Adventure, Angst and Romance!
As I have only watched three episodes and there are still fifty-nine to go it is going to be a long journey, but with dashing fellows wielding their trusty swords and leaping high off the ground to attack their enemy, it doesn’t get much better than this! Pure drama, escapism, and entertainment. Love the costumes. I wouldn’t like to have to make all that battle gear ~ imagine the state of your fingers!
Historical dramas are my passion and this is another good series. The usual story men wanting power fight each other etc.
Obviously writing more than one review for a show/series/movie isn’t possible - I know because I tried it. This site only allows me to add to my original review. So…..with that in mind…..
And so, I am now watching episode 12 and I heartily dislike Ping Ting and am disgusted with this traitorous woman who has betrayed Chu Bei Jie aka Prince Zhen Bei so many times, yet he never betrayed her once. In my current mind’s eye, Ping Ting is a murderous b**** who cannot decide where her loyalties lie. It seems she will stay true and loyal to everyone else, just not her husband. Even if he did force her to marry him, he never betrayed her and would give up his life for her.
…..I am just so over her.
And then there’s the one in the palace who, with her father, plan on killing the king. She too is another murderous b****. Men killing each other in battle is fine ~ women poisoning people is not. So insidious.

And my estimation of Ping Ting has sunk even lower. What a selfish, thoughtless, cold-hearted b**** she really is. She knows her husband is prostrate with grief and suffering badly and she lets him go on thinking it. No matter how she words it to herself, she is not pretending to be dead because it is best for him, she’s doing it because it is best for her and she no longer has to take responsibility for her actions. The fact she has his son and keeps it secret is the worst betrayal - a child growing up in the time this show is set, is disastrous for a fatherless child, but she don’t care. And her friend’s husband - well I understand he doesn’t want to go against his wife, but I do think he should have tried harder to convince his wife to convince ping ting to let her husband know she is still alive.
At the moment I’m so over this show, I really want that damned woman to surf a bit, well let’s be honest, I want her to suffer lots! I want Chu Bei Jie to find his son … and not lose his son either but have him by his side.
