This is a very accessible book that you can consider:https://www.amazon.com/Early-Chinese-Empires-History-Imperial/dp/0674057341/ref=sr_1_1?crid=N54XTCAZCXQK&dchild=1&keywords=the+early+chinese+empires+qin+and+han&qid=1608173984&sprefix=qin+and+han%2Caps%2C361&sr=8-1
Heian period is like 1000 years later though. The Qin hairstyle and some of the costumes are reconstructions from…
@disliketolike Oh so you went to the Terra Cotta Museum and excavation site in Xian before? Fascinating place right!! Of course minus the massive tourist crowds...haha.
I learned alot about the history and Qin dynasty (basically 1 emperor before the fall of the empire). Yah, I read about the extra metal coating of their arrows and weapons there, which was considered very advance at that time and age.
There is no way I can fully understand without English subs. Good to watch to learn more about Qin dynasty history. The production and costume seem high budget and quality.
This particular period costume and hairdo have some similarities to ancient Japanese costumes. Also read somewhere Chinese conspiracy theorists argued that part of the delegation assigned by Emperor Qin's conquest for eternal life who have deviated and retreated in a faraway land bringing the culture and influence to what is known as Nihun Go aka Japan.
This won't be lighter than YCM hahahahaha. I recall some details about the trailer and I think they'll be a miscarriage…
Hahaha...even the billionaire genius Elon Musk sold his Paypal shares and became multi millionaire at the age of 31 years old.
Yeah just wait for more episodes to be released.
The more I watch, the more I see similar facial features between FL-Chen Du Ling and Liu YiFei, when she still has baby fat in The Return of Condor Heroes as Siu Long Nu.
I dropped it (even though I did want to cheer on some people I liked). I just really hate that the show went from…
Hahaha....yes there were sooo many sponsors ....translating $$$$$. Other variery shows also make references like Happy Camp did a A-B -F card participants to play games.
I usually don't mind older guys and younger girl as long as he still looks ok. But before anyone talks about the…
Yes @bibi-bibi, unfortunately the producers in most Cdramas still apply the over repeated winning or safe formula - Mary Sue aka damsel in distress or poor girl- rich man to atttact viewerships.
If you watch the season finale of Season 2 -Actors Please Take Your Place ( more details can be found in MDL ), the producers openly invite 7 to 9 of the 40 contestants to do idol dramas, which 90% carry the safe winning formula.
Up to raw ep.2. This Cdrama is a lighter compared to "You Complete Me", which also has Investment Banking underlying theme.
I must say that Hawick Lau ( also Huang Xiao Ming) can still play ML in dramas like this type. The big age gap btw ML and FL is still logical as being a department head in IB usually are in their forties minimum, whereas a management trainee/junior analyst is usually in early 20s.
While waiting for You Complete Me new episodes to come out, am watching this to fill the free time for my year end break.
I laughed so hard when that fire alarm scene happened. He acts so smart but forgot to get the laptop or atleast…
Hahaha.... or atleast press ctrl + alt+delete to lock the computer screen right! Even an office clerk in any bank is required by policy to do this whenever he/she leaves the work station.
Yes, the weaknesses you pointed out are so obvious.
The storyline is actually quite interesting with the IB background and revenge plot, however they need to do more research on the specific sector to make it more believable.
I can't help but to point out 2 main flaws in the script.
First is that in any investment bank premises, the security checkpoints are very strict and has Great Wall policy, the FL- Lin Wo has entered and exited Motian/Most Sky numerous times without registering or even tagging visitor pass. Outsiders can only sit in conference room and not roam around working area.
Secondly, in ep.10 -11 ML - Gao Shan completed a M&A proposal within 1 night could just walk out of the office without carrying the laptop after hearing fire alarm?? To me it's natural instinct to grab important things like handbag, phone n laptop with you before leaving considering a lot of hard work done in the proposal!!
I am surprised that i watched all episodes for this Chinese reality show. The appealing factor is that the show has created alot of noise and memes in Chinese social medias, whether positive or negative.
The season finale also has a surprise performance from Xiao Zhan, his first live performance since the controversy.
I cant imagine any actor other than Kenny Lin playing the ML. No wonder this drama has consistent high rating and viewership in China. Its also good to hear his own voice in this drama. Gai Cass is also surprisingly very fitting as FL as i never watched her acted.
It was on the main page for a few hour under the Top Airing Chinese drama, until we marked it as complete because…
I agree with you and didnt mean it in a bad way. Who would have thought it was all released at one go, which is a unique and isolated case.
Members should treat each other like neighbours, not complaining but trying to understand the situation. If this drama gets enough fans and discussion volume it will surely appear in Trending section. ...i hope
I am a bit sad that this Cdrama is not placed in "Show Starting This Week" and/or " Show Ending This Week" to provide more exposure to MDL and Non-MDL members.
Understand this Cdrama has released all 49 eps out of a sudden last week but I feel it should be showcased on the MDL main page atleast once.

Finally just finished the last episode. Love it!!

Yes, agree its under rated. Modern dramas are less popular if its not college love.
