Normally I hate amnesia plots in dramas, but honestly they did it so well here twice I don't mind it here. I love how both times (especially with ML), the amnesia is quickly resolved. It's not dragged for ages. And the scene of him getting his memories back and crying with FL was pretty emotional and really well acted by both. I really appreciate the show not dragging the amnesia with FL and ML.

Also, even when they had amnesia, it didn't make them helpless, especially FL. She didn't become an idiot or helpless with her amnesia, I appreciate that so much. Although I still don't like amnesia plots, for future dramas, this is how you execute an amnesia plot line that is actually watchable.

No problem 😊

I don't think they'll be angst for our leads for too long, judging from the previews in ep 32, he gets his memory back as him and FL sitting together peacefully in the ep 32 preview.

Judging from ep 32 preview, ML and FL are sitting together peacefully, so I think he regains his memory either in ep 31 or 32 latest.

Their love is rock solid throughout, so supportive and such a good relationship, so don't worry. though the betrayal by someone else is so heartbreaking.

No official announcement yet, but that is what everyone is hoping, plus iqiyi normally releases the last 6 eps on the last day of 2 episode releases, before the switch to 1 episode days to end the drama. So hopefully express Thursday

🙏✋

Same, still got a soft spot for her, though I don't know I did until this ep haha but looking forward to her revenge arc for sure

Hahaha that was a good as line, so true she's finally awake

I know a lot of people find princess annoying or hate her, I found her annoying as well, but when she found out her father and brother were dead and she was crying I want to go home, that made me feel bad for her. Maybe I'm just too sympathetic but her crying she wants to go home, I'm going home, really made me feel for her.

Looks like she becomes savage and ruthless now. She truly has that Feng blood running through her, she has that ruthlessness and decisiveness just like her father and brother. However, it was never brought out because of her sheltered up brining. Her father went through hell as child so his ruthlessness and savageness emerged. Same with ML, now it's princess's turn, time to prove she's a Feng.

It is quite interesting, he is the opposite of what you expect from an emperor now days in cdramas. He has no real harem/empress or at least we don't see them at all really, he dresses in plain loose fitting clothes no golden robes or anything, he seems like a weak old man. Yet he's got a very distinct vibe about him thats is unnerving and when you learn more you see he is very cunning and manipulative.

I agree, I don't know much about We Zetian, but would be interesting to see more empress dramas, at most now days you see an empress dowager as a side character or an empress who is just greedy. Very rare to see a good empress driven drama where she is solely in charge.

Yeh 100% whole other level, can't wait for season 3.

The emperor is Joy of life is so good, because most of the time he seems so weak and unprotected, yet there's something so dangerous under the surface about him and something about him that makes you nervous. You can tell he's manipulative and brilliant. Such a unique aura about him.

Week 2 air schedule posted in discussion section, same two episodes a day until the 19th.

It’s going up so slowly it’s crazy but hope it gets there

I really have no idea, with such a good drama, you would think they would want the heat to do well so weird

Hahaha lucky for her

iqiyi must be suppressing it but for what reason I have no idea

I don't blame you, such a depressing episode all around

Btw for those interested, @XiaoMeiren kindly uploaded the air schedule for the coming week, and FL's episode calendar has emoji's for ep 29-30 and 31-32, that give you a little hint of what's to come. For those worried about preview and what it means and how long amnesia will last, seems like by 31-32 we should be all good, so won't last long
