I think i understand the all trash fiance situation. Its not about how great of a match he is (he's not) but the meaning to have him. Let me explain The half sister want to keep her fiance because she is insecure of the FL coming back after 10 years, love and admired by everyone. She is capable, the favorite of the grandma... plus, she is the dautgher of the first wife. Losing her fiance can be translate to "you cool but your sister is a better version of you. You were just a remplacement. The original is back, bye!" Same for the cousin. She is form the "low" branch of the family. For her, the enemy are both pf her cousins. Taking the fiance make her feel equal to them. The real problem is family issues and insecure teenagers raise by calculating adults that are not help with the all consort thing.
YunChe!!! I miss him 😢 But yeah, I though i was the only one seeing these details about their uniforms and that teenagers can go anywhere in the palace lol
I also couldn't understand why both of those girls had a crush on that guy after seeing how bad of a person he is, there had to be better options. Thank you for the video
I think it should be said that a lot of these girls are married off at 16/17 so it's a real possibility that Ah Li is at most 17/18 lol. The actress looks older but given how Chinese history and cdramas are, Ah Li would have been married off not long after her hair pining ceremony.
Yep, Fang Fei is 18/19. She married Shen Yurong at 15/16 and they were married for about 3 years. Duke Su is also way younger than what we think he is, he’s actually just about an adult as well 😂 source: novel
0:46 If I remember correctly, the brother she's referring to here is actually King Cheng, not the Emperor, as King Cheng is guarding the borders and would be (innocently) interested in safety and security.
OMG you're totally right! She says she should tell ChengWang (成王),and then refers to him as her older brother (皇兄)! I thought that was supposed to be a reveal later, but it was actually laid out right there!
I was trying to deny the fact that Shijie has a crush on A'Li, even though it's common back then for cousins to marry each other. Still, as far as Shijie know, A'Li is Jiang Li, his cousin, his family, not someone who he should consider marrying. It's just weird to me, even though C-Drama is common for close family/close family friends to marry each other, like (Ruyi and HongLi from Ruyi's Royal Love). As I'm watching the recaps and the shows, there's something that I was hoping that the show will answer soon, which is how does Duke Su seems to know so much about A'Li. The fact that Duke Su know her nickname is surprised because that's suppose to known within family and friends. There is one scene in earlier episode where two of them eat and Duke Su happen to said the things that remind A'li of her family. Could be a coincidence, but I'm not so sure since he seems to be quite calculating person. An interesting scene and kind of funny is when A'Li asked Shen to teach her, other wondered if she's interested in him, when in fact they were spouse. Shen Yun immediately told them to shut off. It's bit fun to see Shen family lose their family and be terrified every time they see A'Li.
He knows who she is but I guess he doesn’t really care??? He doesn’t want to expose her but he does want to know where she’s going with this fake identity thing It’s like he’s watching a tv show in real life
The second Li brother fainting after A’Li’s win and him saying he hasn’t given his father any grandchildren yet so he can’t go always tickles me.. u going to be a monk not eunuch, being a monk that cant be undone, while becoming a eunuch not so much 🤣.. Also no comment on the emperors obv mommy issues takings his Daddy’s consort as his own 🤔
I was wondering since Consort Li was Madam Ji's sister and assumed she might be a little old based on her looks? I kinda just brushed it off, your comment made me go ohhhh, didn't expect the emperor to take his own father's consort hhh
@ yea apparently everyone raised crap at the time but is too scared to comment on the obv ick factor now and like during the banquets one of the random kids there says she looks younger than his mom so the emperors action make sense.. I mean what can u do 🤷♀️
You're right and I literally use the same phrase later (mommy issues) when I finally figure it out lol. I missed the side conversation about it(between the boys at the banquet), and when I saw her just thought it was another weird casting choice 😭
Just started watching this drama myself so I could get all the juicy details before watching your reviews lol. Yu’e probably is just desperate to prove that she’s just as good as Ruoyao and can’t fully comprehend that YanBang is terrible and isn’t worth going after :(
That's awesome!! I always hope people will check out the actual show as well and it definitely makes for better discussion 😁 yeah I have to agree on Yu'e. The girl is 14, thinking emotionally is to be expected. Still though... Wow lol

Sad reoccurring trope in Asian dramas. The ladies must ALWAYS fight over one guy despite the fact most dudes in the same drama are all hot.

Awwww!!! Ling Yunche mention
Just finished the series, can't wait to hear your take on the ending :)
When Yu'e was caught and got knocked down and screamed, my hubs heard it and was like "Oh, that sounds bad." and I said "Yeah, they deserved it." 😅
SHE ABSOLUTELY DID lol, get some sense knocked into her 😭
0:46 If I remember correctly, the brother she's referring to here is actually King Cheng, not the Emperor, as King Cheng is guarding the borders and would be (innocently) interested in safety and security.

@3:53 is that concubine Xin from Zhen Huan?
Yep that’s her
Yes!
And the grandma is the Empress Dowager from ZH too - adorable seeing them in new roles.

so A'li knows that duke su knows that she is XUE Fangfei and they are not hidding it anymore?

It’s like he’s watching a tv show in real life
Pretty sure he knew from the moment they met, she has not been discreet lmao
