Only an episode in and I already love this. It is like Man in the Iron Mask, which I've always loved. Compared…
I was thinking exactly the same thing - like something Dumas would have written but applied to Chinese history rather than French. Sadly I think it is unlikely that more shows like this get made anytime soon since censorship has cracked down on "distortion of actual Chinese history"".

That was an odd transition - I think it probably got censored.
Yes - weTV is owned by Tencent, one of the biggest Chinese internet companies. They will never do anything to upset the Chinese authorities.

I just found this drama a couple of days ago. It is engaging. I am ready for the next 6 episodes to be out. Hopefully…
18 episodes are out already only 6 more till the end. I decided to wait and binge them all together but I may not be able to hold back.

I think there is no way to do that because the uncensored version will find its way back into China and create a lot of problems for the production companies. There is no upside to them to do that as China is their dominant and most important market. Most of the time they can't even monetize the international viewership.

This drama makes me proud that I live in Beijing.
So lucky - totally love Beijing. Haven't been to the hutongs (or the opera) in years but I will make a detour next I am there... if we ever get to travel again.

It was great -I replayed that scene a few times.

adult huirou (there's a baby, toddler, child, younger teen, older teen + adult huirou XD) is rumoured to appear…
Yeah I am still hoping for some good politics and an unusual love story from this but it seems like there is a giant harem obstacle course in the beginning... If it weren't so pedestrian and and full of tired harem stereotypes or even just a bit humorous it wouldn't be so painful and suffocating. The worst part is it is making the emperor look like the villain of the show.
Replying to DramaAjumma Apr 22, 2020
This show certainly showed a lot of promise and the male trio is easily the best part of the show, as everyone…
The sister is the worst - I just take a deep breath and sigh every time she comes on.

Thanks - wow seems I've got a lot of walking uphill ahead! Since they were childhood sweethearts their love story probably begins well before she gets married though, no? I would guess by the time she is married off it is probably closer to the end rather than the beginning of her love story...

the problem is this "historical detective" thing was an exciting and new genre when "plough department of the…
This one allows more audience participation in the mysteries than this year's Sleuth of Ming Dynasty, Under the Power and to a lesser extent Miss Truth so it is much, much more interesting. I dunno what Sleuth really is but I don't consider it in the detective genre. Under the Power is more of a wuxia - still good but not really a true detective show either. This one has strong wuxia elements but it is at is core a really good mystery. I didn't watch the others you mentioned.
On Serenade of Peaceful Joy Apr 22, 2020
Trying to continue with this but neither the emperor nor the empress is that interesting to me. He may be quite a moral and benevolent emperor but appears to be joyless and has few interests outside of his harem and possibly calligraphy. And while the empress is a strong character I don't know why they had to saddle her with the helplessly silently lovesick trope which not only somewhat contradicts her character but is just so, so painful to watch. When do we get into the princess's story? I may just have to skip ahead to that before I die of frustration.

Old age and neck folds from loose skin will probably take care of it over time! LOL!

Title Ancient Detective Spoiler
I think the biggest mystery is Jian Bu Zhi himself. He kept saying he is his father's son. But couple old timers…
Indeed there could be some shocking twists from what you implying... I am really looking forward to the big reveal in this but the sub-plots along the line are also very intriguing...

I have never watched any chinese drama before ....So should I start with this drama ??What do you guys think ??…
Its the best Chinese drama I have seen but it is a politcal heavy bromance, not much romance. Its the Chinese Count of Monte Cristo.

Title Miss Truth
Why is the rating so low? It’s like one of the most interesting cdrama this 2020
Agree - I guess the production value is not high and its not fully subbed yet.

That is music to her ears.

No English subs on 43 and 44 even when other languages are available.
Yeah I don't really need them except when they are singing opera it helps. It must be a glitch 44 had English subs but not 43.

Title Miss Truth Spoiler
The ending end or hangging up?
It ends but leaves the door open for Season 2. And it was well done enough that I would definitely watch Season 2.
