I love Zhang Linghe, he is my favourite Chinese actor, he has a beautiful face, expressive eyes and a charming smile. I do so hope he doesnt get plastered with OTT makeup - I like a man to look like a man, not a fragile hot house Africon violet!

Good onya Dylan Wang, you must have a lot of patience - the "fan" who held his/her phone in your face is a rude, arrogant, and arrogating creep.

Congratulations to Mr Kim Woo Bin and Miss Shin Min Ah on their forthcoming nuptials. May your days be long and full of happiness, may your children be many and full of health, and may you live in peace... and freedom.
From Sandra, an Australian fan.

I dunno what people are getting so hot under the collar for - this is a fictional story folks, have the Chinese pipples who are complaining never heard of the phrase, “poetic licence”? Not only is this series fiction, it is also a comedy. If you can’t laugh at yourself then you must be a very inferior person. Being able to laugh at yourself erases any feelings of insecurity and empowers you.

And so…if you can’t laugh at yourself I will do it for you and just laugh my head off at shows you disdain! I suppose you cannot really be blamed for your narrow way of thinking - you live under a regime that treats its citizens like dogs, you can’t open your mouth and voice your opinions, your government is loathed around the world for their inhumane treatment of anyone fighting for democracy and that same government lies to its people.

This is becoming a little too political now so I understand the need for fairness and justice - two features sadly lacking in China which is governed by lying, bullying despots. Your so called great leader is nothing more than a tyrant and you have the nerve to be critical of others for giving their opinion which you do not like! That; my Chinese people, is the difference ~ in
a democracy you are free to voice your opinion in public even if I or you are totally against what you think, but I allow that you have the right to voice that opinion even I am in total disagreement. THAT is something China will never allow until their are people brave enough to stand up and fight.

Poor girl my a*** — blame that vlogger and her family members! She killed herself, that’s sad, but life goes on. Trying to find someone to blame is an excuse to justify their own shortcomings. She’s dead, I’m wondering how much guilt her family members are carrying — oh, hang on, let’s find someone to blame, that way our conscience is clear!

I am up to episode 3. Unlike the Female General, I did find this a bit confusing in the first episode and beginning of the second. The only reason I’m watching Shadow Love is because Ryan Cheng is in it. Loved him in Legend of the Female General and enjoying seeing him and his shoulders in this. I do like a man with muscles, plus he (Cheng) has bedroom eyes. Wonderful eye candy.

Try living in Australia! We get everything way after you Americans have it! So far three episodes of Shadow Love are released here and it’s the 5th of September!

Who is the “depraved soul” please? And who is the “child” you speak of?

Although I would liked to have seen Jinghe married with a child he did do a bad thing by poisoning Mei Lin so for that he deserved losing her. His loneliness and sadness was his punishment. Part of me knows the ending was right, the other part wishes it different.
All in all, a very watchable series, I love it, rewatching a second time.
The important thing for this type of series is the ML must be handsome, sexy and tall. A short, fat plain to ugly sallow man just would not cut it.
