I'm like you. Xukai is the only actor that I watched multiple dramas back to back my first was story of yanxi palace, the legend and then I just went to look for more dramas of his to watch. I think he's really good at picking scripts, when the drama failed expectation it's usually because of bad edits and bad writing on second half, and in all those dramas I love his speaking voice or the one who dub him just really matching his characters, but all this time i thought it was his own voice since I'm not familiar with the language so the dubbing is not a bother. Also his eyes are so expressive, i find myself always focus on his eyes, they're very beautiful ^^

Thanks for telling me ^^ So you're not into palace dramas, court lady and story of yanxi palace are also very good dramas of xukai if you're interested in watching all his dramas ^^

Just curious what are the six dramas you seen of xukai?

I wouldn't go that far to say they lose interest in each other since from the very beginning it was ml chasing after fl, while fl was totally disinterested due to her first impression of him. It was only through sharing a room with him, and having to go through some sad experiences and hardships together that her impression of him change. Also fl only recognized her feeling for ml after she change her room, and accept his feeling for her as real and not just him playing around with her. I think this drama manages to stand on its own even without the romantic scenes between the main leads. The support roles also help adding to the richness of this drama and not taking away from it although it does felt jarring when ml just went missing from the drama and fl and sml have too much screentime together.

In China, good look matters more than acting skill. In dancing of the sky empire, the actress playing the princess already has main roles. If she leaves her agency, will she be treated better, doubtful.

There is a translation of novel in the recent discussion topic. I haven't read novel, so I can't help you.

No, I watched this drama so long ago.

Just slight bromance between ml and the doctor and ml and the one in the wheelchair forgot his name. Both guys are kind of like friends to the ml and he would get advice from them.

This is one drama that has the least angst compare to most of his other dramas, and it's also set in modern time.

No there is no season 2 in the making yet. I wouldn't mind a season 2 though ^^

You're right it's really up to your preference which one you like more since both are high quality dramas that has the focus on fl, I happen to just like this drama more for it's content that cover a wider topic and not just focus on the king's harem ^^

You can try Google it?

The fl make up is just fine, what matter is if it fits her. I think she looks real pretty. Xukai will look good with any hairstyles we agree on that.

I'm glad it picked up for you. And glad to help ^^

I had the same problem when I first watched it, there are lots of dialogues that I have to pause to read lol. Didn't stop me from watching this drama without any skipping though. For some people the drama picked-up around ep 10 and fl became more mature after she went for training by herself.

Since I like this more than yanxi palace and do see the similarity between both fl. In my opinion both of the fl have very strong personality and are not sway by emotion. They have their own goal, the fl in this at first want to get marry to ml, but once she enter the palace and trap there, she chooses to make the best of her situation as a result she kept rising in rank, her way is to always do the right thing and in turn she gain lots of friends and allies. I agree she's a responsible person, if she only care about herself, she wouldn't feel so guilty about leaving the palace. This drama also depicts many side characters living outside the palace and that what I like about it compare to yanxi palace. Ml is a general so we get to see him in battle and using strategies to win, really loving that too ^^

I hope for this drama they'll have good sub and we don't have to wait too long for the sub.

He's afraid if she has her memory she will make the same sacrifice again as befits the chief god. He wants her to break off with him completely, by making her think he has change and not the guy she fell in love with. We can speculate he never meant for her to get back her memory of him, so she could move on and live a completely independent life with their son once he's gone.

I disagree with u. Fl in this drama does have a goal, she wants to do her part and contribute to her country by preventing wrongs done by the more powerful. Even when she left the palace with ml, she was thinking of ways to persuade him to comeback because of her duty to the queen. That was one of the major reason that cause a misunderstanding between them, and in my opinion fl loves ml but she consider her duty to her country more importance than him, and that's why ml and fl could only be together in the end when she finished her duty to the queen and king.

About fuheng and er qing, she knew he was in love with someone else, and she set ying luo to get caught by the emperor forcing fuheng hand, so I don't feel any sympathy for her. Also fuheng told her to give him time, so I guess her love for him is not very strong, it was only a year and she already reveal her true color. The emperor has many wives not just the empress, the blame goes to him when they turned bad since like I said how you blame fuheng to er qing turning bad. In my opinion you can still have a good marriage without love, women are practical creatures, in that time period what matter for a woman is survival. Ying luo is smart so I see her as someone who could give up love for survival, since she's a strong woman, and she knew what she has to do to get the emperor's love.
