pausing at episode 33 to come say one thing.... I don't get it. Why are all those people so upset and want to storm the academy, MY helped them build artifacts saved the Abyss multiple times and yet they turn on her in an instant, even when she was MX she never did anything to harm them personally except beat the Abyss in the tournament? They instantly turned on JBZ as well when they found out he was now the crown prince and supporting the higher realm (forgot the name, Yonghang or something similar) . The Abyss people don't seem to be loyal to anyone, they will turn against you with just one comment and no explanation. well back to watching (please excuse the spelling and bad grammar).

Yes, particularly historical/costume romance with happy endings. I am tired of the sad and open endings. I also like a bit of the historical political aspect thrown in.

Fight for Love is a definite for me. I just wasn't real sure about the others yet.

Off topic a bit: There are quite a few dramas that just started airing, what are you watching during downtime of this drama or what will you be watching after this ends. (I don't know how I am going to be able to let go of the two main leads in this, I am now going to be comparing every couple to them)

Whispers of Fate
Sword and Beloved
Blood River
Fight for Love (starting Oct. 30)

Also, should you or do you need to watch Love in Pavilion before Sword and Beloved?

this drama needs to stop with the tears, I can't handle this much crying (my eyes are all red now)

Started watching this after I finished Fated Hearts, and I can not stop. I am on episode 26 and it is my favorite episode. The chemistry between these two main leads is absolutely on fire. I don't know if I have ever been so (I don't even know what word to use here) about a couple before in all the dramas I have watched (except maybe the 2nd couple in Business Proposal). These two are chemistrying the chemistry out of all the chemistry there is. They are playful and then very intense and it just flows so well.

The Song of Glory, Nirvana in Fire, and The Rise of Phoenixes, I would save these for last. The ending isn't a lovey dovey happy ending, but I think the whole stories make up for what happens at the end of those three. You could almost say The Princess Wei Young might not be a happy ending, but it does end on a good note. It is a good ending, just not what you would have exactly wanted.

depends on if you want romance focused or political focused, there are so many good ones, here are a few of my favorites:

The Rebel Princess
The Princess Wei Young
The Story of Ming Lan
Nirvana in Fire (very political heavy, but very good)
The Long Ballad
The Song of Glory (has the same FL as this one)
The Rise of Phoenixes
Love Like the Galaxy (my absolute favorite, next to the Story of Ming Lan)
The Sword and the Brocade
Story of Kunning Palace
The Double

There are so many more I could recommend, but I would try this list out.

I wish they hadn't killed off the unborn child. He could have been heir to both countries and his mother could have raised him better.

I agree completely with your assessment. This was a drama I didn't know I was looking for lately. It was really good. I did start fast forwarding through a lot of the Jinxiu scenes, because they were a bit irritating to watch and I personally didn't like the Jinxiu emperor from the beginning. I loved the whole dynamic of all the characters and their relationships with each other. It was definitely refreshing to see royal siblings get along and not fight each other for the throne.

I didn't think I would actually like him that much after watching him in Hidden Love, but after watching him here, I now want to watch him in any costume and/or historical type dramas.

Li Qin is absolutely amazing in these types of roles. She is probably one of my favorites in the strong female general or similar type of role. If you haven't seen Song of Glory, you really should watch that. She was also in The Wolf (the story isn't really my favorite, but overall her acting was great).

I agree. I think he is so much better in costume/historical dramas.

I agree. I hardly ever use my phone to comment but I happened not be at home today, so I thought it would be okay.

I am writing on my phone and for some reason my comments keep disappearing on me and ending up under other comments. it is so weird.

sorry didn't mean to delete my comment.

As a mother of two autistic children, I am just hoping that the translation from Mandarin to English was off a bit or rather there wasn't really any other wording to use. I did not like that part at all. I think they should have used PTSD as well.

Yeah I was wondering if I missed something about the lawyer dude. I mean how did he get away with the kidnapping. Did I miss some dialogue? I mean Hao Ming punched him and then ..... nothing happened to him.

I enjoyed the drama for the most part.

I didn't get the chemistry between them right away. Honestly, I didn't feel it til after they had already started the divorce and the first time I really felt it was when she was "forced" to kiss him by that Steve person in front of the German couple, after that I could feel their chemistry and enjoyed watching their interactions a lot more. The first part felt stiff between them and then it started becoming more relaxed. (I think this was also good acting on both ZLS and CWT's part)

I wish Fang Lei never revealed she had lied about the paternity test. I feel it was unnecessary and kind of just put the nail in the coffin, another thing that if Hao Chen ever finds out about, will just estrange the already fragile relationship they are rebuilding. I just wish they had left that out of the story.

I also do not like villains or antagonists being added in the last part of a drama. I always like knowing who the focus of baddies are from the beginning or at least in the first few episodes. I know Qu Ming Cheng was always kind of lurking in the background, but he wasn't really a big deal until the last few episodes, which to me they just added for extended drama's sake.

I was also fast forwarding through a lot of the business related stuff, it just got to be so boring and uninteresting. Although, I was invested in Yan's business and her picking herself up with out the help of her husband. But overall I was here for the love story and it really did not disappoint.

It seemed in some areas that there were possible missing scenes that would have been good if they were added, it felt like they moved from one scene to another in some areas without a basis (I may not be saying that right)

Overall, the acting was incredible by all the cast and the costumes/wardrobe were absolutely beautiful.

I think those are always my favorite scenes of hers. They always stick out the most.
