Well... that's kind of inevitable if they are ever to fall in love. Otherwise, their story is pretty much just Shen Zaiye and Meng Zhen2's story... I think he still questions her motives so domesticated is not exactly how I would put it.

Its too bad it was broken up in parts. I envy later viewers who get to watch them back to back.

Well it definitely made an impression of me - the slo mo I am falling in love shots - I was laughing and rolling my eyes at the same time. But yes, I agree the acting was not all that with either of them.

🫣😱🤦🏻‍♀️

For actors like him who only get support roles, its literally take what you can get. Idk his agency but if its a big one, he doesn't even really get a say.

Well isn't that precisely his typecast role here (and elsewhere)?

Unfortunately he is still at that take whatever he can get stage of his career.

Nah don't worry about it - its only concubine in name. They already told us he is in love with Empress Lv.

Well... he did stand in front of a runaway horse for her... I can see how a young, immature girl finds that utterly romantic and not focus on the fact that someone with so low survival instincts is not that great husband material...

Actually we are not shown how much she confides in him. I don't like this kind of storytelling bc they will most likely come back and "surprise" us at the end that they confided in each other from the get go.

I don't watch them. They are a total kill joy.

Well she did rebel at the end - and administered the poison at the emperor's banquet. She wanted to be caught to end her father's insane regime and her own suffering. She seized the moment and her father and Shen Zaiye ended up respecting her for it.

Yeah he is in danger of being typecast.

Well we are clearly in a new plot arc but it does seem rather predictable and pathetic. Why does Gao Han keep taking these hopelessly besotted roles...??🤷🏻‍♀️🧐

There is something seriously defective with this emperor's gene pool......

True but a bare hint of tears or a tiny smile would have gone a long way.

Wow this is so good.

I actually really like Ren Jialun when he is dubbed. Its only when he dubs himself that I have issues with him.

Tencent has been cracking down - its gonna be very hard to watch express and possibly even regular episodes there going forward.

I trust you.
That meant so much more than "I love you".
I just didn't like Taohua's kind of blank reaction to such a monumental confession. 🤦🏻‍♀️
