i am just taking a break, my nerves are shattered i still have 2 episode to go. but if you say the end was rushed is it because i read on here they were asked to cut 2 or 3 episodes. right back to it if my nerves can stand it.

it is indeed great script writing, It would seem that the whole crew from actors, directors, scripts, cinematography, everyone seems to be working towards the same goals, which i think it what is making this such an unforgettable experience for us all. the balance between light and dark, from serious to comedy, really has been outstanding. The music is the icing on the cake. We only see the end result, which is of course a throughly outstanding drama. Sometimes we forget all the behind the scenes collaboration that in this case has worked so well. Pity the rating for me is a little low. I believe it deserves more than 9. however it does all depend on how they finish it off. But they have managed to keep the pace and the standards high throughout so i believe we will see more outstanding episodes to finish it off. I am sad that it is coming to an end, but excited to see how they finish it off.

I am just re-watching whilst waiting, the music is great and a love how they slide in the lighter more amusing moments the balance is just right. LYN is imposing in his role of Clan leader, he voice solid and deep, and of course his stature almost like a different person when he is with his wife, who looks quite delicate and gentle, but she is strong and resilient. The balance they found is quite brilliant

heaven knows what time it will be for me, it use to be around 11am but the last few episodes its been 1pm in the afternoon.

i am a very forgiving person when it comes to drama, so long as it is an interesting story, with a well written script, brilliantly directed with actors giving of their very best, and boy did they. the actors were just brilliant, i want for no more. perhaps because i am probably much older than most here. I just relax and allow myself to be swept along with the story. This drama had me hooked within 5 mins of episode 1. i meant to stop there but i binge watch all 9 episodes that had already been released, and i just could't stop. i cannot tell you how much i have enjoyed myself, not just with the drama but also finding this chat page where people expressed how they felt about the latest episode had been an added enjoyment for me. whether good or not so good comments, it does give pause for thought, and reflection. many thanks for your replies i have read them with interest.

now the challenge is on to find another good drama to follow on. mmm i came across this one quite by chance. what a happy accident it turned out to be.

i know what i will do when this drama finishes, i will go back to the beginning and watch again. It is so good, and with every re-watch you can see something new that you didn't notice before. It has been a real joy, but only having one episode a day is really hard. I think the rating is still a little low. I have really enjoyed reading all the posts on here. its my first visit, and i have to say that it has been part of the fun and experience of watching such a great drama will all here and reading you feelings and reactions even the slightly negative ones.

oh dear a 2 hour delay, fortunately for me its still morning so i have the time. I guess for some it is evening time so it won't be so easy to work with the change of schedule. lets hope when it arrives the subs are good.

no worries we all see things in our own way. your post was interesting to me. I am tempted to read the book.

yes Wei Shao separates out his private life from his public responsibilities. You can see and feel the changes.

fortunately or not, we did not analyse to such a fine detail, just understood that to flood the plains would stop the reinforcements getting through.
call it poetic license if you like. some is forgivable, for the story, isn't it.

i wonder if the difference between the two is that A'Fan only sees a small picture Boya, husband, home. Whereas Manman sees a bigger picture, Not just husband, home, but a much bigger picture, she sees the land, and the people who deserve to live in peace. This attack on the Wei and Qiao clans is only about power and revenge and personal. They don't care about the land and the people.

i agree, i watched a few episodes yesterday and to be honest i can't get into the story. TPOB had me hooked in the first 5 mins of episode 1.

wasn't it brilliant to see ManMan's brother Qiao Ci fighting along side them with Wei Shao's brothers spear in hand. The Qiao's and the Wei's together.

a feast for us all.

thanks all, i know it is asking a lot, I haven't what "When life gives you tangerines" But i rate this higher than Blossom, which i enjoyed. But i have to say i am more into historical dramas.

its killing me this one episode a day. i will just have to keep busy with other stuff. at least some of you can go to sleep now, its daytime here, i will rewatch this episode later. at least the subtitles were good today unlike yesterdays, it all made sense. I think Manman's cousin didn't help because she was afraid of loosing everything she holds dear. As a woman you can understand it, but Manman was fighting for all she holds dear including her homeland and the man she loves.

I feel the rating is still a little on the low side. i think it deserves a 9.4 ish. for me it is much better
than dramas i have watch with an over 9 rating.
