I just noticed that it got extended to 150 eps! WTF??!! I was ready for this to end; sry. π€£π€¦π»ββοΈ I'm so ready for YJK to get what she deserves!
Agree with most of your points. Song Yi's character did mature towards the end, though. When the older brother…
Thanks; please see my reply below. I also agreed with you on LR's character. ..... Agreed with @XINwei below on how LR did mature towards the end (even though her scenes were truncated to a minimal). As previously stated in one of my replies, I enjoyed the scenes between LR and Baili because I believed she would bring forward character development for Baili (which she successfully did).
This drama deserves a higher rating than 8.2. Great acting - HX, VS and WYB fully inhabited their chapters - also…

As previously stated in one of my replies, I enjoyed the scenes between LR and Baili because I believed she would bring forward character development for Baili (which she successfully did).
In addendum to her annoying Erlang calls, I also find at times that she impeded him on missions by being clingy, etc. However, this became understandable since she probably felt insecure (as a 18 yrs old new bride). Kudos to her for putting up with Baili and winning him over with her love/devotion (I personally would have punched him and I like WYB π€£). She also 'helped' in her own ways.
Finally, I really liked how she got along with other female characters! Tbh, I'm tired of the portrayal of female leads being jealous, manipulative, and cunning women who are out for other female characters! This alone is a good portrayal of female characterization. Like you wrote above, there were many competent and powerful women in this drama and if you rewatch some of her scenes, you might find that she is one of them as well.
Some of my friends here also found that LR to be annoying but I find it healthy to have differences in opinions and still ENJOYED this drama (even with its flaws).
I expected GBZ to be kiiled but not WSY!!! I really don't mind if any of the lead character dies if it fits the…
π€£π€£ on your good for nothing brother comment; I can't believe his only punishment was to repent at a temple (with his dad) for 'murder' attempt that resulted to a death! π€¦π»ββοΈ
Saw the preview for episode 39 and it's horrifying
I know, right?!! π€ Why would they provide such a happy/peaceful ending spoiler/preview like that (unless they want to 'mislead' us? I have appreciated this comment(s) section for this drama filled with people like you and others! Keep on enjoying....
This drama takes place during Wu Zhao dynasty (690-705) when Wu Tzetian reigned as emperor in her own right and…
Thanks la π€£ for sharing this information and for being gracious; dm'ed you. Feel special for being privy to this as well as for the chats. Happy New Year lady!
Saw the preview for episode 39 and it's horrifying
I was going to ask you which preview you saw because I saw the same peaceful ending one from iQiyi but I know what you mean...it all depends on the order placement of that scene, right? Is it in the beginning of ep 39 before all hell breaks lose? lol π€£ Kidding...Hoping for a happy ending.
Believe it or not, I liked the drama the Yang Dynasty (oldie) because the casts ensemble was 'unreal' (The Who's who of the Golden TVB era). Beauties and handsome TVB stars.
Speaking of Wu Ze Tian, do you remember the one with Fong Bo Bo? lol π€£ My beloved mom who lived in HK for a few years watched that one.
Its good to see some TVBs stars in China's productions.
Definitely like historicals/ancients c dramas but can 't get into the Republican eras one.
Enjoy the delish food in HK; we are living vicariously through you.

Thanks for your reviews for Untamed and The Longest Day in Chang'En. I like espionage plots so I'll be checking out the Longest Day soon. Can't seem to get into Untamed. π€·π»ββοΈ
Btw, even though I"m not from Hong Kong, we used to love TVB's dramas (growing up)! Can't seem to be interested in the newer ones. π§§π lady!
I dont mind the romance, bc writers know romance sells, it sold to ppl like me π . If it hadnt any romance at…

At first I couldnβt understand why she keeps addressing him as erlang when thereβs only two of them present lol π However at times I would address others even when thereβs only two of us present prior to talking to them, Especially my elders. Therefore I think itβs a respect thing. Furthermore Iβm not sure what age her character is supposed to be in this drama So her demeanor can come off as unattractive to some. ππ Oh well.,,

Please check out his dancing videos titled: 1) sexy moments and 2) another one is Versace on the Floor; I believe there is a compilation video on u tube and one of the commenters joked with, "Never in my life have i wanted to be a floor so bad." (he ends up dancing on the floor in a few moves..) lol π€£
