Totally agreed! Rise of Phoenix could have been as good also but sadly the later episodes really affected my ratings! The casts were good too especially the ML.

With current pandemic situation it's understandable that all filming would have been stopped/delayed!

Wan'er played an important role in this drama, being the heiress of the Neiku (not sure if I got this correct) asset! Fan Xian seek her for emotional support when Teng Zijeng died. She's brought him comfort during his saddest moments. I love Li Qin too, but I suspect she will be replaced by someone else in S2. Check out Li Qin and Uncle Wushu's profile here and you will know. Hers and his list of upcoming dramas do not have JOL S2. In fact, I suspect some of the casts from My Heroic Husband will appear in JOL S2 and one of them could be playing Wan'er's role! Just my suspicions!

Oops! Wrong person. Allen Ren resembled Ray Lui Leung Wai (Hong Kong actor from The Bund) at certain angle (the younger version of Ray).

Well am one person who preferred good acting with interesting storyline than a pretty face with poor acting. Allen Ren is doing fine here otherwise I wouldn't be eagerly waiting for the next subbed episodes (Am at Ep 12). At certain angle, Allen Ren resembles Zhang Ruoyun (Joy of Life ML). I preferred these MLs who have certain charisma when on screen! As for FLs, they will shut be out with their common annoying and over-reacting childish attitude. Too many of them in Cdramas!!

Am at Ep 12 and so far, liking this drama. At certain angle, Allen Ren resembles Zhang Ruoyun (Joy of Life ML)

Totally agreed!

You are so right, he's such a natural flirt.

During pandemic a lot of filming had slowed down!

I love it too! Forget all negative comments as it is irrelevant as long as you like it!

Slow pacing but it was good and enjoyable to watch. Some dramas are slow and you just want to skip it but not Story of Ming Lan. Honestly, I have watched more than three times already!

Watch till the end ..... what you sow is what you reap!

This is a GOOD DRAMA, you won't regret watching it till the end! It may be slow paced and if it's not interesting I would have dropped it! I like the wittiness of both ML and FL and they were so natural in the character they acted. I like the various characters and the conversation between them. One have to listen to really enjoy this drama!

You misunderstood me. I don't welcome anti or non-antis and am a fan of nobody. I watch drama based on my own preferences. I do agree with Natasja, Yes, I do read people's comments, and will only decide whether to continue or drop the drama based on how the story of the drama is being executed and also the FL and ML characters.

Does it matter to us on the comments/critics made by fans or anti-fans? Do we watch a drama because we like it or are we so easily influenced by other viewers' comments. Other viewers do not determine our preferences, does it?

Wow, I just found this hidden gem!

Try watch Story of Ming Lan, it's completed with Eng Sub.

You can find some of the Joy of Life casts in My Heroic Husband! A light hearted drama to past the days .... ha ha!

Luna Skylar .....*also for those Joy of Life fans, the person playing the bodyguard of the ML is the second prince in JoL haha* No wonder he looked familiar!

Will be difficult to find replacement of the same/exact flair in character. Hope all casts of S1 remain.
