yui

i saw in the cast pu tao and i was like...grape?

ahh and the fact that yang jian really didn't have any concubines makes me wonder if they really did love one another

ikr! after i found out it was based on real events i went on wiki and traced everything together which made the drama seem even more fascinating to me .

oh damn the cgi is hella good im excited

yes, the ending is very sweet :)

huh i feel like they took the 'oppa saranghaeyo' idea from Go Princess Go bc it was basically the same

A few years later and I still think this drama has one of the best posters ><

wow when i first heard there would be a second season with different leads I was really put off and uninterested, but I love Mike and Esther seems to really fit this role from what I see in the trailer so now I'm kinda excited!

SHIN YE EUN AND JINYOUNG LESGOOOO

omg Arci's hair color on the cover!! how chic

Exactly! That's why I love reading chinese webnovels where the female lead is cunning/has one extremely powerful trait (like yunxi with poison) and usually knows what she's doing. After all we love seeing empowered women :)

for a second I thought this was based off the novel miao miao miao because the MC is a cat demon (similar concept lol), but I'm glad I found this! (also I really wish miao miao miao could be made into a drama adaptation on par with san sheng san shi or ashes of love TT)

Overpowered! Basically the character is super strong, smart, perfect, etc.

ah yea that part was a bit questionable lolol. Guess they were trying to add a bit more 'romantic' scenes in after revolving around the political side :/

something about this drama just throws me off, so im not sure whether I should watch it or not. I usually manage to pull off finishing these types of dramas with a bunch of skipping tho lol

i thought it was decent lol. The only annoying thing was that mantuo girl who never learned her lesson

yayy, another chinese youth drama adapted from a novel. these are so great though i'm lazy to read the novels but its nice to see it acted out.

but if she manages to get hired despite how annoying her voice is.. maybe that's what mainlanders like LOL. or maybe they just wanted their characters to have annoying voices for some odd reason :/

i didn't realize how much I missed him until I started watching Memories of the Alhambra TT

Usually when writers leave the ending ambiguous its meant to be open to the viewer's own interpretation. So really you can imagine all you want for what will happen based off the very last scene. I was a bit disappointed at first bc i wanted a sappy ending and get together but now im just slightly satisfied. a second season does sound like a great idea though!
