My guess about why Li Peiyi's whole family was massacred 🤔
Prince Duan, Peiyi's father was a general/commander in the army, right?? They mentioned he "lost his mind' because of repeated defeats in the battles and subsequent trauma. My experience after watching many many C-Dramas tells me PERHAPS there was something fishy going on with the military equipment or the food supplies. 🧐Maybe some high official in the Ministry of War embezzled the money, leading to poor quality in the weapons and thus many soldiers dying on the battlefield. ☠️Somehow, the Prince found out and before he managed to report to the Emperor, they set him up and the whole thing was pinned on the Prince's "madness". 🙄Now that the Princess is digging deep into the matter, they're trying to take her out too. Just a guess though, nothing more!!🤷
How is this drama still standing at 8.1 when it absolutely deserves AT LEAST 8.5?!?!? 😱 I mean, everything is actually SO perfect 🤌, it totally exceeded my expectations. ✨When I decided to watch, it was only because the trailer looked spooky, I really liked the ML in "The Double" and "The Wanted Detective" and I also generally appreciate the FL's acting. But going into it, I was 100% intrigued and impressed by the quality of everything, from the main story and the various murder cases, to the main leads, the side characters, the very popular cameos, the stunning visuals & the cinematography, the costumes, the fighting sequences and the captivating music. 👏🔥I can't even skip the opening credits because they're so freaking cool!!!🤟
Plus, the slow burn romance??? 🥰TOP TIER. 🤌Sizzling chemistry!!!🔥 I love how our brave Princess and our clever Astronomer keep flirting and openly showing how much they admire each other while effectively working together on all the cases. 😎
It's a drama that is constantly keeping you on your toes. 🤯It's just SO good. ✨I wish more people saw that...😞
To say I am FURIOUS and DISGUSTED is an UNDERSTATEMENT!!! 🤮🤬
That MONSTER, the Empress Dowager basically put Zhang San/The Emperor in a vulnerable position and he was R***D. 😰And YES. Men DO get s****** abused too. I wanted to scream so loud, it was so nauseating to watch. 🤢I always wondered how he willingly slept with any woman from the harem since we didn't hear a thing about the Crown Prince's mother. I guess it was a maid or sth, guided by that piece of garbage, the Empress Dowager. 🤬Zhang San was mentally, physically (and s******* ) abused for so long, it makes my heart ache for his pain and loneliness. 😭That's why he loves and adores Wan Yin so much. 🥺💔She's literally his last and only ray of hope, his only source of warmth and affection. 🥹I can't wait to see their love flourish in the future episodes 🥺🌹❤️ They both deserve their happy ending 🙏✨
Can I just say that my favorite character is Dae Chu, ML's personal guard?? 🥰Lee Seung Woo is such a wonderful actor and I really want to see him as a protagonist soon. 🙏He's very charismatic and a joy to watch ❤️✨If anyone wants to watch him in a central role, see "Seoul Busters" aka one of the BEST K-Dramas ever 🔥 You definitely won't regret watching it , the cast and the story are TOP 😎
I binge-watched the first six episodes and I'M IN LOVE ✨🥰❤️✨
I love the story and of course our beautiful main couple!!! 😇💕The chemistry is INSANE. ⚡I love that they communicate so well and spend so much time together. 🤌It's a precious thing when that happens in C-dramas 🥹
My only problem is with Xiahou Bo's actor. 🙄He lacks the charisma for his role. The acting is too blant, the only scenes I couldn't care less about are his. 😴I don't skip them cause I don't want to miss anything from the plot but it's a struggle to watch them. ☠️At least, everything else in the drama makes up for his part.
I HAVE to mention how beautiful the costumes and the hairstyles are here. 😍✨BIG KUDOS to the stylist, they deserve an award for sure!!! 👏
PS1: Does Cheng Lei sing in the OST or am I tripping??👀🎶
PS2: A question about the Crown Prince. Is he the Emperor's biological son?? 🤔
Literally EVERYTHING is perfect about this drama except for the FL. 😕
First of all, in terms of character, she's insufferable with her constant arrogant behavior and the smug smile. 😤Second, the acting is horrible. 🤢I can't stand the way she speaks and I'm doing everything I can not to FW her scenes bc I don't want to miss anything important to the plot. But since it's only an 8 episode drama and I love the two MLs and the supporting characters, I'm definitely sticking around. The plot is definitely intriguing 🔥
I've a similary question but in my case is Go Kyung Pyo. Does he have a lot of screen time? In general, i really…
I've never been his fan and I've actually dropped 2-3 dramas where he was the ML but honestly, he doesn't bother me here and he's actually kinda funny in some scenes. He doesn't have too much screen time as of episode 6.
Does this drama have martial arts scenes like typical wuxia dramas? And can Cheng Yi fight or martial arts in…
This is a historical drama with no fantasy elements based on real historical figures. His fighting skills will be realistic, not based on magic/cultivation etc.
It's Hye Joo. The earring that's missing belongs to her. She's wearing it when she's fighting with Ra-Ik in episode 6 (watch around minute 4:30). It was probably like a couple thing, for each to wear one on the ear.
As for her motive?? Idk, maybe her obsession with Ra-Ik, she wanted him dependent on her help to get out of the murder situation and she thought she'd win him back that way. Or something else, idk but I'm pretty sure it's her now.
