I have lost count of how many emperors / kings I have seen (in dramas) throw things at their sons, causing their heads to bleed. Of course, I am including Sageuks.

I get what you are saying about male leads (whatever their age) making more of an effort even if it is just to fake it.

This isn't really a toxic relationship - not in the usual sense. They both give as good as they get and - let's face it - they are enemies in historical times. But don't worry, it doesn't last long.

Oh. It's you again, Tom. Here are my thoughts: You make a valid point - or it would be, were it grammatically correct. Do you mean 'MEMBER OF the audience? (For those who think that I am being OTT about this person's grammar - bear in mind that he likes to insult international viewers for being illogical or "having no brain cells" - hence my reply.
Your comment, "Another crazy international audience..." I am a MEMBER OF the stated international audience but I am not crazy - nor unintelligent. Do you think that we, the collective MEMBERS have a hive mind - that the audience as one entity is stupid? Oh, no. Silly me! You think that there is more than one international audience, don't you! (Sigh.) I ask you again, Tom (since you never answered my reply to your last post). Where are YOUR brain cells? I can just imagine the Borg Queen saying, "We would certainly not add your particular brand of biological distinctiveness to our own, Tom".

Lack of chemistry has nothing to do with age - your premise is flawed. This is...ahem...basic biology.

Doesn't one in every five historical dramas do that? Or is it every four? Or even three?

Was that dramacool (formerley one of the myasiant.v sites? Also I went on Kissasian for the first time but the play button does not work It seems that one can only download which I won't do.

I have just watched eps. 1-6 with Eng subs on Bilibili (no ads) https://www.bilibili.tv/en/video/4796999775426560

Humans have been horrifying since they came into being. You think that they are different now?

Thank you for the link. I have not read anything about this anywhere else. One site said that the actor Fan Shi Qi was involved - which has put me off watching Dafeng and rewatching other dramas that he is in.) I have not watched the video clip in the link so can not comment.

What seventeen criminals? Do you expect all readers of this site to know what you are talking about?

You give this link but a wide, white banner appears in the middle of the page to stop one reading it.

I do hope that this was written by a young person - then there might be hope for you.

Could be. I should consider getting those. I pay for Viki, anyway, so it doesn't apply there.

Thanks, but it is on dramacool as of this morning. If using an illegitimate site, I'll stick to one that I know.

Well, yes. Weird - put that down to bad scripting.

I wouldn't know how to watch these dramas on TV - unless it is Netflix (which I won't pay for as I pay for Viki) or Youku on You tube. Anyway, I hope that you can find it somewhere.

I tried there but could not get it to start. I clicked the play button and was redirected 17 times, so I gave up. Yet, I know that many people watch this site. OIO shall have to try again.

Oh, sorry. Do you not have a smart phone or tablet? Not that I use them - I use a laptop.
