I love the maid and ZhiMo's interactions. Sooo adorable!!
I hope he makes it to the end this time and gets his happy end. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde: to lose him once was unfortunate, to lose him twice could be considered carelessness...
Guys/gals, just a heads up before you binge through all the available episodes next week. According to the schedule (see photo section) we will have a "dry" Saturday and Sunday, so "save" some episodes to watch over the weekend, otherwise this page will be filled with wailing and moaning (and not in a good way).
can the novel readers tell me what illness dis Lord Ding have I can't see him in the weak state hoping to see…
It was clearly said (in episode 3, I think) that he was poisoned by some usually deadly poison and only survived due to following some extremely painful procedure.
Curious if the novel has a happy ending? I watched the 6 eps and it's good! Just hesitant about the "Legend" in…
Legend of the Phoenix had a happy ending and so did Legend of Fuyao and The Legend of Anle... It's more important to look at who the director is (after two disasters I'll avoid the one who did Yunxi in the future). Legend of Yunxi is a classic example of a drama that has a totally inflated rating on MDL due to the presence of some idol boys in the cast.
I think it was ep. 3 when the FL was taken to the ML's residence. The maid kept eating stuff and the bodyguard just gave her that blank stare. I don't know what it was but that scene just made me roll on the couch laughing.
in most of comments they said that ml is too old for this role....why no one is talking how handsome he is and…
I'm pretty sure as the drama progresses these voices will disappear. He is believable as a seasoned general and even though I cannot say that I find him particularly attractive (nothing to do with his age...), his acting skills and stage presence still make it a pleasure to watch him in every scene. Lately, there's been far too many pretty faces who cannot act, so I'm enjoying this!
Three episodes in and I'm absolutely loving this! The pacing is good and so far without any fillers, the story is interesting, the FL is a courageous and clever woman and the colours are very nice. The ML really fits this role and his acting as the cold and silent general is pretty good. I like the subtle bits of humour in the story, that scene between the FL's maid and the ML's stoic bodyguard was hilarious!
Dropping or not watching a drama solely because you find none of the men attractive/too old is so immature. I'd…
Thank you! This message cannot be repeated too often. I remember a certain recently aired xianxia drama (which shall remain unnamed) where every second comment on the MDL page was about the dreamy looks of the ML, sadly this isn't enough to entertain me for 30 long episodes. Also, it's not like we have to choose between good acting skills and good looks. There are quite a few talented mature actors who are as hot as it gets.
So do I! I hope this is some sort of "test balloon" and if it goes well, we will get a few more wuxia/costume…
Yes, I also like to look at pretty faces, but after a while, purely relying on the eye-candy effect gets a bit boring. Fortunately, there are quite a few middle-aged actors/actresses who are both beautiful and capable. They need to be given more opportunities.
This drama is totally masterpiece. Until now I still cannot find any drama that can beat this one. Lately most…
There are currently two main problems with C-dramas: a) Instead of having capable actors, they're filled with eye-candy to draw in the teenage crowds. b) The plots are dumbed down to pre-school level so that even the people who keep fast-forwarding half of the scenes instead of watching them can still follow.
- A fall from a cliff (Legend of Anle set new standards for this one...)
- A walk through the Lantern Festival
- A scene under some falling flower petals
etc. etc.
I actually hope in this one we will be spared some of these clichés...

This is the magic only a real actor can give you!
