Goodness why do you need to even ask that. She's way better than Zhao Lu Si, that one is clear. Yang Mi btw is the lead in the the definitive xianxia drama Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms.

So Yang Mi is playing Bai Qian again?

Esther's voice is really distinctive. I first heard it I've Fallen For You and you can tell right away it's her real voice.

Releasing private correspondence and messages isn't intelligent or rational behavior. This is not a legal affair. Has a crime been committed for her to divulge personal information like that. I'm pretty sure no police will be knocking on Xu Kaicheng's door because he may or may not have a roving eye.

She's not the wife honey. Unless someone is engaged or married, I fail to see why anyone would be shock when something like this happens. There is really nothing more that can be said. The other party should get the drift and move on. This is completely ridiculous behavior, even in those who are married going through these kinds of problem. Ever heard of discretion, privacy and being prudent? Someone needs to slap that "girlfriend" possibly ex now to a cold and hard reality.

So some scorned woman out for revenge dragged Gulinazha into her relationship troubles with her boyfriend? You'd think she was the legal wife or something blowing up this ridiculous scandal.

In episode 2 the leads are in some border town, actually an SAR which means it's part of China, but with people that look like they are Burmese. Yet somehow there are a lot of English signs and weirdly banner signs in Dutch.

Mkvdrama.org has 1080p episodes that are much clearer than Dramacool though I still would recommend using the official channels.

I love PXR but I have no interest in watching dramas with heavy CCP propaganda and themes.

I would like to see the second male leads from Long Ballad in this one Liu Yu Ning as the childhood sweetheart and Alen Fang as her arranged husband.

Kang Tae Oh looks so good in sageuk dramas. He was not very palatable in Tale of Nokdu but his performance was mesmerizing and his cheeky smile was killer.

The King here deserves to be pulled to pieces. An absolute piece of garbage and a paranoid psycho.

Absolute shit show of a drama. I would rate the political plot of this drama as zero. I would give it a negative if I could. At episode 15, there is absolutely no development in this aspect. The useless ML has achieved a grand total of zero success in the royal court. He walks into traps and gets embroiled in the conspiracies of his opponents in the court and yet can't catch a single damn criminal.

Finally seeing this for the first time and this is complete thrash when you compare it to the brilliance of Scarlet Heart which came out around the same time. This is a mish mash of every terrible Korean court drama plot.

Let's see the checklist:
1. Weakass and useless rulers.
2. Evil, powerful and treacherous ministers.
3. Male lead with grand and ambitious plans for the country but he is a useless puppet. See number 1.
4. Cheesy romance which is even worst than tipid chemistry.
5. Romeo and Juliet plot
6. Intelligent, mysterious, courageous and grounded 2nd leads who are somehow in love with the leads(It's good except for the part where they have unrequited love for the ML and FL)
7. And so on
.
.
.

Obviously one of the leads will die in the end.

In real life that Empress eventually became regent for her stepson as well. It was obvious even in this fictionalized account nothing would happen to her. I should have realized sooner none of the real instigators and conspirators in these drama would receive due punishment.

I thought you'd gone now. Why are you still stinking this place up? I'm too busy just to waste time trying to understand your gibberish copy pasted from Google Translate.

The door is welcoming you. Your obnoxious attitude is stinking this place all over. Hopefully PXR gets considered for this role.

The last 10 episodes were just marginally better than passing grade. Honestly it has been downhill ever since the story move to the capital. How a writer could completely go off tangent and forget the juice off the story and muddle the plot. This is a perfect example. I think the writer only has talent for romance and maybe action seeing how engaging the first episodes were. Anything else is just a parody. The political story in this drama is lazily and poorly written and frankly a hack job.

This drama just limped to the finish line. It started so well. I can't say I'm happy on how this turned out. So much promise and the main plot got sidelined to squeeze more romantic drama from the main leads. So disappointing.
