Tang Lian is back?

if you want 邪 then Zhou Xun is the best, I agree.

The only cast I like is Bao Shang En. She is cute as a button.

They and their son die in battle fighting against overwhelming odds defending Song Empire from an invading army. Only their daughters survived.

Just found out this is actually the sequel to Ancient Love Poetry. That's why the world back story sounded sooo familiar.

Bro really confessed and went back to cooking

Best drama free drama. No stress, no tension, works solely on the chemistry of the leads.

Probably because it has the same writer, so maybe unrelated but same universe.

Watch this again after you have grown a little older and become a mother. Your perception might change.

There is also the brilliant contrast with the Empress and Niao Niao, the Empress and her own daughter.

There is no plot in this series. Rather its a series of skits based on a family with 2 sisters of opposing characters. The older being an over-achiever and the younger (Yang Chao Yue) being a useless layabout. Comedy with a bit of social commentary. Good for a short watch if you are a fan of Yang Chaoyue.

Listen, it was not my intention to trash on Immortal Samsara and heap praises on CLJ but your claims of 'water army' has no basis in reality at all. No expected much from CLJ. Dylan Wang's acting was scorned in Miss the Dragon and everyone (including me) expected to drop the show half way. Instead i found myself being drawn to every episode.
Cang Lan Jue(Love between Fairy and Devil) succeeded purely on word of mouth praises

Shrug. I was just answering the question asked by the original poster. Immortal Samsara has views but not the hype and thats the facts. None of which should color your enjoyment of it. I loved my fair share of trashy series myself.

Yes they do. Its just not the only thing that matters. But like I said, 5.9 is not low. Its respectable for an idol drama. It just didn't perform beyond expectation, considering the star power of the two leads and the production values.

Haha, there will always be new dramas. Side Story of Fox Volant is on now and its good wuxia but not exactly a romance. Song of the Moon and Love of Thousand Years is coming next.

5.9/10 on Douban. Not tooo bad (7ish is considered high) but not held up as one Yangzi's best work. Got overshadowed by Love between Fairy and Devil(which was a surprise hit) and Love like the Galaxy.

Not first responder, considering he leaves months at a time. More like an army wife of a soldier out on active duty overseas. Trust me, plenty of army wives cheat. Of course, plenty of soldiers cheat too,

That.. describes alot of K-drama's.
And no, Little Women was not about two families. Its about the Marches and how the sisters grew up (or didn't), how their dreams and their reality differed.
It kinda of does not work if they already adults.

None of them seems similar to the Book sisters at all. But they probably cut Beth or had her die early off screen.

They deadass removed one of the sisters. How is this based on Little Women at all? Hhaahaha. Its not even 'inspired' by the book, it just shares a name.
