thanks for the information, i think i am happier with the drama rather than the book. i see what you mean re the usernames. I think i am probably too old to be your sister. Maybe nearer being your grandmother I am that old. haha.

wow i think the way they went with the drama was better. It would have been a real bummer if Lady Y had succeeded. That is if in the book her character was the same as in the drama.

perhaps it doesn't suit everyone. i guess it comes down to different tastes. Personally i enjoyed it. i have tried many since it finished but can't find anything worth watching. any suggestions.

before airing the team were instructed to cut episodes. I believe is was a 40 episode drama.

this is a silly thing to do, after all it is to do with the livelihood of the whole team from directors to actors to writers to the rest of the crew. Do they really want to harm all those people. It is very immature of them. They need to be careful it doesn't come back on them. It also discredits the ratings websites and harms those as well. it gives a very bad impression to those of us around the world.

i love how one moment its serious and then it slides effortlessly into a comedy moment. The acting is so good. The timing of these moment just perfect. The balance just brilliant.

The male lead i have seen in another drama which had a far more interesting story than this. Perhaps this one is more for younger people. i have managed to stick it out until episode8, but i will leave you all here to continue to enjoy it. perhaps i am too old for this one.

i feel the same, i keep looking for something to move on to, but i find myself back here. I need something that will grab me in the same way. haha i am hopeless.

i watched the first 5 episodes of the Legend of Zang Hai but it just didn't grab me. I watched the first episode of TPOB and i couldn't stop. before i knew it i was on episode 9. i guess its just different tastes.

Qiao Fan sacrifices herself, Bi Zhi survives

Qiao Fan sacrifices herself, Bi Zhi survives

yes. that did happen

its all a matter of taste really. i have watched both and i prefer this one. LLTG was good in places but i found the middle a little boring. though i did stick out until the end.

i keep writing this, 2 or 3 episodes had to be cut before airing. that may be why the end feels a little rushed. There was a post at the beginning noting this. hope this helps

they were required to cut 2 or 3 episodes before airing.

these links were really helpful thanks so much

they were required to cut 2 or 3 episodes before airing. Apparently the rules were changed between the filming of this drama and the airing which was delayed.

there is a link above in the discussions section of the novel in english

I tried the first 5 episodes of Legend of Zang Hai but it didn't grab me at all. I may go back and look again. I just think this age thing is so weird. Still it takes all sorts to make a world. I have love, laughter, and sons and grandson in my life. Happy days. And i have found some Cdrama's which i find entertaining. It also gives me a view of other cultures, history, and society, so i will go off and read sometimes about periods in history relating to what i have been watching.
