No she’s not.

That explains it, will watch a couple of episodes and decide:-)

Looks like it’s a high budget drama, hope it doesn’t disappoint like many have.

Watching for the FL for getting a lead. ML never seems to convince me in and tough and war related dramas, maybe it’s the “pretty face”.

I think the demand, pressure and high competition to milk a drama commercially has become too high that the directing and editing teams have become lackluster and definitely stopped paying attention to detail.

Are you a porn loving pervert and an immoral drug junky?

I already suspect the emperor for the poison. His love towards the crown prince is suspicious.

I’ve loved him as ML in other dramas, but I’ve noticed that he doesn’t look good in supporting characters when he’s a villain.

I think his role is temporary since the actor is a guest.

Her dramas always start with a bang of her strategic and cunning FL, then midway the writers fail her:-;

This is a mini version of kill me love me

What’s wrong with the sound?

Do you usually watch on tv, laptop or phone?

Based on the tags it’s the 2nd ML. The colleague, I guess.

I don’t like how they are treating my fave (ML).

The beauty of life is that, we all see, experience and value life and its various aspects differently. I don’t need to argue to agree or disagree with you for you to see things from my perspective. Also, I don’t need to name dramas I’ve watched to prove a point. A glimpse of it is on my watchlist if you are interested in proving points, you can take your time to watch the historical dramas from there and see if you will still have the same option. Because there’s enough data and dramas for us to review and have different opinions about things later.

Your points are valid according to your perspective and preference.

Have a beautiful day:-)

Thanks, I didn’t know about the mandarin part.

I also hate dubbing, it feels like they aren’t that proud while also very protective of their culture/history.

In this drama there wasn’t dubbing of their leads voices.

Also notice that Bai Lu’s doesn’t get dubbed. Not sure if you’ve watched The Rebel Princess and Ming Dynasty, the two leads’ (can’t spell their names correctly as I type) also doesn’t get dubbed in dramas, and they have such beautiful voices. Also Luo Jin’s voice doesn’t get dubbed. Love his unique voice too.
I guess the idol actors need to invest in learning mandarin pronunciation since there’s a plethora of historical dramas in C world and if they take the job serious.

If you want to enjoy went any drama, avoid reading comments while watching,

Fair point. However, my concern lies specifically with the portrayal of historical dramas, particularly those rooted in true events.

Lately, everything feels muddled, which is why I stepped away and began watching C-dramas. Yet, I recently revisited an older historical drama and couldn’t help but compare the quality and depth of the scripts, especially the execution midway through and the way each production ultimately wraps up its narrative.

What stands out is that many C-drama writers and directors (at least in recent years) seem to falter after the first half. The endings often feel rushed, leaving viewers dissatisfied. At one point, I thought this might be because they were still adjusting to the 40-episode format, having much to say but being constrained by censorship.

Of course, this issue doesn’t apply as much to dramas that extend beyond 50 episodes, where pacing and narrative arcs tend to be more carefully managed.

Perhaps this is why I found myself comparing the script execution and endings across different productions. It’s not a matter of “one size fits all,” but rather an observation of how storytelling choices, midway development, pacing, and closure, can make or break a historical drama.

First line of my opening paragraph: ‘
I was recently watching a historical K-drama,’

We are on a historical drama page. Take it from there….
