I agree so much Sunny! I started this drama several times but was interrupted. This weekend, I thought "what the heck" and now I am having episode withdrawals after binging. I'll have to watch Nirvana in Fire if it can match the acting and intensity.

I agree 100 percent! I've rewatched episodes, keep up with postings. Bloody Romance withdrawals are the worst!

It's crazy how much emotional investment takes place with the five main characters. There seems to be foreshadowing for each one to have an unpleasant ending, so tomorrow's episode promises to be a wild ride.

I was shouting at the tv for him to do the same thing! I'm thinking I might need therapy after tomorrow's episode.

Episode 21 completely gutted my soul.

Thank you so much for the suggestions! Unfortunately, I need English subs but a lot of times, I watch the dramas without and then with subs later. The acting, direction and story telling of the Chinese and Korean drama market have me addicted.

I am not ready for Bloody Romance to be over! Does anyone have a recommendation for another series?

Well said YDW!

I went out the Wikipedia to find more details about the Russo-Japanese war and found China to be another victim of the conflict. Teddy Roosevelt helped broker the peace treaty which allowed the Korean Peninsula to be a Japanese maritime gateway and the Korean economy became subordinate for Japanese needs. Again, I have to thank this drama for allowing me glimpses of their history that I was absolutely ignorant in. My admiration definitely extends to the Korean nation for their national determination in the face of frequent invasion and wars.

New drama discovery: it's possible for me to be in love with all three male leads. This drama has me on the edge of my seat, hanging onto every word and action. LOVE.

This show is total perfection! I know the pacing was slow at the first but the attention to detail in each character's back story has lent to nothing but edge-of-the-seat storyline towards the back end. Mr. Sunshine is the truly like a work of art and novel carefully unfolding into a masterpiece.

Thank you so much for your input and clarification during this series run. Would you consider writing a critique of this series and why you liked / disliked it? Part of my Bloody Romance enjoyment was reading the behind the scenes and interpretations that you presented.

Erudite - I have no clue how I could watch this show without your comments and insight. Thank you so much!

Joanne - where are you watching it at? I've mainly viewed it through YouTube but the english subs have stopped at episode 14.

You said it well....

It is a huge tribute to the actors that I'm barely able to watch the hurtful scenes between the two. I cannot imagine why his he siding with the female cobra other than to try to protect Nan Qiao in the position he's in. I know the director of the drama stated that Shi Yue operates in the grey area of morality.

I am addicted to this show and I couldn't agree more that I hope she drags his heart out of his body and stomps on it for a good five to six episodes. I love how they have written the female leads character!
