Could there be a season 2? Because throughout the show, the empress’s nephew ( the grey-haired bushy bearded…
In history King Jin was likely Wu Sansi who plotted with the secretary and the crown prince and crown princess to remove Wu Zetian. They succeeded and the crown princess seizes power, poisons her husband and becomes Empress Wei. These hinted alternative conspiracies never play out in the drama they are just planted to confuse us.
Wow - that’s about halfway to YAMG’s inflated 4bn!!!
I hear its in the works? Its not my kind of genre but fingers crossed for you... although not sure how they are going to deal with CWT's heavy canto tone Mandarin...
For those who wish to discuss spoilers openly, you can consider creating a spoilers discussion thread under Discussions above, which is very heavily used in quite a few dramas. Otherwise thank you for covering your spoiler comments.

Heheh YM is now rumored to be dating CWT for real. My friend cynically predicted that was gonna happen the moment the show didn’t do as well as expected…

Lol I remember you had told me this as well. I had originally mentioned Pearl Eclipse but changed it to YAMG bc of the higher view count while airing but my point was only that SSS was doing well view count wise. I should have stuck with Pearl Eclipse rather than trigger that angry bird that I had to block and a long discussion of YAMG.
Actually the Douban comments are not that bad, in fact there are quite a few well written and in-depth constructive…
Yes of course there are too many bad projects and a shallow talent pool. The platforms don’t invest equal amounts in all of them there are many passion projects that are largely financed by rich men for their daughters or mistresses. Like Youku’s recent atrocity and ZZY’s vanity project Rebel Princess. TV broadcasting is good when the ad market is strong and when the broadcasters had high viewership but that is not the case at the moment.
why is there a broken heart emoji linking GBZ and WSY?
Be brave and watch. I think the end is a closely held secret that is unlikely to have leaked. Just avoid the thread here until you are done bc there is going to be at least one person that will watch 39 first and then post the end in an unmarked spoiler.

You are right gamers claimed they were forced but they were actually only heavily motivated to watch it. My niece plays the game avidly actually and she told me was not easy to opt out of watching, it was just easier to watch it. That is why I said gamers claimed they were forced not that they were. Tencent admitted this did indeed happen in their investor Q&A (which I was on) and they described it as an oversight and over enthusiasm by their team which was corrected the moment they got backlash. Maybe that is why gamers subsequently said it was removed or optional. Because of actions like this and many many other violations and bad behavior they have been fined heavily and have to donate 100 bn yuan to social projects which sadly investors ultimately had to pay for. That is the part I care about and not so much about YAMG's view count and how popular it was or was not.
