Hey everyone - for people (like me) who can't let go of this drama and find another one on par. Go and watch the new drama The Double. Story is different but it's honestly so so good with a similar vibe and chemistry. The second ML in SOKP is now the ML and he is so much better (more charismatic and grey which we love!!).

So childish lol

WOW this drama is a perfect 10 so far. I love evertyhing! Finally a drama on par with Story of Kunning Palace. The wait is pure torture.

The rating should actually be higher

For you, I agree with her. My top C drama.

Hey , QQ please. Does the ML know her gender? As the subs are bad I can't figure out if he knows or if he pretends not to. If he does, at which episode does he find out? Thanks :)

Same, I had high expectations but I’m not engaged at all with the story nor the leads. :(

Why can’t Chinese directors be original and produce original content instead of ripping off from Korean dramas. It’s literally Flower of Evil with a historical twist. Sigh…

Haha the opposite. The strongest ML in C drams IMP

Why would you bother commenting if you truly believe this? I actually disagree.

The ML of Legend of Shen Li was never popular (even during Princess Agents) and is not the typical idol type either, so I do wonder which strings some of these leads pull. I assume they have powerful sponsors or parents.

I agree with her.

Agree!!

You are honestly amazing. Good karma coming your way. Thank you x

This is one of the few well done slow burn romance dramas. Once the ML confesses get ready to be swept off your feet. No holding back and very satisfying skinship

I think the « smart female lead » tag is misleading here. « Strong female lead » is more apt as she is very strong while still being vulnerable. It makes her more human IMO. I could not connect with the FL of SOM as I didn’t feel her character was realistic (and the drama was boring to me personally) so I can see why you wouldn’t like this FL is you compare both. The ML is so exceptionally smart that he really makes everyone else come across as dumb. But I think this drama is more focused on showing the human and dark sides of human nature and karma. As well as the characters’ growth.

The cast was absolutely stellar. Not a single boring character or bad acting.

Did you miss the part where she stabbed him and he literally thinks she tried to kill him and is responsible for destroying his whole kingdom? How delusional are YOU? The ML must coddle a woman even when he believes he was wronged? If I was in his shoes I would have killed her long ago. He clearly can tell that something went wrong in the past hence why he has now stopped being violent towards her.

SUCH A GEM!!!!

I ship Ms Jin and ShenLi. Their chemistry was fire.
