I'm of two minds about watching this. I like what I see in the trailers but I'm not sure we need another Tian Long Ba Bu. Besides the comments here aren't inspiring much confidence. My first was the HK version of a bygone era and I didn't mind the Jimmy Lin one.
It's only really in the early episodes. Otherwise is a fairly serious show.
It really is a good show and worth watching. Personally I love the romance but it is much more than the romance. There are a lot of aspects to it and it only gets better.
The annoying thing is Qi Yan's words contradicts his actions towards Ruo Yu. He gives her hope by being close…
I understand your point but I also understand his dilemma. He's playing a dangerous, high stakes game and he wants to protect her. But then he can't help himself because she is the only person in the whole world who really gets him. It's very attractive to a man who's been wandering in the desert for a very long time and thirsty for affection.
They don't know Qi Yan saved them, they thought they survived on their own. Qiu Yanzhi found out early that her…
I agree. And I think the crux of the issue is also the fact that nobody except for Cheng Ruoyu undestands Qi Yan or Prince Guang. They think they know him and his agenda but ultimately their perception is entirely wrong. Which means that their strategies don't work against him either.
Did Qi Yan loved Li Zening too? Why he called her name when he was sleeping. Hmmmmmm
I think Qi Yan has abandonment issues. He liked her but she abandoned him in his hour of need. He hasn't forgiven her for it. I don't think he's still in love with her. Certainly not with Cheng Ruoyun in the picture.
"Qi Ang. Did you see that? Even if I've already become a demon, in facing such a girl, how can I not like her?…
What a great line that was... "When faced with such a girl it's impossible not to like her" Encapsulates their entire push-pull perfectly. It's heart-rending watching him torture himself like this.

Yup. That's what I said too. I don't have a problem if they want revenge but the plot to overthrow Qi Yan and Qiu Ziliang was pretty weak. Still the "third party" is pretty masterful. ;)
Wow... so much irony. It was Qi Yan who saved them all and they are trying to kill him. Unbelievable. That General Han... is such an idiot. Then and now. If he didn't know Qi Yan saved him that's fine. But to stage another coup with so many loose ends. Did he read the Art of War? He's lucky that he found out who Qiu Yanzhi really is.
Somehow I get the impression that you didn't really watch this show.
The reason why I say that is because the picture you paint is completely the opposite to what was shown. I don't understand why you think Qi Yan is lying to himself. He's always blaming himself and taking responsibility for what he did even though the entire Morning Dew Rebellion was much more complex than most people know. He's hardly a coward when he doesn't make excuses or rationalize his part in squashing the rebellion. When Yu'er calls him a good person, he totally rejects that label.
I don't have any issue if people don't like the show and I wouldn't be writing this post. But what you've said contradict the facts as presented in the show.
