Right on! the rating is so subjective and does not reflect the quality of the drama but merely it's watchability or catering to the broadest possible viewership. We know what we like and even if someone disagrees with our opinion (to quote someone on MDL, my apologies for not giving the credit due)-opinions are like derrières - everybody has one.🤣🤣🤣

coroner in ep 21 performing exorcism is cracking me up!

not trying to discredit this historical thing, but the snuff box looks like something from late 17th and maybe even 18th century. Ming ended around mid 17th. I guess the writer just needed some material evidence.

yes. yes. yes to all your questions

patience my dear. Only 950 people rated it so far and it's already over 8. Give it some time. It will definitely go up through the year. As a fun observation, last year, I put in my notes the rating on Hard to Find. it went up from 6.9 t what it is now. Check for yourself. THAT was another miniseries with great villain (my favorite actor!) and visual buffet!

precisely. Drama is sponsored and airing on specific platform, sometimes exclusively, so they must have lobbied for that one year spacing to keep paying viewers with another year's subscription😁

It's been a year now since s1, so let's hope they will announce soon

yea, actually that is what the regulations are as of 2023. No more than 40 ep and 12 months apart for any continuation, sorry

one can only hope but when Eternal Brotherhood p1 was released people who are hawking Chinese drama industry said that even though they had the s2 ready for release at the beginning of 2024, part 2 could be released no earlier than 12 months after 1. Don't quote me on that, just repeating what they said.

no haters here. Just making fun of this thing. Have you seen Untouchable Lovers???? THAT was something when it came to hair, but I still loved it because it was so immaculate. Highly recommending that drama (UL) regardless of how difficult it is to watch. VERY good adaptation of a fabulous book.

I can see why they did 40-24 split. It makes sense to stop right now in the story. Loving it!

and I am rather happy that he gets what he deserves. In the novel he is just a scumbag, but even here he is such a bad character played well by Miles Wei. In fact, I think this is my idea of justice: you treat someone like crap just because you can, instant karma gets you!

why only wish for 10? what is it that drops your rating? Just curious. I just finished and given it 9.5 but have a feeling it will go up in a few days after I process the entire first part.

yea, if there is anything to be said about the hairstyles this period - UGLY! I would have given this drama 10 but rated 9.5 because I can't stand the hairdos.🤣

never mind. I am halfway through ep 1 and will probably just post comments about the botched translation under each episode before putting it on hold

if someone saw Four Daughters from Luoyang - is THIS anything like that?

unfortunately does not work for me, but thanks! synopsis anyone?

eek. I am going to be busy with line-by-line subtitle editing and complaining. IQIYI sucks!

oh no! I just started! so it doesn't get any better?

any reasons why they jump the time line so much in the last four episodes? I found it annoying. Really wanted to give it higher rating, but in the end it's just 7.5 on par with Guardians of Dafeng
