Yeah I dropped that too but what are your thoughts about this (eat run love)?
I was planning to start it but comments tell me otherwise!

"In between"
LoL looks like your taste has changed but I feel 50/50 about this particular drama. I was under the assumption drama will portray a "Female player" and tells us unique story of promiscuous woman covering up her tracks, but what we got was sorry ass cheater who doest even know how to do shit.
Like I get it everybody has their past, I am no saint either (I didn't cheat in committed relationship) but the way she was doing it.... It's a miracle she didn't get caught years ago

Its not BIAS.... its a freaking LAW
Revenge Killing is not allowed even today and neither was it allowed in past.

Let's just hope ML manages to find the antidote to Han Yan grandfather and his own poison. I don't care that much about romance, I just don't want to see the little angel cry and lose her only family in the world.
HE for Linger... Leads can do whatever they want !

First GOD DAMNN !
This was long and well thought out answer and I surrender ☺️☺️☺️.

First, I will apologize if you acknowledge FL wrongdoings, but I don't think it was a feminist drama.... we should stop bringing gender into everything. It was simple drama, which depicted the suffering of one human being at the hands of another human being.
Secondly manipulation is a skill but its a weak skill as compared to the hard/raw power like business cuz in manipulation. You are relying on the power of another person to get the deed done... that person may fall for your tricks once or even twice but eventually he will see through it and you will be left with nothing. Hard power like "official position" or business is more important cuz you can utilize them at will... in the end. I would still say, your original comment came out way to strong and it sounds like things certain people will coloured say in L.A.

The way things are going I won't be surprised if FL father manipulated Emperor to have his kid (although biologically impossible). Bro is primordial deity of "Green Tea bitches" !

I agree with everything you have said up to the point of stabbing ML, even if someone is clinically proven to be mental patient in court. State doesn't just let them get away with murder, the person is forcefully sent to mental asylum to be locked away, away from general public.
Too reiterate, we can use 4D dimension to explain motives behind FL action, but it can't be used as an excuse to justify her actions and give her a pass like you guys trying to do here.

Hi long time no see
or ML should prioritize safety of his own child and puts him away from "Emotionally unstable" woman like FL.

You don't get it do you!
Feminist debate started in ep 24 after FL stabbed the only person, who was supporting her without a reason or merit and if you try to read the comment of the person, who used that word.
She gave a long ass explanation of her usage of the word and I don't care, what you guys have to say about other stuff. I am educated and mature enough to use my own brain and make my own decision. Recent C-dramas are rooted in misandry (TPR and other bad ones) and if you think.... you need to put down men to feel better about the crimes of the ancestors. Then I am really sorry to break it to you are no better !
I thought recent victory of right extremist in USA and majority of other Eu countries against extreme progressive people parties based soly on young male voter base will get the message across but nope !
by the way Chinese woman are not liking this drama that much cuz unfortunately they care more about "Young men/idols showing abbs" and not that much about story telling.
Bye !

That would make you "Egalitarian" not a feminist cuz the very core/definition of feminism stands is.... equality through advancing woman rights NOT HUMAN RIGHTS. After that there are no check and balance in the ideology to control extreme behaviour.
From what I have heard China doesn't need feminism either.... CCP is keeping wraps on the things, the dating market and situation there is ten times as compared to USA. We are talking about 100 Million+ men, who won't marry no matter what and 100 Million + woman in 25-35 range, who are desperate for marriage with extreme requirements but can't get the other half to agree.

Do you happen to live in USA or Nordic countries?

You are not understanding my point of view, killing someone cuz he killed your relative wasn't allowed in an ancient kingdom throughout the world. Killing someone in defence was/is allowed.... so don't excuse her behaviour with b.s argument.
Men may have concubines, but ML doesn't have any and he made it clear.... he doesn't plan to have any in future.
"What's wrong is wrong"
and FL is wrong, period !

I can agree with you on almost everything you have said but still, you have been around CD dramas, and you know there is a pattern of man hating in releases of past two years. Unfortunately, people have developed trauma, and they tend to act out and to make matters worse. The complete bliss and enabler attitude of female audience on MDL isn't helping their case either.
If you think its one of the big reasons, I am major C-Drama watcher and I dropped c-dramas cuz of this very reason (I recently returned after 4-month hiatus).
I will prolly go back to K-dramas and other stuff, when new series drops !

I suspect even Minister Pei is alive and kicking and he has the antidote, or FL is going to contact that, female imperial physician to save his life.

I challenge you to provide a single comment, where I have called it feminist shit but I do agree with people sentiment here. There is literally no difference "misogynist" and original asker... their behaviour pattern, motives and everything else is exactly like people she is against.
The only difference between them, is one supports woman and other supports men... both sides don't give a "F" about equality and let me give you a life advice.
"If you want anybody to listen to you, last thing you wana do is start by hating on them"

She is a veteran actress.... that quality is to be expected by someone of her grandeur.

Bro although her actions are questionable... actress acting is very solid.

We can agree to disagree on this one.... FL acting is very convincing, and ML is doing best with few lines he has !

This drama is indeed 9.0+ but FL mental issues and emotional breakdowns have started to get to the people. I don't think people care about the romance, but FL has started to become mini version of her father and ML has become biggest red flag. I would never allow someone with "that severe mental issues" near my daughter (when I have one), especially when she has shown the capability to stab people and walk away like nothing happened (without iota of remorse).
Furthermore, her episodes of mental breakdown, when she goes to her father and tells him everything about her plan isn't helping her case either. Like she has gotten concubine Qiao killed.
