Just finished and can I just say Tian Jia Rui is the MVP in this drama. This is my first drama of him and I am impressed. Bro nailed all his personas (I can’t even count how many of them are there lol).
I feel like 12 episodes are not enough for the drama to have a good backbone. The politics are lacking. I can’t even understand Jinmu’s motives. It was a fun watch but nothing stellar.
Still in episode 3 but I wouldn’t say I’m attached to the story. It’s a good and lighthearted plot but their struggle is not relatable. IU’s character is overbearing and painting her as a “commoner” rubs me off in the wrong way.
Is anyone else felt 2nd last episode messy or is it only me
It was definitely anticlimactic. It made me chuckle coz the main agenda was quelling the rebellion but the uncle-nephew feud took the spotlight. And Qimin’s death was kinda pathetic imo. That was his redemption arc for sure but I just wished he had more scenes of him usurping the throne. It just felt like he had this grand scheme and then it fell flat.
The late king was obviously the villain here but it would’ve been nice if they established this in earlier episodes rather than info-bombing us.
I’m watching this on Netflix so I’m still on episode 37. One thing I gotta say though is that all the Qi men are cuckoos. Idk why and how they became the rulers of the kingdom.
I haven't read everything. And since chapter 109, I've seen many events being different, but in essence, it's…
So is WY technically not the “bad” guy? He’s just trying to put things in balance? That’s interesting coz I never really understood his position in all this. His stance is very ambiguous.
Correct me if I’m wrong. I’m just trying to make sense of the imperial family tree and the entire fiasco they are in.
So Prince Chengde and Prince Chengxin, are they siblings? If so, then does that mean that the Sui bros are technically cousins with Qi Min? How about this current emperor? Whose bloodline is he from? I know that he’s also a Qi but I really don’t know.
Also, if Wei Qilin is Changyu’s dad, and Xie Zheng is a Wei from his mom’s side, does that make them related at all?
And last question, why the heck do those two chancellors have more power over the emperor? What were their roles during that Jizhou tragedy? Any spoilers from the book readers are entirely welcome.
