I know that he wanted to find out what happened to Zhang Tai but it was kind of clear her was most likely already dead. And considering how advanced his medical knowledge became, he could have cured himself.

Ep 3: Seems strange that he just sticks around

Its not a comparison necessarily to refer to a director's past works. 🤷🏻‍♀️ People are free to comment or compare as they like in a public forum like this.

Yes, I think red would not have been fitting given what happened.

The CGI and camerawork is not terrible - it just smacks of Ever Night, which was shot quite long ago now. That makes it look a bit dated. But I like Yang Yang's cinematography and the fact she shoots a lot of scenes outdoors instead of in front of a green screen. The start is not that engaging - and at ep 2 I don't feel any chemistry yet between the actors so far. But we haven't seen all of the main cast yet.

It does indeed look a lot like Ever Night.

All that fan service stripping... 🧐Looks like they are getting ready to cook Han Li and feed him to the devil😅.

I am also illogical… and on holiday so I won’t finish it until another week or two…

I think he also played the emperor again at the end - it looked like his shape though I couldn’t really see him.

Just trying to follow their logic…

I know - I am upset he didn’t just kill her as well.🤷🏻‍♀️

Why would she deserve top billing - she is a one hit wonder whose acting shortcomings are becoming appallingly obvious in this drama.

Indeed she rocked in Beiyuan. Far more useful than the FL that had to be rescued at every turn bc she went charging incompetently into danger thinking she is superwoman. And considering there are 6 more episodes I am quite sure she is going to get herself into at least 1 or 2 situations where she is way in over her head. This is one where I will be sad if she doesn’t meet a well deserved ending. If the FL tries so hard to kill themself, they should be allowed to.

Yups and she fell for it hook line and sinker. You may want to cover your spoilers other people haven’t watched.

Wow this is violent!

Yes and I am quite sure all of her citizens that burned to death as a consequence of her rescue really loved her for it.

He found it!

Drat!!!

Because the FL is so much smarter? With her trusty bodyguard and her own non-existent fighting skills she runs off willy nilly to confront an empress with an armed guard and a prince in the middle of trying to save a burning city! At least SZY's sister can fight and she is one helluva shot. Not a fan of her or her antics either but her level of dumbness is vastly exceeded by that of the featherbrained FL. Who is only good for being rescued from being shot at. She of all people does NOT belong there!

For being too beautiful, of course not. But for nepotism and corruption that ultimately led to a rebellion? Historians are still divided on that.
