It has been few days since I last wandered back to this page, drawn not by the chatter of comments but by the quiet desire to savour the drama unclouded, unshaken by outside voices.

After immersing myself in a few episodes, I felt an irresistible pull to return and inscribe my admiration. The theme itself is luminous, unfolding mostly beneath the daylight, an uncommon choice that lends the narrative a gentle radiance.

It’s refreshing since, we have been inundated with dramas steeped in shadows: tales drenched in crimson hues, heavy with dark symbolism, and scripts that promised brilliance but faltered into mediocrity. This explains why I could not finish watching dramas such as The Pursuit of Jade, Ashes to Crown, Shadow Love, or Fated Hearts.

Each began with high anticipation, only to dissolve into disappointment. Shadow Love, in particular, lost me before the first episode could even breathe.

This current drama, however, feels like a rare jewel. For me, it claims the crown of the year thus far. Watching it is akin to leafing through a book of poetry or peeling back the delicate layers of an onion, each revelation leaving us guessing, each silence brimming with possibility. That, indeed, is its beauty.

Though it may be premature, I find myself tempted to compare its artistry to the grandeur of The Legend of Zang Hai or the intensity of Vendetta of An. Time will tell if such comparisons hold true
.
Until then, happy watching, may the unfolding chapters of this drama continue to surprise and delight.

This is true, you’ve truly done and extensive research. Well done!!!

Dramas like these age like fine wine.

You don’t hype it at first like many get high ratings, heavily marketed and hyped but soon forgotten.

These ones need thinkers and observers.

Checkout Ming Dynasty, I think you also enjoy googling the history behind it.

I found that Ming Dynasty gave us the depth that lacked in The Royal Feast.

By the way, have you watched the Ming Dyanasty?

I first watched on YouTube and skipped many episodes because of the terrible subtitles, until I found it on YOUKU after subscribing. I was so happy to find it.

Let me add that one on my list.
I think Against the Current is gonna be an angst too. Can’t wait to watch.

Something to note about angst drama, they are not for everyone, and need a certain mood even for those who care more about the writing, theme and execution.

Let me check.

You know how romance gang dominate these streets and influence commercial gain, so I suspect that he didn’t win because of the abusive aspect towards FL, and also that it was a sad ending.

Romance fans/audience (I call them gang:-)) don’t like sad endings, that is the reason why The Rose of the Phoenixes didn’t become too popular.

Have you notice how production companies force happy ending?

Even when the story is based on real historical events. Watch The Red Sleeve, and you’ll see. There’s lots in Cdramas too.

I do wish someone writes a sequel where his son becomes an emperor and mother a queen dowager

Wow!! This is profound, you just gave it a whole new meaning to it for me. Feels like a reading a well written book.

It’s good and realistic.

It’s 5 episodes today but only 4 are free.

This has captured my attention more than the recent ones (POJ and Ashes to Crown). On that note, I must leave the comment section:-)

WeTV is already selling express, so it might be 1 free and 2nd one sold.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Is there an ambiguous relationship between FL and Qingshuang? Like lesbian kinda?

Need to know before I can continue.

Anyone with family tree link?

Ah thank you so much.

I wonder if they recover the money after the effect.

I feel bad for the whole production team when it comes to these cases, however, I do applaud Chinese government on upholding the law when it comes to people of influence. The world would be in a better place if all countries did this.

You do know that you could have ignored my question instead of wasting your time saying nothing?
