Genuine question: will straight men be repulsed by the BL scenes?
Nah, I doubt - unless they are super-homophobic. There is a lot of flirting but its fun and inoffensive. There is a quite a bit of double entendre in the dialogue but its tastefully done and unless you are very well versed in Chinese poetic allusions, you won't pick up on half of it. I haven't checked but I'd be surprised if its reflected in the subs.
I am just DYING to see the Marquis role his eyes at Qiao and/or his mom... I promise he almost did it so many times. Eye roll please bc my poor eyes are rolling so much they are getting tired.
he's truly so gorgeous! now that he doesnt have his disguise, i cant stop looking at him. and when he was sharing…
She's is controversial bc she can be very bratty. I like her, I think she sometimes looks just cute and sometimes very lovely and she has great screen presence. She was a bit annoying in Novoland Eagle Flag butt she was great in The Dark Lord. I can see them as a good pairing.
I am also curios about what shenanigans she was referred but I don't think that it was poisoning the first wife.…
I also kind of hope its not the MIL but I can't think of who else in that household even likes Qiao enough to want to help her commit murder. So maybe the best explanation is it was not the poisoning of the first wife but something else that she did. But it was something pretty terrible whatever it was...
There are plot holes but Seven and Wallace are pulling it through.
The Marquis was informed by his steward, the one who was helping Shiyi manage the crisis. The Marquis already gave him the heads up that there may be trouble during his absence and to keep him posted. It is mentioned in conversation.
I have a question, which is born out of the different subs for : 铁甲依然在, (tie jia yi ran zai) which is…
That is just the sacred oath and rallying battle cry of the Tianqu warriors, who are protectors of the realm. You can think of the tie jia as their distinctive uniform or battle armor. So a literal translation doesn't capture the meaning but it basically means we the protectors (ie the armor) are always here. Since they disappeared for awhile, I used we are back but we are always here is probably more correct. The English title may be referring to their symbol as the Eagle Flag as an army always rallies around their flag. But there is no direct reference to any Eagle Flag in the drama unless that was Asula's tribes flag. I watched too long ago, I don't remember anymore. But even if it is, should have no relevance to the translation of the Tianqu's battle cry.
