Lady Musashi

I must admit that this drama was mostly not for me. I was constantly oscillating between dropping it and obsessing about the next episode. The episodes often left be exhausted like I was being tortured together with the characters. And there were SO MANY CHARACTERS and they were TORTURED! While the actors were very good, the only character that elicited major emotional response was You Chi, the little weasel. ;_;
The ending was not bad, but it left me oddly empty. I don't think I'll ever re-watch this drama again. It is not fair to compare, but most of these actors were in the Fangs of Fortune as well and I re-watched that drama several times. It always made me happy even with the open ending (taking the special episode into account). It'll take some time for the impressions to fully settle with VoS, mostly I am unhappy that I didn't like it more. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Inquisitive minds want to know - Who is more tragic couple: Ji Ling and the nine-tailed fox or Wu Shiguang and the nine-tailed fox?

Well, Chi Wen is cool, but he's no Zhu Yan - that man was embodiment of aura farming. I can re-watch "do what you are best at" scene indefinitely. 😉

This drama is headache inducing - I lose interest one episode and then in the next they reel me in, then I lose interest, they reel me in and so on, and so on... I don't think I've ever watched drama that made me want to fall asleep and then dying to see the next episode. Is this what schizophrenia looks like?

Well, the actor is the same. :)

No on both, you just have to have patience because they are separated for the first four-five episodes (after the rebirth).

Then, I am not sure you'll like this. But, try a couple of episodes to see, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Blossom is excellent, Vail of Shadows watchable so far, easy on the eyes, but I am not really enamored. Maybe it will grow on me like Fangs of Fortune did.

Finished Blossom, started Veil of Shadows.

I've seen all available episodes now and the drama is watchable, esthetic is on point, actors are pretty, the story though... I am still not feeling it. Lets see if it can catch up to Fangs of Fortune in terms of character development. I will keep watching cause it's not a bad pastime.

Li Jie being a long suffering friend to his dumb, younger friend, lol.

I's pretty good, but POJ is better, the characters are better especially Fan Changyu, but the couple is cute and build each other up. I'm guessing it will be a comfort watch for me. If you finished POJ, Blossom would be easy. Just know that the couple is separated for the first four-ish episode after the rebirth.

I watched the trailers and half the cast of Fangs of Fortune is in it. Well, at the very least, the drama will be pretty to look at. 😉

Thank you. :)

Is this based on the novel?

I finished Blossom. It helped marginally with POJ withdrawal. What are people watching now?

Picked this up after Pursuit of Jade ended because it was recommended to me and it didn't disappoint. I liked the couple a lot. Drama was a of of fun, I guessed the main villain early on, but also missed some obvious clues. All in all, it was a lot of fun.

I binged half the drama Blossom to deal with POJ withdrawal and while I like it, it's just not the same. ;_; *sniff*

Sorry, it's currently 6.6.

6.9 which is criminally low.
