To be fair it is only a small bit - like about 6:30 minutes into episode 2. I didn't notice it until the second time I watched it.

Tyvm - kind of obvious what influenced it... heheh.

Just a nit but the unmistakeably NIF like violin background music I really wish they wouldn't have done...

Heheh I am happy too I was watching on Youtube with lots of ads , Seems to be 6 a week so my best guess 8-10 weeks?

Its on Amazon prime, I just saw it there.

I would have never guessed that from those smouldering dirty looks he keeps throwing at him in the drama!!!

Yes can ping me on it - I started it 4-5 months ago but it just didn't hook me I watch it when I am very bored. Am stuck at around 18 you will probably finish it sooner than I...I do love the guy's gorgeous grin it makes me smile every time. Which is why I still watch now and then.

Yeah my mom said the same, she wants me to sort it out for her when I am back for x-mas.,, So what are u watching instead?

I googled its on Shuang Xing from 11pm. That is too late for my folks they turn into pumpkins by then. Can you watch it on demand after it airs?

Heheh, yes @Erudite just mentioned. Which Astro channel exactly do you subscribe to? I got to get my mom to fix her subscription. I wasted a lot of time last night trying to teach her how to use the VPN to watch this on Youtube. She is very technology challenged.

Speechless and awestruck! There I thought that was just some figment of a Chinese novelist's overactive imagination!!!

Ty for sharing, that is so interesting. I didn't realize they also have to dub over Western shows. With Chang'an although I was excited to hear real voices, I was also let down at the same time and not jsut by the dubbing over. It was mostly by Tian Qi and Li Bi half the time, they would fade in and out in the middle of the dialogue making it especially hard to follow. I would observe though that even in Western movies or TV shows they never seem to calibrate the sound quite right - the surround is always too loud relative to the dialogues and your audio is either too loud or too soft depending on whether there is action or dialogue. So much depends on the actor's voice pitch I got so tired of constantly messing around with my sound settings that I finally gave up. The dialogue also fades in and out in Western shows unless its on super loud. It scares me that I have gotten so used to dubbing I almost prefer it at this point... But hey, they got to start somewhere and I am glad c-drama is going in the direction of real voices and possibly even on-site recording...

Oh wow, so awesome to see China softpower in motion! And tyvm for the Astro heads up - I don't have access here but I will be able to get my mom to start it also...

He was also the baddie in Weiyoung. He is a very convincing villain.

The beginning was destroyed by the censors but if scroll way down to the early threads around the time it started to air some book readers explain what was cut.

Makes sense - hope a well subbed version is available soon.

My top two are TMOPB and NIF. Simply the best.

I am watching free on YouTube set my VPN to India. I am hooked I hope Astro gets it for u ASAP then - Astro's subs are usually excellent, even better than Viki.
Anyway I think Blossom in Heart may be worth checking out. I didn't start it bc I got a tip this was coming and I never watch the same actor in different roles at the same time (LYT is also FL). But if you can't access this then maybe try that and let me know what you think?

I just finished ep 3, it is really excellent. Its political but not heavy in a slow and boring way but gripping with many twists (which hopefully they don't overdo). I am mentally prepared for a tragedy already so anything less will be a positive surprise and with so many episodes to go, can worry about it later.?!?!? This is the best role I have seen Luo Jin in so far.

It seems not to be licensed for any region on Viki. I tried just about everything with my VPN, which doesn't have any China servers unfortunately. On Youtube I was able to watch it from India.
