Good for you. It seems to be getting better and better.

Just finished up to ep 17. Come on let's get this great drama up to a 9 rating at least.
I'm loving all the intrigue and manipulation of foes. Qiao Xiao is so clever in how she supports her 'Lord' in his plans as well as taking take of his personal needs. That scene where she rubs him the right way and he slowly relaxes into her bosom is priceless.

She's doing a good job in The Haunted Palace.

I love everthing about this drama. Of course, I want the evil guys to get punished eventually. In the meantime they are good foils. Yeori holds this whole drama in her capable hands. Yun Gap is a sweet, clumsy fool who knows when to play hardball. The leads are attractive and I'm happy to see that they acknowledge that they are attracted to one another. So many great supporting actors. The wily Queen Dowager's face is in constant motion. Yun Gap's mom is a force of nature. Bravo to all involved.

Didn't Ehuang just get away with one. I thought she had something to do with boiling the wheat but it seems only his dotty mother got the blame? I'm liking the leads relationship. It's still wary but they are warming up to each other more and more.

Thank you for the information. I have not read the novel and one can never be sure how closely these dramas follow their source material.
Nevertheless, I guess just watching the main leads keep going between bickering and attraction can get boring for some. Not me.

I hope this drama stays this good and gets into the 9 ratings range. The dandy new Wei cousin is slightly amusing. Will he make a play for the FL? I doubt she will be tempted. The new subplot with the coughing character, his plotting wife and uncle seems an unnecessary distraction.

Well, it was 8.5 before it went down to 8.1 and now it's getting better.

This drama should be rated much higher. The latest episodes are intense both politically wheree there are major strategies to understand and personally where the relationship keeps getting more complicated and defenses are falling away between two wary people.

Thanks, I've always wondered why. It's not very attractive for the bottoms of the long costumes of especially the women's.

FL is sure having to juggle a lot of balls in the air. ML is petulant, impulsive, mean but also sometimes kind and at times lamentable. This drama is satisfying in its complicated history, relationships and is authentic looking. (Someone please tell me why, not counting when it rains, the floors inside and outside are always wet?)

I was wondering why this drama dropped in the ratings all of a sudden as it's getting better and better. What a lot of losers who organize these boycotts.

Well, there are more Cdramas that drop, not all of them worth watching. For me historical Kdramas are way better but there are too few of them.

Best wishes on the finals and then have a great summer.

I've given up on this three quarters of the way in. All that's left is giving this my rating which at best is around 7.0. I can't be bothered to write a review but have made comments here throughout.

Oh good, there are 8 episodes to go. I'm loving this drama. All the characters are so well drawn. Have to call out 'Grilled Abalone' for special mention. This head eunuch is great physical comic. We now know which humans are the evil doers behing the eight-foot spirit. Yeo Ri and Yoon Gao better join up to fight these powerful forces.

I'm having a hard time getting motivated to finish this boredom. If it wasn't for Wifey and Hubby, I would have stopped watching this a few episodes ago. Sad Sack SMLtrying to avoid the inevitable. How are they going to end his storyline? What a waste of a nice character. Somebody give the FL some truth serum and put us out of our misery. What exactly doesn't she know yet?

Episodes 28 and 29 were another snorefest. Despite all the exposition of what happened to the FL's family and the bad guy's confession, we still don't know who is Mr. Evil behind everything. I zipped through everything as fast as possible. Way too little time spent with second couple who have romance happening. Third couple are a couple of sick f*ks with Mommy and Daddy issues.

The subtitles are off in this last episode and some of the music is way too loud. Get it together, this drama is limping along as it is.
