I agree with you. I really wish he would stop falling for her triggering words. And yes, the only good thing Li Boze said was to stop dragging him into her business.

I thought we were supposed to have a smart FL character. Thus far, I haven't seen much brain activity coming from her. She lets her emotions rule everything she does and appears completely oblivious to the political climate they are in. The way she disrespects the emperor is on a whole new level that I don't find funny. I'm fine with some banter and some back and forth, but she goes beyond that to complete disrespect. I really hope there is some character growth for her.

Man, Li Boze is really working hard to become the most irritating character in cdramaland. The things that come out of his mouth. He thinks of himself as this great savior, but what has he really done? He makes it sound like Qingyi just went away on a vacation for seven years, not actively fighting battles. Get out of here with your foolishness! Then we have Ren Susu just being her lying and manipulative self. I was rather amused at the end of the episode when Qingyi commandeered her place. This is going to get fun, fam! 🍿

It was like 2 or 3. I remember the moment, but not necessarily which episode it was. Sorry!

I have to agree about the rating here. This show is not perfect; that is for sure. But a 6.9? Get out of here with that foolishness. Does this show send me into a rage on a regular basis? Yes. Am I loving it daily? Also, yes. I agree that this is a solid 8 if not a bit higher. I will continue to enjoy and hope others will disregard the rating and see if they like it for themselves.

I personally can't wait for episode 27. I think we are going to need a vat of popcorn for that show and all the tea that Qingyi is going to serve. 🍵

Li Boze is a special level of dim and oblivious. He deserved that punch.

In the preview, when she says he isn't good enough to be the father, I'm like, girl, have you looked in the mirror lately? We finally saw his comeback, which made me snort. I think episode 27 is going to be FUN!

Yep, this is his master plan to keep them apart. However, Qingyi clearly has other plans.

I swear in one scene his mask slipped and part of the tattoo was visible. He moved lighting fast to cover it.

The rating for this show is meaningless since there have been people review bombing and elevating the entire time. I don't know why people are so dependent upon a manufactured number to indicate whether they should watch a drama. You should be able to start watching it and see if it is for you. For me, this drama is entertaining, and I enjoy it a lot. I know it is not what a lot of people like, but I really have days where I want to watch messy melodrama filled with slaps and gunplay. 😂

I'm seriously on the fence with Li Boze. He seems like the dimmest, slowest person, but I think I am leaning more towards the idea that he has some sort of sinister plan. Otherwise, wow, that boy is DIM.

Me too! I'm glad I'm not alone. 😅

Yeah, I'm not sure if they are baiting us with these previews and it will pan out differently, or if I'm just going to be in a state of rage next week when we get more episodes. 😆

If you like Republican-era dramas or melodrama, I would recommend it. I personally think the rating is low here, and I'm enjoying it.

I think this is taking place during the mid-to-late 1930s. It is more than likely the Japanese they are fighting. I am also watching another Republican-era drama right now, Silent Tides (https://mydramalist.com/777175-once-upon-a-time-in-macao), and it is predominantly about WWII and how the Japanese took over Hong Kong and Macau. It is so good and very interesting from an historical perspective. I would recommend it if you are interested in learning more about that time period.

I'm def going to rewatch once it is done. I have a feeling I will feel a bit differently about some things when I get to binge vs. being slowly tortured each day. 🤭

They need to drag out the trauma they will be inflicting on us all... 😂😂😂

The mental gymnastics happening here to give a pass for keeping a child from one of their parents is wild.

This is what is getting to me right now. I really feel for this kid. There is also something she says to Qingyi in the episode 26 trailer that sent me (about why she was keeping the son away from him). 😡
