No offense but this drama didn't served me the things I personally wanted or i thought i might get from the drama.…
For me, this is more of a healing story about two damaged people. All those romance, political intrigues, etc. are secondary, and I don't think the director and writer even intended this drama to be one, since many of the planning and scheming even took place off-screen and we were given only what's related to the two leads.
I'm sure the source material of this drama will be your cup of tea. I liked reading it as well. But, I'm glad the drama turned out this way because this is such a unique piece of art.
Episode 33FINALLY, the Lishan mystery has been revealed. Damn, the people of Lishan really sacrificed everyone…
It's not exactly reputation. They were protecting their principles and righteousness until their last breath, that they will not bow to the usurpers.
It's kind of difficult to fully get it with our modern eyes though... but that should have been such an honorable act that there were lots of such precedents in their history.
i prefer a male lead who fucks up because he is also affected by his own trauma than a character who keeps his…
You comment reminds me of why I like this version of MXY a lot, because he shows emotions and can sometime let his emotions lead him.
Like in one of the earlier episodes, he confronted the Marquis in the court despite knowing it's not the best move at the time. He failed. Our 'perfect' lead characters would never make such mistake for sure.

They spoke out, and acted on it as well. Withdrawing to the mountain is equivalent to withdrawing from politics, which is also a form of protest via not supporting something which was against their principle.
Don't forget they were one of the largest factions in the court back then, and their every move affected the politics. Which resulted in Empress Dowager not being able to ascend the throne herself. And, which is also why the Empress Dowager faction's response was that hard handed.
You said they holed up out of fear. I don't think that's the case at all. If they valued their life so much, why would they even decide to go against Empress Dowager?
Preview of Episode 33 hits the nail in the head. What use is an empty reputation if everyone is dead, these dumb…
As far as I've read, Confucian scholars value righteousness over life, which was the case in the drama and is a form of 'death by remonstrance'. This is right in their teachings and culture. So, in that context, what they did was in line with the context of its period.
Because Ye Li's other personalities need logical internal reasoning for their existence.
I believe in prior scene, Li Feibai said Master Zhu has already went back to Lishan. So, Master Zhu no longer exists with her in Ye Li's mind, and no emergency martial arts surfaced like previous occassions because Master Zhu is not here.
I'm honestly happy that the writer didn't turn him into a good guy. So much more interesting this way as well.

Drama is pretty good. If you have interest, give it a try. Be sure to watch it till ep 5 so that you can get the vibe of the story properly.
Pretty weird comment tho...

Drama says "Hold my tea🍵" and wrecked me with all those feels and sadness 😭
She is just going about her daily life but melancholy is permeating everywhere. I just can't help but choke up.
Really an emotionally intense episode.
Exactly, we don't necessarily need this kind of details. But, it certainly adds so much to the character.

Tmr we cry harder, let's go!
