Honestly this is the only drama where I think the whole misunderstandings trope between the leads was played out well. It didn't make me support anyone but rather made me think from their perspectives on why they hate/misunderstand each other. It's not like Feud where I was heavily supporting ML and his traumas as they weren't shown properly while FL's cruelty towards ML was dismissed as her love for her son with most of the viewers supporting FL's baseless actions.
I'm on ep-9 and I'm confused about something, why was SYM spending so much time on thinking about how to assassinate Nan Feng? She just have to put herself in danger in a secluded corner and when NF tries to save her, she can just kill him or get him killed while saving her. The whole logic doesn't make sense.
I think the major problem is that actors don't get the full script at the start of the signing. They are only to allowed to read the original novel and first 5-10 episodes which makes them believe that the drama is going to be good but then our screenwriters try to be super smart by trying to create a adaptation which has so much original unnecessary plots/changes that it becomes a cheap imitation of the novel without much substance. It's better to call them a inspiration rather than an adaptation because except the names, every other plot and character motivations are different here.
I am on ep-7, and I feel like I might be the odd one out, but I have never really liked Miji as a character or her love story with Ho Su. It felt one sided to me. Ho Su was the one putting in most of the effort, even though he was going through more emotional turmoil. He even ended up confessing again, while Miji stayed stuck in her constant inner conflict, even though he had already confessed in a subtle way before. She could have confessed too, but she did not, acting like a phabo. Miji kept misunderstanding his feelings because of her overthinking, insecurity, carelessness, and victim complex. Even Miji herself seemed confused about why Ho Su liked her, because she knew she had not really done anything for him. I actually found myself relating more to Mi Rae’s story. Miji, on the other hand, always portrayed herself as the victim, even when she was clearly in the wrong.
Mu Wu Xia becomes the Emperor in the end of the novel
Let me spoil something else for you, pls ignore if you don't want to.
I don't know what will happen in the drama but in the novel he isn't even the real prince but rather he is the prince of another country and together with Shen Zaiye confuses everyone even the previous Emperor and becomes the new Emperor when every other prince dies uniting all 3 countries.
Hahahha…I see this qns pop up everyday. Different viewers will give different opinion, to me it’s not the…
Thanks, I’ll start it soon. I, along with many others, was quite disappointed that Liu Haocun didn’t have any kissing scenes in BPIL, especially since it was a romance-focused drama. So I can understand why people are curious about the romance here. But since this one is more of a fantasy drama, I don’t really have any expectations in that regard.
The similarities is in smartness of the ml and revenge focus. The ML here can't do martial arts also and rely…
Thanks for the recommendation! Just one question. Does the ML here become a drunkard or act too simpish, always caught up in thoughts about the FL? That’s what happened in the 2nd half of The Ingenious One and I really did not like it at all. Also, the romance here is not half baked, right? I found the romance in The Ingenious One too sudden, and I did not like how the ML suddenly wanted to become less ruthless or became mopey just because of her.
