I just started watching this drama but I just can't bear seeing lots of comments about the "chemistry" between…
Idk what the comments are saying, (I watch the day after release and there's so many unmarked spoilers) but chemistry comes in many forms not just romantic. They do have a strong dynamic together and their shared scenes are specially good, full of tension and intrigue and my favourites, so probably that's what gives the people ideas. Also Marquis is very well written, he's not a shallow evil just for the sake of being evil or madman sort of villain.
This being said, in my own humble opinion many historical cdramas and novels have the enemies to lovers theme, even if in the most cases the evil one is turned out to be framed but still there are the so many tropes of dark love a/or famous difficult or even toxic relationships led to the true love stories so a lot of people reading/watching and enjoying them are bound to root for these kind of things in the fiction land as a general. I guess matching XZ with male characters is another point.
You know GM was the one who taught ZH strategy when they use the same method to keep the someone from hesitation. GM took ZH to his old home and made him remember everything he'd seen from his tunnel to strengthen his resovle.
And ZH told ZZX to remember how his mother, who was the only one loved him unconditionally, died to make him stay at the army.
His benefactor and shifus (3 of them) are so fishy. He knows nothing about them, neither do we. Dong Xiu told…
Hmmm, were they normal people with no connection, they would've known one thing or two but they're too knowledgeable about who's who or what's what. I hope we know what's their deal sooner and not at the last episodes.
I feel like the mask man is the 3rd personβ¦ π΅βπ«π΅βπ«π΅βπ« everything is unpredictable π€£
I hope if they're going to bore us with an unneeded romance, at least do it that way. She has the potential, resources and motives to be an antagonist, she could use him to get to the Marquis and maybe finding ancient relics of her nation and eventually become an enemy.
His benefactor and shifus (3 of them) are so fishy. He knows nothing about them, neither do we. Dong Xiu told…
Yeah, in normal situation he would never trust such people but his position is special so he has to work with them. They also taught him everything he knows.
Why I feel ML's shifo has something to do with the Duke and that 2nd guy who has a fish token. Shifo knows everything…
His benefactor and shifus (3 of them) are so fishy. He knows nothing about them, neither do we. Dong Xiu told him to ask his questions from GM but he didn't answer and seems ZH has forgotten all about it.
How he might've guessed in your opinion? For all they know, they killed Zhinu with his family. If Zhinu was lost…
ZH answered this question when he was talking to Gao Ming about ZZX and his mom. Marquis is able to change his love and attention when it confronts his power. I'm not convinced of Qu's death but about YZ he was endangering his stance in front of everyone who's anyone at the court also in his desperation he was spilling the beans about Koui family's masacre. He had to kill him to save himself. He looks at people around him, his lackeys, aides and even family as means to reach his goals. He threw aside his favourite concubine and son to gain his FIL's favours. If you look at his reactions with this eye, you can understand his actions.
And i also feel that Duke Ping Jin has already guessed who ZH is, he i snot stupid. This might also be one of…
How he might've guessed in your opinion? For all they know, they killed Zhinu with his family. If Zhinu was lost he could be cautious about a son returning for revenge but the friend sacrificed himself so his file is closed in PJ's mind. π€
Don't you think the half-naked scenes of Xiao Zhan is a bit too much for this genre??I've watched so many historical…
He has his face altered so if he's going to be recognised he's got to be half naked with exposed back. Blame it on his shifus who didn't do a plastic surgery there as well. π

Also he has many enemies, ZH can be anyone.
