If you go on the production studio tours it is not that hard to get into visit a set while filming. They usually let some fans in. At least they did pre-covid I am not sure what the policy is these days. I am hoping they will let fans in again bc my friends and I have a girls' trip there planned once travel bans lift again.

Yeah I feel a bit sorry for Mu Yuan but not that much. I don't respect characters that know they can't have the person's heart but wants them anyway. I just think they don't have enough self respect or self love. It is the drama trope that annoys me the most in men and women.

I don't have AOL baggage like most of the viewers. I actually couldn't stand the Jinmei character and dropped it early in the show.

I can be your wing woman. I think he is very handsome but he is not my type. I didn't even put him on my Hengdian trip wish list.

OMG thanks for saving me the trouble of going back to the novel. She sounds like a complete bratty airhead. You are right she is more likable here although I feel she did lead Mu Yuan on as well. It just sounds like the source material is really terrible. I just like these slightly darker character profiles - like Tou kind of a playboy /bad boy just like the ML in Love of Thousand Years was supposedly as well. I am bored with the too good to be true completely virtuous ML we typically get - kind of the Mu Yuan type.

Yes - the enemy seemed to have almost supernatural or dark powers. But I think she means she wants to see them to kick someone's butt to high heaven together but in that episode sadly it was the other way around.

LOL - of course acting skills matter more but I have no problem with a good six-pack etc etc either... To be fair though, if that is all that one is after c-drama is the worst place to get it. Much more gratuitous skin-ship in Western drama etc.

I am still at 35 but who is the super duper villain they supposed to fight off together? Lord Lu is a weakling he can't even throw a punch and honestly he is the only one at this point that I want to see die hard. Execution would be too good for him.

"Shang Guan Tou is frustrating as a lover" is so true that is to a T how I would describe him. I would have dumped him for sure even if he has great eyes.

Hmmm... ok, I didn't read enough of it to really have a feel for the characters... I actually regret that I touched it at all because I have only watched this bc I was curious about SGT but too lazy to read the book. I hate reading online unless its on a kindle.

Yeah I will finish also since I got this far. I will be slow also since I usually have to work a bit most week nights which is distracting.

In a military household it’s practically impossible that he didn’t have martial arts training from a young age. There are enough episodes left to see him at least not so defenseless and at least the backstory for that has been set up.

Indeed nothing is really that new in Wuxia. That said these dramas tend to trend and many in the current vintage seem to have MLs that can’t fight and may never acquire that ability. I don’t have a problem with brains over brawn but in an action heavy show it is less fun to see one person hiding I generally find it more fun if they kick ass together.

The first arc was excellent. Second arc so far is less exciting but still good.

Agree completely, really like Love in Between but am watching that with my friend and we agreed to wait for each other... Sadly I am in my busy mode for next couple of weeks so I didn't start anything else. Bummed bc I had high hopes for this.

Only skimmed the book it was darker but I kind of liked it.

Just got home after a business dinner (yes I miss lockdown) and am tempted to marathon the rest but the comments make me think nah, it can wait.....

Well if you like romances then Eternal Love or Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms is very addictive. You can also check out The Legends and Under the Power. Ashes of Love is the other big romance hit but I hated it and dropped. I haven't watched it but Romance of Tiger and Rose also got good reviews.

He is such a good actor but just had some bad luck lately - he apparently also did a really outstanding job in the last 12 episodes of Royal Nirvana that got censored and never aired. So frustrating, hope the next one works out as you said.

Actually the original synopsis looked so promising. I am sick and tired of historical romances I would never even have started this if the rest of the plot didn't sound intriguing. I don't know how they made such a huge mess of it.

There seems to be a trend of MLs that can't fight or can't fight as well as the FLs.... sigh! The women really have to do all the hard work!
