You are absolutely right. This thing is riddled with plot holes and unbelievable coincidences and the performing troupe is capable of incredible feats of deception and the FL is incredibly capable of handling it all. All true, the douban site is a nit picker's paradise in terms of all the plot holes and it is indeed hard to argue with a lot of it. It is totally NOT ON if this were a serious plot heavy drama but its not. It is just a light comedy/ancient soap opera that is best enjoyed by closing one eye and just going along for the ride. If you can't do that, best watch other stuff because this is the way this one is. I think its pretty funny and very enjoyable. I am not going to rate it that highly but I am entertained nonetheless.

This is 100pct going to be a tragedy.they are going out of their way to make sure that it is obvious from the get go. It doesn't matter, the best stories are sad stories. Otherwise we would be like Romeo and who????

Yeah its bad enough this pandemic; it is 10x worse when everyone seems to have lost their sense of humor.... though shalt not criticise this show/idol/decorative vase of an actor... geez...

Yeah and you know just like peeps who love a drama have fun watching it together, peeps who think its only so-so have fun laughing at it together... why is one ok and the other not???

Couldn't agree more... I am a critical person I can't be anything else. I don't deserve to be cyber bullied for having an opinion.

That is in line with the pace of the novel - slow burn.

This drama did not start that well but it was watchable nonetheless. It has since definitely hit its rhythm and it keeps getting better. It is a lot more entertaining than Sword and Brocade even though the main couple is nowhere near as good. It is not all about them, it is 4 stories about 4 couples running sort of in parallel and humorously told. I found both Yanxi Palace and Minglan so mind numbingly boring I dropped like a hot rock so I can't comment about how this compares to those.

Oh don't worry about it, this will definitely hold its own against Oath of Love.

This comment made my day. It really did. I have never been so delighted to discover that I have bad taste. Its a wonderful thing to not have good taste (by your definition). Thank you.

How wonderful of you!

Actually I like the emperor - he is not a stupid as he looks. He told him forget that, go be happy with a woman and have a passel of kids and send them here for me to raise. In other words, they can be my hostages to ensure your loyalty, no need to make poisonous vows like that.

If that is true than Hallelujah, all the fan complaints have been heard!!!

I think the least they can do is to give him bad hair or something in the sequel... Lol!!!

Its not officially confirmed yet but most viewers think so.

They best reincarnate all of them bc otherwise I will be throwing rocks at the TV!

Yes indeed she came close and Hu Ge was another big plus. :)

Tyvm. Will be following his career with interest, hopefully we will be able to enjoy his next drama soon. 😁

He was fine he just cried a lot too much.

Royal Nirvana exactly what I was thinking of. I haven't watched such a sad story since then but yes, exactly his acting there was really OTT... smh...

There are some sad stories that will make you cry but you should watch anyway. This is one of those.
