Apparently they are trained to fall very slowly and shot in very slow motion that gets speeded up... according to my cousin who does freelance camera work on production crews. Makes me feel a bit better.

Wow Song Zuer is so so likable in this drama! And so lovely - idk what happened to her in her other later dramas...

Tyvm - read your review on it. I am geo-blocked by Youtube but no worries I will find it somewhere.

I haven't but I am gonna look for it... Tybm u da best!!!

Sigh! I don't dislike the Youning that much the way she is written and I was fine with at least half the way but now I am getting really annoyed at her. I guess she is hungry and just tries too hard - same in the Legends I went from liking her to FF her.

I felt the same but in the end I couldn't get enough of him so I kept on going. Its so rare to see Chen Kun in a drama and in such a delicious role.

I was interested in this due to the spy genre and Ren Jialun was a happy bonus but I find I am really really falling for Liu Huan.

I posted what I think happened at the end of my review.

I believe its one of the Mongolian tribes. I think their language is also called Oirat. Couldn't tell you they are really speaking Oirat or just gibberish. It should be around Xinjiang today.

As usual very long winded and it seems she really loved it and binged it but rates it based on the fact that she doesn't think it will be popular in China! OMG - what kind of a reviewer is she then? She really needs to work out the kinks of her rating system because if you are going to rate something, have an opinion that should be independent of what everyone else thinks! Shaking my head.

My understanding is Lurk was the last truly great spy drama coming out of China and there really hasn't been anything to compare since then. Its still on my PTW - has anyone watched it? Am tempted to watch it alongside Autumn Cicada but all that intrigue may be too confusing...

Yeah I suspect there are going to be quite a few flashbacks bc they killed off a few main characters at the beginning. Hope they handle it in a way that is not confusing. I guess one of the main plot threads is going to be around uncovering who is the traitor that leaked the Autumn Cicada identity to begin with.

It is available on both Youku and iQiyi VIP but on iQiyi its for Chinese subscribers only. Youtube supposed to have it too on the Mango TV site. I am sure someone will sub it and iQiyi will probably put it on their international site as well but I think it will be 1-2 weeks lag for translation. I am watching on Youku.

It is on both iqiyi and Youku VIP at the moment. It is likely that iqiyi will make it available for international viewers as well but I suspect English version will lag 1-2 weeks. Sleuth of Ming Dynasty was like that too the Chinese site was 2 weeks ahead because that is probably how long it took to translate it.

First few episodes were definitely more spy thriller heavy than propaganda heavy. It is hard to avoid it completely though because in this genre anyone who risks life and limb like that is a patriot.

I am also very interested in seeing if that is the case given recent events in HK.

Oh I really hope not...

Wow excellent debut - this is going to be a real thriller!

Just the scariest Cao Cao I have ever seen.

Tyvm for this - I was waiting to see how the love the story was handled before deciding whether to continue. What a shame.
