Happy wrap day!! Look forward to seeing his hard work 👏 🎉

No not at all. In fact it’s quite watchable. I wouldn’t say it was a top tier show but for a smaller budget mini drama it’s oddly bingable. I was caught up in just one day!

This review title is so accurate.

I find this very mid tier on many technical and acting levels but i’m strangely drawn to it. You’re right it could be script and pacing that’s doing it.

Probably the most complex and interesting characters for me are the two spy characters. I enjoy any time they are on screen.

It’s a decent show to watch during a dry spell in usual content. Its not wow but it’s not awful. Just switch off your brain and you’ll be fine. Strangely bingeable compared to either mini dramas i’ve watched.

I laughed how the two guys went outta their way to help their emperor buddy when he was complaining about interruptions.

Ultimate “I got your back” move from the guys. Go team!

Awwww look at that Ning pair reuniting. Almost like they get a second chance yay! 🥹.

Yeah Im the same. Its been ages since I cried this much for a cdrama. A real masterclass acting performance that DX’s death I was actually balling my eyes out in pain and grief. I felt the loss and grief profoundly for He Simu and the ending at the end of ep 40 made the more sense to me and more satisfying if we are strongly following the laws of life and death being just a part of life and so him coming back as a little jellyfish by her side was so beautiful and tender and comforting in a way.

I am not over this pair yet and I will remember this show for a long time.

It’s utterly heartbreaking and his death broke me. I was a sobbing mess for ages. Kudos to the actors and creative team for the beautiful layered slow burn romance that packs such a punch at the end. You’re right it’s an unforgettable love story that will stay with me for ages.

Well said and completely agree - this story will stay with me for a long time

Me too 😭

I am not okay. Duan Xu’s death broke me. Like I was already a mess from the last few episodes but his last breath ripped my heart out. Even though I knew it was coming I wasn’t prepared to be that overwhelmed with grief.

I am now just staring at a wall processing the show. The ending was exactly as it needed to be and I will hold He Simu and Duan Xu’s love story with me for a long time.

Me: Well… we are down to one episode this week. What a great opportunity for you now to do life admin things - clean, gym, see friends and family or watch your other dramas you have paused. Then reward yourself with the new episode.
Also me: Let’s use the time to watch hours and hours of POJ clips and then let’s watch those clips again. Oh look - new episode!

I have to say that opening scene on the bridge in ep 17 is one the best directed and performed scenes I’ve ever seen. The tension, the passion, the longing. It was so atmospheric and very well written.

And then ep18 hit me so hard as the darkest point of the show - I knew something terrible had to happen for our FL to get to the next stage of the story but that Sui brother is just pure evil. That shot of him from behind so casual with spear over his shoulder - the director knows how to show villains and darkness as well as then switching to light and beautiful when that sun came out for FL and Mrs Zhao over the bridge.

This show is just blowing my mind how careful every shot and story beat is considered in this story.

‘I’m discussing the law with you, yet you’re set on framing me. If that’s the case, we’ll do it by my rules’
I want to see the moment the ML comes back with full force and strength to take down this so called ‘county magistrate’

If Pursuit of Jade is the standard I cannot wait to see more of what he can do with this show.

This show is fantastic and so pretty!! Strong script with perfect pacing, beautiful cinematography, skilled direction, spot on chemistry and a show that just makes your heart happy.
I am obsessed with this already and I get 35 more episodes of it. Every second is pure joy and I’m so glad it’s meeting my expectations.

100%!! 🥳

May this show envelop us all in snow and romance and adventure so that we don’t even realise weeks of our lives have passed.
May it have massive success and make new and old cdrama fans rejoice and celebrate together.And may our two leads carry us on a beautiful journey in working together and finding love.

I can feel it too. I think this will consume all my thoughts and my heart this month and I cannot wait for it! 🍿

Same! What I’ve read so far and if they keep most it - oh my gosh! Front row seat! 🥰

I am experiencing your journey right now with The Road to Glory which I cannot wait to see but in the meantime this show looks just absolutely beautiful and I will definitely be here every day to share the journey with everyone. 🍿 🥳 ⚔️ 🐖 ⛄️
