No, I meant about the King ordering the crown princess to die! In Ep. 10 we see that this is not actually true. In one scene (in the present, if I remember correctly,) we see the king and the former court lady meeting and talking about the problem, and in another scene we learn that the Crown Princess (in the past) was warned in advance by the king so that she could make her escape. At least, that's how I read it.

I do hope that you have seen episode 10 and now know how wrong you were. Perhaps you are young and are not used to these dramatic, end-of-episode red herrings. 😊

If your 'Now the King wants...' comment is referring to the FL, be aware that that is a flashback scene referring to the past, though it is shown as an upcoming scene (which it was in a sense). I had to rewind it to figure out what (or when) that scene was all about. Does this mean that you had not watch ep. 10 when you wrote this?

Earlier, I called you churlish - thinking that you were behaving like a fourteen year old. But now, I think that you are a nasty person with psychological issues. How good-looking are you? The fact that you think that two actors are so bad-looking that someone should not even refer to the consummation of the characters whom they play, let alone stage the scene, shows me that your mind is seriously warped. You have questioned the intelligence of more than one person on this page yet you do not have the perspicacity to see that your own is lacking. Yes, beauty IS in the eye of the beholder - but that does not give you the right to denigrate or ridicule those whom you find unattractive.

You stopped too soon. The reason is given in the second half of the drama. The coup was mentioned, I think, in episode one - or soon thereafter - and has been mentioned a few times since.

@ffanta: Did you have to be rude to this person? There could be a number of reasons for not knowing this. Regardless, your churlish behaviour shows YOU to be more deserving of a put down.

Why? Because a lot of screen writers, especially in low production dramas, are not particularly intelligent - they do not see that they are causing their characters to be too illogical. Most humans, unless they are highly analytical or schooled in logic, display bad logic at times but not as much as some of the drama characters that we see. Also, the script writer / director unconsciously fosters this for effect to provide more angst, and the like, to make the drama last longer before the good guys can win. So, basically, the director thinks that we are stupid.

"Truely Have To Say If You Don't Understand Chinese, Why Are You Even Watching Chinese Drama's."

REALLY?! I have to say, (that) if you don't understand (proper) English, why are you even writing it so badly in a review to tell us that we shouldn't be watching said Chinese dramas if we don't understand the language. Is that not hypocritical as well as arrogant? And don't you mean 'English' translation? Americans do not speak American; they speak English! And what about (to use your reasoning) the 'Canadian' translations? What language do you think the Canadians speak?

I have read some good, some very good, and some not so good manual translations which proves your claim to be wrong. I wonder also, if you have considered that, in effect, you are saying that Chinese dramas should not be translated for people who do not understand the language. Taking this a step further, it could be implied that, in your view, nobody in the world should be able to watch any drama which is not in their own language!

Toss a coin. Bad acting or bad directing at end of 6 beginning of 7?

Yes but the son could speak to the father and the father could listen to the son unless the father would not tolerate this (We haven't seen much of their relationship.) Not having full power does not stop him from speaking.

Agreed.

I'll race you - for the best rant!

A few of us ranting today. See mine above - or is it below?

So, at the end of ep. 6 / beginning of ep. 7 the FL asks, "Is there something (that) you haven't told me?" ML didn't even ask her what she was talking about. FL, instead of asking something like, "Why did you / your mother steal my child", or, less dramatically, is *** my son?" she waffles on about something insignificant. Now, I grant you, this IS a mature drama with mature, intelligent, well-adjusted leads but what the 'ef' was that? - She just 'screamed' passivity' in this scene! I appreciate that she might have started to formulate some sort of plan, but could not we, the audience, be treated to a tasty tidbit? A mouth-watering morsel? A glimpse of an emotion which would belie this seeming state of inertia on her part.

My second rant of the day - both on MDL! What with the dragon prince in Dragon King's Decree and now this...!!!

Thanks again. I'll try to keep an open mind.

Thank you for your reply. (I just wonder why there is nothing about it on Western internet since 2023. Of course, I don't know about Weibo.)

What is it with this dragon prince? Can he not just tell his father why he thinks that the FL is the real war god / goddess? As for the father / king? The typical archetypal, angry, not very wise, narrow-minded, I-favoured-you-but-not-anymore-because-you-won't-do -I-say bull****! The father who never knows that the 'other' son, in these dramas, is as wicked as the demons that they fight against. Sigh! And what is with that stupid, even chauvinistic, male bird?! Does he still think that the FL is JUST an unworthy human female? Amongst other things, has he no inkling about her growing powers? If the female bird knows, she is not saying anything. Does the director have his head buried up his fundament?! Rant! rant!

Welcome!

Nor I. There is nothing online about the result of the arrest. And having three young granddaughters of my own, I don't want to watch him if he sexually assaulted anyone. It is important to remember though, that sex or intimate contact with a willing minor just a few years younger* than the male himself may be a statute crime - but only becomes morally wrong depending on ones viewpoint / culture / upbringing. (Compared to a much older male who is taking advantage and should know better - that is definitely immoral.)
