I didn't appreciate his acting in his earlier works; however, I thought his acting and the series he was in were pretty good starting with The Love Last Two Minds. The series has a stiff personality written into the story line for him so it helps. His acting seems to be ok so far for the sad parts, he's not crying buckets like other actors but he is tearing up and it looks realistic. I agree with other reviewers that this is a hidden gem, not boring at all, no skipping so far.

I like more action myself and less politics. Unfortunately though, The Double is hard to surpass as it was so superior to most other series.

I don't disagree with your statement in whole. I rated it the highest it could get. I wish though that there had been a little less crying scenes and more action as the crying scenes already got their point across at 1,000 watt power. What can I say, I'm a sucker for action scenes balanced out with crying scenes. Everyone has their likes but I hear the point you are making.

I think they meant to name the series, The River of Tears, lol. One of the higher rated series of the year. Very enjoyable; however, the person who wrote in the comments section awhile back that there were too many teary moments as all of the leads were crying much of the time had a good point.

I was bored with Love Games In Eastern Fantasy by ep 4 so I skipped ahead to ep 7 before giving up and was glad that I did. The story took off and wasn't that oft-putting cutsie stuff like the beginning. In the end, this series might be more for people who enjoyed Story of Kunning Palace, The Double, Blossom In Adversity.

It shows how good an actor he is that only the one sister likes him and the rest of us are going yech, ugh.

I didn't realize I saw her before in Handsome Siblings until you mentioned it. Yes, she hasn't improved much then as that was filmed a long time ago.

Im watching it but I agree with you about the severe wig on ML. Unfortunately, they are still doing that in today's series. They put a nice wig on ML in the beginning of Fall in Love with a Fox, and then put the same severe wig on him for the entire next segment that doesn't go with his facial features. Let's hope it's not coming back big time.

It's not the best or worst series. I just skip the food scenes if they go on for too long. There is action, a message about betrayal, love, etc.

Enjoyed this one. ML great, good acting and showed the right emotions at the right time. FL needs more work to hone her skills - stone-faced throughout.

Ahh, makes sense. Thanks for the background. These little tidbits make the story more interesting.

The costumes for this series look stunning. Great pairing of leads.

ML had changed the ending to a happy ending by the book signing. I agree with you in that it had a "The Untamed" ending where you just hear him call her name at the end and no real closure for visually seeing the HE for everyone. This is typical of c-series where they often spend so much money on the earlier episodes that they end up making an abrupt ending.

She really didn't have a lot of time with the first guy so it's easy to like the magistrate's son as well.

I had to skim through episode 1 again as the eps are coming out so few and far between that I forgot the story. I should have waited until the series was completed but now I'm hooked.

I'm cracking up that, every time something dramatic happens, a different woman puts a cape around our ML's shoulders. It's like he's a kid who can't dress himself, lol.

Agree. That's the best part.

Loving this off-the-chart chemistry between our leads. It's funny that, every time she looks him in the eyes, his tough exterior melts and he can't figure out why he has this feeling that there is a connection between them.

So far, it's living up to what you would expect from this type of genre. I keep wishing the episodes would come out sooner.

Yes, it has to be someone with incredible power.
