Mix of everything

Finished this maybe about a week ago so i may have forgot a couple of things. I think this drama is ok. Not so impressive but not thattt bad either. Maybe, im the only one who enjoy the later episodes as compared to the earlier ones it seems. Lol. I watched the earlier episodes while eating day to day and have no qualm whatsoever to stop anytime. But i find myself wanting to see the next episodes during the final arch of when liang yi was accused, so thats how i know i enjoyed the later episodes more. Well maybe except for the last attempt of qiu yan leaving liang yi, that totally has no point whatsoever *roll eyes
I mean, whats the point of taking the blame and leaving liang yi to deal with the grief alone under the pretence to make him bounce back? Completely ridiculous reasoning!


This is my first drama of the ML, and although it takes me some time to get used to his deep voice, i came to like his acting later on. Plus, liang yi’s character turns out to be cheeky later on behind his stoic arrogant mask, it is quite endearing. Lol. I have quite an issue with the costumes for FL during first half of the drama. FL has a very skinny body built, and the costumes given to her looks very unflattering to my eyes, i prefer the costumes she donned after she became liang yi’s concubine more.

In terms of the villain, gosh, yuan lang and qiu min are probably two most annoying characters i’ve ever see! Yuan lang is so superficial, and a petty rival to boot while qiu min is stupid to the point of facepalming yourself. Lol

And as many others already commented, there are a few illogical ideas regarding the script. Like, liang yi able to drive the noble consort to death just like that (helooo one, noble consort is usually too scheming and power hungry to just resign herself just like that and two, the heck will happen if the emperor finds out his official cause his mother to commit suicide later on? That story will not just end there). And also liang yi being chummy with yuan lang so fast after he killed his best friend (aide/guard). Too 180 degree!

All in all, this drama is ok and a can-watch-if-you-dont-have-any-other-things-to-watch-currently but i dont think i’ll be rewatching this twice
