I am enjoying the show overall but I think it really suffers from keeping the actual villains identity hidden for such a long time
It’s hard to keep a big interest when you keep hearing Benefactor this and Benefactor that. Then you end up having a reveal that will ultimately fall flat because there just isn’t even screen time to actually flesh out the character, be it motivations or characteristics.
I don’t know, I just feel like every time a novel or show does something like this instead of just having an established villain from the start it ends up being significantly worse
I am really struggling with this show, it was fantastic until the war stopped. I am on episode 19 and everything political has been a massive drag and seems.. just kind of bad?
I cannot express how stupid the end of 18 looked with the king crying and riding his horse like an upset kid and getting hurt like that
I like how in the 20 episodes I’ve watched almost all of the problems could have been avoided if the MLs father just communicated with his son and actually told him about his past and life or like I dunno left a journal telling him the truth
He instead was like “idk son swing a sword around and I’m not gonna educate ya or teach you nothin, but please stay on this mountain alone forever and watch my tomb okay?”
This show ended up being the epitome of mediocre to me by the end which is disappointing
They put all the important story parts in the very last episodes and then didn’t actual show how several important things were resolved or what conclusions were. Just many things went unexplained or not talked about
If you just want something mindless that’s easy to watch then it’s pretty worth it, but don’t look for something very impressive
Bro I just finished Wonderland of Love before this and I thought I was done with the psycho and obsessive guys like the Young Master and then enter The Marques.. and I’m right back so far
The Young Master being a villain is just.. really bad and I think it is one of the only things that lowers the rating of the show for me
They should have just went full in with Sun and written more for that full on
Every time the Young Master was on screen lying to the FL and scheming against the ML I was cringing with how bad it all was and how little sense it made. The guy had no business even surviving at that point to begin with
I can barely get through episode 1 because I pause it to admire it
It’s just an rpg staple
This man entered the show like some cool anime villain and turned into a sad sack of comedy relief punching bag material ever since lol
However, I have to watch just for Xing Fei regardless

Your daughter gets I hurt and is having a terrible time? Better make her feel worse and basically ignore her
Then force her younger sister off something she loves to take her place instead and say she has more talent than she did.
Yikes bro
that’s a rough one buddy, I hope you survive 🤣

I am not sure I have seen a more incompetent or stupid emperor than this man. His scenes are truly difficult to watch
I can’t even imagine having to listen someone this stupid on a daily basis

His entire character just sucked
The writing at the end is truly something else and peak bad. I am glad I wasted my time
they really said let’s air 7 episodes and then put a Two week delay for 3 episodes.
This is just really annoying to even do it this way
if anyone is on the fence just don’t do it, the beginning ropes you in and it just goes downhill
They never explain how the gimmic works of what the guy does. It was nonsensical writing
