I see him alone in the beginning OST. I assume he will be alone. There is no romance tag.

I am on ep 5 now and just started this today.

The fight scenes are fine. Sorta. The camerawork is a bit clunky. I am commenting because I wasn't expecting it to be having funny angles, close ups etc.

I literally cannot work out why this wuxia feels so disjointed. I am not even expecting any romance because there is no romance tags. He is also shown alone in both beginning and ending.

Is that Hao girl alright? She is a bit dense isn't she?

Different vibes. However based on the current epiaodes I have watched- that ML is confident and supportive. He doesn't have the looks I like but completely suited to the role and the main couple have chemistry.

I need a break man after a 45 episode marathon. There was a lot of plotting in that drama. I have to remember who crossed who and what happened.

Can I start watching again? I stopped at ep 25.

I have marathoned The Story of Ming Lan from ep 1-45 over the weekend. I am emotionally wrung out.

I need a payback if I watched todays episodes or wait till ep 40 airs.

Otherwise would head over to the Yang Yang dramas.

I think I have ODed over stepmothers. I cannot even remember what JZ's father and stepmother looks like. Its evil, bitchy, underhanded, killing, torture, dying or unrequited female leads.... from 2 dramas. I am literally drained as a viewer.

There's Gu, Chen, Ye here. Then there is Gu, Sheng, Qing, Yan, Liang, Wen and who else? Both fathers are officials. I am getting the Ministry they are in mixed up. This GJZ has the 3rd sister and brother? The other has the 4th and 5th sister?

See? I am getting my dramas mixed up.

That's hilarious in a non- funny way. He is such a goner.

The story of Ming Lan. I am now ep 26 and the main couple are nowhere near the flirting stage.

However the brisk storytelling pace is phenomenal. Its a 2018 drama and looks set to become not my favourite drama but certainly in the top 5 for welll written ensemble cast drama.

3 years morning has passed. When? In ep 1? 15.

Gosh I am skipping ep 26. Episode 27 and 28 looks very heavy. I might even not watch till ep 30 airs so I can get beyond the red and white scenes.

Its long man. I don't watch long dramas so being on ep 6 is killing me. I watched ep 63-65 to check out the vibes and liked it enough to check out from ep 1.

Episode 11 is just the right balance and break. I am returning to ep 6 and
onwar
d this
week
end.

I will tell you though that this drama has an absolute gem. The kid playing the King. My god he is phenomenal for his age. His acting is superb.

I like it. There.

I have an opinion and have no time to whine. I am also starting The Story of Ming Lan and My Royal Nemesis

I like my balance of drama life. Some light. One crazy. One super long 73 episodes.

So different tastes for different viewers.

I am on ep 5 now. How old is Gu Ting Ye because he looks like a man. Did he also just get a mistress? Vs a concubine?

I am trying to work out how Qi Heng fits into the whole picture with the bitchy 4th sister.

Hi. I won't want specific spoilers and even big spoilers.

I just want to know if there is drama every moment till the end from the novel. Yes I know its different especially for the half sister and cousin.

I have finished ep 25. I wasn't expecting the fallout from 2 secondary male characters.

I mean I know that the wedding is this Sunday.... I want happy wedding prep and sweet coy moments.

I am tensed up instead waiting for Ye Xian's big meltdown and confrontation. Then add on the engaged adopted nephew. Or the adopted nephew who is engaged. You know who I mean.

The old fart hadn't even been taken down yet. The Hu guy, the sea route etc.

No I actually am enjoying the early episodes. I am not there for the romance. I am enjoying the household politics.

I was thinking she was going to have a coronarybecause she was so frustrated.

Ep 23 made me smile. Ep 24 made me laugh. The cousin- I wasn't expecting an actual catfight. I didn't even know I would enjoy watching it. I have been some evil secondary characters but its like watching a young *b___ch * before they grow old and become the resident evil witch in other drmaas.

This drama?

Slow burn. Just wait and watch. It has the correct amount of main couple, interesting plot, good writing and terrific costumes and directing. Its a win for me and I am notoriously picky.

I actually am tense already from ep 1. I don't know what the people are talking about. Its an ensemble cast so am perfectly happy at present. In a tense expecting disaster sort of way.

I cannot even see any pretty boy actors at present because of Ci Sha. I had forgotten what a man looks like after all the foundation heavy, skinny male leads.

The story of Ming Lan worked a treat. Its now ep 3 and I am nicely addicted.
