What? the fl is 19 and the ml is 29?

Any decent kisses? I haven’t watched this show since ep 27…

Well, the leads do not have many anti-fans. That certainly helped. Congrats to them regardless

I heard that another factor to this higher rating is because the leads do not have many anti-fans.

Yes, the Hongzhi emperor. He had five kids with his wife, one of his two sons died young. He was urged to take additional wives but he refused. Unfortunately his oldest son wasn’t like him. Even with a harem full, his son died with no issue. Thus ending his line

Well, the Hongzhi emperor made it happen. A rare one. I want to see a cdrama about him! I am sure there are some cdrama on him since he is known for a rise and peaceful ruler

The Hongzhi emperor only had 1 wife and refused to take additional concubines when urged after one of his two sons died young. A rare one!

how are they behaving ? did they share a kiss? are they back together? if so, which episode? thanks!

thanks for the explanation…bring another girl? as an concubine?

What did he do? spoilers welcome

Well talk about a money grab!

ah ok thanks.

I am not sure if it’s the acting or directing but I am not convinced that they are truly in love. For one, they rarely show the fl’s inner thoughts, as she almost always look composed and poised.
Is she deep down inside in love in the ml? Hard to tell.

As for the ml, he has been acting like a love-sick puppy. I am just disinterested in their story. But I am sure they will end up together because the plot demands it.

Ah ok, thanks for explanation. Tbh, I am not buying this so called “love” story.

The acting wasn’t great tbh. The playfulness felt forced. I also didn’t really feel the chemistry

Why if you don’t mind me asking?

Which episode is that scene? I started noticing that fairly early see ep 15 around the 3 min mark.

Unpopular opinion -

I am so disinterested in this drama and its characters, but I have to soldier on because I paid $5.99 for the express package. lol

I’m sure that the leads will get together at the end, but I am not buying this so called “love” story. I have a feeling that I’ll probably look at the upcoming lovey-dovey scenes with a bombastic side eye because I just don’t feel this love. I wasn’t even moved by their bed scene at ep 30, and I actually laughed when the ml said “I want to kill that adulterer” …the acting sometimes lol

A major deviation from the novel because he is no prude in the novel quite the contrary but, I understand why they made the change in the drama

hmm I see
