Wow - sounds like a great strong female lead role. Definitely going to watch this. Almost sounds a bit like Weiyoung part 2 in that it focuses on what happens to her as the Dowager...
Eternal love is one of my favorites dramas. So far I think I have watched it a minimum of 3 times. lol #don'tjudgeme!…
If it makes you feel better, one of my best friends only admits to watching it 29 times (I suspect more). I also had to ban myself from re-watching. My favorite scenes were whenever Ye Hua was just so mean to Su Jin but the true villain (or hero) was Xuan Nu. Were it not for her Si Yin may have ended up with Li Jing or Mo Yuan and Ye Hua may have stayed a beautiful golden lotus flower.
I enjoyed both but yes, for me TMOPB was better. L&D is better executed and both lead actors are much better actors. But TMOPB is a better story and I have a preference for somewhat flawed and badass characters.
I am watching this at a snail's pace. I don't think its bad so I can't figure out whether it is because I am just in a dreadful, evil slump or it is the drama. I am not exactly thinking of dropping it, I just can't get motivated to keep going. Is it just me?
I watched it with low expectations bcoz I didn't want to compare it with Nirvana in Fire but I ended up loving…
The female lead roles were fantastic - both strong and capable women. But agree completely the acting for Lin Xi fell far short of the writing and there was no chemistry there. Thank goodness it is not a romance story!
Their Chinese app is fantastic but the English one is a very poor cousin. They should just add a select English language as an option and add a filter that allows users to search for English subbed content only to their existing app. Waste of money and time to launch such a shoddy and inferior product when the original is even miles better than Netflix. Tip - the Chinese app already has English and Chinese subs for big hit movies like Brotherhood of the Blades. You can download it from the store if you set you region to say Hong Kong or possibly other parts of Asia but the whole thing is in Chinese although easy to navigate regardless.
I thought i quit the wait for this drama but here i am again looking for any latest updates regarding its release.It…
It is missing from iQiyi's list (Oct 18) of the 12 highly anticipated key TV drama releases for 2020... Fingers crossed that means it will come out in 4Q 2019.
Oh no! If you watch a lot of c-drama you should get a VPN, esp where you are because Astro has the rights so many of the Viki shows are blocked. Same issue here many local channels have them and often dubbed into Canto I really don't want to watch those versions. I use Express VPN its easy to use and good to get around it. I have only seen the translation of the songs on Viki.
I didn't gather any similarity from the description. It sounded more like Journey of a flower. But it was promoted…
LOL - u r probably right about TMOPB but I just have the impression his family wasn't that warm to him. When I search Chang Chen on youtube many links to his older movies come up and I think they are on some of the Asian drama sites. I have the DVDs for the older ones and I watched Brotherhood of Blades on Apple TV but I think at least one of them is on Amazon Prime. Also try Netflix. I think if you search you can get most of them.

LOL - I largely agree with you although I would observe YH was whipped by lightning many more times and his grandpa was really nasty. I am a big CC fan, I love his look too and he is really an exceptional actor. He was a second lead in Crouching Tiger with Chow Yuen Fatt and paired up with Zhang Ziyi - I think its a ok movie only. I started his latest movie Savage but I didn't finish, its only so-so. Gweilo are much better at those kinds of contemporary movies. His "hot" movies are Three Times with Shu Qi and Eros with Gong Li. Make sure you have a big jug of cold water if you watch those. But his best lead role performances were in Brotherhood of the Blades 1+2 which are awesome. He also had many good supporting roles with Tony Leung including Red Cliff and Grandmaster.
It wasn't hard for LX to get out since she sealed him from outside. It was much harder for JC to get out because…
It not that hard to get in and out of the abyss once it is opened- JX and his sidekick did when they were trying to kill LingYue and JC rescued LY with no issue as well - LX is a high goddess it shouldn't be hard for her. I vaguely remember LX transformed into a bird and flew out after sealing the gate. JC was tricked by JX - JX told him that he would have to sacrifice himself to guard the gate and give up his life with LX. JC believed him and put his affairs in order. It was kind of true because he could only push the evil forces back but he couldn't seal the gate. They couldn't harm him either. It was a draw and he was stuck there. YT was the one that told him two people were needed to seal the gate - he wasn't powerful enough on his own - also not complete info but what do u expect from the baddies? It all came together when they realized JX became the Demon King and was already outside the gate and drawing all the evil forces out towards him. Once JX came back to the gate to confront them, they were able to push him into the gate. JC restrained JX while LX sealed the gate. My guess is it took JC 300 years to finally kill off JX and then it was safe for him to unseal the gate to get out and seal it again. The last part is just my guess it is left open. But the drama gives us many hints on how he got out. JX admits that his desire for LX was his inner demon that made him cross to the dark side. LX tells their daughter that YT was someone who loss her battle with evil. And the Demon King had once also accused JC of opening his heart to evil once he fell for LX. So the key to emerging from the gate has to be something to do with defeating the evil in his heart figuratively or if you want to make it literal then killing JX (evil). LX and JC are both so moral and honorable, they have almost no dark side and are forgiving to their enemies. You could say they have no evil in their hearts so if anyone is able to get out it should be JC and LX. And maybe it is just as simple as once JC can eliminate any evil from his heart he can literally just walk out because the seal only keeps evil in. I like it that they left it to us to think about it.
