I watched 3 eps and paused it. I was intending to resume my viewing after it ended airing. I guess I won't now.

Marital rape inThailand is illegal since 2007. But in Thailand, regarding rapes, there is the Law and there is the application of the Law...

Violent or non violent rape is rape. Doing it to a person who is asleep or not in a state to agree is rape. The guy should be sent to jail but if we look at it from the Thai perspective, there is no chance the guy is indicted even if she calls the cop the next morning. InThailand they almost all get away with it or receive little punishment. The drama is also romanticizing rape and it should be denounced.

The head shaving is all part of the plan... :)

I am sure there will be another twist regarding th eoutcome of the competition.

Seriously he did plenty of crimes. He used Wu Yuan as kid for bad deeds, he attempted to kill Huotu Xin. He drugged Yin Xiao to try to kill Huotu Xin. He used Evil Souls to turn poor women into what he calls monsters in order to create a God and achieve his goal of revenge and changing the emperor. His justification that he is only doing what the emperors Yuan did and he is trying to show that commoners can change emperors, that does not justify all the killings of innocents he did and caused. I don't even mention killing his master, the man who saved him from his drunk father who was going to kill him and took him in.

I don't like him, his haughty smirk and is ridicuclous sly laugh. I wish he dies an horrible death. lol.

I am just saying I regret I read your comment and I wish you had used spoiler tag even if it is not a spoiler. But ok, that's me only.

Yin Zhuang was there when he threw Huotu Xin out of the ship in an attempt to kill him. She knows he used Evil souls to turn poor women into "monsters" hoping to create a God and he, for part, is responsible of their death. He killed the master of Nianguang Pavilion, his own master who saved his life, took him in, fed him, raised him and probably taught him.

If she decides to marry him, she must have her own reasons. Maybe she accepts that he likes her and he can protect her. It is her choice but I still think she is on the right side. I hope he won't get away with it in the end. He has to pay for all his bad deeds and the people he killed in order to achieve his goals that are not even great goals (Vengeance on Nianguang Pavilion, showing he can replace an Emperor, Saving Suchuan from a chaos he created ... ?).

We agree that it is not a spoiler since the drama does not have to follow history. Anyway, I did not know about him and his fate in history (like most people here who are not into the history of Korea). I was shocked to read your comment. I wish I did not read it. It is not a matter of spoiler. It is a matter of how you see the male main lead now.

I like her too. She and Pei Xing Jian are the the best characters. She entered the palace to be a concubine at a young age when she was innocent but she became smart and scheming. For now she is siding with the good guys but I always had the feeling that she has a darker side. Maybe because she also has plans for herself. She is the most complex character and I am looking forward to see her development in the last 15 eps.

Consort Talented Wu

Weishang Yan needs to go burn in hell for what he did to all these women. They are not the monsters. He is the monster and his excuse changes nothing to the nature of his crime.

Ep 26: finally a little bit of fun...

The other guys LL, PXJ, WMN are doing so much to protect him but he does not look so great as a CP. Without them, Prince Cao has gotten rid of him already.

Mei Niang is sure a very bold and dedicated person to her own schemes.

Travelling in the past from a post apocalyptic world to change things also reminds me of Twelve Monkeys.

I am on ep 25 and this drama is upsetting. The story is not the problem in itself but the problem is the plot: how the story is presented. We don't watch the story, we are told the story. The characters are talking and chatting and talking and asking and explaining to provoke each others' reaction... This battle of who is the smarter mouth is so annoying. I hope they stop this talking soon and go back to some actions to make things more entertaining.

If you believe that the drama should strictly follow history then you should use the spoiler tag for your comment.

Good action, a few fun or emotional moments, the story is intriguing even if there are many things already seen elsewhere. It is coherent and entertaining.

The story looks too dark to support two romances. Even before it starts, I am not sure the main leads' romance will have a happy ending. But yes, who knows.
