I decided to watch this movie after my recent trip down to the southern coast of South Korea, around Yeosu city and surrounding areas, where I kept stumbling upon these public historical displays of Admiral Yi — his statues, battle markers, memorials, and even a replica of his naval turtle warship vessel. It made me curious enough to finally watch the film.

@Liz Mathew - FSF is fine in this drama. He looks rather authoritative as Di Renjie, and his acting is quite good. i can't say much for his side-kicks though, especially the hyperactive guy - LOL. I binge-watched until episodes 14, and I find the drama to be entertaining.

I know what you mean. I recognise this actor Li Yu quite well because in the C-dramas I've watched, he always play such annoying, obnoxious, over-the-top characters. I assumed he was an extra and he over-acted so that he gets some attention from the audiences. I am surprised that the directors don't blacklist him at all....LOL.

Why did they cut down a 40 episodes to 25 episodes? Will there be a Season 2 since this drama has S1 as part of the title?

FSF in The Legend of Zhuohua was terrible. He looked like a dirty old man trying to date the young and naive FL... LOL. I dropped the drama after a few episodes. I hope he is better here because I really liked him in Story of Minglan

I hope this drama is better than their previous ones.

I actually liked this drama than I thought I would. I started it when I had nothing good C-dramas or K-dramas to watch at the time. I went in with no expectations, hoping for a good crime-solving action-thriller drama with 3 main guys (unknown actors to me). In the end, I enjoyed this drama and I was hoping for a Season 2.....LOL

Is Liu Xie Ning the actress who played the bitchy 1st step-sister in The Double? Hmmmm

I believe that No Happy Ending is a standard requirement for most Chinese Dramas....LOL. Maybe they believe that like real life, the Chinese dramas that shows Slice of Life should be realistic - there is no such thing as Happy Ending or Happily Ever After.

Where can I watch this drama with good English subtitles? I like the main actress and I want to see more of her in historical dramas

Oh! I love this drama "Nothing Gold Can Stay". Even though it has so many episodes but the story is so engaging and very interesting. I was never bored. Reminded me of The Story of Ming Lan. This reminds me also that this "The Heir" may be similar to "Nothing Gold Can Stay". I hope this will have a better happy ending.

Tell me about it. I always read lots of comments about the beginning of the drama to be boring or slow or Where is the Romance? or Kisses or Hot Men? I want a proper telling of a good story or background so that we audiences can relate and enjoy the drama properly.

I am glad they lifted the 40 episodes rule because sometimes, a good drama need a bit more than 40 episodes, perhaps another max. 5 more to complete the story or happy ending. For example, Pursuit of Jade would have benefited with an extra 3 - 5 more episodes. LOL

Cannot wait for another Yang Zi drama - I love her in historical - costume dramas.

You’re correct. I also noticed that because some of the actors looked familiar. When I checked out their names, they are actors in popular short dramas. I’m glad they are given the chances to show their talents to more people

I used to eat Kopiko a lot when I was a University student, and this was like 40 years ago in the USA. Now it is funny I see it a lot in Kdramas....LOL

Since I didn't read the novel, I was also a little confused on first watch. But overall, I loved the drama so much; I re-watched it a few times and I finally understood the story/plots as a whole (I also read some sections of the novel). Since I took time to savor every scenes and special moments of the drama, I can confirm that it is one of the best dramas I have ever watched - taking into account everything - the acting, storylines, actions, cinematography, battle fights, etc., etc.

This neck bite was in the novel. I am mad they actually filmed it but didn't include it in the drama. WHY? WHY? So sad and mad !!

I agree with you that this POJ story about ChangYu should be equivalent to a real Legend of The Female General. When I watched ChangYu fights, I said to my self that "Now, this is how a Legend of a Female General is born". She was so determined and badass, and her fights were epic. I have watched TLOFG and I was not convinced that FL was a female general. So I dropped that drama instead.....Hahaha....

The Legend of Female General.
