 10 years, so I guess that's why he said thank you in the end.

Yes hopefully he can one day. Goodnight noona and take care as well! Today was a fullfiling day watching the finale of this~

Yes on the final eps we get to understand his actions better thanks to master Gao's words!

Our Duke Su looks quite mature compared to his age that we really forget he is a baby haha Meanwhile, Quan Yilun seems to have a baby face lol That's why these two got us mixing them up ><

Yes it really did...I ugly cried! 😭😭

Oh common we are all humans and even the most deceptive and twisted people have weak spots. His was Zhang Hai whom he raised like a son. Also, it's certain he didn't fake it because it was obv someone like Zhao would poison him after dealing with ZH to cut loose ends and the way they shot the scene with the drinks in the dungeon, I knew it was probably laced with smth and so did Master Gao most definitely...

Right he seems quite charismatic and got the face too! I'm sure as he grows we will get to see more of him ><

Haha that's finee and thanks for the pics noona >< Any pics of cuties like him are a nice bonus lol 😂🤭

His first master couldn't help but commit suicide and burn when Zhang Hai left for the capital, cause his role was over and the guilt was probably eating him away since they deceived the kid and his benefactor was actually his enemy who might one day kill him, so the master might have done that as an atonement or because he couldn't come to terms with it.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind waiting 2-3 years more if it meant we could get that level of production for an S2! It would be quite dreamy actually and smth to look forward to!

PS I think the young Emperor was just disappointed and wanted to win an official like Zhang Hai over to help him share his burden and stabilize his rule lol

Is youthful glory any good? It kinda went unnoticed by my radar!

That young emperor looked so cute and handsome on the final ep though! And looks quite wise and sharp for his age~ The future seems bright for the nation haha
Btw the actor also appeared in Blossom and Moonlight Mystique, now that explains why he seemed familiar to me!

Fr she was so mfcking annoying!!! Like nobody wants your throne bish!! Just try to act like a sister and caring monarch...She was even ready to throw her own people just so that FL wouldn't gain any "power"....

Both the emperor and the villain most likely died from a heart attack. They are old men after all and after the hallucination toxin took effect, the terror that came from the visions made the heart stop!

I think he had an inferiority complex and that made him want to hold the Seal as a symbol of power...While talking to ZH about his past, he mentioned that he came from a humble background and was bullied in the academy by the noble sons. Also, at another talk, he mentioned how order was lost in court and that you wouldn't last if you remained "clean" (probably a way to justify his means). He wanted to annihilate Dongxia cause they are their closest neighbour country and they have had bloody wars in the past. So by hitting them hard now, he could make sure Dongxia would never get to make a comeback and attack them. He also showed signs of narcissism, he said that what Zhang Hai's father did wasn't a long-term plan or enough to help their people. He thought that by keeping the Seal and overpowering all other nations would be the best way for him to contribute to the country and that this is what would make him a better official compared to the others.

Even though the final episode wrapped things up beautifully, I couldn’t help but cry and feel a sense of emptiness...This was such a memorable C-drama and I’ll definitely remember it for a while~
That last shot of Zhang Hai at the capital gates was everything! On one side, showing his past self, unaware of the challenges awaiting him ahead, ready to enter, and on the other Antu waiting for him with the horse and the Seal, ready to continue their journey together, no matter where life takes them. Our Zhinu really came such a long way.😭😭

I didn't mention anything spoiler worthy, though? Just that ep 38 had me crying and that it's a HE which honestly almost everyone wants to know what the ending is like (it's not as if I said in detail)
