Ratings, schmatings.POJ is a great show that most people are watching on IQIYI, it seems.Even though POJ hasnt…
And Tencent/weTV. Even if the list is for non-English dramas, it's the 1st cdrama that makes it in the top 10 on Netflix. It's a bonus, not the target.
1. He was an orphan, became servant in the Wei household, was named Wei Qilin and ended up fighting for general Meng (and married his daughter) 2. Happy ending for main leads 3. Yes, but short duration since he cannot live without her. Breakup should happen some time between 2nd episode on Saturday and first episode on Sunday and they make up on Monday. Story-wise, it's a month or so 4. There were small changes to make the story more engaging for the audience mostly involving other characters, but the spirit of the novel was preserved. The ML is nicer in the drama.
It would be nice if we saw a flashback, but I can't imagine he'd go there before running to (do what he believed…
The other elements regarding the battle are from the novel, so it would not stray from the original. In the previews he looks a little too clean to have engaged in battle though...
I was just re-reading the chapters we are on and XZ fought with the vanguard, killing the other Shi guy. Will we get a flashback of his battle or did they skip this in the drama? The other Shi guy needs to die too...
I would have preferred him to tell her the truth and save all this extra BS drama.
When she tells him that the distance between their stations is insurmountable, she tell him a story of a widowed tofu seller who married a wealthy man who then cast her out after a few years. "Xie Zheng’s expression turned cold: “That man simply changed his heart.” Fan Changyu said, “I used to think so too, but my mother said that people from different paths, even if they come together for a while, will eventually part ways. It’s like someone choosing a common stone from a pile of gold and jade treasures. The world pities him for his choice, while the chosen stone is both envied and deemed unworthy. What they don’t realize is that the one who chose the stone can always go back and choose gold and jade, but the stone will never have another chance to be chosen. That’s how it was for the tofu seller. When the young master liked her, she was better than any noble lady. When he stopped liking her, she was no different from any tavern maid or tea house girl.”"
First time I encountered such a physically strong FL and actress. I can already feel the strength in her from…
She is smart, but uneducated and sometimes naive due to her age and limited experience. But she does have business acumen - how many young girls would sell their valuables to have capital to start a business to support herself and others? And find incentives to make customers choose her shop?
In the novel she explains that most people don't know how to cook offal and if she gave braised offal as freebies, she could use that as advertisement when she begins selling them for profit, and it will also make her broth stand out, as she was using quality ingredients, so people will be willing to buy more expensive braised pork meat from her.
She is the jade from the title, an unpolished one, as the marquis observes at one point.

It's in the novel. Frankly, it would have never passed her mind that she could find glory on the battlefield and become his equal if she hadn't killed the enemy general. And becoming his equal partner is a very important part of her story and that discussion about the stone, gold and jade could be one of the most memorable in a cdrama.
Its not even available on Netflix in most european countries
You are right. The drama has over 100 million views per day because people open their iqiyi/wetv daily to watch 1 second of the new episode. It's not like it has a rating of 8.8 on weibo and 9.2 on mdl. I will stop responding to you, it makes no sense to continue the discussion when you haven't watched more than 1 episode.
People were dragging the budget of the drama and the "substandard" special effects and fight scenes ... and then came this episode. I felt shivers down my back twice while watching this show - the first time was the massacre of Lin'an and the second time was the last part of the episode from today. The director did a great job filming these scenes, when I was watching, it was like I was immersed in the action and the horror, and felt the adrenaline and the need to fight to survive no matter what. Absolutely thrilling!
