she was raised in the palace

LXY micro expressions are so spot on...

it's basically about how women survived in a feudal society, but the production is very good. It's aired in CCTV, so it is of very high quality

I also felt that iQiyi is not doing justice to the leads. The make-up, lighting and camera are making them look garish. The editing is all over the place, and supporting characters are so one dimensional. Similar to how they ruin the leads in "Overdo" And yes, the background music is not helping.

He reminded me of Han Yang's (Chen Du Ling) father in the Glory. That guy is the scariest gas-lighting master... and he looks like a nice guy for the most part of the drama

There's a YouTube channel that kind of explain some of the scenes, I'm not sure of the source, probably from the novel.... but it explains a lot of the reasons why certain character does certain things, including some of the earlier scenes...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6JR2hxeY58

Maybe it was on purpose... there may be a replay later... perhaps from memory...

That means the actress portrayed the villainous character well...
In the Song of the Moon she played a naive character easily fooled by the villain

Mr Han is Lan Xiang's neighbor. She was drugged and sold to a brothel by some jealous lady.

Because ML request for an Emperor decree to marry her, without asking her/her parents (forcibly from her opinion)

This is such a gem! It really show the complexity of human relationship. No one is truly black. Even the most despised character has some redeeming traits. This is likely Vin Zhang best acted character. His micro expressions on ep 26 when Huang Ya came to him was so natural. Dai Xu is amazing as well, he did very well here, hope he has more interesting roles like this. Actually all the actors did very well. Kudos to everyone!

I don't think it is a sad ending, too. That's why he said in his letter, this time you wait for me.

Yes, beautiful wardrobe

Ep 32 is marvelous

It depends on what type of drama you like. If you are looking for fluffy drama, this is not it. The cinematography has a theatrical feel to it. At times I feel like I'm watching a stage theater, and not a drama. It's probably intentional.

In most Republican era drama, the over-reaching message is: Sacrificing for the country and the nation is the honorable thing, it is more important than family

He was a cold looking (but kind-hearted) ML in "I hear you", in a modern setting.

He actually has some resemblance to Xiao Wu Yi's adult look.

Thanks a lot for pointing out the mistakes in the English version of the relationship chart. I noticed that the misleading chart had been deleted. To avoid confusing other people, I opt to delete my earlier comments, too. Have a nice day!
