Thank you so much! This is great. Now I am even more hyped XD

The cast looks great, I am in love and the plot is totally up my alley.

Best love Triangle in all of dramaland! <3

This is the first period drama in China that even features a black guy. Even if you see that as a bad thing and are enraged atm about how they are using this, I think this is how it is going to start. Back in the days we Wersterners did Blackface n shit bc we didn't want black people to play any roles. Rather just paint a white person.
I think every nation goes through certain steps and Asia is already tamer then we were. They are coming from an underdeveloped country with rich history, mostly being shut in and seeing nothing but themselves to where they are now and that in like 50 years or so? In china just the last generation ago (my friends parents) were still married off by their parents. Now women can chose to marry the guy they want not what their parents tell them. You might not like the slow speed of how Asia is adapting to race, or gays or what not but I think this is a step forward, rather than back.
Let there be black people and some might say something inappropriate but hopefully there will be another drama with a black person, maybe an indian/etc, and people will adapt to this.
But it has to start somewhere. Not saying that a start like that is pretty, neither was ours. But cut Asia some slack.

I will give it a try :D

I don't see the problem. I didn't feel that it was insulting. Also, it plays in an ancient setting. Did they EVER see a black man in those times? I doubt it. They got over the fact that he is black right away and have you seen how cute his pupil was when her shifu showed up, too hardwarming aww After his first appearence they just treated him like every other character. I have no idea how they should introduce a black character in an ancient drama without having people react to it.
I think you are blowing it out of proportion here.

I am just glad that it once was on YT so other websites could copy it haha

I am so glad to see that this got subbed! Looking forward to watching it. I loved our ML in all the other works he has done :3

I am so sad for your ML to have acted with someone like that. It feels like her daddy got her into acting and gets her all these roles. At her lvl she should be supporting cast (at best). I hope she will improve with the coming years...
However, I think you should still give it a try and watch at least till the mid of the drama. (To me) she only got bad after the middle part. Maybe bc that is when the romance starts and she just does not have any chemestry.

I would watch it anyway. I didn't mind her at all for about half the series. She was fine, nothing special and only later in the serious I found out how dead her acting actually was. So frustrating but Zhang Ruo Yun (ML) was too good for me to not finish the drama anyway. I must say though, I was totally digging his costume and his eyes. <3
So give it half the drama and if you start getting bored with the looks/story, then just drop it. But at least you have seen the good parts ;)

Thank you so much <3

I also like watching BTS when I am stuck, especially the ones form 'The Untamed' are so great. But also the BTS of 'The Legends', 'Eternal Love', 'Better Love Than Immortality' and 'Peach Blossom' are fun. Totally agree with the Guardian and Suspicious Partner (also has good BTW) recommondations. Mad Dog was great too but Duel I still have to watch :3

I would recomment this after a short break from drama land. You need some patience to sit down and properly take it in. It is so worth it though!

Sure, I actually sawy go princess go before fake phoenix :3 I want to watch more series like these but they are so rare or not translated x.x

I do! I wish there was more out there like that. I had a lot of fun XD
I also love the Eternal Love, I am mid watching the 2nd season right now. Only 3 more episodes to go. I can't wait for the 3rd season! <3

I do the same. I am so glad for mydramalists tags. Really saving my life <3

When I fall in a similar hole I ask myself what happened?! Having had so many great things in life to enjoy only now to find new stuff boring, how did it come so far? Is it the dramas or is it me?!
What happens to me is that I over ate on all the things I already know I love and I am closing up to new things. Not funny drama or not romantic ones can be just as good and I did enjoy some in the past but whenever I over ate I only want funny ones which are not too serious.
What I do at times like these is, I keep away from dramas, especially not rewatch my beloved ones again. When reality/real life settled in again I open up to new experiences again. I find myself liking a drama I wouldn't have had the patience for before.

My guilty pleasure. I come back to this way too often ^^

Right, but it has nothing to do with each other. I like both, though. Work a watch :3

There is just one inconsistency I don't like, sometimes FL is kicking ass and other times she is acting weaker than any girl in danger ever would.
