Heroes and In Blossom are great. I would recommend Heroes.

I tried Shen Li but I got bored at episode 8 and dropped it. I think it's good for people who love both main actors and xian xia.

I haven't tried The Double and Blossom in Adversity.

Ah, I didn't know that. The director did a great job.

I see.
The credits are based on bigger names to attract viewers I guess.
I hope the "newbie" actors can get bigger roles next time.

Yes.
Even the poster in this site was misleading. And the credits also refer to Liu Yu Ning and Maggie Huang as the leads.

Indeed. That was such a cool reveal.

I have watched up to 36. Lucky's death was so violent, poor Lucky is not so lucky anymore.

No wonder my mom said she didn't understand what that phrase meant 😅

I just googled what chow hound was, learnt a new word today :)

Ah yes. I actually got spoiled from another review about Lucky but was still surprised with the rest.

LOL , with your 3 blind mice which exactly what they were. So that was from I Ching, no wonder my mom said it sounds familiar.
I have watched up to 32 but I don't mind spoilers as I have read the spoilers about the deaths earlier.

I also root for Men Sandao, Gege, Liu Lin and Lucky plus Sandao's friend from Imperial Manchu who tried to assassinate Prince Qi (forgot his name). I guess we're supposed to root for them as they are the "good" guys. Too bad all of them died them although some are off screen. Initially I liked Wang Jialou but I guess he was too rigid and stubborn.
I also love Men Sandao's arguments with Liu Lin, they would make great friends if they were to live.
I think one of my favorite scenes was in episode 32 where they were fooling around instead of talking about treasures.

Yes.

I see. I have no iPhone or iPad so can't see them.
I also don't buy express package as I could wait for a few days :)

I see. Thanks for your response.

Ah I see, I thought your region allowed for episodes past 30.
Good for you that you could check them out early.
I saw they just released episode 31 and 32 today for normal members so I could check them out later.

I still don't have 31-36 on my WeTV so lucky you.

That's true. I guess we can't be too nice being an emperor.

I see. No wonder Prince Qi wanted to rebel. Weird succession rules. I guess it's different from other Chinese dynasties rules.

Yes, it's hard to find all those big names in one show now :)
I see.

😱 Ah yes, I just read that part as I read slowly. Poor guy. Cixi definitely is a not a good Empress and she wasted a lot of China's resources.

OK, I read their Wikipedia, didn't know Zaifeng was Fuyi's father.

I didn't know he used to date Yang Zi. I watched parts of Noble Aspirations, he, along with Zhao Liying and Cheng Yi were great although the writing and cinematography were indeed dated.

Thanks 💗 I wonder what happened to the Guanxu emperor. Was he killed because of his idea of revolution? I guess I could Google it to find out since I know their real names. I have heard of Yuan Shikai and Sun Yatsen but not the other two.

Ah so he is a real character. That's why I love your tidbit of info in this site :)
