Just a rumor for now. I hope it's real though. Would like to see xukai in another modern drama.

No, I won't believe until a confirmation on official source.

It's not everyone's cup of tea since I was surprised myself I was able to be so into story of yanxi palace being it's a long drama, but it was able to hold my interest even though I really hate story about polygamy, the king having so many wives, but it's an eye opening to see into the lives of these concubines, also was really into the CP between fuheng and yingluo. Yingluo was such a strong and capable fl.

No news about season 2.

It's an open ending, my opinion they can't show a se so they throws in a he at the end. I considered it a se and ml died and dreamed of what he wants to happen in the future, it doesn't make any sense otherwise how he was able to get out when he never figured out the secret to open that door.

Heard xukai wants to be a movie actor, so right now he's concentrating on improving his acting in each of his project. Respect for xukai, hope he will fulfill his dream ^^

The ml gave fl his last name, so they're not real siblings.

Agree with alp as it's my top drama of his. I think it's his best acting to date playing three roles ^^

Thanks, now I'm even more excited ^^

I think it all comes down to whether you like the cp, since I like them in story of yanxi palace, I also like them here. This is a totally different story that focuses on the food rather than the concubines of the king like yanxi place. Also she didn't gives up and becomes his concubine, she decides she wants the position of the empress since that's the position of power that should've been her, also she wants to change the outcome of the concubines once the king died, and in history her son did abolished that rule. In term of xukai character, I guess I'm used to watch historical dramas with royalty that I thought he is not as bad as those I watched in the past, he would've set her free if it wasn't for his father command that they married.

Feels longer, I think it was due to getting our hope for this drama to air earlier this year, that why we fans are so impatient now. I'm usually much more patience. Also what with the cancel culture in china, any dramas risk of getting cancel permanently if one of the actors/actresses have some kind of scandal that could pop up anytime with no warning.

No it was good, I like it, just the ending kind of a mess.

I think it was easy to understand. The only complaint I have is towards the ending since it looks to be the censorship cuts out some of those characters that should've been included in the show towards the end. This is what I noticed in some cdramas, their endings are a mess most of the time, that was open to interpretation whether it was a he or a se, in my opinion the ml died and what we were showed at the end was his dream of what he wants to happen in the future.

He's handsome, but I also like his character personality, not only is he smart, but also mature in relationships, my kind of guy ^^

You're welcome ^^

Yes, it's a happy ending ^^

Did I said they're wrong, they have their own opinion, but it doesn't mean I can't express my opinion about this show because I like the show. Also what makes your opinion valid and mine is not. When you're going to criticize someone else's taste then you should be prepare for those who love the show to defend it lol.

She's a newbie actress, but I agree with you she could've been more expressive.

Thanks for more pics of xukai. Was wondering about the white costume he's wearing with a mask on, is he going to be playing two characters?

I think the maker of this wants to hype the drama by making the fans wait for it. This must be a marketing strategy, and it's the same for those dramas that have lots of fans waiting, otherwise why do they keep putting it out there and frustrating fans over the release date. Just hope it won't backfire on them.
