I’m sorry. These comments are frying WHAT DO YOU MEAN watch for the acting and not for the plot??? Are you people okay upstairs?? Please I implore you….no matter how much you love an actor or actress DO NOT fight yourself to sit through a show with terrible plot. This? Is terrible through and through. They don’t know what the writers didn’t know what to write so I guess they had ChatGPT do the work for them hence we go this slop.

Ya’ll keep supporting these absolute garbage excuse of a show that’s why these directors and writers won’t take a step back to improve their craft. Another thing too I notice it is always the dramas they’re putting on western platforms to ponder. We’re losing the plot and essence of what Chinese cinema should be; instead they’re making shows to meet quota and feed investments. Give it two years from now and we’re gonna lose all the unique factors of Chinese/Korean dramas that made us stayed up until 6:00 am to watch.

I'm only gonna say this once.....we really really need to keep the west away from Asian media. 90% if not more of these recent shows that goes through western fingers; and needed their sign off on it has been nothing but commercial base. The genre says it's suppose to be Comedy and Romance.....WHY THE ABSOLUTE FUK HAVE I NOT SWOON OR LAUGH ONCE??????????

The whole essence of "Kdrama" as we knew it is completely gone, jumbled or simply misplaced. This show had so much potential but the more i watch the more mess it became.

Western input/sign off to these new k-shows are exactly what AI is to the environment to put it simple. It's nothing but money grabs that keeps repeating itself. I'm tired, this is not the kdrama I grew up on.

I missed having to fight off ads telling me Suzy that's three miles away and wants to give me a bl0w-j0b....Now that watching Chinese/Korean has been increasingly accessibly outside of piracy the quality of the shows are now paying for it.

I don't think people understand that the whole reason why the world fell in love with Asian media in the first place is exactly because of his unique essence that Americanized shows just cannot convey.

We're losing the plot; we're losing the war against capitalism. BHADD. You can feel that the writers aren't in control here. instead of freely writing, it's obvious they're trying to force a hot show using identical route as previous shows. the thing is it feels more like they're taking pieces from several different shows of different genres and engulfing it into one.

this show was just a big commercial to put it in simple terms. this could've easily been the next "kill me, heal me" or "it's okay that's love" actually we didn't have to go the mental illness route either. This could've easily been a winter romcom...That's at least what the trailer was giving. I guess not!

You know nothing about me first of all. They marketed the show as if it was a fresh new concept with an absolute Female Monarch yet this is nothing like that. This is nothing but the same scheming and plotting we see in all other shows with everybody at eachother throat for favor or power only this time they’re trying to bring down women instead of men.

It hardly works here since the writing is just messy and they didn’t spend ample time to put more effort into the cases they set to be resolved. Furthermore this show is suppose to be about a female Monarch family of tea merchants right??? Right. That’s all I’m gonna be saying regarding that.

Marketing the show to be a fresh look but still having all the female/sisters being at eachother necks for men and power is literally the same thing we see in palace dramas with the concubines and consorts fighting for favor.

Ofc the show has other factors but since they’ve made this the main plot for the last 17 episodes that’s all I can see and focus on! That’s more than half of the show btw!!!

I’m trying….im really trying but everything about this show is so degrading. Not only for the male characters going at each others neck(we see this all the time with female characters anyway) but with the scheming sisters and how everyone is just abusing eachother including what the female lead keeps doing to the Male lead.

I thought this show would’ve brought a fresh new concept to historical dramas but once again it’s just airheads fighting to gain favor just in different fonts. I don’t know when the roles were reverse it most definitely wasn’t this bad and degrading. Atleast in those show the ML falls for the FL and treats her genuinely unlike in this where the FL is constantly leading on the ML and using him for her own gains….and this f00l is believing all her empty promises. Id!ot

I expected a woman empowering theme but this is far from it. The side stories and them being tea Merchant isn’t interesting enough to keep me intrigued either…..there’s 36 episodes and I’m two episodes short of being half way through the show and I’m gonna be honest…..I have not been watching for the plot; I have genuinely being watching to see how worst the writing gets from this. I just absolutely CANNOT believe Hou Ming and Gulnezer read the script and said “the ho’s finna love this”…..there’s just no way. Basically I’m saying that the story is an empty shell and all the schemes that were resolved/solved; the results were all very lackluster with hardly any real solutions provided. I don’t expect a show to be perfect but bro….i honestly don’t know if I’m watching a drama with big name or one of those “shorts” series I see on Instagram and facebook.

Somebody please tell me it gets better….please

Episode 15-16 were very underwhelming compared to all the other seasons and episodes of those seasons. I do not believe they gave us enough explanation for us to follow along with the case and figure out how exactly they got around to solving the problems that raised. They introduced several new characters without even an ounce of back story to them. Furthermore the reasoning behind why that general wanted to kill off those soldiers was nothing less of lackluster. It’s obvious he’s rotten to the core but for this very reason I think they should’ve given him a proper motive behind his evil deeds. Just like they spent ample time on all the other cases in this season I believe that the military case should’ve been extended the same courtesy; dare I say much more than the other cases too. We needed more insite on the military officer that was backing Kim do-ki as well as what happened after he and the perp fell into the water…. Everybody was badly injured so who saved him? They left way too many plot holes these two episodes. This was my only fault as all other cases were properly paced and detailed.

I genuinely do not know what to rate this drama. It wasn’t bad but at the same time it wasn’t good either it was really underwhelming. The first parts were good then the middle was meh and it peaked towards the end then after they killed all the greater demons I was like….okay let’s pack all this rubbish up!! Cause as soon as it started to peak it went right back down and then the show ended. And this is exactly why I refuse to rate a show base on how much I favor the leads… all in all I think the writers and directors couldn’t come to a decision on what they wanted the objective theme to be. Though a little bit clearer, this was the same problem viewers had with “Feud”

Unpopular popular opinion is the only reason ya'll think this season's case are snoozefest is because 98% of them are base on real life events. yes the first seasons were the same where cares were base on real events but this season? almost every case seen are normal day to day occurrences in Korea especially the fixing of games and the abuse of idols for sexwork. They don't need to have wow factors or necessarily show us the villains being punished. These episodes were meant to be sending a message, it all depends on how you're receiving it.

This mindset alone warrants the police to check your community and hard drive. Nobody said anything about her not deserving lead roles; they’re a variety of genre to choose from excluding romance that she can be the leading lady in none of which requires her to film romantic/adult scenes with a man almost twice her age. Romance isn’t even out of the question as long as it’s age appropriate and it’s with someone in her age group. The industry is preying on this young child’s innocence and you people are letting them when you support and defend such rubbish!!!. Would ya’ll be okay with your 17 year old family member kissing a 28 years old and possible older?

There wasn't much substance in the storytelling but this was stil a very fun watch. the story fell very flat but i think the comedy made up for majority of it.

I love this show down!!! literally rewatching for the third time and it's still 10s all across the board for me.

Just so we’re clear. Ya’ll should be boycotting all her upcoming projects with all these much older men… this is but a 17 year old child and they’re taking advantage of her under the guise of her being talented. She can play lead and support characters that are age appropriate it’s not very hard she’s been doing so since the beginning of her career. What’s waiting 4-5 more years until she’s in her early twenties? Her whole family needs to be investigated and so should all the people who keeps casting her to be paired with these men. I DO NOT care how talented she is. She has always been talented it isn’t new however she’s a child. Stop preying on her innocent mind!

I don’t care how good the shows will be in the future I WILL NOT be watching any of them. And yes I think I’m better than you cause I won’t watch a little girl being exploited by the perverted movie industry just because she needs support and she’s a great actress. SUE ME!

20 episodes out of 38 and it's just filler ep after filler ep. I trusted the comments saying it got better but chile I am not sitting to watch this shiiit any longer. hisses teeth. all of this could've been done in 7- 10 episodes. they wasting my damn time!

Instead of having that idiotic girl waste her time runnng behind a man that don't want her they should've make use of her and pair her with Xia Jing Yan. They would've made the perfect enemies to lovers and I think she would've been able to fix him and his tyrant ways.

unpopular opinion but nothing that happen in Susha after the princess left was Xia Jingshi fault. From the very beginning he made it abundantly clear he never wanted her and even when she kept curry favoring him he kept making his stands clear! She's blaming everybody but the guilty party which is herself! Nobody forced her to steal that token, nobody force her to put a knife to her neck and threatened her brother to let her escape. She did all these things on her own in hopes that Xia Jingshi would see it and fall for her and he never did. She does not deserve to go on a path of a so call revenge when she's only facing the consequences of her own actions! Xia Jingshi is most definitely a evil person and he does not deserve any pity at all; but her getting the eunuch murdered was too much.

NAURR!!!! I said the girl’s a dummy! The second prince would’ve been a much better choice all he would’ve needed is a trustworthy advisor to hound his skills. I’m positive he would’ve made a sage ruler

Suige wouldve made a fine ruler i don’t think he’s arrogant.i just think just like his mother he’s strong willed and refuse to be bind or controlled. I’m sure is father wasn’t like what we saw when he first marry, he later on became consumed by power and controlling and that’s why i think the late empress wanted the choice of being the crown prince and ascending to be totally Suige decision.she first handedly saw how power changed her husband I guess

They should’ve made the second brother to that. And have a trusted advisor with him since he’s not mature enough and easily swayed. I don’t know if later on he’s gonna change because of his mother and grandfather manipulation but as far as I’ve see he’s a good person through and through.

Maybe later she matures or whatever but she already became a traitor to her country because of a man she met once. A person like that shouldnt be anywhere near high power.

That’s rubbish. Here’s my thing here, she’s not being manipulated, she’s not being force, she has long seen that the price has no feelings for her and even if later on he somehow develop some for her it still isn’t worth hurting someone like her brother who would’ve gone to hell to keep her safe. She lowering herself and becoming a traitor to her own people just because she lacks love and touch is just really something…let’s not forget that her choice caused several to be injured and some even died. Like her own brother was almost shot down cause “Shi wah feel di cocky” of a man that would burn her to keep another warm. Just ridiculous

Hisses teeth! She not only betrayed her country as the state princess but she’s also a huge disappointment when you look at how she used her brothers love for her too escape and her fathers care and trust to steal his token. The girl is a full on weirdo and she does not need to be forgiven as she’d already cross too many boundaries that should never be cross. I would’ve understood if she was atleast being manipulated and the person whom she’s risking it all for deserved her effort or treated her well atleast ONCE but none of that happened. The girl’s an absolute dumba$$

Just let me know if they redeem any of the villains cause if they should’ve given anybody a chance it should be the marquis son and I’m saying this heavily. What he did was the worse kind of betrayal and I think he’s worse than evil but at the same time some part of me sees where he’s coming from. If my father choose to protect another kid instead of me then had to block me with his body from getting stabbed all while being left in the wilderness for what seems like days then to make matters worse damn near exile to the barracks I would’ve crashed out in some ways too. Everybody would’ve gotten it. But yeah just lemme know if they redeem any of the villains to force a happy ending

Look at the time these people choose to consummate.... the king is dying, the prime minister is plotting treason, the poor second son is being manipulated and these mf'er are in there fukxng...I done seen it all honestly
