I wanted to drop around ep 10, but then a new branch of storyline on Ahjie (mini 9 tailed fox) sort of rejuvenated the entire drama. Now I can't wait for the new episode to be released! 🤗😁🤩

Understand this is a plot or story driven drama but I really think Lee Soo Hyuk did not have not enough screen time. I watch this drama bcos of him. 😔

In the end Qingyu let go and trusted her after explaining why she always put a wall between them and cannot fully trust Xiao Qin before.

Xiao Qin has proven she cares and sacrificed alot for the Gu family and eventually Qingyu and father granted Xiao Qin her ultimate wish, to own a house in Shanghai.

I quickly search for this drama after seeing Yamapi in it. Yamapi's screen presence and his voice are sorely missed. He can totally act in comedies!

I thought that scandal had gotten him cancelled for good.

This drama was shot in 7 May 2018 to Aug 2018. Cheng Yi looked much younger and rookie than when he had his breakout role in Love & Redemption (shot in Aug 2019).

Hey, I am planning to watch that drama, now released up to ep.3. But i am not sure if i can understand without Eng subs. 😆

I wonder whether when William Feng Shiao Feng shot the drama when he was probably going through separation with ZLY. This is because he looked quite helpless and troubled. Now in ep. 4.

You are welcome 😁

Wow you rewatched 3x, must be a true fan.

The ML is the actor playing "Uncle Wu Zhu",
blindfolded bodyguard/guardian of Fanxian in Joy of Life. No wonder he look familiar.

There were some news from this drama last year but not as many as the Legend of Anle, the one Dilireba acted with Gong Jun.

That means they were shooting the drama during pandemic. So the filming from Feb - June 2021 should include Part 2 as well.

Ok, thanks for the info.

I enjoy every script lines uttered by the mighty and witty Qing Shu (Blue feather phoenix), especially when she teases San Yue and her cat disciple - Li Shu.

I am quite late following this drama, just finished ep. 17.

I wonder when this drama was shot as Allen Ren and Ci Sha look younger and make up/foundation used here look not so current type compared to Forever And Ever. My guess is in 2018.

Dilireba look ever so beautiful and fresh so cant telll whether this drama was shot around Long Ballad or Eternal Love of Dream/Pillow Book. Around 2018-2019.

For Wang Yi Fei, i am disappointed with her costume and make up plus hairdo here because she looks more beautiful (although villainous) in Ashes of Love and Eternal Love of Dream.

As for Li Shen, is it before of after Joy of Life, around 2018?

The rating and viewership are not as great as expected maybe because 2521 and A Business Proposal dominated the interests and headlines.

Although I like those popular dramas, Kill Heel is also my type of drama.

Hmmmm....similar backdrop like Rattan (romance between human and alien turned part human and rattan formed with special powers) but I feel Macalee/Makkali is more of a local folklore tale than fictional scifi (sometimes illogical) like Rattan.

1st leg is about how ML and FL met and fall in love when they were young and how they unwillingly got separated.

2nd leg is about politics within the royal family, harem infighting, triangle love and unrest struggle between emperor (SML) , Mingyu/Consort (FL) and 9th Prince/ Chengxu (ML).

3rd leg about the upbringing of Mingyu's son, young emperor and new challenges in the monarchy in fictional Sheng Dynasty.

My fave is the final 3rd leg and have rated higher at 8.5. Maybe many MDLers dropped mid way as 2nd leg quite draggy so not surprised its at average 7.5 rating. Took me more than 1 year to watch the 56 episodes and glad i picked it up again to finish it.

Not a fan of Cheng Yi, but he is very good in playing strong, intelligent but tragic in love kind of ML. I am surprised Sarah Zhao can play young, mid-age and aged FL well and the crying scenes were quite convincing. Wonder why she looked different and older
in You Are My Glory (modern drama) with a
cameo appearance but looks gorgeous in
Handsome Siblings (2020) in wuxia dressing,
also cameo appearance as twins' mother. Not sure how many times Han Dong and Cheng Yi have collaborated.

This was apparently Yang Chao Yue debut in Cdrama.

Zo In Sung's best buddies came in Season 2 - Lee Kwang Soo, Im Joo Hwan and one guy missing was Song Jongki 😂. Anyway add Kim Woobin and you get 4 tall guys in the store.

Great! I will watch once the Eng subs are up. Thx
