    @Auniyshi S  I have not watched "Secret Of The Kingdoms".  Was it good?  Actually I did Not watch as many dramas as you all.  Because I'm "choosy".  Sometimes, I tried for a few minute or eps and then gave up.  Everybody complimented "The Story Of Rose & Tiger". I tried 6x.  Cannot catch on. I find it too flimsy - no solid story. Don't like the actress either.

     

    I also gave up "Under The Power". Also tried many times because of the praises.

     

     

     

     

    @celebrianna  Answering your question individually like this does not really throw light to the whole plot, which is more twisted, complicated.

     

    1) 2nd Prince:  He is the man who is controlling everybody, leading them on a wild goose's chase - the Puppet Master.  He is not favoured by the Emperor because his mother is from a lower class.  So he is being resentful of his father and everyone.    He wanted revenge; he wanted the Throne.  So he sabotage everybody:

     

    - he was the one who engineered the assasination attempt on the 3rd Prince Zidan. Thus sowing the seeds of distrust between the Emperor and the Queen.  Both the Emperor and the Imperial Consort (Zidan's mother) thought the Queen planned the assasination to prevent Zidan from challenging the throne.

     

    - in this Story, it is a common notion among everyone that, the Ladies from the Wang Clan are the Emperor-Maker:  "Get Her And You Get The Entire Universe".  Because there are already 12 Queens from that clan. 

     

    - that is why the Queen planned for the Crown-Prince to rape Princess Wang Xuan. Both the PM and his sister the Queen wants Princess Wang Xuan to marry the Crown Prince - continues the tradition of being Queen.  So that the Wang Clan stays influential.

     

    But again was thwarted by the 2nd Prince.  He have the Switch made.  So the Crown Prince raped the Imperial Consort's niece, Zidan's (3rd Prince) sister - Xie Wan Ru instead. 

     

    Aim:  So that both the Wang and Xie Clan does not get what they want, the Throne, the Power. The Wang Family does not make another Queen.  The Xie Family does not get General Xiao Qi as their son-in-law. And start to plot against each other.  Intensifying the Enmity among the Emperor, Queen and the PM. Leaving the coast clear for himself (the 2nd Prince) to ascend the throne.

     

    2) The Deaf & Mute Taoist Priest who is the Confidante of the Emperor is Neither deaf nor mute. He is the PM's man.  Planted there to learn of the Emperor's every thought and move. Brilliant isn't it?

     

    3) The PM: Since he couldn't get his daughter to become Queen, he went for the Next Best Choice.  Which is General Xiao Qi. He wanted to retrieve the "Imperial Tiger's Seal" which is the Military Seal.  Whoever possesses it has Absolute Power over the Entire Military Force.  And this Seal is with General Xiao Qi.   Interesting, isn't it?

     

    4) Princess Wang Xuan:  Another reason why she married the General - is to save Zidan's life.  But also another excuse concorted by the Queen to get her marry the General.  In other words the Queen is helping her brother. (Which is why General Xiao Qi told Princess, she is a Pawn of both the Queen and the PM)

     

    5) 3rd Prince Zidan: He chose Revenge over Love. That is why he didn't turn up to elope with Princess Wang Xuan.  He later changed his mind. But too late. It showed that he is quite a soft person.  Not that wise and decisive as the General.  So I'm glad the Princess (as I would for any lady) got the General instead.

     

    6) Xie Wan Ru (Zidan's sister the one who married the Crown Prince): She thought Princess Wang Xuan has betrayed her brother.  So she turned Spiteful.  I don't like the Princess's maid who easily went for Zidan.  I don't like this kind of plot. So these 2 ladies will become Princess Wang Xuan's arch enemies 

     

    I also don't like plots where Men binged-drink when they are upset and then made love to the wrong ladies.  It happened here with Zidan.  So I don't sympathise with him anymore.

     

    7) The Emperor:  He was the one who planned the Kidnapping of Princess Wang Xuan. To thwart the PM's plan.  Frightening isn't it?  The emperor loves the Princess so much.  But will not hesitate to hurt/sacrifice her when needs arise.  His Hatred for the PM outstriped his Love for Princess Wang Xuan.  Again, the Princess became someone's else Pawn

     

    So the only People Worth Admiring In The End Are:  Princess Wang Xuan and General Xiao Qi. Couldn't wait for the ensuing developments.....

     

     

    In which episode did you find out that the emperor planned the kidnapping of WX? I thought he had been unconscious for a while!

  2. I was not part of the discussions here, but as a soompier, I wanted to come to this thread to say that I LOVED this drama! For me it is the best drama of 2020. It never disappointed me (except that I adored the second lead) but I knew who the main leading couple was from the beginning. I thought it was very inspiring about to really follow your dream and not to be afraid to take risks! The last episode was excellent, it was so moving. I cried a lot especially the scenes between JP and the grandma and the 3 guys saying goodbye to their old place. Such a great and motivating show! It has been such a pleasure spending my Saturday and Sunday mornings watching this amazing drama!

    @hell59 @Lmangla That man with the kid in the preview was the man YR hired to be her fake father at the family meeting when she met SJ's family (before she got married to SJ) back in Episode 31. Since he no longer has to pretend to be YR's father anymore, he's most likely walking with his actual son. So, maybe SJ will figure that out soon?

     

    Here's the screencap from Episode 31:

     

    Thank you for the info!

  4. This is by far my favorite Chinese drama! I absolutely LOVED it! The acting was perfect and the leading couple had such incredible chemistry that I became a fan of both actors! I will be looking forward to their future dramas. Bai Lu is in "Jiu Liu Overlord" but the leading actor there is NOT at the level of Luo Yun Xi. I remember in 2013-2014, the Korean drama "You Who came From The Stars" was such a success in China and the minister of culture said at the time that he couldn't see why the Chinese would not be able to make a drama like that. For me, finally, this was it! This drama was the one that captivated my attention completely. I was waiting anxiously for each episode and enjoyed very minute of it and I will be re-watching it! I also fell in love with the dog. For the Mandarin speakers out there, what is the name of the dog? I see the translation as being Wealth, but when I googled that, another word, sound came up. Thank you!

  5. I just watched this drama! It is a complete home run! Amazing first episode, it made me cry and also very curious of what's going to happen next! I REALLY like the 2nd lead and his looks! The story was so interesting and the relationship with the grandma was very moving! Finally after a dry period of very uninteresting and depressing k-dramas, this one is shining like a bright star! I am on for the ride! Great job TVN and Netflix!

    Wahwah....that preview from @tiMadam, did CY meet her future man?? (I am guessing since I don't understand Korean). Wah....at least she can get a happy ending even if it's not shown.

     

    I am confused, what is the importance of NH saw the family portrait of the Yoon family after she put YJ to bed? And didn't GJ-JS's dad passed away so long ago when they were little kids so how do they have a picture with GJ & JS looking so grown up (pretty much same as now)?? Was my memory/impression wrong?

     

     

    I am glad you pointed it out. It was definitely mentioned in a previous episode that the dad had passed away when they were kids, so I was wondering about the same thing. What's up with the family portrait?

    I am betting the writer is going to pull a fast one and show HJH dragging his bags at the airport, ( we still don't have an airport scene and a time leap) then as his flight is called, ED and EC come huffing and puffing, calling his name. Then she will cry - Park's forte- it has been Ji Hoon all along, she has mistaken gratitude for love for TI. 
     

    Making HJH leave then TI wed ED seems too straight forward for this writer. 

     

    I am betting SJ gets her man. They have made her funny and truly remorseful for what her family did to ED.

    If the writer wishes to really end it with a real WTH, we will see TI coming out of his office and telling his secretary that she's done a great job with the XX contract. He is buying her dinner. The woman turns and it turns out to HM all dolled up. 

    oh what the heck. Just end it.

    It sounds about right!

    :surprisedwut:what the heck?? TI pushed ED and EC out of the way and he stood still in front of the WTOD. 
    He was bleeding from the head, looks like congealed blood. It gave Park Hana the chance to show off the many ways she could cry. CJH is being questioned lord knows how many times. :lol:

    Get this, TI almost died at the hospital, had a heart attack, revived by doctor and ED's pleading words, don't know to the Almighty or her father.

    His hair was inplace even after all the trauma, 

    and the preview shows him interrogating CJH!

    :loolz:

     

     

    Thank you for voicing my thoughts! TI has heart failure in one moment and the next he is touching ED's hand and fully awake! Only in K-dramaland! That poor man has suffered enough. I hope the writers give him some happiness with ED!
