I am impressed by HOW the plight of Sima clan people is shown. We had seen it numerous times in other dramas (I remember vividly the mines in Burning Flames and there are countless other examples of oppressing one group by another, but this is really different and sobering. Keeping people as both breeding livestock and cannibalistic source of power has chilling effect.
The new trailer has me a little worried. I don’t want a light or exaggerated romantic comedy. I’m here for…
I have not seen the trailer but read the novel. There will be changes for sure so we will need to be patient with what the team will deliver. From what I remember >mature setting< on screen will include turning ML from a part-time kid (literally! 6 years old or so) into a part time teenager - no way that sexual interest of a man taking on a form of a child sleeping with FL will be shown in cdrama version.
worth the time? I am running all the things you completed to see if I want to watch it too ha ha ha
oooo, that is not to be missed. Thank you very very much. I love micro dramas because it moves fast. As long as it makes sense and is done in a way that does not feel like high school production
I’ve seen you a lot in short drama comment sections. Can you share your top favorite short-length dramas?
hopefully my appearance is not a deterrent ha ha ha. I liked in 2025 Ban Xing Fu Sheng, Dominion and Devotion, Love and Strife, Adventure of Love, Always My General, Money Is Coming, Please Come Into My Heart-all cdrama costume as that is mostly what I watch.
I loved it and recognize why: seldom does cdrama deliver costume scenario with "historical" characters selling modern day ideas as their own. Loving oneself is common, but not giving in to swoon but being the driver of the vehicle and deciding where it goes and who gets in is another. Plus the idea of monogamous relationships and women's right to choose when to engage in intimate relationship and even initiate it. Or and don't forget a guy not wanting his love to get pregnant right away because it's dangerous and he would rather take contraceptives than put her at risk. All put together really make it modern characters in costumes. But it was thoroughly enjoyable: 8/10 for me.
I loved the puppy (not necessarily what was done with him)! Ermao and other yellow looking Shiba Inu from other drama is fine but that black fluff was so cute. Asking Enigma05 to post his own dog's picture just for fun of it.
I haven’t gotten there yet, but I am wondering why didn’t Mr. Zhong raise both boys? Why did he give one away…
I am on 36 and still confused ha ha ha. Keep posting. I needs to bounce off my thoughts against others with clear mind rather than people writing emotionally making personal attacks on anyone disagreeing with them. I appreciate your exchanges with others.👍❤️
I am willing to give it extra points for the whole speech in front of the emperor. I mean - for a Chinese drama to say: what right is there to sacrifice some people in the name of the country rings like the nightmare of the forced isolations and deaths during pandemic. Or systemic genocide of special groups deemed "dangerous" to national security.
