Ep 10 was so beautiful!!! The filmography, the background score and the pacing, it was just beautiful. First I fell in love with the characters, then the plot intrigued me and now the filmography and the music. Everything comes together so well !!!
I am really enjoying the show. Both the main leads have done an incredible job with their characters, it's like these characters were meant for Cheng lei and Bai lu. All the complexities of the characters are so well acted by both of them. I've always followed Bai lu's work, and recently came across Cheng lei, I must compliment him for his looks and acting skills.
I am at ep 5, and slow pace is bothering me. Does the story pick up some pace in upcoming episodes or will remain the same? Please someone spoil it for me.
The dragon represents the emperor. Phoenix being paramount and defeating the dragon means treason, I guess. Afaik,…
I get what they meant, but it still doesn't make senseâfireworks can be anything you want them to be, so they don't truly signify anything meaningful, unlike something celestial.
I guess there is no point in dwelling into details.
One thing that made no sense to me is that how do fireworksâwhose designs and displays can be tweaked however you wantâend up signaling some kind of bad omen or good luck?
My heart goes out for all those wronged women. I love how Pei Yi said her piece to the emperor, it was refreshing.…
I was relieved that Pei Yi had the courage to lay the truth before the emperor. But knowing how shameless he is, he likely wouldnât have understood the slightest.
1. Throughout the drama some of the episodes had oddly cut scenes to minimize it to 34 episodes total;2. The main…
The last two episodes were a real letdown, especially after such a strong buildup.
The Right Chancellorâs sudden emotional outburst felt completely out of character. He had always been calm, calculating, and strategic, so seeing him act irrational and demand to see the Emperor because he felt âwrongedâ weakened his role as the main villain. It felt less like a brilliant downfall and more like a forced plot device.
The Crown Princeâs sudden move to execute the Cui clan was equally frustrating. There was no real backstory or buildup to justify his hostility, making the conflict feel abrupt and unearned.
Finally, the main leadsâ reconciliation felt rushed. After everything they went through, their resolution deserved more depth and emotional weight instead of such a quick wrap-up.
I finally finished this drama, and while it wasnât perfect, it was definitely a good watch.
Both Bai Lu and Wang Xingyue did a fantastic job bringing their characters to life. Their performances really carried the emotional weight of the story and made the journey engaging from start to finish.
The storyline did feel a bit uneven at times â you could tell that several scenes were likely cut to reduce the episode count. Even so, the individual cases were handled well, and thankfully, they didnât lose the core meaning or impact of each case.
Lately, Iâve felt that many dramas rush their endings, leaving things incomplete or unsatisfying. Maybe my expectations are too high â or maybe not. But this drama actually delivered a solid conclusion. It wrapped up each characterâs arc clearly and brought everyone to a proper close at least.
Overall, I had a great time watching it and enjoyed the discussions along the way. That, in itself, made the experience even better.
I keep getting fascinated by her more and more in every drama she acts. She chooses every work so carefully and owns every character she plays. Her work in all her dramas is commendable. She a natural actress. I've watched almost all her dramas and I really appreciate her.

And her younger sister is actually very dumb, I don't know if it is funny or annoying.
