But who would let her become empress if she was just a concubine. And you said she didn't killed the masses, but she did indirectly. Based on your comment and your reply to me, I'm a little confused to what you are trying to get at. I guess I really don't know where this conversation is heading 🤣

I agree. I wanted a cry fest. 🤣 I wanted Ye Li character and Prince Li to share a moment of lost childhood. I thought it wasn't portrayed well enough, because I still think depite her dissapointment and hate in Prince Li, Ye Li never truly understood him and I thought that was a missed opportunity to elevate the relationships in Jasmine. Even for MXY, for him too, they missed the opportunity to reconcile his own feelings about fighting for an emperor that caused the death of his family. The way it was portrayed was not believeable enough.

She may not have direcy ordered killings, her benefiting from the dirty work of others and glossing over thier methods to put her in power is nonetheless a sin. She knew and manipulated others greed and love to her benefit.

wow the way they portrayed Ye Li's disassociation in ep 39 was so beautiful.

What pple are mad at MYX? I think MYX actions and feelings were valid to the series of events. He has every right to be sad and mad at Ye Li, and at the same time regret his behavior towards her. It's very human of him which I think makes him extremely believable as a character.

I agree! 🥹

I feel like if he had been her childhood friend then I would have believed it much more.

I know this part. I was just confused on how she got so sick before her murder.

I think this is one of the most lackluster plot holes in the drama.

🤣🤣🤣 and this whole time I thought she was poisoned 🤣

Imo, She took th edict, in part to help the Empress, and her dad. What she didn't count on was being betrayed when MXW was sentenced to death. She tried to rectify the wrong but Ye Li father took it from her and she was poisoned by someone (I still don't know how she got poisoned 🤣 plot hole right there).

Lmao ... actually in many parts of China the kitchen belongs to the men. 🤣 So the roles in Fireworks has nothing to do with gender roles and everything to do with class differences.

Hi, my brother once dated a crazy rich Chinese girl, she doesn't know how to do chores. And like Yifei, super down to earth, you wouldn't know she comes from money. It's normal to them.

I don’t find Jasmine overly dramatic—it’s actually one of the quietest dramas I’ve seen in a while. Overly dramatic shows usually come with incredibly loud OSTs, flashy editing, over-the-top cliffhangers, and exaggerated line delivery, all of which Jasmine doesn’t have.

Ah yes, because apparently every slice-of-life drama now needs villains written like they came straight out of a revenge thriller. Excuse my ignorance.

I’ll probably never watch Legend of Zang Hai—it’s not my favorite genre. Moli isn’t even in the same genre, so it’s going to attract a different crowd. Makjang refers to dramas that are overly dramatic, which Moli is not. If anything, the over-the-top dramatics of Legend of Zang Hai are more in line with makjang. So I don’t know what you’re watching.

Consort Qin comes from a very influential noble family. She just found out the Empress Dowager had been manipulating her to give her support...what the Empress didn't expect was for the XianKun to fall in love with Consort Qin. So the Empress used the usurp to get rid of XianKun, but XianKun was smart enough to make sure the Consrt had a backup plan.

His also another prince from the East Palace. His family followed the crown prince but right now we don't know if he's acting on his own or on the Prince Li's orders. He is also the 3ML,Mingxi's older brother. 🤭

What are you yapping about? 🤣 Wuxia is one of the greatest literary and cinematic inventions ever—something uniquely born from Chinese culture and history. Without wuxia, there’d be no gun fu, and without that, you wouldn’t get films like The Matrix or Equilibrium.

You know idol actors can practice martial arts too right? Nick Tse was an idol actor, and even though he's not a traditional martial artist like Wu Jing or Jet Li, he practices martial arts. Jackie Chan said in a interview that Nick use to come to his gym and train hard, that's why Jackie supported Nick though his career.
