Actually, I have just discovered that if one has the latest Win 11 upgrade one can ask co-pilot to summarise the Chinese subs or it can cut and paste the subs from the screen to co-pilot and I can copy and then translate which I don't mind doing as I am learning (drama) Mandarin anyway. I haven't tried it yet, though.

Thanks. I'll have a look.

Read conversations between myself and gmat5694.

There is one - I have just watched it, but it is only subbed in Mandarin. For more info, see conversation between gmat5694 and me above.

Have just watched it. Understood a little of it (apart from the obvious which didn't need translating into any language) whether by listening or reading but the Chinese subs are too fast. I might have to go frame by frame and draw the characters by hand and run them through qhanzi before translating. (I don't know how else to do it.) Regardless, it was the ending that I wanted.

Not much time to fit everything in, though.

Thanks, I'll have a look.

In ep 28, I was hoping to have seen her so-called family's reaction when 1) they learned of her mother's innocence, and 2 when they learned that she had become the first female doctor - let alone her marriage to a prince.

Well, if you don't think that men and women should be equal you might like it but... Actually, this drama would not be as bad if it were the traditional male in charge drama - but this inversion is far worse (even if it intended to be tongue in cheek). I admit though, I did drop it, so I don't know if the FL ever changes.

Can anyone who has seen episode 28 please give a spoiler. For some reason it has not 'appeared' on the platforms where I might watch it. Thank you. Edit. It seems that I am not the only one looking for this elusive episode. I thought that MDL might have the wrong information, but I have just checked WeTV and they show 28 episodes.

They are / were uploaded on Bilibili on at least three different pages, but one person has already removed theirs as the drama has ended.

Which episode is that? Do you mean Ep. 28 - which I cannot find? (It might be out later today on the platforms where I would watch it.) Because ep 27 only wrapped up the the palace part.

Well yes, I do agree with that part of your assessment. Even my favourite Vulcan has more emotions (but then he's half human - but I think that you'll get my point.) What I meant was that although I don't understand much Korean, I have been listening to it for years and the cadence and the speed of her speech don't 'seem' to be that jarring to me . (I admit, though, that THAT doesn't mean that they aren't.) However, as I am used to hearing voice actors (some good, some bad) in Chinese historical dramas maybe I am inured to that aspect more. Also, I might miss certain nuances when I am trying to read the subs. (It is worse in Chinese dramas, because I spend my time trying to read the Mandarin when it's available.)

Exactly.

Yes. What you say is true on all counts - especially the part about the CP wanting to use her but (in case you thought otherwise) I was not judging any of the actors - only the characters. There are many people on this page who have been quite scathing in their attacks on the 2FL - but I am not one of them. I have even stated elsewhere that I don't understand what is so bad about her (compared to the average actor). And even if she is a bad actress there is no need to vilify her.

I like the way that she prodded his private parts! Its the first time I have ever seen that in these (usually Chinese) body-swap dramas. It must be very tempting to explore the new body.

Thankyou. Yes, I got that after watching ep. 3.

In ep. 4 do I see the beginnings of a change in her - now that she has alienated the prince? Maybe she will grow and become a better person especially now that the ML knows what she has done but 'lets her off' for the sake of the second ML.

Well, if this drama follows the usual formulae, he will prove it and come out on top.

I am not a dancer - unless you call early childhood ballet lessons dancing - but I do recognise dancers when watching fight scenes in Chinese historical dramas. I understand what you are saying about the differences that you cite - I was just trying to understand why many people have made quite insulting comments about her. To me she is no better or worse than many average or even mediocre actors. Given that, what makes her so bad compared to these?
