As much as I love Namkoong Min I lave to stop watching this idiotic drama. After episode six I've had enough of the ceaseless violence. Now that the even more unhinged wifey has entered the picture I'm out. TeaJu has a gun and he doesn't use it on these slimeballs. He deserves that shovel up the side of his head.

I hate that the smart Zhili is taken in by her 'master'. Tinghui is relentless in her pursuit of evil. His Majesty couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag but he could win any staring contest.

So far so good. Four episodes in and we are getting acquainted with our heroes and villains (that widow is full of spite). The FL manages to survive granny's liquid death, nothing noble about some of these nobles. The ML is bluffing his way to get some financial benefits. The road ahead will show whether they still need to have a need for each other's survival.

Agreed, but he does seem to know how to quickly make his way out of captivity with bags of stuff that we never see him use while walking through a jungle that looking at it overhead never seems to end.

Loving it. Great female characters who are self-reliant and smart. The Ml is good-looking enough for my discerning tastebuds. The evil goons are mostly motivated by money. The addictive pills are just a little over the top. It looks like there will be much more coming out about the FL's origins that will complicate matters.

In episode 6 that Japanese bitch, who has a terrible English accent, thinks she will be able to hear everything that is said because of the implant. Hasn't anyone ever told her people can write? Bangkonk has taken an arm and a leg from Jinmanis who is conked out at this point The Thai infiltrator is now wearing a necklace that will see everything he sees. My question is, why would the people at Jinman's headquarters not be suspicious of him knowing that his son, Atti, is being held by Babylon? Pasin sounds like a Zombie with a brain implant but I thought the one he got was in his abdomen? I thought niece had learned to stop being nice. Here she gets totally rolled by 'master' and has let the foxy Japanese and her merciless crew into the henhouse.

Episode 21. That punishment is a little bit skewed. Twenty lashes are assigned to one person. Four other people beg to share in the punishment. So why is everyone of them getting 20 instead of only 4 lashes each? Letting his Majesty put ointment on your back could turn out quite dangerous.

I'm totally hooked on historical Cdramas so I tend not to be critical. I appreciate all the other handsome young men and also like that she has loyal women friends. I saw one of those clips taken during the shooting of the drama which showed how inept the ML was in handling any kind of matial arts/sword play. It was hilarious.

Six year age difference and it shows but she's all over him in acting ability.

Episode 20 has descended into a total farce.

Yeah, she really had to reach up to get anywhere close to his lips.

I'm counting on you. Let's please give this drama a better rating.

I'm halfway though this and I like everything about this show. The main characters have complicated histories. Their previous romance came to a shocking end. Now the heroine's re-emergence causes great conflic as she is to marry his brother. Her motives gradually become clearer as she is uncompromising in her execution of bringing down a powerful family. There is danger ahead for both of them. Some of the families' characters are evil/dangerous or at minimum unlikable. The main leads and the supporting cast did an outstanding job.

Thanks for the info.

Oh sorry, I didn't check it out myself. Usually the ones on YT have English subs and you have to sit through the ads.

I just saw that ep. 1 is on YouTube

Just watching it on Amazon Prime with ads. The brothers are incredible swimmers. I seem to remember reading Wu Lei was afraid of water. Great job everyone. It's difficult to watch the viscious cruelty of the Japanese Armed Forces.

I've made it to episode 10 and the ratings aren't getting any better. It's quite incredible how cruel many of these family members are to each other. Susu has managed one of her goals without consequences. Let's see how focussed she can stay with contant clashes between the 'old lovers'. Twice characters made mention of how thin Qingyi is. It looks like her intended husband who would fill out his wedding suit better is really head over heels with the paper airplane champ.

Episode 13 ended with a bang. What I don't understand is why Ting Hui and her two sidekicks want to take on the Tiger Gang alone. She's head of the Security Service and should have plenty of muscle at her beck and call? They walked quickly through the halls of the gambling house as they hear a woman's scream instead of running. As a result, the victim is on her last legs spitting blood. The gang leader is so refined he takes baths in rose-petalled water and plays an erhu while plotting to supply important officials with pretty scholars to torture. There is someone powerful behind all this. He shouldn't be that hard to find as, apparently, he wears a red thunb ring with a bird symbol.

The ratings are in the crapper and the drama is getting terrible reviews. Despite that I came back after quitting early on because it so turgid that it's quite addictive. I'll keep going for a while just to see how far this love/hate relationship will go and what the fall-out will be on the character involved.
