Why? Narrative economy means that you have a more compact plot that it is easier to follow.

No ... Chinese are Chinese to me. lol
I'm referring to the equivalent western titles because I don't know how these titles are called in Chinese. But they are probably similar. I don't know if Ancient Chinese had such a title but I find it a bit impossible to have one.

The Emperor could have given her a title upon her coming of age but it is rather impossible that she was awarded with a title equivalent with that of the sons of the Emperor because she wasn't his daughter but his niece by marriage. If he divorced his wife she wouldn't be anymore his niece.

She wasn't the daughter of the Emperor's brother to be related to him by blood. She was the daughter of the Emperor's brother in law. The Emperor's wife's niece. She had no blood connection with him at all. She was from another completely different family.

The title of the prince or a princess is a title that is inherited to the heirs of a throne and it is not awarded for the same reasons. That is the reason why I doubt that the Emperor would have had in the first place the right to make her a princess of an equal rank to his sons as this would have meant that she would have made her heiress to the throne though she wasn't of royal blood and she was a woman too.

Thank you for the suggestion but this drama was enough for me. I avoid C dramas because they have way too many episodes and I don't have the energy or the time to watch them carefully and follow the plot for so many episodes.
Chinese make great dramas and have very competent writers but they lack all sense of narrative economy...! lol

The original title makes sense.

There is no equivalent title because her father didn't have the tittle of a king or a prince. He father and her aunt were related to the emperor by marriage and not by blood.

Her father though was a duke in his own right. So she was a Lady by blood but not a princess.

The English equivalent it would be Lady A' Wu. The tittle and her given name.
The women that inherit a tittle from their father put the tittle before their given name.
Those who get a tittle by marriage put the tittle before their husbands family name.

And same applies to the princesses. Kate MIddleton when she is not addressed with her family name is called Lady Windsor. ( wife of William Windsor who is a Duke) and Duchess of Cambridge ( as a tittle of honor because they got this tittle when they got married). He is a prince by blood and he can inherit the tittle to his children but she can't claim the tittle of the princess.

Yes .

Yeap... In my country we are on the third doses and young people die like flies. But nobody is mentioning this on the media because the media were paid with 80 millions by the government.

They conspire to cover up the deaths caused by the other "thing" too btw. The thing that some were forced to take in multiple doses like they are junkies or something.
Also if it comes out that she died from suicide then we are all accomplices to her death by the time that we all keep up watching and supporting with our views this sort of entertainment industry.
Saying RIP doesn't make any justice to those who took their own lives because they were exploited by the S. Korean entertainment industry.
It needs other measures as for example to boycott S.Korean dramas.

It depends what the term "suicide " means in such cases! Technically if you do "willingly" something dangerous , you commit an act of "suicide". No one forced with physical violence anyone to do anything after all. But violence on the other hand has many different forms.

The notorious one! lol

I have them in a list and I can post it here.
55 athletes most under 30 years old.

We call it suddenly- nitis in my country. 300 people mostly under thirty years old have died the last two weeks in my country. Some were found on their beds dead from heart attacks that happened during their sleep. Others died suddenly ( and that is where the name comes from ) where they were sitting. If I write here what was the reason that was official recorded at the postmortem results I bet that the moderation will delete my post.

The last episode left a lot of plotholes. It didn't explain the reasons why Kim Hyo Kyung wanted to imitate the methods of Chimera and connect the old case with the new murders and on top of that "warn" this way those who were involved with the old case about their imminent assassination.
She had no reason to do that. If she wanted to kill them as a revenge for the death of her father ( who she never met) and the death of her mother ( that she never met either, she just read what happened to them) she could have done it with any other method and kill those who caused their death one by one without raise any suspicions.
Not to mention that her motives were not strong enough because as I said previously she never met neither her father, nor her mother and it was not only difficult to know what exactly happened in order to have such strong feelings against those who were responsible, but also no way to figure out the methods of Chimera and imitate them and set up all that thing. Not even the police knew enough details about the old Chimear's methods.

If the concept was to take revenge she could have done it easier with other methods. To setup these murders as suicides, or accidents or whatever was more convenient in order not to raise any suspicions and avoid any connection with the old case.

I don't really understand why she got in the trouble to become the Chimera no 2. Why she chose the hard way and not the easy way?

Her brother on the other hand had stronger motives to kill them all because he was old enough to remember what happened and he was in the police station along with his father when the later was detained and killed. Someone would expect that the person who had experienced that situation would seek revenge not someone who wasn't even born at that time.
Anyway..
8,5 instead of the 10 that initially gave, because the motives of the culprit and the method didn't actually made that much sense. The finale was a huge disappointment for me.

It seems that Democracy is still active in S. Korea as petitions for cancellation get ignored.
If it wasn't then they would have cancelled this drama, and that would have been what a Dictatorship would have done in this case.
Dictatorships are those who listen only to one voice not Democracies.

The best action for these victims would have been to downvote this drama on the reviews instead of petition to cancel it before it is completed.

That is how it goes. You first listen ( or don't listen ) to what someone has to say and if you disagree or you feel offended you can "cancel" him with your review, or by turning your back to what he says which in the case of dramas equals to low viewership.

Yeah sure... there is no crime in the UK/Australia/N.Zealand ....socialistic paradise!! lol

Because I want to listen first to what the so called "offender" has to say, allow him to complete what he has to say and then judge, FOR and BY myself, about who is right and who is wrong.

It is all about retaining the fundamental right to be able to listen to all of the different opinions and to be able to see all the different points of view, and that is the reason why I don't want them to be silenced by those who disagree with them.

That is what Democracy is all about. Freedom of speech, freedom of ideas, freedom to support your opinion even if that is not popular, or right .
And there isn't a middle ground on this. You either have this right or not. You can't have it whenever you like or it is more convenient for you.

He is because other actors who speak fluently and without any Korean accent have lived and studied abroad . He hasn't. It is very hard to speak clear and BBC standard English - lol as they called them, the English that broadcasters speak- if you don't use them at least for a while as your speaking language. He might use them when he travels abroad but acting in a foreign for you language is a whole different thing.
I'm saying that from my own experience too, as English is not my native language either but I lived for a while in UK. While I was there it was very hard even for native speakers to detect where I was from. Now that I'm living in my country I find it hard to speak so fluently and so clearly English because I don't use it as my main language. Now it is easier for me to write in English. I can communicate but I need a bit of time to bring the whole thing together and make my mouth follow my thoughts... lol

Yes but now he sounds fluent too. He is the only S.Korean actor who doesn't speak English with a Korean accent. He has probably work a lot on how to pronounce English without any kind of accent and this is something he wouldn't be able to achieve without a speech teacher. So he has probably hired someone to teach him how to speak in English particularly for acting. Good for him. He should get cast to an international production.

Yes you went with it because you wanted to, but half of the supposedly thriller scenes were cancelled by the wrong way that they were depicted. The guy who started screaming while he was vomiting haha ha ha water for three minutes straight made me lmao and then I couldn't take seriously this show.
As you see I'm trying not to spoil the show for those who want to watch it, but my opinion is that it was completely stupid and the good cast couldn't save it.
When the plot is crap there is no salvation no matter how hard they try.

I have the impression that the ratings are manipulated by bots as some of the worst shows that have the worst reviews and and have been dropped by their viewers have super high ratings.
