This is before the events of Blood of Youth right? In blood of youth, the guardian of Tuanqi was already dead and her son inherited the sword (heart sword). Sometimes I think it’s after, other times I think it’s before.
What a show! I enjoyed the story and the acting of all the cast members. Some people could find it difficult to watch due to the theme being discussed, however, it was done well and quite realistic considering the context of Chinese society (and even the world at large) when it comes to the topic of rape. Zhang BinBin should definitely take on more serious roles so that his acting capabilities can continue to shine.
Also, I need to mention how well the story was wrapped up. As C-dramas are notorious for shitty endings, I make it a duty to praise those that tell their story well to the very end.
Now, I need to find another drama to watch simultaneously with Blood River (waiting for releases can be a torture for me 🤭)
EP. 17, oh my! My heart can’t take it. The main couple’s scene together deserves an award. Well played. First time seeing Zhang BinBin in such a serious and well done drama — I love when actors challenge themselves and move out of their comfort zone. Most of Mao Xiaotong’s drama I’ve seen are serious and well done dramas, so, not surprised with her delivery in this role.
I’m so curious now what changed for ChuChu judging from the comments in her betrayal. She was so supportive before even supporting selling the house and preventing the brother from breaking up with her. That’s strange 160 degree behavioural change.
Why were the earlier comments saying the princess died when actually she was the one doing state affairs and the brother acting as Regent.
Anyway, to the overall enjoyment of the show, I must say, it was near excellent. The characters all stayed to their true nature and the show was wrapped up nicely. I love when a drama is needed properly. The love scenes of all the characters were well done and I particularly liked the Emperor and the princess story (they had chemistry too).
Are you implying she had plastic surgery/fillers/etc? if so, you are wrong. you can plainly see in the scene where…
Oh please! I’ve watched enough of her dramas, both modern and costume alike to know. She suddenly has a longer jawline and stiff face for someone so young. She’s not even 30 yet. SMH!
This was so good until the last 4-5 episodes where plots were just being added for the sake of it. Anyway, still enjoyed most of it.
Zhao lusi needs to leave her face alone, jeez! She was so pretty why did she have to butcher her face. I am only commenting on it because it’s was so distracting all through this show. Especially with how she makes expressions. Even the makeup that comes with filming couldn’t hide it.
Off to find a new modern day drama. All I am watching now are costume-based.

I will definitely miss this show.
