Surprised to see Gao Wei Guang in a bit part.

Yeah, I've seen him playing and evil character and a clutz, he does pretty much everything well.

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.

Except for thos silly pots on the heads of the Beifu Army, I'm liking this drama just fine.

I'll try it out next. Oh yeah, it has Tiffany Tang in it. A favorite of mine who did a great job with her character in Blossom Shanghai.

You can watch him in The Lead now. His character is pretty annoying.

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.

It is tough for me and because I'm aware that the film industry put these pressures on actors, I refuse to watch what offends me.

I've made it to episode 6 and much as I like martial arts battles, I am having a hard time believing any super hero can battle these throngs of assassins. The other phony thing is that the 'mayor' is obviously an emperor of some kind and for whatever reason has been demoted.

Was going to watch this for the ML, but the FL has put me off. How white and thin do you have to be to get a major role in Kdramas these days?

Quite a likeable quicky story that satisfied my desire for mixing enough historical content with the modern aspect of the story. The female lead was able to show strength and vulnerability. The male lead is new to me. He was able to move on from an entitled rich guy to hook up with someone whose personal story needed empathy. The villain managed to be a full-on creep. Only a few of the supporting cast made an impact (like grandma and grandpa), most of the others ranged from superfluous to annoying.

Watched a couple of episodes but am still ambivalent about the drama. Have always liked this female lead. Here she seems too energetic and affectatious. If the mayor has a higher purpose in life, he's keeping it on the down low. Not sure I want to bother to find out.

Love Namkoong Min from his role in My Dearest. While I usually only watch historical dramas will give this one a go.

I'm on ep 83 so almost done. It's going from bad to worse for the Empress. How such a glorious character can be brought done by evil people is beyond me. The Emperor is delusional and toxic.

Ok, I posted that I found the first episode a hoot. It starts out with a look at the family dynamics where our female lead clearly makes a fool out of everyone especially hour 'mother'. She retrieves her riches and sets out on her mission to marry. As she passes her initially intended, he might be showing just a little regret upon watching her stroll by. Being 'left at the altar' doesnt faze her at all. She goes to meet the new man in her life and quickly takes him in hand in a firm, but gracious and kindly way. He is bemused but quickly puts her off on the wedding night, leaving me curious to see what might develop between them. What more can you ask of a Cdrama?
