Blocked. Don't have patience with someone who's wasting my time with stupidity.

Seen you here before, but you're apparently not too bright, as saying "Bye" every time someone doesn't like a drama one of your "faves" stars is the best response you always come up with. Something 100 million people have said before you, and they apparently thought it was "cute" too.

How sad to be this unintelligent and unimaginative. But... here we are :)

Let me know when they change her voice dubber as she becomes older -- ROTFL.

If it's garbage, it's garbage. And this is garbage from Episode 1. Nothing in this is worth watching, and I like both Chen Du Ling and Zhou Yi Ran and was looking forward to this (well, until I read the plot synopsis and saw who one of the writers was).

Sadly, all my fears were realized by the end of Episode 1. NO need to watch further. Rated a 5/10 as, if a drama is THIS bad with its first episode, there is little hope of a recovery.

Holy Sheeyut, this is horrible. I LAUGHED the whole way thru the first episodes, as everything about this is amateurish. Sure, it's an idol drama, but it's one of the worst I've seen yet. (Then again, it is Yang Long directing, so probably expected :)

Not even one episode in, and Chen Du Ling's terrible dubbing, that makes the character sound like she's 12-years-old, has grated on my last nerve.

The voice dubbing doesn't match the mouth movement, her acting, and others, is overly-dramatic and amateurish, even the fight scenes are not remotely believable as you can see the choreography SCREAMING "look at ME!!!!" from a mile away, as the actors smoothly go through their paces.

The bland music doesn't remotel fit the scenes (hugely dramatic music when she's arguing with her father is fit for an epic battle scene instead of the scene its musically illusyrating), and the writing is dismal.

Well.. that was an easy drop. Onwards and upwards... ROTFL.

She also sounds like she's 12 years old. I barely finished Ep 1 and it's an easy drop for me. So sick of supposedly strong women in Chinese dramas sounding like children. I just can't anymore.

Amazing how many dramas Yin Zheng has starred in that have been shelved for whatever reason. Such a shame, as he's so incredibly talented.

hahahaha -- that too :)

Sure, because we all want to see a 30-year-old "actress" with a baby voice that makes her sound like she's 3-years-old as the FL in this.

Just stumbled across this as I didn't even know it was already out. But the manga has been one of my favorite BL manga since it first released (read it about 4 times), as the characters are so beautifully written and drawn. And the way their relationship grows is wonderful.

And love, love, love the drama adaptation. Even better than I expected. It's slow, but nicely so, and with so much emotion within the pauses, like only the Japanese can do.

Perfectly cast too. Love Shibuya Kento (he's been acting since he was 6 years old, and you can tell), and it's nice to see Takeda Kouhei back in another BL romance. He was brilliant in Old Fashion Cupcake (another superb BL manga and drama, btw).

You're not missing anything (except Feng Shao Feng's scenes) and I think some of those are on YouTube :)

I'm also glad I had seen Peng Xiao Ran in other dramas before I watched SJFY as, if I hadn't, I would have thought she was the worlds most actress and never watched her again :)

Yep. The editing is horrendously bad, even though they had to cut it down, you'd think they'd at least have kept in some scenes to make the later ones make some sense :)

I fast forwarded through most of the last 5 episodes, and I RARELY fast forward, just slowing it down for Feng Shao Feng's scenes :)

Just watched Shining Just For You. The entire thing is terrible and, IMO, one of Peng Xiao Ran's worst performances as she's one-tone throughout all of it. Only stuck with it for Feng Shao Feng as, even in her worst scenes, he stood out as spectacular.

This is spectacular.

And, at Episode 4, the performance of Yu Kang as The Undertaker is heart-breakingly beautiful.

I'm not sure I've yet recovered. But thankful to have saved you from the same suffering. Hahahahaha.

Sadly, this is still pretty unwatchable everywhere due to horrendously bad subtitles. Just started to watch it on YouTube and, in the first 5 minutes of Episode 1, YOUKU's garbage AI-translated subs had a General shouting "Fire", which was translated into "Fuck". I don't think so :)

Gave up. It's a complicated drama, but YOUKU obviously doesn't care if it's understandable in any other language but Chinese. A pity as it looks amazing.

Just renewed my YOUKU subscription specifically to watch The Imperial Age. Subtitles are NOT understandable throughout a good chunk of it., especially in the conversations, as they're AI-generated.

Sound cuts are so annoying. I've stopped watching most C-dramas on YouTube, unless they were just released, as half the Chinese channels remove the music, which also removes some of the conversation. Stupidity personified.

They're horrible AI-generated subtitles, so much of what's going on makes no sense. I just renewed by YOUKU subscription to watch this and they're literally GARBAGE subs on there as well. Will be nice when Chinese companies join the 21st century :)

She had nothing left to live for. No husband, no father, no money, no job. No future life. She lost everything. What else would she do? And especially in that era, when women alone had no kind of future without someone/money to support them.

Sure, Di Ren Jie figured out who the murderer was, but he did her no favors. That's the problem with legal justice, though. Sometimes, it's no justice at all. While the justice her father meted out for her was exactly what everyone who wronged her deserved.
