Will it affect my MDL account in any kind of way if I don't?
I'm not comfortable with putting down my number on the internet.

Found it! Found it on a site that I had already searched on . Searched on google and it took me to that site. Wonder why I couldn't find it before.

:(  Unfortunately can't download that app in my country :(.
 My heart is in pieces lol joking :), but I'm a bit disappointed :|.  But greatly appreciate the effort taken to respond, thank you.

Can't find this movie anywhere. The links on the comments section don't work. That really sucks. It's got some great actors

Thank you so much. I really am a sucker for romance, so the plot of the love/romance between the OTP can really make or break a drama for me. So thanks for the heads up.
And I completely second your elaboration on the kind of love you like.

Wow from what you just said, the trailer really is misleading. There is no hint of a love square at all, it made it look like it's just Luo Jin and Tiffany Tang. But anyway, it will take me a while to decide to watch this one, I'm not a big fan of love triangles, love square I won't even talk about. Obviously with Cdramas there's always that F/M trying to scheme to get the F/M lead or a potential love interest of the F/M lead, so I don't completely write off watching dramas with love triangles but I love it when the love between the OTP is inseperable, undivided, certain/sure and they get a lot of screen time.
I'm not completely writing it off though.

Edit: And on top of that it's a sad ending, ahh.

Oh ok. Thanks for the response. Was taking a chance with you having watched it a year ago. But you answered exactly what I was asking. Thanks

Why was the romance not your cup of tea? Too much? Or not enough of it? Or too cheesy?

@ 15 episodes:
That helps me to know to push until which episode and not give up on it earlier if I struggle to get into it.

Wonder if that will make a difference for me personally who dreads watching overly long dramas, because you still want to finish the whole drama/possibly series to see what happens. For me I feel like it would make it worse. I prefer to binge, even if I throughly enjoy some dramas that I watch I do want them to end and I want to finish with it. Having to wait longer period for the next season, I wonder. I tried watching a still airing drama and almost dropped it because of the waiting. And there's some that are still on hold because of the having to wait, still need to go back to finish them.

Beautiful drama. The love story between the OTP is one of the most beautiful I've seen so far in my limited drama watch. It's not cheesy and fluffy but it's mature, deep and real, it grows it matures. I especially enjoyed the last couple of episodes thirty something till the last.
Some sad moments had me in tears.
I love these actors, I think Ariel Lin is an amazing actress and I just love William Feng, he's amazing.

At first I didn't like the emperor of Zhou but later on he gained my respect. The love triangle here is actually beautiful and I think it's because of the second ML. Most second ML are selfish about their love for the FL, never caring about the feelings of the female lead just caring about their own feelings and forcing things all about winning over the ML. This one loved the FL but also respected her and respected her choice. He truly loved her and wanted to protect her despite being rejected by her, it was all about her and not about him, yes he tried but he knew and accepted that her heart only had one person in it. Yes the second ML is not perfect at all but in regards to the love triangle I respected how he was. And I like emperors/kings/crown princes who are wise and not fooled by scheming of selfish women. He didn't fall for his empress scheming of trying to kill the FL he saw right through her unlike our ML who fell for Zhenger's scheming and believed her over his wife earlier.

The storyline is good but just got annoying because of the annoying nonsensical actions of the emperor and empress of Qi and the foolishness and stupidity of the emperor of Qi...what a dumb emperor my gosh and psycho empress. I prefer antagonist who are smart in their scheming and plotting. Those who you hate but respect because of how smart and brilliant they are in their badness. These ones were just silly, stupid and annoying.

I'm still on the fence where political scheming dramas are concerned. I'm not sure if I like or dislike them or don't care for them, haven't seen much of them.
I did watch Nirvana in Fire and loved it and throughly enjoyed it, and I was surprised I did because of it's lack of romance but it's that good that you kind of forgive it for not having romance (for those of us who love dramas with romance).
I know this one is not as good from comments. But it definitely is on my soon to watch list, I just have to psych myself up for the 70 episodes, that number honestly overwhelms me when I think about starting it.
Thanks for the heads up of what to expect from it.

I don't know...It's ok. It just doesn't have depth for me. Love the actors but just couldn't connect with their characters. Like I feel like it doesn't have a strong storyline.

Thank you so much for the detailed response. Appreciate also you giving specific number of episodes (45, 55, 64) and your feels about them and the good/bad about them. Really this will help me to know what to expect and prepare myself for them.

You loving the drama kind of encourages me that this is still a worthy watch despite the ending (fully aware we have different tastes as watchers but still, I'm encouraged a bit).
And yeah I'm used to chinese historical having a slow start and having to push through those episodes. So I'll bear it.

I'm falling in love with Ni Ni (have watched three of her movies after watching Love and Destiny) so I'll definitely give this one a go for her.
But seriously though...not much romance? That sucks, I'm a sucker for romance and those clips made it seem like there's a lot of romance but I will still watch it though.
Thank you

Oh ok. I will watch sometime, at least I'll be prepared for the decline and ending.
Thanks for your response

Oh wow, ok.
I guess I'll have to prepare my heart then.
Is it still worth the watch with that ending though?

What kind of unhappy ending is this one? Like is it a 'don't end up together' unhappy ending? Or 'death' unhappy ending?
I really just want more of Ni Ni after watching Love and Destiny but I just need to prepare my heart for the ending. And from the clips I've seen, this couple really looks good together. But the comments say it's not a good ending...so eish I don't know. Is 70 episodes with a not good ending still a worthy watch?

I'm on episode 5...and I never ever have a second ML syndrome, ever, but on this one was really rooting for shifu.

Beautiful and pleasant movie.

Great idea.
This will be interesting to see

Lol that happens @ your first comment. Completely normal for one not to completely like what everyone completely loved.
I loved this drama, it still doesn't top TMOPB but it's still a beautiful drama to me. Funny thing though that I realised after a day or two of watching it is that my withdrawal symptoms weren't as hectic as after TMOPB, I don't know how many times I've rewatched TMOPB, this one I only rewatched the last 6 episodes and once. I realised that the impact it had on me wasn't as deep as TMOPB. And I loved and enjoyed L&D, I think it's a beautiful drama but I don't know there's just something that I can't quite put my finger to it.

And I agree with some of your statements @ your second comment. They were some unnecessary characters. And what even happened to that young dude?
