Man! You guys all done now? I'm late to the party. Couldn't keep my eyes open last night. Need to re-watch the…
Yup, I'm pretty much done. After I write my review, will move on to the shows I put on hold just to chase this one.
Guess we'll all be meeting up again in Maiden Holmes and Qing Qing Zi Jin :)

While SF wins the popularity stakes, HC's developed a cult following :D
By far one of the best villains of the year, if not the best. Tough act to follow, he's set an extremely high benchmark for villainy.

Si Feng's master/father is also Yuan Lang's shī gē which means "brother in the same martial arts academy", ie.…
Learning the written form of Mandarin is challenging and time consuming, especially the traditional version. Might be easier to learn speaking the language first.

For historical dramas, it's slightly more complicated because of the classical version of speech, especially in the court (palace). But if you've watched enough dramas, then shouldn't be a problem to pick up.

The good (for some, bad) thing about C-dramas is the use of dubbing. The dialogues become so much clearer and easier to follow.

They've removed the countdown timer. What time is episode 54 showing? I'm so ready to go!
Oh ok. I'm not a youku vvip member. Guess I'll have to wait for the free uploads.
Thanks for the updates, guys :)

Yeah I was thinking about that too, it doesn't really make sense but we can just chalk that up to a plot hole.…
Absolutely share your sentiments. Enjoy it for what it is, don't overthink it and suspend disbelief.
The actors can only work with what they're given.

Title Love and Redemption Spoiler
I was watching episode 48 again and watched Wu Tong's last moments. For a moment I shed a tear for him. When he…
He did find redemption at the end by letting go of hatred and lust for revenge, which is pretty much the other central theme of the drama. It's hard to forgive his vile deeds but at the same time it feels too convenient to simply vilify him as an outright villain. I guess in the end, you could say he was a victim of circumstances.

full kiss scene on ep 52 hehehttps://m.bilibili.com/video/av414533649/notalinsanglian 2 hours agoCan someone translate…
Thanks so much for the link. You've been a treasure trove of crucial information and updates for this series :)
I much prefer this uncensored version, though I wonder why it was censored in the first place.
I mean yeah, it's a little suggestive but it was cute at the same time. I don't think it was excessive even for minors who are watching lol

Wait what really? I'm on 49 and I thought the worst stretch was over. You mean there's more tragedies? lol

Oh no, don't quit. Many of the endings are not explicit. They may seem as open endings but not really so if you…
You're most welcome :)
Actually Unicorn Girl isn't my cup of tea either but I'm not sure what to recommend to you because most of the shows on my list are filled with angst lol
Yes, that's a good strategy. Wait for the ending to air before deciding whether to watch or not. I'm too invested in it already having watched 90% of it :D

Edit: Actually there's one show that I've only started watching, Qing Qing Zi Jin. It's a historical drama about classical poetry and looks pretty interesting. Not sure about the angst or romance yet but the subs are fully available even though it's still airing. Perhaps you could go check it out :)

Koreans love Pizza Hut, Subway, and their chimaek (chicken and beer) :D
Yup, we use the term plaster the same way too, since both our countries are next to each other.
SF and XJ are both each other's plasters lol
