Fiction takes license. And we should be happy it does. Who wants to watch dreary dramas about repressive societal strictures against women.

No English subtitles in any of the usual places. I guess they think nobody is interested in these middle-aged actors.

Solid pairing but just how much longer must we endure the male lead's lips hovering close, but not too close, to the luscious lips of the endearing little investigator?

Have to wait for episode 16 until they get some decent subtitles. So far so good. It looks like the leads are getting into some kind of groove. She's a little impulsive at times but that just means he has to work harder to catch up. Just waiting for some romance now.

I can't get enough of middle age actors. Other than Wu Lei most of these young idol actors are a waste of space.

Me too. Just finished Are You The One and was pleasantly surprised at the all around happy ending for the good people. Coming back to this drama even though i"m getting frustrated a t how slow these episodes are released and translated. I do like the FL using her smarts and no being intimidated by the her stern husband. Loosen up hubby and recognize a good thing when it comes your way.

How often do we see a drama that ends with three happy couples? While it started to sag a bit toward the end and took its time getting the evildoers out of the way, on the whole the story was interesting and had enough good action scenes and some endearing moments to satisfy.

The continued harrassment by the Dowager's 'sister' is finally coming to an end as her daughter gets wise to all the manipulations. Now the drama is filled to the brim with ceremony. These two episodes take their time luxuriating over the couples' joining hands in their new life's endeavours. Oppulent costumes take to the stage only to be discarded for a night of bliss behind the red curtain. The Lord receives a promotion and a summons to the capital. The new emperor is trying to weed out corruption. Who will get ensnared in all of these machinations. I wish for a little more time for romance between our smitten three couples.

These past episodes have been painfully boring. The noble ladies' mannerisms and one-upmanship are tedious to say the least. I hate that Miantang has been put into this environment. The military quest is hardly shown in any detail. The Empress is fending off an annoying older sister so there's been none of the banter between her had the emperor which is so enjoyable. The only couple that's even remotely enjoying their relationship is He Zhen and her devoted doctor.

Sorry for your dismay. Please don't mind if some of us are enjoying the match.

Finished ep 32 and things are going swellingly, but with some dark clouds up ahead. His mother, aunt and intended cousin have their noses out of joint. The happy couple don't care about the naysayers. The other couple (emperor and empress) continue to feel each other out. She's clever and no shrinking violet. I'm enjoying their talks and hope they will keep getting fonder of each other.

Read a lot of the comments below so checked out a few minutes of the beginning. Saw barely one boob.during this oracle seekers entreaty to the heavens. No problem with the commander's shout-out to his troops. It was heartfelt but I always wonder in these situations how any of the troops behind the few in the front are able to hear any of it. I think the blood lust just takes over. Will watch more of this in due course.

Looks promising because the FL is smart, opinionated and kind. ML looks good and even better when he keeps his eyes open. I recognize so many of these actors from other dramas I've watched, it's quite confusing.

The subtitles on this are still unsatisfactory. Not sure Ding Yu Xi can carry off this brutal character we see at the outset? Except for the Dowager Empress who's done this role repeatedly, the other supporting actors are mostly new to me. There are not many new historical Cdramas on offer right now so I guess I'm stuck with it for now. Help?

I'm finding it harder to like Miantang. She's being petulant and spiteful and for what 'getting rescued and healed'? Ziyu isn't much better. Wearing that beaded hat has gone to his head. Getting bored with this whole setup.

Things are certainly looking up for FL and if she's still pining it's not that apparent. The young empress is also quite delightful in her role. Why did Ziyu take Yue'er as a consort? Doesn't he know about her deception in regard to Cui Xing Zhou's battle and how she's responsible for MianTang's maiming and dive off the cliff. The ratings have moved up bit, but have a little ways to go.

I guess my feeling was he was dubbed here. I hate dubbing actors' voices. It removes something from their total performance.

Just started ep 1 and I guess it's supposed to be funny. Visually the intro is non-descriped. The voice over by the ML Tan Jian Ci doesn't sound like him as all but it looks like he's the only one worth watching. Not an encouraging start. Where does that rating come from?
