Thanks for your detailed answer, this behind the scenes stuff is so fascinating. And stressful, I could never work in this industry in China! There are so many hurdles to see your work on tv.

Can censorship approval be revoked? Why the immediate rush to start airing the show?

Vice minister Cui is supposed to be smart. He should know Bu Shu Lin would be in trouble if everyone found out she wasn‘t the *male* heir. What is his exit plan here?

And did she send him their version of a porn magazine by accident??

At this point, I am only here for the second couple. First couple is too scary-smart.

So, ML is a foster son& heir to the throne, FL is adopted? At least that removes the incest vibes with Mo Li.
And the first wife has a murdered first love but kinda cares for her BIL, too. Who is getting nerfed by his entire family due to ableism. At least ML got the hint and tried to make up for his past mistake with the stirrups.

Exactly!

His wife accused him of fathering Li Mao, so definitely half brother. Which makes their romance awkward and it makes sense he would rather marry her off to the general.

MLs harem situation is giving me a headache. So he has a maid but she is his doctor. And he has a wife but she is low-key in love with his older brother. He has a son who may or rather may NOT be his biological child. He kinda adopted a bunch of dancers and pretends they are his concubines. And now he is married to FL but she is in love with her half-brother?

Who am I supposed to be rooting for? He called a hitman on his wife (by accident??). His wife refuses to divorce him out of ugly pettiness.
They are both toxic, he is just presenting a pretty front- and to think the 2 young women knew they‘d have to walk on eggshells around him because of his ~mood.

He is pretty but I would not like to see anyone married to him.
She is up there on the crazy-hot scale, better be off single.

His nephew, wasn’t it? The kid of his SIL?
They got amazing child actors for sure!

Way too young for sure. May he have better luck in his next life.

Sounds like they actually toned him down for the series then 😂

Wait, Wayu has been a 24 year old virgin and within 4 days of loosing his cherry he introduces cat play and rides Krit like a cowboy? I mean, go get it, tiger, I guess.

I can appreciate the linguistics behind one word meaning *daddy* in Bangkok slang and *boss* in Chiang Rai. Trust Sila, who walks in both city and countryside, to get a kick out of that!

BUT!! Good lord, Sila, what are those hours you are forcing on your workers?! At first I thought he was just messing with Saithorn but he would quickly find out the others are not slaving 7/12 on the farm?

I was trying to map out their family tree but it makes no sense. Maybe the translations are off? Or the grandma gets called grandma simply because she is the oldest woman around? Kinda like older women get called auntie without actually being an aunt.

He knows his little bro is (or was, as little boy) infatuated with her. Also, he did her a favor, considering her in-laws would have been vile to her.

ML 29, FL 26 if their MDL profile can be trusted

No, at least none has shown up for the first 4 episodes.

You literally told me to watch PA… what for if not to compare???

Besides, stating my opinion is not rage baiting. Don’t take every review so personal- you are not the focus and aim of every single post around here. Chill!

I did watch PA when it came out- Zhao Liying was 30 in 2017. Don‘t do the FL a disservice by comparing their acting chops.
