My Chinese history is not as good as it should be I am watching this with my mom who really knows her Chinese history but unfortunately her Mandarin is not good enough to watch without subs. Viki has been very slow so I keep having to put this on hold to wati for her. I believe however that Growling Tiger is completely subbed on Viki. Try that - there may be regional restrictions but if you have a VPN you can get around it. Also I find after Viki Dramacool often has very good subs. I am watching Secret of the 3 Kingdoms at the moment it is a very different (entirely fictional) take on this period but wow it is creative and good.

Honestly I put him on my stalk list after Royal Nirvana. He is my new crush. And my drama buddy keeps breaking our pact not to watch when we are not together and sending me these contrite but not really that sorry "oh but he is so handsome I can't help myself..." messages. I totally get it and give her a free pass for cheating on me but damn its been extra frustrating to be in my busy work season at the moment!

I have only watched until 10 but I will be able to catch up over the weekend...

Indeed. She is pretty much my favorite director because she is subtly subversive and amazing at showing the language of love. :)

I can get up to 14 but its raw on mango TV. Depends on how fast Amazon will sub it.

For sure - I am so very glad I watched this before I watched TROP.. That said, the romance here is much more obvious.

This dude is so good looking it should be against the law.

She goes for the one with the nicest chest. Yes, you will have the opportunity to check them both out... heheheheh... enjoy!!!

Indeed. Won't spoil you but this is a good triangle and if you watch carefully you will see how her feelings evolve over time and during which events.

Its not a good triangle unless both leads appear to have a fighting chance!

Do you wonder why they became extinct?

I don't buy it that the emperor and empress can just disappear like that and no one notices or freaks out.

I always felt L&D was basically Mo Yuan's story but due to copyright they had to use a different character. The magic of this story is you feel root for both the the winner and the loser. Ye Hua is the darker more ruthless character that dares to take what he wants. Mo Yuan is too good. Faint heart never won fair lady.

youtube and netflix.

Wow excellent list and article- what about best villains? In Handsome Siblings, I actually have to toss a coin between Xiao Yuer and Jiang Yulang. Made me realise I must have a soft spot for dark characters because two of my personal favorites are Ning Yi (Rise of Phoenixes) and Sha jie jie (Journey of Flower). :)

Why does this feel like a sad story?

Dunno what they are talking about. NiNi was amazing in this drama. Even when she is expressionless there is a lot of emotion conveyed in the deliberately expressionless moments.

Ah ok. Well hope you like Reborn, I watched part of the first episode it seems quite intense but very well shot.

Have you watched Detective L?

A discreet mistress is acceptable. But don't fall in love. That is the unspoken rule, no?
