oops, I guess i just read too much into it as it was listed under "the bad" paragraph. I'm glad it's pleasing enough! Looking forward to it

I had to snicker at the "great build up but bad finish" implications. Dont you just hate that?
Ive been on the fence about investing the hours for this but now I'm leaning towards it after i finish binge watching what we've got of song of glory. Thanks!

I loved every second of it up until the weird and off putting last episode. I'm totally planning on rewatching it, but without that. The soundtrack is fabulous too, that ending song is just absurdly sexy. That smirk of Zhao Yao's is just fabulous, and when she's prowling around her captive with that predatory look on her face? Priceless.
Thanks for the post, brought some happy nostalgia to my day <3

if you enjoyed having a refreshing kick ass female lead try https://kisskh.at/33890-song-of-glory which is currently airing. There's also https://kisskh.at/19464-princess-agents which is amazing but ends on a cliffhanger. Worth seeing even so. Both are available on viki

Yes! Someone who saw in Swordmaster what I did. With all the rabid fangirls of Lin GengXin because of Princess Agents out there I'm surprised this didn't get more attention. But then I guess this isn't the crazed follower type of movie. I absolutely loved the odd chemistry between GengXin and Ho YunTung , and the sword dancing was just dazzling, but it's the story that kept me watching.
I'm going to check and see if G@me and Hypnotist are available anywhere for me, they look interesting and I like cerebral dramas.

Joy is the one of the nicest things a person can give to another <3

Not negating what dani said but in addition to it

From the couple articles i read it's more a matter of that they opened it up to family viewing rather than keeping it for the originally targeted 18 and up (or whatever the next rank is) without the editing being double checked. But tbh I doubt it would even have made those waves if people weren't staying home and cranky with it.

Honestly, those gifs alone made me roll my eyes and snicker at the same time. I just can't even lol
I'm making a date with a bottle of soju and the first couple episodes of this one. ^,^ Some day soon when I really just need to relax my head. Thanks for the article and laughs!

My pleasure <3 I've been binging we are all alone for the past couple days lol it stays pretty damn good all the way through. And it isn't nearly as depressing as it sounds

Long lost sisters lol

And now I have a low key urge for pizza

I will sheepishly admit I play warcraft- like a boss- when it's not pre expansion downtime, but even then I miss my Asian dramas. It's so much more peaceful lol

*whispers* actually i think 7 is from romance is a bonus book? Or do they just have very similar scenes lol

Me too! \o/ And he's playing Elder Scrolls. See? So apt

https://kisskh.at/35251-we-are-all-alone - on iqiyi and https://kisskh.at/27234-le-coup-de-foudre - on viki. The first is adult with what looks like college flashbacks. (I'm watching it right now.) The second is half high school, and half adult years. Both are pretty damn good and it's kind of hard to find decent ones in c-drama land. There's also https://kisskh.at/30372-find-yourself -netflix if you don't mind/like noona romances. ^.^ Hope you don't mind me chiming in. <3

I loved this so much I shoved it in the face of the family members closest to me and immediately made them read it. (They're used to it. ) Let's face it, these and romance novel guys are the girl's version of p**** to us. They just fulfill that fantasy that we don't typically get otherwise.
I wrote the guy's version of this article in my head as I was reading it (my brain works like that) which I would post but I don't want to get banned. ^.^ How awesome is it that we can view ours in something other than a dark room with the door locked?

Extenuating circumstances but technically, yes.

...Weighs the idea against what she's seen of the censorship trolls.... i sense a total rewrite.

Hmmmm. About half of this show is about revolting against an oppressive regime. Somehow I don't think Beijing would embrace that right now. Just saying.
I vote for a Taiwanese remake. I would say Hong Kong but... well.
