I didn't know the game, but still like it a lot. The in game scenes are very cool when they were animated. Toward the end I still don't know much about the game, but it didn't take away from the dramas. Most of the characters are very likable, nice team work, nice chemistry between main and support couples. The friendship between fl and her friend is so strong, just love her bestie. Lu si Cheng became more naughty after they got together, really like his personality change ^^

In ep 2 manager Feng is so kind, I think she purposely sending Zi Jin to serve the prince's food to help her stay in the food service. Zi Jin uses that opportunity to impress the prince with her cooking skill. Since I'm rewatching this, and knowing their history together, I start to notice her reactions to the prince, it's more than just curiosity that she is trying to take a look at his face, or smile seeing him angry, holding that jade (an item that was given to her by the emperor as a promise to be the prince's consort) and thinking of the prince. Watching this again, it's so obvious she has feeling for him, and it came way before she was saved by him in ep 2 ^^

Just ignore him/her. Zhou dong yu is a good actress, she is more known for her movies than dramas. She's the youngest actress to receive three golden horse for her movies so that person doesn't know what they talking about. I agree with you, dramas that only cares about looks are idol dramas, this drama is not an idol drama and the acting is the most important that's why the actors and actresses that were picked really fit their roles.

Yeah generally there will be dramas that focuses on romance over plot so what? For example the legend, dance of the sky empire, those two have the ml as lead too. I loss my interest because they start to add love triangle. I just noticed many cdramas regardless of genres do this, it could have been better if they focus on the plot. Most dramas I like tend to put romance on the side and focus on characters development and plot. This drama is an example, they spend 16 eps expanding on the god realm, and the main plot starts in ep 17. This is why I love this drama and could rewatch it many times.

I did write why i thought it was different. Read my comments again. I was commenting to another comment agreeing with her. Also what does it matter to you since you said you drop it.

When you have the patience to go through more than 4 eps I suppose. You already have your answer. So why even ask.

She gotten into the palace by switching her identity with another. It was found out, and now they're looking for her.

And what's your problem?

I also like him as a crown prince more than when he becomes emperor ^^

Rewatching this, in ep 1 the crown prince has always been forgiving I almost forget this. He wasn't like this only after becoming emperor, his kindness as well as his weight is what make his brothers and father look down on him, and think he's weak. The crown princess is one strong woman who is always looking out for her husband. I start to know some of the names with the faces after rewatching it, still too many names that I won't remember. The one who sent zhan ji the letter asking him to return to intercept the prince of Han and help his father must be his mother. Both mother and son in this drama takes turn shielding the crown prince from the emperor's disapproval. The crown prince is kind of foolish, he couldn't tell that his brothers were mocking him, and always have a kind word for everyone but his wife and son, it became worse after he becomes emperor. Among zhan ji two attendants, l like chen wu more his character is so attentive and just seems more loyal compare to yuan qi who is only good at flattering and gossip, although he's funny ^^

Someone recommended to me before, but I haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet.

The two that come to mind are ten miles of peach blossom and ashes of love. I like the former but not so much the latter. I don't remember much of the sacrificing, just feel annoyed with some of those characters that just don't learn and keep making the same mistakes. Although I said it in general, some dramas tend to focus on romance over the plot.

Yeah I really loves her character and baijue. Baijue is my most favorite, I think baijue is the most suffering male character compares to other male characters in other xanxia I seen, not that I seen that many, but this drama is so different in its presentation of love and duty. In other dramas, the main characters would choose love over everything else, here they choose duty because of their status as being the most powerful. It's contradictory to their nature being the most respected, but they still can't control their fates. Just as the saying with great power comes great responsibility. Since I'm much older now, I likes that it shows another side to love, not just the normal boring love story I seen in other dramas.

Xukai's role in royal feast has the best life, being the beloved grandson to the emperor, the crown prince who father is always jealous of the attention he is getting, to being the emperor with the highest authority. So many titles in one role, this must be the least suffered characters he played so far. Although his love life is not so easy, since the fl has other things to do, and rather cook in the kitchen then be his concubine. Compare to fuca fuheng, sheng chumu love life, he's still so much luckier. In royal feast the fl was trained from a young age to be his consort, and she already has a crush on him since she was a young girl. Zhu zhan ji is almost too perfect, he can play an instrument, good at drawing, good at martial art, well verse in military strategy. Xukai portrayal of Zhu zhan ji as a pamper prince to a capable ruler is done very well. He keeps improving in his acting. Hope to see him playing more difficult characters with good scripts ^^

Those are the things I love this over ten miles of peach blossom and ashes of love. Agree it's so underated, it's so much more than just a love story, the gods in this drama I feel care about the humans, and the world building and cultivation stuffs are very interesting too. Agree xukai and zhou dong yu chemistry was great ^^

Why does drama title almost always have the word love in it. I like the original title.

No problem.

I always like xukai action scenes. He's really good with the sword and spear from court lady, ancient love poetry to royal feast. That why I'm looking forward to him playing in a wuxia ^^

This drama does have some haters. There are some reviewers on here that gave the drama a 2 or a 3.5. Does this drama deserves such a low rating I didn't think so. The synopsis exactly describes this drama showing the three kings of ming dynasty, the Chinese cuisines, the friendship, the romance of the main leads. The relationship between zhanji and Zi Jin are atypical. I really like their relationship once they sort out all of their troubles, like any old married couple. Someone was complaining about the make up on the fl, at first I thought it make her looks older combine with the colors that is use in this drama. But after a while I gotten use to the costumes of the ming period, and I really appreciate all the details that was put into the costumes, the skirts, the different headdresses for different positions. Once Zi Jin became a concubine, her headdress changes, and I really likes the two pearls that hang on her head. The production of this drama went all out when it comes to showcasing all the foods, and the different ways of cooking ^^ In term of acting, I thought it was decent with such a young casts compare to story of yanxi palace. Xukai and wu Jin Yan deliver their characters, compare to their characters in yanxi palace zi Jin and zhan ji are totally different, especially xukai going from the great imperial grandson, to crown prince, to emperor ^^ Don't mind the low rating, some dramas with low rating I enjoy more than a drama with high rating.

So the entire casts hadn't been announce yet. Thanks.
