that pilot guy is a red flag, and the purser is colour blind ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
She wants him because he's a pilot. He likes her because she's convenient. The characters here, especially the pilot's behaviour/personality, are commonly known among airline staff. Not all, but pilots usually got the taste of many cabin crews. Pilots are glamorous, rich, and high status, whereas stewardesses are hot and pretty. So the advantage goes both ways and mostly benefits both sides.
Why ml's mother so annoying? Why is she insulting zheng's mom. Like her second marriage is so bad luck even after…
It's a traditional Chinese mom character, old money. Some traditional Chinese culture believed that the 2nd marriage is bad luck because the first marriage failed; hence, come the 2nd. And also some old superstition always believed that you don't want to be around such luck because they fear it will infect your life. And a black and white photo usually displaying an obituary – that's why she said it's more bad luck. Of course, these are old and traditional cultural belief systems; it just shows his mom is a traditional and superstitious person.
Yes, I agree. I guess at one point they did what they had to do to the extent of sacrificing themselves and the possibility of dying. But we'll just have to wait till the end. I do believe this is a happy ending.
I'm at ep 22, and that first heat passion spark between Meng and the Emperor feels so...eek! It's cringe and barf. Not only do they have zero chemistry, but intimacy is also felt forced. Considering dropping this.
I can't stop thinking about The Double chemistry whenever Yin Qing and Meng Ting Hui in the same frame. Their chemistry is so strong it's overflowing to this drama. Sorry He Du / Chen Zheyuan.
The title is still about her, she's the shadow sovereign
Yes, I agree, from a political POV, she's the architect behind the reform of the government. But it is not all political and power; it is also about her as a person, as a girl, as a woman, her feelings and emotions, her struggle, and her heartaches, her heartborken, her love...her needs...
Despite the huge age gap, oh well... they do look kind of promising together. If you watched Fangs of Fortune, I'd like to imagine this is Zhu Yan's and Qing Geng's human incarnation's past life. ;-)
