Yue

You have to remember she spent her life in the army. It's normal she doesn't have high emotional intelligence or political maneuvering😅 She's like the typical Second Male Lead in dramas. It's a nice trope subversion.

Political marriage. No one asks the woman's opinion. She mentions her father the king loved another daughter more so she was sent instead.

She didn't consent. Her father the king ordered her to. It's mentioned a few times in early episodes.

Arranged political marriage. I don't see any romance in it

Well she doesn't love the guy. It's normal

I like Princess Zigu but there's a limit to this naive cute shtick. It's become tiring very quickly.

Good thing our FL knows martial arts🙈

It's like he built this whole image of her in his head that doesn't match reality.

Am I the only one who finds Yue Qin a bit creepy?

Princes born from foreign concubines usually don't inherit the throne though.

Most drama adaptations don't stick to the novel anyways.

I assume there must be more princes in the royal family.

Does he want to?

LOL! Wu Jin Yan also asked a man to use her in the Double XD

ML's wardrobe is gorgeous. Costume designer did a great job.

Just started this. This is a good production for a Cdrama. Although I'm surprised by how naive the Xiyan royal siblings are. Did no one school them in politics?

We're talking about different things. As a viewer and a human being, I agree with you. As a writer, a character must have a certain characteristics and a pillar to build around. His has been justice for his family and by extension to others who face the same tragedy, but he wavers a lot during the first 6 episodes. It's shoddy writing on part of the scriptwriter.

Of course. But I am talking in the context of his characterization in the drama, not as our empathy with him as viewers. This is probably why some viewers find him annoying. He's not consistent in his actions/beliefs.

Han Da On's behaviour is erratic. I can't figure out if he wants to protect the innocent and uphold the law or if he's going vigilante. Justitita's court rulings at least have the flimsy excuse of legal procedures on her side, but he seems like a trauma victim more than a detective.

Demons are not supposed to feel emotions. Not the softer, more positive ones at least.
