Getting to that point was like watching a slow motion train wreck. Wholly inevitable. All of the rest of us are back behind the fence screaming 'WTF are you doing? GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!'

In a way he was treating her as the pillar that he overheard her referring to when he eavesdropped.

...so basically he was treating her with the respect that she herself respects, no matter her talk of a stable (read: 'unremarkable') marriage...

I've watched the teasers up to this point, but right here and now I'm making a decision :

NO MORE!!

I'm gonna watch the full eps with fresh eyes and no spoilers in mind from here on in :)

I'm beginning to think the title refers to the relationship between mother and daughter.

So vast, yet so extremely distant that it's difficult to see in any close detail.

...

Wasn't quite sure that 'distant' was the precise word for it so looked up synonyms for 'distant'. So many can apply with differing but still applicable perspectives.

Ok, yeah, I'm gonna be rewatching that last episode at least 10 times.

The slo mo run up to the bridge was beauty in motion!

XDDDDD

I think mum will prevent the engagement with Lou Yao on the basis of the prior engagement since childhood with another general's daughter. Wouldn't want to step over the line into another general's personal territory. Would be inappropriate.

At least that's what I'm suspecting.

In ep 7 when Yuan Shen arrived to greet the old lady, CSS got up to leave, take a walk and have a swing ... leaving Cheng Yang and that Wang girl sitting near each other. Plus we're left with a shot of Cheng Yang drooling over the sight of Yuan Shen.

In the next ep Cheng Yang was supposed to have been escorted away by Qiqi, but somehow ended up having been thrown into the water by that same Wang girl.

Is Cheng Yang really as innocent and non-conniving as she seems...?

*Duh duh DAAAAAAAA*

Hidden plot conspiracy speculation corner:

On the rare occasion I have problems. It's usually internet traffic related. If I lower the resolution during those times it tends to fix the problem.

In Australia, not the USA, so possibly not the same problem.

Hundreds of actors, and they still needed cgi characters?

Kind of like wool?

Good to know by the way, my 'thing I learned today' :)

You need to beware based on your country's viewing restrictions. I've decided to end my wetv subscription because whenever they have a good drama it's usually only available for a short time via their site before they (it seems to me) on sell the drama's broadcasting rights by country to another company and I can no longer find it via their site. So really their subscription is only useful for the one or two things they haven't sold (I can only re-watch 'the King's Avatar so many times ;) ) and dramas newly released ... which end up being free to air elsewhere ... likely via Viki. So I wouldn't recommend.

I very much like the better structure of the iQIY site, but I haven't really been able to get much bang for my buck in series that I actually want to watch, so I've decided to end my subscription with them too.

There's always the option just to subscribe for, perhaps, 1 month out of every 6 or 12 and just catch up on all the series you want to watch in that 1 month rather than keep an ongoing subscription...

... however hot the cloaks would also afford some protection from heat radiation, which would be intense at that short distance.

Though I would think the fur might easily catch fire...

I'm really enjoying it. The characters feel real in their actions, and the actors are doing a great job ... though (puts on some padding for armor) Leo Wu seems to be over-acting a bit ... but on the upside that just makes his character pop a bit more in the viewer's eyes I suppose.

I get what you are saying about the mother, frankly I came to the comments section expecting other viewers to have this reaction to her. However to my mind as a character trying to best prepare her daughter to face the future, her actions and attitude ring true. Even the overly excessive discipline. I'm not saying I approve of her actions ... I'm saying simply that they ring true. Parents can sometimes be hardest on their children. And she's obviously over-correcting. She herself realises it. But if she gives way to her daughter, even for a moment, she knows her daughter will take that inch of give way and take it a mile.

So yeah, for me the character rings true. And I think the actress portraying her is doing a bloody brilliant job. Her microexpressions in the moment are wonderful.

Plus, so far, the dramatic crisis that pop up aren't stupidly inserted like you get in many a drama ... the plot so far has been reasonable ... as in the events and the character's reactions make sense.

Is your tolerance for the negatively dramatic a little low at the moment? Not saying you have low tolerance generally, sometimes we can be dealing with a lot of stress and watching a drama with a lot of clashes can be a little too much. Been there myself, I'm sure we all have. If that is your current situation can I highly suggest 'Chef Hua'. It's basically a food porn series disguised as a light drama in an ancient china setting. Very soothing ^^

Can anyone tell me if this is an original work, or based on a true story, or work of fiction?

Only up to ep 32, but, ok, had to comment, Si Ming as a fisherwife is transcendent. If that actor described this moment as the peak of his acting career I would totally agree without having any knowledge whatsoever of what the rest of his acting career is like. ^^
