Age gap? They should have chosen different actress or actor because they look the same age.

Sounds like a fun read.

this was really good, not light hearted, not dark, no romance, no real trauma drama - just fun fun fun. Lead did an excellent job.

The one thing I have not grasped yet, maybe I missed it.

WHY ARE THEY REBELLING?

The imagery of the tea plantation is beautiful 🤩

That's his character, self sacrificing for the good of other people. Who are worthy of his sacrifice.

I love the story telling. It's not instant resolution. Especially their love story. It's a realistic emotional graduation of feelings.

Lol 😅 he is. So uncooth... He is the cousin you can't take out in public 😂

Gu Pigwen getting his flirt on in front of his soon to be FIL is hilarious 😂. There is someone for everyone 😂

then they killed me with the splash of water and broken tea cup.... Took me all the way out. Eyes swollen like water balloons

just finished rewatching. tons of holes - but really good. the cast is what made this good.

What doesn't seem right about it?
A person can fall in love instantly.
Others fall in love during hardships.
There is Stockholm syndrome, where victims have feelings for the ones who mistreated them.
Emotional ties can grow from anything good or bad.

FL fell in love with ML the moment she saw him on the horse

Anyway we need her to fall in love with anyone else but Gu 😂

NOT bad - but not really interesting TO ME

The Zhen bird - I missed the whole point of that.

Anyone care to explain?

Ep8

The Eunuch and I are of the same mind. Those rodents are scary. I'll be having nightmares and seeing things run across the floor for the next few days.

I wish there was a rodent filter for tv 😔😕

No controlling the king and becoming the king are 2 different things. This is common in these dramas. It's easy to control the court first with money. After controlling the court you can control the king with the court.

But one must kill the current king to become a king. That is frowned upon by the people and the court.

ML slipped into an annoying abyss. His recharacterization of the FL is awful. She was never a whiney, cutesy character. Him shimmying and whining is cute but not relevant to the female character.

I'm surprised production let this pass.

However the FL is killing the ML but I really don't remember how his character acted.

Was anyone else lost on the bird man's son? I feel like I have to go back and watch the previous episode.

Yes, I love to see fresh faces.

Ending yemei is going to treat the general, shell marry him and ML can marry the Grasslands Princess / Merchants daughter?

Was anyone else relieved to see his mother still alive and well.

I was so scared they would be dead or disabled.
. I'm so glad there was a bit of joy to this outcome.

Oh how I cried!

When she called him her firstborn.
