I disagree with you . If there is a royal family that is how it is. They don’t have a choice.

What are you saying right now? Should women only marry men with a job. And leave them if they lose /don’t want their job? Did not realize that is how relationships worked according to you

Yep the PM is the biggest POS. Also what an idiot - did he really think he can get her by doing this? Don’t women have brains? I like that the FL figured it out but kept calm. She was not impulsive

I am boiling at the douchebag prime minister at this point - on ep 11. When he is yelling at the FL- seriously? She should have slapped him till his teeth fell out. I can’t believe she is just standing there listening to his crap. And he former secretary Do. Can’t she open her mouth? WTF

I don’t think we watched the same show- let’s just leave it like at that. You should go write your own story

The war was not his obsession . It was his duty and path in life. That was entrusted to him by the emperor . He can’t just drop all that and go off to chase a woman in a different realm. They both had their responsibilities given who they are. I actually liked that part. It was an equal relationship. And they had genuine respect for each other . He loved a queen from a different realm- of course he knew that they couldn’t be beside each other always. Plus Duan Xu would not have survived if he went to the spirit realm. Also why would he abandon his soldiers and leave like that? They were not trying to portray that kind of relationship here at all where the ML was so obsessed with the FL that he would drop everything beyond reason and she was not weak and did not have that expectation of him. He had a duty and responsibility that he needed to uphold for his country just like she had her own responsibilities

Well we don’t know who did that . Could be the PM

Well I disagree. Everyone has a choice. She stood by and did nothing and she treats the child horribly. I don’t need a redemption for her or her father.

She needs to own up to her choices and pay for what she did.

Yes exactly. The way they are treating that child- it’s abuse

I think the ML is a good actor and his performance has improved quite a bit since e Lovely Runner.

The story is great! It’s fiction - a good fiction needs to be entertaining and this one is. What bad script??? I think the story is very interesting , the romance is good, there is some intrigue/ thriller elements . And the aesthetics are good. All the actors have performed well. To me that is a wholesome enjoyable drama.

Watching episodes 19-23 and still the most heart wrenching episodes to watch. Even after so many rewatches. I guess I will never get over this drama. And I still can’t get over how they go all out to protect each other .

Oh well ending of ep 10 was pretty anticlimactic!

Well said!

I honestly don’t care about the queen mother’s ‘sacrifices’. She is beyond redemption

Not every drama needs to be a masterpiece . As long as it has an entertaining and interesting story that really pulls you in - you can enjoy it. That is the purpose! I am thoroughly loving this one. Reminds me of some of the older kdramas too. I used to love those . And I wish they still did 16 episodes or 21 episodes . I am not a huge fan of these shortened dramas. It loses that emotional depth .

Ugh - the king- that kid must be so traumatized by his mom. The queen mother needs psychiatric care and institutionalization. Her obsession and control has gotten out of hand! Another fire ? You have got to be kidding me . When does she stop?

Gee ep 9 is totally killing me . And I just want that PM to fuck off . I don’t get why the FL is so blindsided when it comes to him. It’s getting a little much. For all the bravado she showed - she is caving now with some noble idiocy??? What can I say - the dad gave her ‘amazing advice’!

I don’t like this PM guy . He is playing this double game just to get the FL. But when they showed the flashback to the poisoning - I still think the FL’s attitude is a little bit of an issue. Let’s hope she wakes up
