I enjoyed this too and I'm one of the people who read the novel but I'm cool with what they changed,it gives a…
That's great for you! I chose not to read any of the cdramas' respective novels because it takes away all the surprises and taints my viewer experience. Many times, the cdrama versions always make some changes, and hardcore novel readers/lovers don't take it too well when part of the storylines is modified, even sometimes for a better story development. I can't wait for more episodes, too!! Let's enjoy together!!! ๐
Just finished the first 4 episodes and I'm enjoying it! It's better than all the dramas that's on air now. And of course, I'm glad I didn't read the novel so I don't come in with a bias view.
OMG the king's 180 in episode 35 was like those white vans of death hitting me. And its soooooo suspicious that…
One thing I like about this drama is how it drops mini hints throughout the show. It's been hinted several times either vocally or through actions that the Emperor treats Li better than his sons. Based on that, I think Li is the Emperor's REAL son.
Can anyone tell me the relationship between all the prines and the whole family tree of the palace including the…
All the princes are either the Emperor's sons or his paternal nephews.
Prince Sui's mom was one of the Emperor's consort. Prince Sui's dad is the Emperor. Prince Jin was either the Emperor's younger brother or a paternal nephew.
If I say more, it would reveal too much and become a major spoiler.
The actor playing the role of the Emperor is such a great actor! His performance is impeccable because up to ep 34, you really can't tell his real color although there have been shots here and there that bring on suspicions. Once we're up to ep 35 and his true color is revealed, you can tell he's truly fake crying for the dead Crown Prince.
I'm up to ep 35, and this drama is soooo goood. So many arcs and things happening simultaneously. No one is innocent in my eyes now except for our 4 main leads. Everyone has their own agendas.
I have to say the director is doing an excellent job in casting everyone in a suspicious light, not to mention, rather appropriate sound effects, like when the blind prince stepped over the pebbles.
To those who can't get into it, you have to get to at least episode 4, and the drama will get better.
Last few episodes were like open season for hunting. ๐ฑ
