YL was a backstabber to the end, climbing the ladder of success. I hope he falls the same way he sabotaged Liang Yi. Emperor was a big joke. He might meet Emperean Fairy on the other side, and ask what happened.

Thanks for the clarification. You should have been the writer, to create these flashbacks. Funny, that in the end, the half Dashuo-Northern Liang CP becomes Emperor, after all the clandestine behind the scenes conspiracies.

If she was smart, she would have brought food for the staff on duty.😅 😂

At least, they were filming on the set, at the same time. 😊😉 😌

She's a wallflower...window dressing. I am surprised that Qin Xuan was not attracted to her in the beginning. Toward the end, she perked up, and decided to use her brains, to help her man. She was another annoying character, like Yuan Lang. They would have made a good couple.

😆😆😆

The camera angles made Jeremy look like Vengo.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 It was amusing that his assistant of many years turned out to be the Northern Liang snitch/spy.

I would love to see Jeremy Tsiu and Vengo Gao play twins or brothers in a drama. There was a third actor, but I have forgotten his face and his name.

Ok...I will have change my rating from 7.5 to 8. My earlier rating was 8.5 for Jeremy. I have to deduct points for Qiu Min, Yuan Lang, Eunuch Liu's confession story, the gullible Emperor, the Emperean Virgin Fairy, the dubious overlapping conspiracy theories, Old Madam Liang's death, QY's stupid confession that she killed Old Madam, 2nd Madam's death, and the social distancing ending.

I applauded when Emperor spit out the Anling poison pill, and when he grabbed the teacup with the poison, and drank it.

🤣🤣🤣 I saw your IG post. So funny! Most Kdramas and Cdramas I have watched over seventeen years, had stupid endings and stupid time jumps.

I was disappointed in that truth and consequence confession moment. Qiu Yan suddenly appeared, and told Old Madam, what she knew. The writer should have kept Old Madam out of the ludicrous conspiracy to delude the Emperor. She was the nicest parent in the drama.

I was thinking that LY looked more like Legolas with the long black hair, when you mentioned Faramir. I forgot that Faramir had red or blond hair, which was short. 🤣🤣🤣 I haven't watched LOTR in over a decade.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 They could have dropped Yuan Lang from the budget, and given Crown Prince facetime.

When they were young, Qiu Min wanted to be best sisters but Qiu Yan kept rejecting her. Eventually, jealousy developed, as her birth mother started to nuture Qiu Yan. I don't get why that happened...unless Mother remembered her own hardships as a child, and felt sorry for QY, who was treated like the black sheep. Qiu Min was introverted while QY was self-assertive, As usual, the loudest gets the attention.

I would have to skip YL scenes except when he is fired from the job. He was so annoying.in the drama. Karma owes him a visit.

Faramir was Boromir's brother? I loved the two actors. Sean Bean was my #1 ❤ back then.

The final scene is full of hope. At least, it did not end tragically. We have to grateful for small favors. I would have preferred some dialog between YL and QY, though. it reminds me of the wordless reunion ending between the ML and FL in Winter Sonata (K-drama) made twenty years ago.

LOL So true about the FL and 2FL! Even Mother Liang was a forward thinker... and QY's birth mother in the end, and Second Madam(Stepmother). I have a feeling that the scriptwriter is a woman.

Interesting point! If he had been searching for her for months, and they were living a few miles apart, they should have run into each other much earlier.
