They are both must watch. Just started rewatching this after many years and the politics of the harem are brutal. What makes it all worth while is the enduring love and understanding between Ruyi and the Emperor. In Xanxi Palace I remember the FL going into the palace to revenge her sister's death, falls in love with a young man and the relationship with the Emperor is more fraught and takes time to develop.

What a tragic love story. The tragic part could have been avoided if her 'brother', who knew everything, could have come clean from the beginning. He is totally responsible and was thoroughly unlikable.

Finally, hot smooching that was a long time coming. Can't stop there, have to show the couple's smarts in fighting off the frame-up and how she can handle complicated intrigue by various evil methods. She can tell the rice from the bran to nourish their survival.

I probably didn't pay enough attention to when this drama actually took place so pardon my ignorance. I watch many historical Cdramas and inevitably there are people putting their fingerprints on contracts/divorce papers so there must have been a way they were identifying an individual's fingerprint to authenticate such contract.

Episode 14. I do not buy the writer's turn of events at all. There is no way this timid, sick woman would string herself up from the rafters. She doesn't seem capable of hurting her children's future reputation. I guess if you haven't shown your 'mother' any affection, you need to overcompensate your mourning.

The evil doesr are going from bad to worse. When poison didn't work, get out the incindiaries. The Prime Minister is in cahoots with them all. Mommy Dearest finds out her little spawn knows all about how she fried his dad and now the heat is on his favorite uncle. All the good guys can manage is to look surprised. Two episodes to go and they better be worth my time.

Well, just watched episode 9 which was left them in limbo. I spent the whole time giving the Prime Minister 'the finger'. One can expect such deviousness from the Queen Mother, but for the Prime Minister not to divulge that he knows about the plot to poison the Grand Prince and 'who dunnit' is inexcusable. Eaten up by jealousy which results in showing his total lack of morality and corruption.

Just finished episode 9 and think Yan Yun should let his hair down more often.

Haven't seen these leads in anything before and I find body swap dramas tedious.

I like a spunky FL so I'm liking the drama so far. I'm waiting for the spark between Yan Yun and her. They already seem to be intellectual equals, all the other guys in the running are stradlers.

Phew, that was traumatic. She's a little trooper and he's totally smitten to the point of tears. I'm happy to see that he is able to raise her heart rate. What is that Queen up to?

Right. They looked better when they were making out in the intro.

You're right the hair looks awful, but it's nothing like the messed up style she wore in Blossom Shanghai.

I'm looking for something romantic and the two leads seemed to fit the bill, but I have to say Mark Chao's facial hair is putting me off.

AI cannot take the place of your physical self nor your inner self (subconscious). Really appreciate Liu Yuning as a creative person. His music and dramas are much appreciated.

I agree, but I didn't want to mention it because he was quite well-meaning. The other thing that irritated me was the constant 'I'm sorry' that everyone repeated. Then I wondered if this was sponsored by some clothing brand because everyone was in a different coat every 15 minutes.

Just finished it. Mainly came here for the male lead and really enjoyed him because he gradually had to learn how to be somewhat human in order to be her companion. Luckily, he managed to graduate from butterfly, to flower, to a regular guy who wants to get married for love. Cha Ju Ik played the sexiest man alive. My next favorites were god girl and the garden. Least favorite was Auntie (painfully possessive) and Lee Hyeon Gyu (passive aggressive).

Half-way through and it's heating up a little. Although he probably should have rinsed out his mouth after upchucking over the side of the yacht. The Prime Minister's bow tie is askew and the Queen Mother has something to hide. His little Majesty is a scene stealer. We still don't know who or why someone wants to off the bride-to-be.

I wonder that myself. His acting is off the charts and I find him steamy sexy.

That was quite a ride. My understanding is that Seoul is quite hilly, so why not find a road with a steep incline instead of scrapping along a railing? Don't these cars have airbags when they come to a sudden stop? This was a ridiculous episode. Six days to wait for the next episode that will hopefully make more sense.
