Probably plot required, otherwise it would have been difficult to put him into a female general tent to sleep with. :) It was cute by the way.

With 8.4 - compared to many series - this drama is seriously underrated. While I mainly agree with Kilo's (below) overall opinion like believable young and fragile-looking female generals... you know - this story has become one of my biggest favorites in the top 5-6 during the years or so. Emotionally it is really heavy and very well made / played, I can feel with them, I could live "in the story". ML is just phenomenal, I share the same view with Kilo, I loved him most as Prince Annian in the forth part of the story, while he was also very good as the "nice guy next door", he has a sort of edge not to waste, when he is serious that hits. I also liked the FL, among those female generals I happend to watch in dramas, she was the best (most believable) so far. The story was a beautiful tale, bit reminds me to Lost You Forever, that almost unbereable struggle between love and loyalty/responsibility. The man in the role of black magician is also a huge favorite of mine, no matter what he plays - and he played very different characters in different dramas - he is also great and ads a spice to the whole. The mentally sick and evil emperess was aslo very well played. Surely will rewatch from time to time, there was not a really boring moment to skip.

It was a very good show thank you to all who participated. The roles fit perfectly to the actors / actresses, especially to the leads. Bai Lu always good but this role felt somehow so well fit, same with ML. I've just realized that I don't need so much romance, a clever enough plot and interesting story is more important and I am satisfied with little (but beliavable) romance. Was so good not to have "let's shop together" or "let's watch the firework together" endless cheesy stuff.

In the novel they (both of them) are often compared to jade like their face, figure, skin, etc as if jade would mean something like beautiful, clean, clear, noble. Just my thoughts.

He is cruel enough and sadistic in the novel, in almost every intimate scenes he bites the woman and she also bites the man instead of kissing. Hopefully the series won't follow this and hopefully they kept the falcon as it was the funniest little creature in the novel, a bit similar as funny-level to Xiang Liu's bird.

Kunning Palace. Hidden identity, many wish to kill him, grey, clever, calculating and cruel enough.

She appeared very shortly in the 17th , 30:44 as a technician of medicine, just a couple of sentences. UPDATE, she was on screen a lot, later. Wish I could see her again in a bigger role, main role. She is great. Loved her as spoiled princess who matures in Lost You Forever. Also was great in Moonlight Mystic, in that show the second leads left more impression than the mains.

Thanks so much. I watched the first, good director and I like the actress (since The Wolf), I haven't watch the second, will go for it when I am bored. :)

True but the drama itself was not satifsying, to me at least. I wouldn't rewatch but yes, Bai Lu was very good as 'crippled' young girl. Moonlight Mystic was boring to me, I kept up only beause of the second leads, imo the problem was the ML there and the missing edge /charisma of his. Till the End of the Moon was full with plothols and unbeliavable silly stuff, even Bai Lu couldn't save it from that idol-edge it had.

You're welcome. :) When there is nothing to watch good enough to keep up my interest, I rewatch Kunning Palace and Lost You Forever, two big favorites in the past 1-2 years.

Can't believe I didn't recognize Dai Lu Wa. She is one of my favorites. Will she appear later or I missed her, I am around the 7th ep. Sorry, I can't remember to chinese names, especially that writing and pronouncing is very different, can't identify her based on the character' name.

Do it! While BL is a versitale actress, her best fitting roles and best series were 1. Kunning Palace, 2. Legends. The Kunning Palace is similarly well written, no plot holes, clever, intelligent drama with good actors all along, if you like this one you'll like that one, too.

This drama is very good. Both of the leads are so perfect in their roles, so well fit to them.
So far I found just one part what shouldn't be there - little spoiler - blue contact lenses at that age, really? Absolutely minor, the cases are clever and super interesting, hooked. :)

Still enjoying it because of the leads and second leads, but getting confused not only because the story is a bit difficult to understand with the fast eng sub (often not time enough to read it) but because of the genre. Too much tragedy with too much comedy mixed. After a tragedy I don't feel like laughing on a "hot-pot" scene or similar. Also with those little parts of cute-to-be cartoons like the start or now at the 3/4 part (the diary) - it just doesn't suit. If they would leave out those meant-to-be-funny parts it would be a perfect drama.

I saw ppl complaining because of the acting of both leads, I can feel for them, how do you jump from tragedy to comedy acting just in seconds or almost. It is a weird mix. Normal ppl are (hopefully) not as shallow and emotion-less that can laugh and make jokes just after this or that dies. What a waste.

He hasn't got a "so hot" charisma but he has a "so professional" charisma, he is perfect for this role.

Couldn't agree more. Finally an intelligent drama.

Well worth, finally a drama where we are not suspected to had a lobotomy before watching it. :)

Finally, while there is no romance so far (I like it if it is not overwhelming), the story is intelligent, full of suprises, the costumes and vision is second to none. Thank you, I was so absolutely bored with silly romance and bad humour disguised as funny and romantic for targeting the 10 yrs old. This is different so far, and I love it as it keeps me at the screen, thinking and waiting what will happen.

So what? If you can't raise and keep interest you failed.

Even if it is a fiction it is still propaganda, while I have no advers feelings toward Chinese I noticed that they are the best (brainwashed) slaves ever. Communism - talking about the Russian around the beginning of the previous century - made people (children and parents) to report each others, to elmininate groups to make even family members to a spy and doom.

Allow me to be honest, while I chose to watch some Chinese dramas - being disusted by Holy(pedo)wood I am not a sleeping one with 60 IQ.
No virus ever was properly isolated and proven to cause thing, but as - very sadly because I really like them - big thanks for the work enteraining me - are absolute, born to be slave , brainwashed...

Yep, enjoy your digital slavery - till then A BIT THANK YOU for keeping me entertained.
