How I wish they have some sort of editor. Though Viki is really slow the subtitle is better.

To be honest it happens to me then I have to research. Don't worry you're not alone. Chinese names are very confusing specially if they are royals. I'm kind of used now. In C-dramas or real life there's a lot of names for a king or emperor. Such as: a) They have given birth name; b) nicknames; c) official title - this is when he's just a prince; d) official emperor/king's title; e) temple name when he's dead. For sure I missed something.:O

Well it's always nice to know other's perspectives or the so called critiques.:O Nice to have exchange of opinions even if its of opposite ones. I would rather have it objectively done instead of being persnickety. But, if you'll just depend on that feedback you'll miss out a lot of good dramas. Sadly perhaps a lot of people will forgo watching this after viewing her video.

I believe the newer ones posted in 2020 are not that bad or later part of 2019. I've been dying to finish Spy Hunter and when I finally able to continue...dang! What a joke! I was extremely frustrated. This drama is so good that I don't watch it with bad subs. Also the ones on Youtube that Mango did is only up to episode 11 and they have better subtitle.

Tonight will be episodes 29 & 30 and we're still dealing with him. He's one of the main villains so as for C-drama he will survive perhaps until the end.

Translations of this show is quite bad. If you first watch it without reading the synopsis you can be easily misled or confused. They keep referring to prince Jing Ling as king and prince Peng Cheng is also a king. What? Beggars can't be choosers sometimes with cheap iQiyi. I was glad I finally signed up for this app because I've been wanting to finish Spy Hunter (ones available on Youtube with subs is only up to episode 11). Deeply disappointed with the subtitle that I can't continue watching it. Pardon me but what a horse shit!

LOL! I will borrow your metaphor and indeed I also "lost all my muscle control." I checked it out and can't finish watching it. I agree a small portion of her rant but come on! She's trying to be a known and worst NYT critique or somewhat. Looks to me that she only watch the show to pick it apart.

For sure they will endure more suffering. I want to find the screenwriter and wring his/her neck including that of the director for allowing this farce to happen. They just need to fictionalized it and indicate from every episode that the events being shown are fiction.

I agree. What's up with that? These flaws are downright moronic. It defies logic for me that the prince's power does not supersede that of Lu Yuan - that he can just easily question & disregard his superiors without serious ramification. OK we saw that once, he was removed from his power but then somehow he's back again making use of his army. Well there are explanations for his actions or mentioned flaws however it's such a stretch. Ahhh! Chinese dramas really defies everything!

Breathed a sigh of relief from women's cat fight. Thank god.

You missed the memo.

It's not as hot as True Blood.:O

It's a kill joy but isn't that part of their job as actors? Yup prudish is the word.

LOL! Probably not for you. Love the era and story. ML is head over heels infatuated with the FL fr different backgrounds. Ahh I remember you would hate this. Adore this kind of story such Cruel Romance, Lady & Liar...

I find this no kiss/intimate policy funny and I noticed this in both C & K dramas. A lot of scenes where it calls for physical intimacy but no the couples kept their distance even. It exasperates me - naturally in real life I would have hug & kiss my partner when it comes to those scenes in question. Probably I'm too amorous & tactile.:O Or the directors & screenwriters are too frigid or even the actors themselves.

Wallace Chung is the only C actor I've seen so far on TV that does really give a tongue-kiss. Seems to be a good kisser. Check out Too Late To Say I love - what a LOVELY story. Set during the Republican period where the so called "War Lords" reigned in their own turfs.

Alright! I'll definitely take that tip. Hey I've watched some German ones before it weren't that much work except for subtitles.

Yup! Exactly that! I would have love her to give him a smooch. Really. There seems to be censor in China with on screen physical intimacy, am I right or no?

:O I love Pam. I'm actually planning to check that out.

I'm not sure but I saw some spoilers more of it were spent outside & partly inside. Lige will definitely suffer in the succeeding episodes but more from Lu Yuan & her master.

In fairness so far it only happened with eps 25 & some parts of 26.
