Someone pls help, is this drama really good or is it highly rated because of the actress? I’m thinking about giving it a try but lately Chinese dramas has been a let down.
This drama is one of the highest rated shows for a reason. After so long I still cannot find something that makes me as excited for the weekend as this show did.
you haven’t seen a lot of Qing dynasty dramas then. Chinese palace dramas are miles ahead of Korea.
The reason why I like this version of the Qing dynasty better because they didn’t try to romanticize the Manchu during that time like most Chinese drama. They were barbarians and behaved like it.
Janghyun is not a prince. In his childhood flashbacks he wears a noble boy's clothes not a prince's clothes. He's…
Oh good catch on the noble boy clothes instead of royal’s. I’m just saying it would be cool if that was the twist because in history the Joseon King “killed” the crown prince when he returned and put his brother to the throne instead. Jang Hyun is way more competent than the crown prince. King Hyojong (who succeeded the throne) was known as a brilliant and brave ruler who dedicated his life to serving his nation. I feel like that fits Jang Hyun perfectly.
So I read that during the Qing invasion the crown prince of Joseon along with his younger brother were taken as hostages, but they came back to Joseon after a few years. One of the two later became the King Hyojong. How cool if Jang Hyun’s real identity is the other prince.
I just love XY and XC’s relationship so much! There was a scene where XY was talking Nian out of falling for…
You said everything I felt through out the drama. If there is anyone that deserved an end game with XY it has to be CX. All the MLs are willing to die for her but CX fought to stay alive so he can continue to protect her. He took on the whole world just so she can be safe and at peace.
I think he's quite an interesting character. At least he has something he wants to achieve. I don't think there's…
Why couldn’t they spare him? From the beginning of the drama until the end he experienced nothing but tragedy and loneliness. I’m scared for season 2. The moment he ascended to the throne I knew he had lost her forever. Wahhh😭
