Me too... This show is very interesting. What cracks me up is the ML and the FL are the LEAST interesting characters. Everyone else is fascinating; they are likeable but uhm kind of boring... and I don't mind at all.

LMAO. Exactly.

They seem almost uncomfortably close... But not crossing the line... yet...

He is aiming for the throne and A'wu. He is a Ma first before he is a Xie.

Am I the only one that is going hmmm... at the Yin sibling's relationship?

Yups.

If you are enjoying this show, you may enjoy this vivid real life story of China's earlier efforts to tame the Gobi - this took place maybe 30 years before the drama:

I agree, that would be unnecessary.

Well, everyone dies eventually. As long as they were happy together for some time it has to be enough.

I am enjoying Wu Yuan and Tuxin's interactions the most in this show - their chemistry is amazing. I think both roles are the best acted and most interesting ones. The FL is not annoying and she acts well which is a huge plus but her character isn't that interesting as far as goddesses go...

The good news is that I think Xiao Qi is already on to General Song or at least is more guarded towards him. He is still giving him the benefit of the doubt but he has also warned him in a veiled way.

I begin to suspect General Song may have been working for Wang Lin to all along. Remember there is a spy in Xiao Qi's army and in the beginning he was overly interested how Xiao Qi felt about marrying Wang Xuan. At the time, I don't think he had fallen for her yet so he must be trying to feel out Xiao Qi for Wang Lin. The other possibility is he is a Xie clan spy.

Not to mention the wailing cousin scenes... there were so many of those I had to take antihistamines.

They end up having kids anyway. According to spoilers from novel readers, she had a short life due to her poor health.

So far she has been utterly incompetent. Thru episode 41.

I agree with you and @Luk. So far, there is still hope the misunderstandings won't go too far down the cliche route.

The CGI for this is not as good as WOF. But the WOF story is a mess and there is not proper world building. I dropped it. This is funny and the father daughter relationship is hilarious.

There is no such thing as couples with no misunderstandings. But as long as they are not too contrived like 99pct of the ones in dreamland just to create angst it should be acceptable and realistic.

Yes the story is very interesting.

So nice to see Yuan Hong as a cool dad.

I got stuck at 5. I will give it another shot when S2 comes out. But it may just be one of those so called big hits that miss me.
