I would suggest watching The sword and the Brocade and the Story of Minglan .The female leads are smart, strong…
I watched this thinking it was similar to the dramas you mentioned. BUT I realised like mid-way that this is a palace drama which got edited and changed apparently due to censorship, coz someone mentioned that it is so in the novel. If it was in a full fledge palace setting it would have made a lot more sense though the weird editing would still remain.
I actually think this is closer to Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace⦠like a lower budget version⦠and the execution isnāt as good. Lol, a messy versionā¦
The previews at the end of ep 6 are hinting at this, but they're probably messing with us.
I planned to do the same too but I failed and gave in⦠and ended up watching 5 and 6ā¦. This is pure torture. š Iām going to try and wait until all episodes are outā¦ā¦ hopefully this time I wonāt succumb to temptation.
Itās a harem type drama, so if youāre not into that, probably would skip it. There have been some nice moments…
Lol. I arrived at Ep 20 with some FF⦠ok. I canāt, am totally dropping itā¦.
itās just weird andā¦. The actress playing the FL didnāt help tooā¦.. Iām so used to her being typecasted and just her natural resting face suits it too, I find it distracting with her playing this role, which is kinda new for her. And leaves me mostly confusedā¦. š¤£š¤£š¤£ itās suitable for a really casual watch cozā¦.. the OTT harem plot didnāt really amount to much, it was still very cliche/ at times illogical, but the production has a certain budgetā¦.
I read one of the comments below that this got altered to pass censorship⦠itās originally based on the Emperor, so it should have been a palace settingā¦. I think things make a lot more sense once you view it that way. And it looks like the ārealā/more serious political plot happens after Ep 20.

I didnāt fully grasp your āharem type dramaā comment initially⦠coz most of them get toned down when itās adapted to TV series unless itās in a palace setting i.e based on the Emperor⦠or the āharemā usually doesnāt involve like the ā younger ā generation/leadsā¦.
Damns! This is really full fledge harem drama! š¤£š¤£š¤£ I havenāt watched one of these in aeonsā¦.. and there are so many concubines! I canāt even like keep track. It isnāt like 2-3. Iām just like lost in the number of women. Iām on Ep 8 and I still havenāt figured out how many wives heās got.
Ikr turns out itās very binge worthy .. I thought it would be a hard watch like those weekend dramas so I stayed…
Ikrā¦. Shitz, lol, Iām still back to me wanting to buy all the episodes. š¤£š¤£š¤£ BUTā¦.. considering I piqued my curiosity by looking at the webtoon, Iām going to try and forget this, wait until everything airs before I binge it. š¤£

I actually think it will translate well on-screen considering the episodes aired. The webtoon plot is OTT but it flows smoothly and sort of sensibly. Like nothing too jumpy or too many missing puzzles. Itās just cliched. So as long as the actors and production team do a good job then itād be fine.

Ok, I just read spoilers from the webtoon, itās SUPER makjang kinda plot actually, made me roll my eyes a bitā¦. š¤£š¤£š¤£ So itās actually the execution of the TV series that is good. And the cast. Ah, also it was smart to make it 12 episodesā¦. Anything more than that would have been a drag coz the original webtoon is relatively simple/short.

We are in the same boatā¦.. š¢ā¤ļø this is badā¦ā¦ how nowā¦.. only 4 episodes are outā¦ā¦ Iām so desperateā¦.. is there somewhere I can pay to get all the episodes right nowā¦ā¦. šššš
I want to bang my head on the wall for starting this without waiting for it to endā¦. ššš This is pure torture!!!
I didnāt realise it was adapted from a webtoon! I wouldnāt have if I knewā¦.. damnssssā¦.. I thought it was just another makjang written by K-screenwriters esp with that promotional poster.
blood-related "romance"? What?! How can you call brotherly affection "romance"?
Think itās just the difference in culture and expression of languages..
Iām a girl and Iād like to believe Iām romantic towards everyone including my female blood relativesā¦. But in reality my sister probably doesnāt feel that way but instead Iām probably very romantic towards my female friendsā¦. Kinda like most bromance/sismance themes portrayed in film. Itās not just affectionā¦. Itās more of a notion, a behaviour, a movement⦠like the Romanticism period in history⦠just like Neymar and his sisterā¦.

Romance in a way of bromanceā¦. Most blood sibling relationships are notā¦ā¦ āromanticā⦠but itās related to how the term ābromanceā came about, I believe itās an abbreviation for ābrotherly-romanceāā¦. The romance I meant is the exactly like how the ML described the definition of āromanceā in Dr.Romantic which stems from romanticismā¦.
