Indeed that is the plan. Truth is I love the setting and the fight scenes and the plot seems ok as well. Its just depressing the thought that he is gonna be an idiot until halfway through the drama.
I suspect this is another glitch from MDL... this happened too often, I lost faith in their rating already ;(
Well idk whether it is a glitch but over 1000 new viewers or 3000+ in total have now rated it.. There are 11k viewers so up to another 8000 new ratings can be added.

I hear you but I suddenly remember there is nothing distinct or special or innovative 20th century wuxia other than the fact it was written in the 20th century and it rehashed old wuxia tropes. Its only claim to fame is it focused on different sects. The lightbulb also went on that this is the writer I tried to read many times but was never able to complete any of his allegedly great works. Whereas I blew through and re-read Jin Yong and Gu Long multiple times when I was supposed to do homework. I turned to this dude in desperation when I had nothing else to read but he never resonated with me.. But to be honest it was so long ago I don't even remember anything about any of them. Anyway rather than to reattempt any of his books, I may as well try to watch a bit more of this and see if I can at least complete one of his stories...
Yeah there’s a lot of characters making dumb decisions because the plot requires them to. I really couldn’t…
That was stupid but I can at least sort of understand he wanted to go home with some glory that makes him worthy of her hand. But I really gave up on him when he decided to leave his heavily pregnant and defenseless wife alone while they were being persecuted to go beg her father's forgiveness first. I was so disgusted I wasn't even sad at what happened to him. And then their sect leaves their bodies where they are only to try to bring them home 18 years later??? smh.
But still lost with word of honor..is that drama is good?
Word of Honor is really excellent and if anything it is underrated on MDL, I enjoyed it a lot more than the Untamed. I will watch BL if its good but its not a genre I am crazy about or seek out either. TLB is also great, we are lucky that 2021 has given us so many good dramas so far.
The hero/ML lacks common sense. He can’t see the big picture, does not follow instructions and repeatedly makes…
Oh no, that is not good to hear... I will give it a few more for lack of anything else to watch while waiting for The Long Ballad. The plot is seems ok its just the dialogue and the characters....
Like father, like son...Stupidity runs in the family.I am not sure which one is worse... The unconvincing and…
The script and the characterisations are not good. Its a pity bc I like everything else and especially the martial arts. But I am not sure that's gonna be enough to make me keep going.
I had always thought that we would have a happy ending for the main couple but now, with the last clip released,…
I try not always successfully to avoid trailers, they are meant to create anxiety and mislead us along the way. My guess is Ashile Sun leaves the grasslands (his Eagle troop is disbanded anyway and Eagle troop teqin in no more) and returns to team up with Li Jing in service of Li Shimin, who is possibly Changge's father and a great Tang emperor. In history there was at least one Ashina general who served Taizong and married Tang princesses/nobility. And since Ashile Sun is originally from the central plains anyway he is just going home to his own people. The great Khan does not deserve a warrior like him, he is just using him to sharpen his own heir She'er he has no intention of ever letting a central plains person inherit no matter how capable he is.
Can somebody tell me what is TAO exactly mean? The conversation about tao in the drama is very interesting and…
That is a very big question. Tao (道; dào) which literally means "way" or the path, is the cornerstone of Taoism and is a life philosophy that defies description and conceptualization. It has a lot to do with the natural order of the universe and is a wisdom acquired over time and with life experience. In the context of this drama, we see all the main characters on a journey of discovery of their own moral conviction and life philosophy. The painting that Changge spends a lot of time staring at wúwéi/无为 or 無為 in traditional characters is one of the most important related Taoist concepts. It means do nothing or inaction or let things take their own course. It often means different things in different contexts and is often also used to indicate futility or pointlessness of certain actions or people. You have to decide for yourself after everything Changge did to intervene or take action, why these words inaction caused her to reflect so deeply. That is the best simple explanation I can give on this very abstruse concept as I am no expert in Taoism so others may be able to better summarize it.
Just curious about what is actually happening to Zhao Lusi ? I heard she is getting hatred for this drama? What…
To be honest, I was not a huge fan of either actress before this drama. I had to drop every drama that Dilraba was FL in and I was really seething at Lusi for crashing and burning in the ending episodes of Love of Thousand Years. I only watched this because of Wu Lei. But they have both redeemed themselves a lot - I am quite impressed by Dilraba's acting here and Lusi is no longer on my avoid list even though I can't say I will seek her out actively in the future. I guess the script and directing makes such a huge difference and hopefully c-drama will start writing female characters to be less whiny and lame going forward.
They can’t take out the nut, I think of it a beloved character now ^-^. I am just waiting for it to pop in randomly.
LOL - I am quite sure if they ask Youku for curtesy tickets, they can get some. But it is very smart of them to try via normal channel and fail just to remind the fans they sponsored the show. Its good publicity and smart business. They are a very profitable and well known company and an important advertising client across many of Alibaba's platforms beyond Youku. They do deserve to be supported and praised for supporting this show when no one else did.
