Liu Chang told his parents "I had a life with even less freedom than your dog. You want a son that will rise to…
๐ฌ I missed the ๐ part... Wow, this meal and dialogue is so telling and reveals his strong emotions, feelings, and foreshadows where he will head next... I do feel sorry for him. He has faults - yes, but he was not corrupt, malicious, and/or exploitative like his parents. He was just clueless and could only see things through his own perspective... no self-awareness. And, yes, his pestering of Mudan was annoying.
I guess having concubines is a very bad thing nowadays, like having more than 1 partner is ultimately cheating…
Tang dynasty is over a thousand years ago. Back then people did not live very long (max 30-40 year), unlike today. Pregnancies were difficult, miscarriages, high death rates with children (maybe 2 of 10 children survive, etc). And, thus, men were allowed to have more than one wife. Among the wealthy, the noble, the number of wives also signified a person's status. More wives = more wealth and higher status. In addition, it's a patriarchal society.
Let's have a discussion on why JCY hasn't confessed to MD yet after 32 episodes... My thought is that he doesn't know if she feels that way towards him and, thus, feels insecure bringing it up especially since she hasn't dropped any signs.......
What a beautiful ending. Some viewers were so mad about ML taking the concubine, but they don't get it why he…
They are too busy reading the subtitles... but when they are AI translated... much meaning and understanding is lost, unfortunately ๐ I myself am still waiting on Viki translation to better understand the details and dialogue.
My eyes were literally full of tears during the whole scene where Jiang Changyang was really sad that Mudan was…
Mine too... so many emotional and sweet moments in these last few episodes.... my eyes were welling up at times. I'm satisfied with how this season ended and definitely looking forward to the second half. ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ชท๐บ
Anyone else think that the reason JCY keeps having Mudan cook for him, is because he actually uses that as an…
give her things... like what? the swing. nah... i think he enjoys spending time with her and her cooking is a way to do it. Since he's spending a lot of time at her place, he might as well make it comfortable with a swing and large BBQ pit...
Ah! So much drama... Starting of Episode 26 reminded me of LYF... Cousin brother proposing marriage to his cousin…
Without going into which countries, there are royal families today where the crown prince, king, royal family members, marry their cousins to keep their tradition and royal bloodline "pure" and "in the family.". So yes, it still happens even today, and among the so called elite.
Anybody noticed that Chang Yang called Mu Dan 'Jiang Xiao Hua' in front of her cousin and ex? He usually calls…
He's sneaky.... ๐ so much information is revealed in the richness of the dialogue in this drama....so have to pay close attention... this is what I love about this drama.
