ok, now I REALLY feel sorry for that old man from tianqu

Does anyone know if the storyline about yuran in ep 43-45 happen in the book?

i know right. I guess they were going for he was going to help but the kids were 1 step ahead and came and kept stabbing the guy so he went into zombie mode when he saw the blood

episode 38 and asule is still not back in the grasslands...and probably won't be back until next wk..are they pulling a part 1 and 2 like noble aspirations because i don't mind (AKA pls pull a part 1 and 2 like noble aspirations)

He was about to stab the guy but the 2 kids who tried to killed asule in the streets before came and stab the guy and saved the princess. He had a flashback of him killing a lot of people and his sister about to get raped and just cowered in the corner when he saw the blood

that old man from tianqu...he moved from supporting one heir to the next. One is too saint-like and the other don't want to rebuild some lost kingdom. All he wanted to do was things that will help the realm but the kids won't listen lol. kinda feel sorry for him

Bai Zhou Yue

damn what a pretty cast

There were many females in the main lead's life where he respects and love them, whether its familial or romantic. So far, I don't think there was any particular girl the main lead would do anything to get her heart. One of the reason been that his in a complicated position & don't want them wrapped up in it & another reason is because he doesn't have a lot of time left to live. By the time he realises his not going to die and gets stronger, he'll probably be wrapped up in the war. So perhaps he would not get any girl in the end :/

Yea, I think during the wedding, asule basically said 'I've put u at a disadvantaged position/loss' & yuran said 'I am willing (to be in this position so basically no need to be sorry)'. there were times where Yu Ran acts like Asule's wife like visiting him in the mainland, brought him food, welcomed him home when he went off on a job, worrying about him, nagging at him etc. She knows what asule likes and he also knows what she likes. They're so cute together u kind of want them to end up together. And I feel like if they lived together long enough, she will grow to love asule. But I think Yu Ran kissing Ji Yie afterward kind of seals the deal that she's in love with Ji Yie and there's no way back. Perhaps she was very sad because she's the only one who knows that asule likes her and she's feeling regretful because asule is always accomodating towards her (like when she brought him snacks from her hometown but he only ate one piece so she scolded him. He ended up eating everything and said it was yummy. She only found out when she got back that actually all the snacks were spoiled but asule didn't want her to be sad and ate everything)
I'm iffy about the princess too. Even though she loves asule, she has an ulterior motive. With YuRan, she doesn't have an ulterior motive and is in asule's best interest. For example, if Ji Yie and Asule fight and its Ji Yie's at fault, i think YuRan would side with asule. The princess however will make excuses for her brother. I think the princess is too serious and complicated of a person for asule, even though she is sweet, smart and thoughtful. I feel like asule needs a girl who is more straightforward

true, and Yu Ran has always thought asule liked suma from the get go so she never thought of him romantically

ah i think i got my answer for the ring thing haha

It's a spoiler based on the books. I heard people said that there's still quite a few things that need to happen (like for example Ji Ye saving Asule from getting head chopped off is somewhere in the middle of the books and that hasn't happened yet, and i think 3 more major battles). But then again, asule dying wasn't in the books either. And they didn't show asule's life in the grassland so we didn't get to see his relationships with his 4 brothers (which i think is important when we see what happens back in the grassland later on). So probably they'll change a lot from the books. Though I have a feeling the author still wants to keep the ending or the essence of the books the same with the drama series or else it won't be the Eagle Flag series anymore. It'll be interesting how they'll wrap this up in the next 20 episodes.

Wait the thing about the ring: So in the books did Ji Ye exchanged the ring with asule and then become head of the tianqu?

oh yea, I thought he only sent the people with the big armours back. seems like he sent them all back :/

Oh yes! I actually watched the Demon Cat before I knew who he was and loved it. I thought his face looked familiar. I'm currently on nirvana in fire 2 and liking it so far but giving it a rest because there's so many things to watch. I'll def watch Detective Chinatown soon <3

wow, i didn't know she was in 3 dramas already

wah omg. I wonder how they're going to wrap everything up. We're already at ep 34 but I heard there's still so many things that still need to happen to get all the characters to the endpoint of the book

where the heck is asule's uncle when you need him. can't wait for next week

ep 34

I actually enjoy this kind of discussion! When I was watching those dramas, I didn't know the backgrounds of the actors and just took it for what i see haha. Shawn definitely have more experience (perhaps the whole tribes and empire lead cast) and it shows in their mature interpretations of their characters. I watched princess agents solely for shawn even though the characters in both dramas are similar. Lareina is still young i guess & this is her first drama. I do enjoy turbo's acting so far. I'm just genuinely curious because I don't know much about the chinese drama space but which young cast members do u think would better fit the lead roles?
