You could try Love and Destiny where Ni Ni also plays the FL. I think ROP is much better despite the bad ending. There are not many shows like this.

Same here - I feel your pain. I went to sleep wanting to push SGT off the damn cliff!

LOL - seriously only completed it bc there wasn't anything else to watch!!!

Oh he looks so so much better with some color I actually don't mind watching him now.

Wow.... tons and tons of flashbacks (of long boring conversations no less) - no wonder they don't dare to charge extra for the rest of the show!!! At this rate, with the help of FF, it should be a piece of cake to speed throught the rest of this...

Oh thank Buddha they stopped using that ghastly pasty white foundation on Tou but it seems to have found its way onto Xuexi's face instead. What is wrong with these people???

Bah! This Lord Lu is just immitating Chen Kun's Ning Yi mannerisms.

U r in good hands.:)

Heheh ok but it is already Sunday night for me I don't get to watch that much during the week. Maybe you will see it first anyway. :)

All 48 episodes are out and available without extra payment in both Youku and iQiyi VIP China version.

Wow this dwarf has some real tall issues!!!

In the past I was able to pay via iTunes Appstore on the local iQiyi app. It is just that outside of China there are sometimes airplay problems so I switched to the international version. I also think for iQiyi you are not locked to Alipay, they accept WeChat pay as well. Youku I don't know bc my friend in China pays for me. I don't see the extra episodes on iQiyi local or Youku yet btw.

You are right, even VIP needs to pay to watch I am just saying international VIP already costs a lot more they should get it for free.If you really want to watch it you can pay to view on the local site even if you are not a VIP. I have seen the option but I have never done it since I rarely have time to binge.

What a scam! How dare they bore us silly for 30+ episodes and then make us pay extra to watch? It is insult to the injury because the Chinese subscription costs much less than international. I switched my local iQiyi to the international because it has an ATV app I don't have to airplay from my ipad or computer but I am paying 50pct more for that convenience. They should just give international subscribers the extra episodes for free with normal VIP.

Ah ok, I must have missed when. Tyvm it all makes more sense now.

I know Qingci recognizes her already but I am confused as to whether she also recognizes him yet?

Methinks he protests too much... I suspect ultimately he is after the throne. He just doesn't trust anyone and he kows its a dangerous game and these strategists tend to have loose lips. He is eliminating the sects to make sure they don't intervene. And I am not sure he is eliminating all of them, just the ones that won't be used by him. That is why Huashan is safe but not Tou/ Moon Valley or Hall of Flames. And by dismantling the Hall of Flames he has cut off the supply of weapons to the military (after stealing a whole bunch for himself). The Imperial Advisor is loyal to the emperor so Tou and his father are in the way. He was playing chess with them to test them. That's just my working theory so far of motive but it is possible there is some other hidden agenda that has yet to emerge. The role is well acted.

He has a great face but they didn't give it any color. And he is so frail I feel like the wind can blow him away... Heck I can take him down in any fight!

I think Lord Lu is a zealot, which is scarier than a mere ambitious prince vying for the throne. I am also not convinced he is not after the throne - he just doesn't want to be crown prince or king in waiting. If he feels his father/brother does not fulfill his vision of what law and order or rulership should be, he will feel morally justified to grab the throne. His desire to suppress or control the martial world could also have ulterior motive. The Flame Hall has ability to manufacture arms and has significance to anyone planning to say raise an army.

I think its quite obvious now that they only have enough content for a 24, at best 30 episode drama. This should not be 50.
