Although I completed this drama I was very unimpressed. The FL acting was terrible, ok, maybe not her acting but her body movements were mechanical and stiff and didn't look natural. The plot of the story was a little ridiculous. Why was BL so obsessed with Rui? That was overboard and a little sus. The same with WY, why was he so obsessed with BL that he really thought he could take on the king and win her affections? I'm not too fond of those story plots. It's borderline psychotic and most often too over the top for me. It seemed like everyone was obsessed with someone or some plot of revenge.
Also was having difficulty with the age gap of the characters. I know how young girls were when they married back in the day, doesn't make it right or stop me from getting nauseous when I see it. Strangely enough, though, I liked the emperor, lol.
Not gonna win best drama of 2022 for me. Glad it's over.

Oh yea, I was definitely a fan of ALP. 😊

This is giving me such ALP vibes. Not mad about it, but very similar story line for the ML and FL. Am I the only one?

However, the annoying naivety of the FL and the obsession of BL is over done. I get the FL had been sheltered and experienced “first love” at 18, but man! To be this annoying is almost too much for me to continue watching. Now Immortal master has incited BL to be even more annoying about her obsession. She should have died long time ago. And!!! I am soooooo tired of this benevolent attitude where if you forgive someone they’re just supposed to magically change. Every time, that comes back to bite somebody in the a$$. I was so irritated when HN told his brother that it was his fault for not protecting him…..like, WHAT?? Your actions bout to get the whole clan wiped out. We may not be able to walk on land, but we alive. SMH. Sometimes I think people just write whatever with no forethought just for the sake of putting a drama out to make money.

Five episodes in and I already want to give it up. Why? Because it feels like one of those dramas that will not end well. I do like it so far but it’s not looking good. I do not want to watch 40 episodes to get to a sad ending. That is not why I watch dramas.

However, watching Vin Zhang is especially satisfying.

OMG!!! Right!!

Really sad this drama is almost over. It was a welcomed lighthearted "historical" drama without all of the drama. The cutest couples and the king was adorable as well.

They would cut the episode when we are finally getting to YH background, lol.

Absolutely loved this drama!!! Only a few minor objections....I hate that there wasn't more affection between the king and the queen. but I could appreciate their friendship. Queen Dowager would have gotten an elbow to the face a couple of times. I say this in all my comments on historical/ dramas; God knew when to let me be born because I would not have lived long in some of these historical eras. I have somewhat of a violent temper especially when it comes to my family.

All of the sons were adorable, especially the older ones. Wish we could have seen more of the 1st crown prince, he is gorgeous. They killed him off too soon, lol. I could go on for days about this drama. It was just enough episodes, not too many. They didn't drag out the side plots and everything came together nicely in the end.

OOOOh baby! I can't wait to watch the last few episodes. Jun just dug a hole for himself. He should have known not to go against YZ. He is a man of few words, but he will show you better than he can tell you. Ha! LET'S GOOOOO!!! I can't wait to see what YZ has up his sleeve.

Oh yeah! I remember. I was quite shocked too.

I’ve seen some pretty intense kissing scenes in asian dramas. Whether they frenched or not you couldn’t tell, but you definitely could see the passion and the love…or longing. However you want to look at it.

I don’t need them jumping each others bones and ripping clothes off, just more…..passion? Idk. It was just really unsatisfactory. They make you wait 12 years for them to hold hands and then they finally kiss and it doesn’t look genuine. It looks like a million people are standing around watching and it’s really awkward. We as the audience know this, but at least make it not look as awkward, lol.

I love these two, but I must admit that their kisses will not go down as the best kisses in dramaland. I was a bit disappointed in XK, lol. It looked like two 14 year olds making out for the first time. Maybe I’m just use to western shows with much better kissing scenes, lol. I’ll forgive them though because the two of them together are the cutest.
The word play (“fight”) with WF had me cracking up. I love how their coworkers described it. She should know that she will not win against QS and what is up with the ex? He acts like he’s not over QS yet and it appears that he does not want to live off of WF’s family and their money. Which probably would have settled QS heart when she heard the conversation with his mother and she may not have broken up with him. Then again, maybe she would have. Who wants to marry into a family that thinks so lowly of you and your family.

It still doesn’t make sense and doesn’t make it right. It causes more strife in the household and the courts. Factions form supporting one son over the others. It’s all a circus to appease the egos and greed of men. People were murdered and women were bartered and traded like livestock and expected to produce heirs in some of the worst circumstances.
You may not agree with the slap, but if no one ever questioned or defied authority, nothing would ever change. It’s been proven throughout history. Someone had to to it.

Thankfully, dating is just dating. In most cases you can walk away from those. Datings purpose is to find one that is suitable for you. Marriage means you’ve found them. If you go into marriage with the wrong expectations then you get what you put in. Sadly it was different for women of ancient times and they just had to put up with it. Sadly it’s still the same way, just in different forms.

It still baffles me as to why men needed several wives to produce a son (I mean I get it, but...). More wives, more problems. 2nd prince is the "legitimate son" of the "legal wife", what was even the point of getting more wives? If the legal wife had a son, why did he need more wives and more sons? The king has to remain unbiased towards all his sons so no one gets killed because if we've learned anything, life in the palace was cutthroat. Queens poisoning concubines, concubines poisoning concubines, giving each other birth control....them heffas were ruthless over one man! Not to mention brothers taking each other out for the throne.
I was so happy that the 2nd young madam stood up to the 2nd prince. Letting him know she was on to him and he better get himself together. I was so excited for that scene. Loved when Li Wei slugged his a$$ too and how the 6th prince kicked him and held the sword to his neck like, "you will not hit my woman, nor will you stop her from saving her friend!".
Felt sorry for HJ but she's right, she asked for it. She thought he was the one and this was the end result. Like he said, she went through great lengths to get him to notice her. Unlike all the other girls that were trying not to draw attention from any of the princes, lol. Especially LW.
Last two episodes were very good.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my US peeps!Until next week.

Nope, it didn't.

That is wild and really sad.

I promise I was just about to ask for someone to explain to me the logic in not promoting or even hiring single women. That completely baffled me. Isn't it better to be single so you can invest all of your time to work and not have family emergencies and sick kids and all the other stuff that comes with motherhood. I was so confused. I'm glad it's not just me.

I think it was wrong to lie, but I get it and no one should be giving her slack because technically she was not the one that told the lie. She did not want the success of her career to be based on a lie. With all that being said, she picked a good one to be her husband. I don't care about the age gap or any of the other stuff people have taken issue with. He is a very good choice to be arm candy. IJS! 🤣
