Hey fans of AF & LMS, any idea if these two are real life couple? Cos it's really really unusual for period Cdramas to have so many real passionate kissing scenes in all 16 episodes from 19/20. And it's not only one kissing shot per episode! It's dual and triple take in most epis!!! Actually, it's many times more than a modern Cdrama

since it's only a 8-parter, i'll revisit when i've nothing else in hand :)

yup, it's like kissing in every epi from 19/20 onwards to finale. Also, it's not just a peck or a 30 sec swipe of lips but really all round lip/mouth movement lasting over 1 min each time!!!

Alen must have hell lot of good kissing practice from this drama! Hopefully both are willing parties to the director's instruction

thanks AniMangaSensei. My preference is dramas like Love by Hynoptic... or Lost Tomb Reboot :)

oh, why do you not like them?! Alen Fang's acting is so much better than the ML in General Lady. And Alen looks good in period drama... Initially, though i didn't dislike Ling MeiSi, i wasn't attracted to her. But after a few epis, i kinda like her and more. She's good acting out her role. Can't wait to get onto 18!

yup, i'm at 15 and still loving it!!!

thanks, i came here to find out when they will ever start making out!!!

yeah, i felt so cheated after watching 14 epis but luckily for me i had skipped to the finale...

LOL contrary to its intriguing title, Ep1-2 gave me the feel of a bromance...

hi, wasn't it stated in this drama's synopsis that it's "Adapted from the novel Shi Wei Ji by Xi He"

seems like Tang Min is a very new actress since there's no write up on her yet and her projects are less than a handful. Looks like she's got a bright future ahead for her!

i doubt there'll be a S2 since the finale had everything in order and in its rightful place, and they even finished it off with the General and Lady giving military training to their son... !!!

think the present ML was sent to chase FL for her script. She asked him for the exact message he was tasked to tell her. She told him she's finishing and asked him to wait, be seated... She asked him for his name and the usual polite questions - drink? eaten? She laughed when he told her his name -- Chu Xiu Ming...

Yes, agree with you on the pt that ML needs to better his acting skills, especially his facial expressions. Sorry to CW fans but i felt he didn't do a good job in portraying his role as a cold stern general. His facial front is outright stiff and awkward. If not for the FL's lively, chatty scenes and both FL/ML good visuals, i would have dropped this after two epis...

So far, most period Cdramas i've watched so far started off very well like The Heiress, Sleepless Princess) but ended with sad/clueless cliffhangers... that i felt so cheated of my time and emotions!!! Thank you Mr Qiang Wu for giving us a complete blissful finale!

Seems like it's a norm for Chinese directors &/or scriptwriters to leave viewers to their own imaginery perception on how ML/FLs get out of tricky and/or life&death situations!!!

In this drama, there are at least two such tranitional scenes. Thank goodness, the end result in finale was acceptable!

Don't think it's disrespectful to the person involved. Correct me if im wrong, but i think one reason is that he's registered as the son of his mother's brother and not her son... Another reason is some kind of endearment nickname that you see in some Kdramas that the ML or FL uses to address their mom...

Can't believe it's going to end this weekend - it was like just the other day i had to deal with Missing:The Other Side finale... and now Search... Hope the new drama The Uncanny Counter for Sat/Sun slot will be just as good ;)

Thanks Enzek for the links. I'm done with T&RR. Will drop The Eternal Love S1/2/3 as i can't get pass the look of ZLXing - his facial feature doesn't suit period drama - more suitable with modern look as in his profile photo XD
