Loved the drama. Gave it 9 stars because I just felt at the end (the last 4 episodes) were extremely rushed and…
Yeah I didn't really mind the fact that there's no "grand reveal". I feel like HFX and BFX are too comfortable with each other that knowing an extra identity is not going to change how they treat and care for each other. Tbh it's kind of nice that HFX confesses to BFX before he even realises that she's Princess Xiyun...
Can you spoil me if Feng Lan Xi really have the illness or it is just an act?
HFX is faking illness initially so that his father and step-mother (current King and Queen of Yong) would think that he's harmless and leave him alone to do his own things. It's just sad that he has to be so vigilant against his own family, but I guess that's royal politics for you...
I don't think it's random trivial at all. This is taken from a romantic love story in Chinese history. The story…
Wow that's so interesting. I remember seeing couples painting each other's eyebrows in historical C-dramas (e.g. Love and Redemption) but never know what it means. Thanks for the insight ❤️
Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you find it helpful 🤗I agree, this is a spectacular wuxia production…
Hahaha especially when it takes me forever to decide on what to watch next. I'm one of those people that take weeks to pick a new drama and then finish binging it within a day 😂

Well that's a real shame. I love the complexity in historical C-dramas. The Story of Yanxi Palace and Story of Ming Lan are at least 70 eps, but the storytelling is so cohesive and engaging. Even the most popular romance historical ones were well over 50 eps, like Eternal Love and Ashes of Love.

Yeah, wouldn't mind another 10 eps tbh. Btw I've heard that they now restrict C-dramas to 40 eps max, is that true? I don't know how to speak or read Chinese so it's hard to stay up-to-date with the news in showbiz...
HFX and BFX are not actually enemies. It's more of a healthy and playful rivalry. And yes, they like each other…
There's some politics in there. But you can choose to focus on the 3 main characters instead (HFX, BFX and Huang Chao). I saw that you've watched The Untamed and Words of Honor, this shouldn't be heavier than those.
I think they're portrayed as equals of each other. Initially, HFX might appear to have the upper hand cause he's more devious and also in charge of the secret intel organisation Foundain Abode. But they kind of even out later on, and where one falls short the other would make up for it.
I don't think the story said which one is better than the two of them in terms of martial arts, coz they continue…
They're officially get together in ep 28. Tbh it doesn't feel like a slow-burn for me cause they flirt so much that it feels like they're together since ep 1 hahaha...
Wow, at ep 28 and I'm furious at this King. How can a father do this to his own son? I hope he has the worst ending…
Yeah the HFX's father is pretty callous. But he does kind of redeem himself later on, just a little bit though. I guess that's the whole problem with being king, it's a lonely position and you get tricked by all sorts of people.
Romance is "slow" in that it takes BFX and HFX a while to get together. But the chemistry is still there, plus it's so satisfying when they do get together 😁
Just started the show after The long ballad. Currently on Ep 2 and literally have no idea where is the story going.…
HFX and BFX are not actually enemies. It's more of a healthy and playful rivalry. And yes, they like each other but it takes a bit of time for them to realise that 😍
