this is getting better and better, hopefully they can keep this standard up until the end. But only having one episode is a real pain. The battle today was terrific.

As someone who only watches dramas for entertainment, rather than to analyse every detail, I watched and enjoyed to a point this drama, my preference is for the Coroner's Diary. This drama was so different, I thought the actors did pretty well with what they were given. It was like watching the story unfold, but then the actor would explain oddball reasoning for what had occurred. I quite like the ML, i watched him in The Double. I think it is really sad when some reviewer give bad reviews because they have taken a dislike to one of the actors. I mean why bother watching. I saw a review for TPOB that was 1.0 what is the point except to harm an actors reputation. I mean its nonsense.. They are just sad people, i suppose no point in getting upset about it. They devalue themselves rather than the drama when the overwhelming reviews rate the drama much higher.
we can't all be wrong.

its happened before, TPOB has 1 and 3 and 5 star reviews it was crazy that this site did not do anything about it. I guess its so sad people who seem to thrive on bitterness and disappointment within their lives. ah well it takes all sorts to make the world.

just finished this drama, it is a story that needs to be told. But it isn't just in China that this happens. What i found heartbreaking is how it portrayed the effect on the family left behind as well as the victims. I applaud this hard hitting drama, the actors and crew did a terrific job. many thanks to them all for doing such a brilliant job.

i agree TPOB is far superior. the actors here are doing a good job with this one however they can only work with what they are given. the fight scenes are very good, but i think the comedy moments don't really work as well.

just reading elsewhere that Zhuo Ye's voice may have been dubbed, if so why didn't they use a less feminine voice, there is a listing for a dubbing actor for her. I am puzzled.

The Prisoner of Beauty,

i agree this is overrated, however it is good, but not as good as TPOB in my opinion others may disagree, and thats fine. We all like different things. i am enjoying this one however some of the earlier episodes felt like they didn't move forward at all.

for me TPOB is better, however i am enjoying parts of this, i was just rewatching ep 12 how do you get a silly woman running into the field of battle and causing what could be a fatal wound, later no apology, no taking responsibility, nothing, and then we get the wittering doctor asking should i call her miss or mrs, i mean come on, that dialogue isn't even funny, its just stupid. i am cross because i really want this one to be equally good, i have been looking forward to it. fun stuff should be funny not stupid. In TPOB they had serious moments that would glide into amusing moments effortlessly, and be funny. Perhaps the writer here just doesn't do funny very well. Anyway fingers crossed this one will finish off well. i so want it to.

oh i forgot to mention the food, TJC can come and cook for my anytime. I am not a very good cook, but i try. ha ha.

it's a real pleasure to be back here again. I cannot believe it is 2 years since i first watched this drama. i wonder back now and again when i need something soothing with brilliant music, a lovely story, and great acting. nothing better to warm the soul. Its also lovely to see this comments page still up and running with new viewer for this drama. TJC has such a wonderful speaking voice, lovely and rich, and when he is singing its just bliss.

i was not going to comment on her health as everyone has seen the updates. This young lady needs some space and time to recover, both physically and mentally. I hope she has good friends and family around her. Its going to take a long time for both. I still would like to wish her well. I am also a private western person with a wee bit of medical knowledge. But it is not my place to discuss this.

this is my worry, anyone who is important in the story knows HeYan is a girl really early on, but she remains blissfully unaware. Really, how is that possible. The commander knows she is lying but still keeps her around. Why. Only and absolutely brilliant twist in the coming episodes can save this drama from being "much ado about nothing" It just doesn't hold my attention and i am really really sad about it.

I was really looking forward to this drama, but i have to say i am finding it really really slow.

as a C-drama fan i just wish her well. Hopefully all will be sorted and she will be able to recommence her career once she is well enough, if that is what she wants.

P.S. i still think it deserved the 9.1 rating it started with, i did put it higher. sorry but i liked it.

thank you for the reply. i will keep watching, even though at times the stories are quite painful.

isn't it wonderful, when i first watched this drama during airing, i found this comments page. it added so much to the waiting and fun of watching this drama. I think it is lovely how it is still going. I come back now and again to have a little top up, this is my favourite historical romance drama after journey to love. I did watch Blossom also which i thought was good, but TPOB is much more than good, its brilliant, I laughed, cried, and applauded how well it was acted, and the brilliant way they went from dark and ominous to comedy was so smooth it is a real delight to watch. no doubt i will come back again for another top up. meantime if anyone has any suggestions for something else to watch it would be much appreciated.

they were instructed to reduce the number of episodes by 3 or 4 before it could be aired. maybe someone has more accurate info on this. it should have been 39 or 40 episodes.
