Ok...This drama is the definition of a throwback. It is back to the 80s and the 90s when the Chinese martial arts…
This strange 1980/1990s throwback was in filmed in the modern days of 2017... LOL
Filming took place in Hengdian World Studios, Yunnan, Xinjiang, etc. Filming lasted around four months from June 2017 to October 12, 2017. Following Legend of Jade Sword, it is the second high fantasy costume drama by Beijing Joy Eastern. There are many crossovers from the costume, the props, the set design and the special effects (Or the complete lack of...) as both have the same production team.
Fun Facts: For both Peter Sheng and Olivia Wang, it is the most fighting that they've done for a production. They tried to avoid using stunt doubles as much as possible and insisted to do their own fighting scenes. Yeahhhhh... They both should have used stunt doubles and air cables/wire fu. Their fight choreography sequences are among the worst that I have seen since the 1980s.
I was seriously on the verge of tearing my hair out when she screwed up with using the failed assassination as…
This is strange. I found the FL interesting at the beginning of this drama; however now, with her constant lies... Her materialistic ways... And her crude disposition... Her character has become a turnoff for me. The ML has also become a rather pathetic mush compared to his strong and decisive persona from the beginning. He is supposed to be a great general with a profound tactical and strategic background. But by episode 17, he has become a pitiful-weak-imbecile of a lover-boy.
I am not getting any chemistry between the 2 of them. The only 2 characters that I still find interesting are that imbecile’s parents.
I am on the verge of dropping this side-story-cdrama-filler.
The world is going to s...t but Qingcheng is growing flowers.
The only 2 characters with a functional brain within the protagonist side are loosing it right now: Qingcheng is having an identity meltdown... And The crowned prince is acting more and more reckless...
As for Qin Wentian... Well, he is still an idiot with some kind of martial art/magical skills that hardly work.
The only and most satisfying thing so far was when Bai Qiu Xue cut off Ye Wu Que’s manhood. Oh, that felt good... I wished she was skilled enough to remove all his cultivation and sever all his inner energy.
Same thoughts with you. I guess I'd better watch The Lost Tomb 2.
No, no, no. Let me clarify that. I loved the voice but not that male lead.
My favorite character was the whimsical and ambiguous prince; heir to the female assassin’s head quarter. His character had so many more layers than the rest of the cast. I just wanted to peel them away, one by one... So very slowly;)... Dude looked hot when he had his hair all tight up... And dude looked like a hotter version of Ye Hua when he had his hair down...
Same thoughts with you. I guess I'd better watch The Lost Tomb 2.
Royal Nirvana was just erratic and insensitive.
Bloody Romance was bearable. More than bearable. It had one of my favorite entering OST of all time. I probably loved the entering OST more than the drama itself. Hahaha... Oh yes, the voice dubbing on the male lead or was it his own voice? IDK? It was like silk. So sensual.
But as always, it was unfinished. I thought there were discussions for a second season???
Same thoughts with you. I guess I'd better watch The Lost Tomb 2.
Indeed, you are stronger than me.
I had enough of fruitless, intense and vicious tragedy with Royal Nirvana. Which I dropped like it was hot! The supposedly lead couple are not even on my list of favorites. The only good thing that came out of that misery of a drama was Zheng Yecheng.
I am not going to ruin those beautiful, radiant and effervescent images of Cheng Yi and Crystal Yuan by this train wreck, Promise of Chang'An.

I forgot about this one.
I completely agree with you too.

Poor thing was burned out... Lol
There is no brotherly love or kinship between the brothers.
I swear if I didn’t know that he was a legitimate younger son of their parents, I would have thought that he is the son of a concubine or something...
I don’t know why all those side-story-cdrama-fillers always make the younger brother’s characters sort of unlikable.
Through and through.
They don’t make them like that.
Oh yeah, that is why Si Feng is fictional and Xianxia...
Bummer!
I was intrigued by this poster even before L&R was released.
So whimsical...
You will be so mad later for not watching it right away...
LOL
Is not amusing at all.
Other than that, interesting storyline with decent actors and actresses.
He is SPECIAL...
(Not the good kinds)
LOL...

I call them the “Side-story-fillers.”
Almost like Princess Agents.
No problem.
Great objective comment.

No, No thank you...
