Never seen a better title for a review haha

I absolutely love love love QingKui to bits

This series should be renamed to: How not to be a father. The human emperor did develop a strong backbone though

I'm late to the party too! Excited to watch this, just came from Goodbye My Princess and didn't realise CXX was in this too!

I only watched the first 16 episodes before giving up and skipping through the rest because I could tell this would be an incredibly angsty story, even more so than TTEOTM (which is quite a feat). I wasn't really interested in all the court politics, but I really wanted to know how their relationship would turn out, and it didn't disappoint

So true, every second passes I just wanted to give him a massive punch

Lol in a span of maybe a day or two, the princess gave up on her long-time crush and found a new love, I'm impressed

I liked him in Sherlock: The Untold Stories, and then realised he sang History Maker?? I'm in love

Oh my goodness when ChangYu saw all those dead people from Lin'An waving at her in the last episode I thought she had died, that scared me

I would say the historical stuff became the main focus in the latter half of the series, but the romance was definitely focus of the first half.

MLC is sooooo good, as is The Blood of Youth + Dashing Youth + Blood River

I loved the first half, but not so much for the second half (except for DengKai he's amazing), I'm interested in knowing how you feel when you've finished the series

I really feel like PoJ was kinda a hit and then miss, it has some really really amazing parts, and then some not so good bits, but overall I enjoyed it quite a lot

Oh you're right! I wonder if it'll remain at this level when there are more ratings, as the untamed has around x2 the number of user ratings

Honestly, I had higher expectations for this. I loved the first Lin'An arc, it was beautiful character building. But then when it started moving into the more complicated court politics + uncovering the mystery of the incident from 17 years ago, it became very complex. I actually found it difficult to follow and lost interest in the second half of the series.

What I loved about this series is the character writing, cinematography, relationships between the couples and omg DengKai. He's really outdone himself this time

DengKai has truly truly outdone himself in PoJ, what a wonderful and heartful performance, I actually thought he outshone even the main leads

Ok I know our FL is a genius and a super capable girlie and I love her, but come on, she is not at all experience in actual battles/fights and has herself admitted her fighting skills are only at a novice level. The first time she defeated the general was because it was a battle of strength, fine, but the second time, it was a battle of skill, how the hell did she win?? Frankly, I thought it was a bit too unrealistic and exaggerated, even by cdrama standards.

She may have had some little tips from ML and General He, but she had no extra practice, don't tell me she somehow internalised their advice and just became a master fighter ..

I've seen him play the villain in The Blood of Youth and then Pursuit of Jade, he is undeniably an amazing villain actor, and a very very handsome one that strikes the balance between attractive and deadly. I hope to see him in more roles like this

Thanks, not sure why some people feel the need to be off-handedly rude and dismissive nowadays

Oh 😂 care to elaborate?
