yep! I gave it 8/10 because of some shortcomings, but you are so right about story-driven ones!

wasn't it??? I also found it fascinating!

IKR!? I loved this series. It was just - different!

does anybody hear Wei Wu Xian's flute in the ep 1?????? and their theme Wang Xian in ep 9???

Don't watch Prisoner of Beauty or Lost you forever 😁 actually I just started watching and for a drama made 9 years ago it holds. The newer plots are accentuating fabulous looks whereas here at least some people love her for her personality.

I wonder how they going to adapt all the sexual violence from the novel to the screen? Very brave LYN to take such a horrible role!

Look up The Story of Ming Lan

THANK YOU!!!

oh yea, you gotta watch every episode all the way to 20 to understand who is weak and how and how they stay strong faking weakness.

I think ladies with purses left the building - no threat. But I hear you: watching the lead stumble and fall is no fun if there is no redemption/way out in sight. At this point I am just watching it with the attitude "this is not going to end well and I am here to just absorb the artistry of the drama" My favorite is of course music.

same here - she has that broken down I have given up on myself feel

I just love the opening credits music!

oh, not that it makes sense but as long as I can watch some naked torso on ML and her slightly crossed eyes that are so endearing! I love the FL because she has curves and does not scare me like Halloween skeleton.😁🤣👍

can someone explain how is this drama related to the Gold behind the stone and Rainkissed Fate???? I see actors marked with both titles. Please! because this looks like Rainkissed Fate (rain loves daughters?)

I like both leads and they had been good together in the past. How is this one????

yikes! whoever edited music for this drama was hearing impaired and had no experience in sound framing the scenes. Shish... I am watching Heart of Loyalty concurrently and even though it is an older drama it is beautifully choreographed visually and auditory. Too bad- this production has potential

I hope nothing like Ming Lan which could bore people to death even though it was a good production!

unfortunately. Wondering if director is blind...

me too! when I saw the altar and the empty space I was just chanting: empress in the shadows, empress in the shadows. The brother thing was easy to miss, but the fact that they spent so much time on showing us the excruciating humiliation of ML - that was a dead giveaway

I wish she could do girl love here
