I get it, it's New Years. We're in a Chinese drama so does everyone have to say 'Happy Chinese New Years'? The fireworks are fabulous, the story - not so much.
Very tense. Namkoong Min is outstanding as he was in My Dearest. The FL is also exceptional. The couple obviously has had trouble overcoming previous trauma so hopefully they can have a new start. His in-laws are scummy. The chunky villain is a little too powerful for my taste. I hate when they write a character in that way.
Just finished ep. 10. What an exciting confrontation with the Eagle creep. How can he get away with shooting a soldier and injuring Wuyi's brother before the contest? Shouldn't the Empress confront and punish him for not following the rules? Jiayu is a great strategist and they make a formidable couple. How soon will she realize Prine Qi is a limp noodle. I hope she and Wuyi will be able to neutralize the evil Grand Tutor's plans.
Ep. 9 The Crown Prince is a lot more sympathetic than the FL. I had almost forgotten her origin story of being inhabited by another soul since the focus always seems to be her interest in ensuring the advancement/survival of her father, the general. Her bluntness is refreshing as are her talent with scents and incense. Nothing like falling off a cliff to clear the air between friends and enemies. Ive always like Jeremy Tsui, but here his character is annoying but now it looks like he will be another in line for her affection. It's good to see she has her coterie of female attendents/friends for support as many schemers seem to have it in for her. The cross-dresser is quite rambunctious and I'm waiting when her love interest will realize she has no Adam's apple. I'm having a good time watching. What more can you ask of a drama?
The Crown Prince is one smart cookie. Have watched 7 episodes and the drama is looking great. The FL is upright in the pursuit of her agenda and her skills with incense are a unique aspect of the drama. As always a few niggles in these dramas for me. Here again she has to bandage a suitor's hand and is just as incompetent at it as all the previsous heroines are in a long line of dramas :)
After a couple of episodes I'm ambivalent about this drama. Came for ML but hate seeing him get victimized by a cruel wife and a viscious criminal. Still Namkoong Min is aging like a fine wine so this glass is half-full.
Want to watch this since I loved that hunk Ahn Bo Hyun in Military Prosecutor Doberman but there was a lack of romance. Hope to get some lip action here.
Just finished episode 8 and bloody hell that General is evil incarnate. What punishment could possible be enough to make her pay for her crimes? Came back to say I finished it and can someone explain why, after the General got sentenced to death, she continues to live in the drama? Our main leads did a good job and deserved that kiss at the end, so why didn't we get to see it? Bolt was a good dog who better looking after.
