That's right, I meant the Right Chancellor (edited). In history he should be Li Linfu. He was one of the most cunning, and infamous politicians of his day and very well portrayed in this drama. Unfortunately he was so powerful no one dared to demote or punish him until after his death of natural causes so while his family suffered for it, he was long gone by then. But if they ever get around to S2, maybe it will show how his actions weakened Xuanzong and he never succeeded in deposing this particular crown prince.

Geez at the most important point in their young lives, their folks indulge in mid-life crises...

I believe the Crown Prince at the time should be Li Heng, who ended up succeeding his father as Suzong emperor of Tang. Before that his brother Li Ying was the crown prince but as a result of scheming by the Right Chancellor and Empress Wu was accused of treason and executed. So Li Heng, the CP in the drama's position was unstable and he also participated in plotting against the Left Chancellor for power and to protect himself and his position. The final scene should be one of reconciliation between father and son where Li Heng burns some documents (sorry I don't remember clearly what anymore) that could have helped him but potentially destabilize his father. He was making peace and also telling his dad that he can trust him and that he was not in a huge hurry to take over. And the emperor should be acknowledging that his son's act of trust and good will and that he made the right choice in his heir. I believe Li Mao was the other prince that the Right Chancellor (Li Linfu) supported but Xuanzong himself was quite convinced that Li Mao was not capable.

yups

I don’t think it’s that different it’s just well executed.

Love Wang Xingyue's styling here. Will this be the drama that makes me forgive him for One and Only?

I remember this, it had terrific fight scenes indeed.

You could but Zhen Zhen’s scenes are the most tense parts.

Nope.

Will keep in mind. 👍👍👍

He is part of their "gang".

I think ep 2 or 3.

They are saying for mainstream TV dramas on CCTV 1 in China, achieving high TRP or TV ratings points as measured by CVB or China Video Big Data is a top priority due to their massive domestic influence.

Siyi and Chenrui are the "smarter" students. They tested into the No 1 high school. Chenrui broke his leg. He is the boy with his leg in a cast in the hospital.

Yes he is a veteran actor he made many popular movies in his younger days. It's a terrific cast.

Yups. Wanghe is kind of like the school jock every girl has a bit of a crush on. But Siyi has much deeper meeting of the minds with Chenrui.

Was it about the Kobe Cannibal Issei Sagawa's book?

Thanks for this. Sounds like a nice magical feel good story. Agree that both leads are amazing actors. If I had the time, this would have been the only one of the recently airing romances I'd have considered watching.

I think from Siyi's grandma's perspective, she is old and can't be around forever. She doesn't want Siyi to be for all intents and purposes alone in the world so its good for her to bond with her half brother.
