I'm only at Ep 10 and sadly not feeling it so far. Will it improve because I had such high hopes! But atm Xu Kai…
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.
the chemistry is great but the production is cheap?

Just finished ep 10 and I must say after watching hundreds of historical cdramas, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen…
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
Because ML request for an Emperor decree to marry her, without asking her/her parents (forcibly from her opinion)
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
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!
Should I give it a try? I feel like dropping it before i even start watching cuz of rating 😭
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.
Forced myself to watch it at first bcz of low rating and also bcz they both are my favourite actors, 1st few ep…
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
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!
In the Song of the Moon she played a naive character easily fooled by the villain
