I think of it as a spoof. Lots of things just make me laugh, both intended and not intended. I like the leads and their chemistry even though I am not a romance watcher. Its not a drama I would rate highly but that doesn't mean its not entertaining.

I read He Luoluo's farewell to his character today. It seems TS only knew his name was Bei Kun. He didn't know Bei Hai was his father and that he had a brother until he entered the tomb with Bei Ming. At that point in time, it was too late for him to turn back. I went and re-watched those episodes and his expressions. It was really well done.

Oh geez - that must be super uncomfortable for her that her father knows that omg!😅😂

I don't have time to but I think there are many viewers on here who probably have and maybe can weigh in.

I don't think Chen Feiyu's project is an S/S+ drama. I haven't watched it yet but I know his pay rate is not S level and the FL is unknown. Its probably another A.

Did Xuan'er also have feelings for Han Li? It seemed they were just good friends in the garden.

Tyvm.😃

Seems like this is primed for a second season.

Ah ok, tyvm - I now vaguely remember some of this. Is Hongfu and Xuan'er why Yun Lu came after the sect?

I think I may have missed the connection between Shifu, Hong Fu and the Ghost leader. Can someone explain?

I'm quite enjoying it even though I don't think its a well told story at all. The action scenes are pretty good though. Its so expensive these days to shoot a proper war drama these days I kind of understand why they chose to focus on the romance instead.

Yes indeed.

Yeah S/S+ dramas rarely make as good returns as lower budget dramas. But the platforms still invest in them bc when they are huge hits, the pay off is very big and their revenue can continue for many years. They also are what attract paying subscribers so they have to do them to grow/keep their paying subscriber base.

Ouch.

I would guess a man of average appearance...

iQiyi made a lot on this drama. Likely more than Youku made on IA.

This!!! Typical misogyny - thirstily approving all the ML red flag actions while hating on the FLs for simply standing up for themselves.

You are asking exactly the right questions. If you think about it and watch that episode carefully, you will have your answer.

Indeed I think a good general has to be smart and strategic, not necessarily big.

Indeed. I was just curious as I am personally also skeptical of Zhou Ye's general but when I did some research I found some interesting things. As you point out, lots of these big, brawny, alpha male types got themselves (and their men) killed dead before they could advance.
