Agreed. There were so many 'hidden' meaning that transpired through actions or facial interactions between the two male leads. ZSC is so attractive and remarkable as a character to me because his maturity, integrity, astute, political acumen, humanistic approaches, and calm demeanor. He is like the 'father' of the nation at such a tender age; respected and loved by many. Hoping to see this in the modern version as well. Enjoy.

Same! In total agreement with your last paragraph and it being a masterpiece!

There is a profound and deep meaning in his last note to her. 🥲 Throughout this drama, he, in his own manner, professes deep fondness/care/etc. Can't wait for Forever and Ever to come on although I will miss the other actors (i.e. Monk, disciples, Prince from PinYin, etc) from this drama. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yep! I’m taking a break for a few hours from this drama. I’ve been re-watching all day particularly episode s11 to 17! I don’t want my family to think I’m obsessed with this drama lol 😂

Agreed; it is actually getting 9's on Chinese sites. Glad it is getting good reviews there (I'm in the US).

I just saw that! Ty. Such a pity since I am enjoying the dynamics of the other characters/players in this drama as well. I also liked the Huan Yuan and young disciple add on. 🤩👍 Enjoy. I've been replaying the eps at the gym/home/etc. lol

Oh no, I got the logistics of what transpired in ep 13/14 but was wondering the reception of the drama within China. Since people can purchase advanced eps 17 to 24, I am hoping to see more previews of future eps! 🤩

Wish I could do more justice to the translation but it appears she is betrothed to evil prince again and she does not want to part from her love....🥲🤦🏻‍♀️ Tbh, this is one of the dramas I've been waiting for new episodes. Have been disappointed by what is out there. ENJOY! Can't wait for Forever and Ever. Am hoping for others (i.e. monk/prince, other disciples, etc) to be reincarnated as well in Forever and Ever.

I was wondering the same thing; this is great to hear about the reception in China! The novel was really good; I completed the translated version in a weekend lol 😂 🤦🏻‍♀️ Ty.

Saw previews for ep 15/16 as well. 😞 😞 The hug/tug, tears, and nose/forehead touch! Bittersweet....

I liked her in the legend. Can’t wait for this weeks episodes! I read the translated version of the nausea and can’t wait for forever and ever! 🤩

I know what you mean, in regards, to chemistry with FL (Bai Lu), etc. In my subjective opinion, he looks mature and best (so far ;P) in this drama. Didn't know him until this surprisedly good drama.
I'm skipping through his first few work(s), i.e. The Glory of Tang Dynasty I & II (eps 60 and 32 respectively). His chemistry with FL (JT) in it is not too bad. Enjoy! =)

Definitely shipping the side characters as well. =). If you read the novel, you can see ML's demeanor in modern times are similar to the plife. I'm liking the comments section and others who are liking this or pleasantly surprised by this drama like me! Enjoy....

Thanks! I am surprised by how much I’m liking this and hoping more people will enjoy it as well! 👍

He he ep 10?! Lol I have rewatched the main leads and older advisors scenes! At times Cdramas side characters annoy me but not this one! Can’t wait for new episodes!

Your assessment is correct; Allen looks best in this drama so far. Another commenter mentioned their attraction to his aloofness lol 😂

Agreed with your sentiments above! There are lots of junks or overrated dramas out there and being a fan of K-dramas more than C-dramas, I have been surprised by how I have replayed some of the episodes! The chemistries between some of the couples are so adorable. Allen's maturity in looks and the craft are appealing. Keep on enjoying! =) I'm looking forward to the modern sequel for the HE.

@Sunset I'm so ready for the revenge part to start! Done with the evil ML already but realized that they will dragged this out since its 120 eps. *facepalm lol

@sunset All I can say is when I read your reply, I had a BIG smile and agreed with you! =)

@sunset After Phoenix 2020, I skipped AF. Waiting out for AF to complete for the evening makjang (auto complete keeps wanting to correct it to making) *Facepalm. Agreed on 2nd ML being a better fit on Red Shoes. After Miss Monte Cristo, these two are improvements! lol

Disappointed with Seo In Guk's return in DWL. Hoping his next drama will be better.

Liking the grandma character's in 2nd hubby but can't stand the douche bag fiancé and his mom. lol Sry for my candor!

Btw, did you catch any of that trashy show, Love (ft. Marriage...) season 1 and 2? I keep investing to see the wives succeed and the cheating husband miserable...URGH! What a let down.

Thanks for well wishes and reply! I recognize the mom on Red Shoes but have seen the FL from 2nd Husband in other making. Who do you want the FL to be with on Red Shoes? ;P. So far, I am liking 2nd Husband more. WBU? Pls don't think I'm a 'b' for saying this but I wish both dramas have better male eye candies to look at. Sigh lol

I'm waiting for Park Hyungsik's return and more KSH! *Blush Blush

Lovers of the Red Sky?!! I'm a big KYJ fan. Nowadays, none of the weekdays kdramas are keeping my interest; weekends are filled with Penthouse, Nevertheless, and Devil Judge. =).

Alway fun catching with ya.
