Thanks for sharing, if Ming Lan is broken in 3 seasons/stages, which one do you like most?

Thanks for tip!!

Watched this movie to understand why there's so much hype and buzz about this movie. I say its a light comedy with some educational points about SM. What is acceptable and what is not acceptable, where it crosses the line and not fun anymore.....perhaps to educate younger people.

Speaking of watching Ming Lan, I read alot of good reviews about Legend of Ming Lan but the 80 episodes length is quite discouraging. Only if I have long break like a week to binge then I will consider.

I agree! She can totally be a FL in a lower budget drama.

Is the drama watchable? What is your rating? I may start to watch this weekend.

Thanks!!

Hahaha...I finished watching Pearl Eplise. No...Yangmi was 34 last year. 😂

Another example, was Zhang ziyi in The Rebel Princess...more extreme age wise to play a teen but suprisingly i was interested enough to finish drama, over 50 episodes.

You got a point. If casting choice is also about the chemistry between ML and SML, then Brigitte Qiao fits the bill.

Brigette Qiao is a wonderful actress, however she was playing 20-21 YO is a bit stretched as she is 28 this year. Her acting is fine, just that its difficult for someone acting a much younger character than her actual. So far only Sun Li/Betty Sun acted well below her age in those 2 Palace dramas. However Kabby Hui plays 15 YO was quite convincing.

I was confused too. Just watched more advanced and you will be more certain and clearer references are made that her biological mother is Madam Liang, the concubine.

Sorry to Jeremy Tsui fans here but noticed his face has changed substantially (more handsome) in this drama from the last dramas I watched he played 2nd MLs in Siege in Fog and Legend of Dugu.

I watched this jdrama because I am interested to learn the simple Japanese style cooking method, ingredients and pots to make donburi that you find in Japanese restaurants, not so much of storyline or romance. It less than a half hour per episode series that you can finish less than 6 hours.

@Soju your article is terrific!! I would catch a few of the lakorns above according to my preferences of my childhood fairytales.

Oh really? Hahaha.... so his first kiss was given to Sandra Ma.

Anyway, not sure which drama was shot first although You Are My Hero aired last year.

Hahaha...i thought ML has a no on-screen kiss policy. I was shocked that he lowered his head to kiss FL.

Ending is quite predictable. They didnt explain how the time loop or why FL was chosen to stop the tragedy.

Hope you didnt rate lower than the average MDL or Douban rating...lol

I think it was alright maybe a bit flat at the ending. 15 episodes is not too long or short. Overall I am satisfied although I wont give a 10 but definitely better than current average MDL rating for the final episode.

Thank you for explaining. I suspect when the whole ordeal was over at the bridge and everyone came out of the bus, there was a paused moment when both ML and FL were looking at one direction. Could it be Wong Merng Merng standing there looking at them but was edited out? 🤔🤔🤔

@cdrama Nowadays a Cdrama above 6 rating in Douban is considered decent.
