Thanks!

Yes, you say my words. That's how I feel about Yukee (lack of charisma) and how I watch dramas too - for the story, the characters and plots, and not for the actors.

I'm having problem right from the start. Killing of the concubines is supposed to be sad, serious and somber. And yet, it is made into a comedy. The FL almost dies but she acts as if that's not a big deal. I just cannot wrap my mind around this - what is going on? Luckily now the genre of this drama says it's a comedy, so I can take it that everything is just a joke, but it's not even funny.

Right (from your comments)! If the production wants to go that route and make it into a dark comedy, I wouldn't mind. This drama was not labeled as a comedy initially, so I took it as a serious type of drama and what I saw so far is so "dog blood".

Even the sweetest Lo Han Guo also doesn't help. The romance feels so "forced".

Same :D

Now with the new "comedy" genre, I can take this series less seriously despite all the deaths.

I'm reading all these nice comments, and wondering why I don't feel the same. Perhaps it's the shitty script writing I'm having problem with. I'm trying to give this a chance and suppressing my impatience. Let's hope the later episodes improve.

His twin brother was a eunuch. He died and ML uses his brother's identity to enter the palace, looking for revenge.

Nope, he's not a eunuch. He still has his manhood :D

I don't read comments from other platforms, only on MDL. Interesting to see how others view this drama. I just feel something is not right.

I share your pain! So disappointed. I'm so confused with this drama.

Oh, what do people say?

Honestly speaking, the FL character really confuses me. We know she's very intelligent, but acts foolish to fool others. But the acting is confusing and inconsistent, and I find Yukee overacts.

But I thought at that point, FL still doesn't know what is going on yet and doesn't know that Fu Wang is interested in her, and the significance of the lantern. How she throws and breaks the lantern seems very unnatural to me, no?

IKR! I'm so confused. I didn't want to laugh but it's just hilarious so far.

Agree! Throwing it down like that looks intentional. She should have placed it down and then accidentally steps on it, that would have looked more believable.

I don't believe he's been castrated, so to speak XD

Yes, watch Wang Hedi in Love Between Fairy and Devil. He's perfect there.

I have expected a dead serious series with all those executions and heinous scheming, and Wang Hedi's serious face. But instead, I'm watching a lot of comedies. I'm so confused.
