After reading some of the reviews and some of the comments, I decided to skip to the end just to see the ending before deciding whether to watch it but...

Yes. I look there to see what is very upcoming or what has already started so that I can look for it.

What about Chinese Drama Wiki 2025? I look there to see what is upcoming (but I never check the dates given on the site with the actual date of airing to see if they were right.

I posted a comment earlier where I said, jokingly, "Did she sneak in a cow?" If you don't know, historically, in Europe and Britain, milk maids never got smallpox. It was discovered later that a pox that affected cattle (called cowpox at that time because they didn't know any better) was a cure for smallpox (the pus was used as an early vaccine) . The Sageuk, Rookie Historian, dealt with this in depth. Btw. You are more likely, apparently, to get it (whatever it is called now) from rats or domestic cats, nowadays.

I don't mean that I would like to know from a scientific point of view (in case you read my earlier, flippant remark about a cow) but that I would like to have seen her display her knowledge in front of those in the drama who believe that women are useless. (I should have written it differently to reflect that.)

Yes. She cures small pox - but the director doesn't think to show us how she did it!

Continued: so she cures smallpox - and we don't get to see how she did it?! (they may explain it later, but it would lose its impetus by then.

1. Your answer shows me that maybe English is not your first language - or, more to the point, that you are not schooled in the art of British sarcasm especially when used as understated humour.

2. This applies only to ASIAN dramas? Wow. Good luck selling that one.

3. If I cannot accept it?! Whence came that inference? Regardless, I refer you to point one.

Parenthetically, was a spoiler needed for your response?

Wow, she cured small pox. Did she smuggle in a cow? (Look up the reference if you don't know it.) But I am more interested in how two people could stay in one room for 10 days without a change of clothes (especially underwear) and personal requisites and still emerge neat, clean, and made up. I know, I know. People could have taken the necessities in to them - at the risk of getting the plague themselves - but still...

Are they only showing one episode a day (at the moment), or is only one episode being translated per day? Some dramas will show one translated earlier and the second a few hours later. But this does not seem to be happening here.

Welcome!

Thanks. I don't know why people on You tube do this. They associate upcoming dramas with unrelated dramas that are years old

Thank you. I will - if I have to. When I go there, on my laptop I get redirected up to twenty times and that does not include the times I pause or try to rewind. It was never that bad with myasiantv.

I agree with you on all counts - this is a drama after all. But too many people apply modern reasoning to their comments without any thought to historical reality, which is why I commented as I did. My intent was not to offend. But, all in all, if she is stupid, we must blame the director for making her that way.

Getting permission from the emperor to divorce her husband is one thing - openly living with a man who is neither family member nor husband is something else. Although this drama has modern themes, you are forgetting that this is a historical drama. If you knew how cruelly a women could really be treated if it was thought that she was a loose woman, I wonder if you would make the same comment. There were several horrific medical practices (depending on the time period) that could have been used to ruin her sexual parts by order of either her family or the local magistrate that I could recount to you.

Thank you, I have only watched up to 16 so I'll have to wait to see.

Remind me (I lose track of the names) who is Ye Mo? I know that his name is Richard Li, but can't place him in the drama. (probably because I am watching nine costume dramas concurrently).

Bilibili. But on Bilibil and Dailymotion the subs from both were automated. I have not checked since, though, as there are too many costumes dramas to watch. Thank you, anyway.
