The First Night with the Duke Episode 1
0 people found this review helpful
I actually really like the idea of changing the setting to ancient Joseon. It gives the drama a fresh feel and makes it feel like an actual adaptation, instead of just a straight-up boring copy. Some parts are feeling weird to me, though. Especially the whole dynamic between the main character and one of the evil ladies (I don’t remember anybody’s name yet… yes, I am that person.) The MC is portrayed as such a silly, carefree, and fearless person in the webcomic, so seeing her be a bit more timid and aware of her surroundings feels off. I like how there seems to be something with her family, too. I like when stories are more than just boring romance and have characters outside of it, even if they’re as basic as siscon brothers.As the drama has already finished airing by the time I finally had the time to watch this, I’ve seen that the rating isn’t the highest so it is making me a bit wary. I hope it will stay as something I enjoy.

estar Guo is still doing my head in - he keeps poisoning himself just to keep serving Shen, who on his part treats him like garbage... OMG but i would've tossed something hard at his head, ages ago. but Guo keeps his head down & wont quit. yeah he showed a bit of humanity in the car, taking Guo to the hospital of his choice - still doesn't make up for the way he usually treats him. that's why i loved when the Doc came in & treated him like his usually treats Guo - was worried for a sec that he might clue the moronic Shen in, that Guo wasn't a beta but an omega, but thankfully Shen to "thick' & just ended up smiling from his take-down. very satisfying, hope that's not the end of that. **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw ironic that Shen talks about Sheng Shao You as if he is full of himself, when the one that has an over sized ego as far as i'm concerned is Shen. also didn't get Shen antagonizing let alone picking a fight with Sheng Shao You, even if he had to hide the fact that Hua Yong the enigma was in heat & couldn't afford Sheng Shao You knowing at this stage in their "relationship" - but given how possessive Hua Yong is of Sheng Shao You, u don't need to be a genius to figure out that Hua Yong wont be thankful. ****************************************************************************************************************************************the reason i don't like this omega verse is cause of the "heat" period - if ur in heat then anyone near u that is a alfa can't "cool" u. it's more animalistic & less emotional connection. but i get that here even though the in "heat" period u don't lose ur mind & u can still yearn for that special someone. which is something better then nothing i guess - still Hua Yong is totally playing Sheng Shao You.

KJ2025 The battle scenes were choreographed beautifully. It was very exciting to watch. I do have a question tho, where the hell was Chi’s armor?!?! We finally got the full story of Han and Huai. Who knew that the dowager thought the best brother ruling? I have no clue how she reached that assessment when he murdered all that stood in the way of the throne for his son. I was a bit annoyed I got cult leader wrong, but was placated with minister Li’s chest reveal and arrest. 😁 The eunuch has a lot of people he will recognize no matter which place he goes. Killed while praising his illustrious leader all self righteous of his cause while passing off his white mask and shifting blame. The same poison that started it all was fitting. He had a chance to explain and admit wrongdoing. He died still grasping for the throne. Ze getting stabbed by the hairpin that was a symbol of love is ironic. He had as many issues as the emperor. Had Han stuck with the wife he loved and his son, he would have been far poorer and much happier. Young Sui will be guided by regent Chi and rule well. His entire young life has shown him what not to do. The dowager ….I have mixed feelings for her. She let family die to keep her secret. Giving him up was a choice she thought she had to make, but sitting there letting her family die one by one….she should have guilt and regret for that. Ok….the two wives going at it was almost comical. The consort was a B no doubt…but she had the empress’ number down on having a weak son to hand her the throne. They decided to clear the air by killing each other. The new laws of the land will bring more relief to the commoners oppressed and suppressed by royals and officials. It was a good start to leveling the field for justice. Ning is heading home to decide where her life is headed from here…..her special delivery is taking the journey with her. All will be done to take care of his beautiful face. 😂There are some loose ends that could have been tied up a bit better with the cases, but overall is an enjoyable watch. I would love to see a season two but don’t think we will get that lucky. If not, this is a satisfactory place to end with a bright future for all of them.

i really love the scenes, when they were children it's so wholesome & heartwarming. & ironically Jun Xi has retained his innocence & pure heart from childhood. while Han Tuo (maybe out of desperation) has turned conniving & he keeps manipulating Jun Xi, which just feels wrong - when Jun Xi is this trusting - feels unfair. *******************************************so was happy when Han Tuo came clean & told Jun Xi how he feels about him, but then he had to turn around & ghost Jun Xi, just cause Jun Xi didn't reciprocate?!??? like r u kidding me??? **********************************************************************i hate these type of friends, u "fell" all on ur own & i guess gave & cared for... cause u were in-love. what about ur unsuspecting friend? they didn't have an ulterior motive when they cared & gave to u. but now cause u have confessed & they didn't know how to react, u r ready to throw away a life time of friendship as if nothing, cause u didn't get ur way??? hella selfish IMO. **********************************************************************************************************************************************even the end - Jun Xi has treated Han Tuo & Xiao Yang like family since they were children, even if Xiao Yang was suddenly ghosting him he would be worried thinking about her 24-7. that love? - yeah the platonic kind. idk how i feel about this whole plot that feel like a whole ass gaslighting exercise - toxic relationship.

jisuqlf The scene where she rushes to help him is the only scene I cried on this entire drama. The acting from both leads were phenomenal.

idk what i feel about this 1st ep - like the chemistry is banging & i get that Han Tuo might have fallen for Lu Jun Xi, when he approached him as a child & said he should come play with them. but i don't like his underhanded ways & him manipulating Lu Jun Xi (who is like an innocent trusting child) into something that is way over his head. *******************************************Lu Jun Xi's reaction after the fact hurt my soul, he was very disturbed. so idk.... & that end scene, where it looks like Han Tuo is gonna jump him... again (which also might be a mislead) & basically force him into something he is unsure about..... ugh - really doesn't sit well with me.

To find out only a birthmark away from the throne😝 Han had reason to be angry. But for him the bloodiest path was always his first choice. He went to great lengths to feign heroics to cover his cold blooded murder of Huai. Being treated like a hero for taking a vengeful act on an unarmed man is the epitome of irony. The Empress has nothing left to lose so she is teaming up with the less blind Prince to raise a coup against the murderer of her husband and son. Missed it by ‘that’ much on the leader of cult. Takes a blind guy to lead blind obedience in this crowd. Minister Li is still part of it but not the leader I expected. Yan Li and Sui are locked in the palace when all hell breaks loose. This is Deja vu for poor Sui, but on a much grander scale. Wan and Chi have made it inside the castle and things are getting ugly quick. Imperial guards are killed by cultists disguised as guards. They are getting ready to go toe to toe with local radicals. The blind prince should have made more effort to work with Wan and Chi. This could have been dealt with on a legal front. Having said that, considering how well the legal system worked for Jin he had every reason to not. Jin’s resigned laugh at the opulent wine decanter with poison just for him. The evidence is coming together but there is going to be a literal royal bloodbath first. That smiling eunuch that did all the dirty work finally had enough. He is more than ready to see the fake emperor die for his crimes. I’m all for that but want Yan Li and Sui out of the building first. Alive.

From the very first scene, Jimmy and Sea captured it all — the silence, the softness, the longing. Episode 1 is already everything. 💙

Dg457 Well, we got to see more depth in Lee Do's character and once again, Kim Nam Gil delivered an amazing performance. Still the whole story has become too messy and unfortunately Moon Baek is very superficial as a villain. I understand his motives but the way they are presented (or the lack thereof) are not enough to make him a fleshed out character, in my opinion. But at least we saw more o his conflict with Lee Do. The chemistry between chief and Lee Do was emotional and I admit that at one point, I almost teared up.

The storyline has been improved much better, intense and detailed. The editing is also very good, don't doubt jimmysea's acting anymore because it's very good and their micro expression is really good!Did not expect anything from this series, but it turns out that the main part (storyline) has been made very well and neatly, good job for the team. Pace is also very dense and not long-winded. Really recommended

The series has a solid start, packed with various emotions, little tear jerking, laugh bursting moments and the chilling thrills, it truly has every aspect of it in a single episode! (imagine how the whole series would go!). If I were to be asked to choose which part was the best one, I wouldn't be able to pick! It starts with their backgrounds, Thapfah as the ER doctor and Inthu the fortune teller who can see the future of someone who's close to him, the tension in this part, truly leaves me speechless for a minute. The scene escalates to their meeting and the bickering which is so enjoyable, the enemies to lovers part where you can actually see Thapfah's caring side towards Inthu behind his annoying demeanour, it's just so interesting to watch! I also love the arrangement, the way the series progresses towards the end, some are unexpected but everything just makes sense.I would say this series is truly worth watching, the first episode is already this good, so everyone please don't miss this!

Mizuhira-san It's nice to see the close bonds between the three princes (Yan Chi, Yan Li and Yan Ze). But something is fishy about this Yan Ze. Hope he gets more screen time~

truly an episode packed with everything without getting overwhelmed:- realistic medical scene with medical terms being explained (plus point is because an actual doctor acts as a doctor)- tarot readings with different cards being explained - banter in all relationships (familial, friendships.... love interest) - a good storyline flow - not just filled with fun, joy and laughter, but also action and suspense.be prepared to stay curious after finishing the episode!definitely one not to be missed, do give it a try and prepare for a flavourful experience with jimmy, sea, save, franc, junior, first and acare!
