Another great drama where the directors are really doing their jobs magistrally!!! it's a she/he tandem and they…
The director is a legend. Quite a number of the cdramas we consider classics are her works. Sames go for the writer, a number of notable titles in her bag.

All in all it's a strong crew, and it was totally worth the wait.

Title The First Jasmine Spoiler
one doubt in episode 13 why did she order men to assaninate her from zhengyi temple?i couldnt understand...
To force Mo Xiuyao to let her treat his leg. As we saw earlier in the story, dude was pretty devastated at the fact that he couldn't protect her during the chase.

Well, Wu Zetian did exactly that in Chinese history and became the only female Empeor of a dynasty. I assume this…
No worries. I got to read the details about Wu Zetian as well. xD

Hard agree. Just these production and directing choices alone stand out so much already. I was also feeling fatigued…
It truly is the case...

Now, whenever I want to rewatch something to wind down, my go-to dramas are something like The Story of Minglan, where I can just let myself go with the flow. That's probably one of the reasons why TFJ instantly hits the home run for me as well.

Yes, that was the case, and also against the Empress Dowager claiming the throne for herself.

This is this, and that is that. Empress Dowager has close personal relationship with Ye Li's mom, and seems to be close with Ye Li when she was young as well.

But, politics and power is a separate matter. She needed to make an example to consolidate her power back then, because Lin Shang Academy which has disciples everywhere is opposing her path to power.

Because they offended the Empress Dowager big time, and she basically detained them on the mountain for all these years.

I mean, I was responding to OP's question about 'how Guo Jin can set an eye to the throne'. I simply provided an example from real history as a precedent. Gou Jin doesn't need to be an exact recreation of Wu Zetian. It's not a drama about Wu Zetian after all.

Mo Jing Li said Guo Jin ( I suppose Empress D ) had an eye on throne, but can someone other than heir of Emperor…
Well, Wu Zetian did exactly that in Chinese history and became the only female Empeor of a dynasty. I assume this Empress Dowager was inspired from Wu Zetian.

Currently on episode 6, so still far too early for me to say anything meaningful about the story itself. Cautious…
Hard agree. Just these production and directing choices alone stand out so much already. I was also feeling fatigued by all the bright colors and noisy elements in recent dramas. This really is a nice change of pace for me, taking me down the nostalgic lane of earlier cdramas.

"he doesn't hit her or scream at her" the bar is so low lmfao
Compared to other bastards of its time, MJL looks like a gem. The bar is indeed low lmfao

Guys how's this drama going so far?? I watched the first 2 episodes, but they didn't exactly interest me. I don't…
It's excellent so far.

For this drama, recommend to watch till ep 4-5 to fully grasp the stories and characters.

I am sorry, but I am not really happy about whitewashing Mo Jingli. I am only upset on him because he is harassing…
I kinda feel the same. Let him just be an unscrupulous egomanic that he is, so that we can dislike him without reservation. haha

But, let's see how it'll develop further.
