I know, love ZY and CL and really hope they get a lot of great roles together as a CP another time and in other dramas with others. They look great in these traditional costumes too!

For the most part it is accurate, he was shrewd, manipulative and knew how to get what he wanted. He does not become this obsessive in the novel..he backs off after the leads get married..the drama decided to play that angle up here for dramatic effect, since they eliminated an entire character set of the emperor's sons fighting for the throne that comes after the HRF expose.

Basing this off of small clips, since I can only watch these gold episodes later today...I honestly dont care if CZ goes bats*** crazy; the leads love each other, they will overcome anything. If the makers think its evoking sympathy..its not working..like how many hints do you need dude? The preview for 33 was also interesting..HY almost appeared like she wanted CZ to back off and felt like he was being a leech there...

I love that you said it this way, he is also described exactly like this in the novel and CL portrayed him perfectly! Hard to top that!

A novel adaptation is always going to draw criticism so it's hard to get it right. The drama despite the delays and the scandals of the actor in it, face swapping all that..I think it's done remarkably well. It's all thanks to the good acting and chemistry of the leads. If they continue to do well, and get better roles, I think that would be considered a success in my view.

Lot of people felt this way, my interpretation was different. She thought she killed the general, she did thrust a sword through. Then it was despair that set in, the thought that the one and last person who cared for her left her. The novel also has a scene like this albeit in a different battle, but that's how I interpreted it.

Yes, I actually am feeling for the next dramas of CL, at least ZY has a bit of a gap before the next release...no offense to any of the other FLs, I'm sure they are just fine, these 2 just look great together!

Oooh, one more observation, the ladies in Rundu are definitely making HY's wedding dress, thats why they said what they did. XJ's master and that long lost embroidery woman are not making an appearance :)

lol, that was funny!

I agree with you - I liked the show a lot and dont give much store to the ratings. I have watched shows with way lower ratings and liked it and also watched shows with very high ratings and not liked it - so I think everybody will have their opinions and tastes, its all good!

I might be one of the few; but I watched episodes 26-27 fully. I think we need to see the villains at least this much to appreciate the vengeance she seeks. Specially He Rufei and Minister Xu. Pingting's angle will be the one to being CZ down I feel and I think she will expose HY (as opposed to Shen Muxue in the book) in front of the emperor - but he will already know cause XJ has told him before. That part I hope it plays out exactly the same from the novel. I also liked that she showed Rufei's obsession with power and hating HY for it. The actor playing CZ needed to show more expressions for me to feel his pain - but he is a bit bland and as a result - it feels forced. I cant even feel his love for HY - when XJ looks at HY - he looks smitten and you can tell that he loves her. XZ's brother and SIL are so well matched, the actress playing Rongwei is really pretty! The maid is going to die; how exactly I dont know..

I agree, the leads are so good on screen; you cannot get enough of them. I hope the drama Gods give them another show together. PS: ZY has amazing chemistry with all her MLs.

That change from the novel was super cute and funny! Loved it!

As you read the novel, you will come across the pages where she actually does do that, albeit in Jiyang instead of Rundu. I dont view it as romantic necessarily, I view it as despair, like she thought the one and only person who actually cares about her left. I also thought the actors' expressions conveyed that - but again, understand your POV.

There is something about the chemistry these 2 created for this drama! CL has another drama releasing soon, I hope their chemistry clicks too, it's going to be a tough act to follow. ZY at least has a bit of a gap before her next release.

I know it was so well done! Sometimes like others said, we dont need them kissing to have chemistry, their battle scenes evoke it..they need another drama together for sure! I hope someone makes it!

its pure torture waiting for the episodes. As a fan of ZY, im just so happy I can watch these again and again, until her next drama arrives!

Exactly what I wrote in my post too; she thought she killed the commander and THEN allowed herself to breakdown...

Im gasping for breath at today's episode..can they just release everything please! I thought the battle was really well done and for anyone complaining that she just ignored killing the Wutuo general..she thought she had killed him - she put the sword through him and then he went into the smoke - at least that is how I viewed it. She then gets overwhelmed with emotion..I LOVE the leads' chemistry even in their battle scenes, I think they just look like they are dancing with swords, the fight choreo has been really well done...you just want to see more, I wish they had more episodes..I think they had to cut quite a bit. I loved how everyone wants He Yan - XZ, YH, CZ, Li Kuang and others...she is truly something and worthy of praise, ZY as HY has played her very well. I loved her posture and her demeanor in from of Feinu and ZY now that they know who she is. Even if CZ plays weirdo, they will prevail. I just hope we get some lovey moments before the drama starts between CZ and XZ.

Any chance of express?
