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.

I agree, and I am glad that he is self-aware that his good-looks may hinder his career and he is serious about his craft and profession. I am glad he is not cocky or arrogant (I hope so!!) and he wants a healthy professional relationship with his fans. He reminds me of Brad Pitt who was super handsome in his youth and fans would swoon at his good looks instead of focusing on his good acting. I hope ZLH will continue to make good dramas and movies in the future, and ignore the criticisms of toxic jealous anti-fans.

I finally finished this wonderful drama and I really really wish that they added at least 5 more episodes because the last few ones felt rushed. There were so much secrets revealed, the fights at the palace could have been better and longer, and the alternate universe ending could have been longer for it to be better. I wish they could make a BlueRay DVDs with Director's cut and extended version (like they did with the Lord of the Rings) and I will be more than happy to buy it...LOL

Wow. You explain it really well. Great summary of a complex drama 😅😅

I read that all the episodes are out because they were leaked. I will continue to stay and wait for the real released episodes, just for respect to all that made this wonderful drama come to liife. Does that make sense? Seriously, some people have no scruples/morals and just went ahead to leak all the remaining episodes and put them on illegal streaming sites.

thank you!

I don't have Mango TV. Where else can I watch this?

After watching and dropping several historical C-dramas last year and beginning of this year, finally I found one that I just can’t get enough of. This new drama is exciting and addictive. I hope the momentum will last until the end! LOL 😆

What a strange but beautiful and haunting movie

Finally Season 2 will be here. I hope that they will show a proper wedding for the main couples. In Season 1, their wedding was either rushed or non-existent, and I felt they were robbed of their happiest day. I really love this drama (one of those rare ones where the story and characters are all interesting), and the chemistry between the leads are wonderful. I will rewatch Season 1 again (for the Nth time) and looking forward to Season 2. Hopefully it will be good.

Where can I watch this except for Viki? Is it on any of the Chinese streaming platform like iQiyi or Tencent or Youku? Or Netfilx?

Where can I watch this? I saw some clips on TikTok and they look interesting. I really like food-base dramas and discovering other world's cuisines
