Ugh! Between Xue Ying (Goddess of Snow) and Wu Huan (Fox vixen) who is bigger toxic poisonous snake? Right now, XuanYi the Devil King isn't even a big threat yet.

Hmmm...I still prefer XuKai's white robe and long hair over Vic Zhou's similar look in The Flame's Daughter. The Vic Zhou looked in that role was not a good or perfect fit for his face or body structure.

OMG! Really? I see that Wu Huan flirting with him all the while knowing MuGuang likes her. He just wanted to do well as a student. I hope he isn't corrupted by Wu Huan. What does her name mean anyway? I know it's No something. From the moment she came in to the drama I knew she was up to no good.

Jiu Liu Overlord is his only main role so far, but hope he can get better gigs and get noticed so he can be given better main roles.

Thank you for this comment. I think Episode 1-12 is still a great watch and can't wait for more. I've been hooked since episode ONE.

Actually in real life, FL the actress is like 3 years older than the ML actor. Both actors look fine to me, I actually don't have that much complaint there.

Honestly he's a better actor than Zhang ZheHan ever hopes to be, but he doesn't get the chance to be ML and I'm stuck having 2nd ML syndrome whenever he's there. UGH. Someone please give him Main Male Lead role where he gets the girl!

Honestly Yu Zheng should favor Yalkun Merxat and give him first billing for once. He's such an underrated actor with bigger acting chops.

Oh no! Wu Huan shows up in Episode 7. She seems desperate to change her fate and willing to use the FL to do so.

If you like TianQi, have you watched him in Qing Luo? He's the main lead there.

It's my first time watching XuKai in a drama, and I think even though he seems aloof , but I do notice ever since the FL kind of "invaded his personal space" in a good way, he seems to have slowly fallen in love with her. He apologizes and cares about her opinion of him. When she's happy, he's admiring her smiles. He does break into smiles. Haha.. Maybe I notice him falling for her.

Episode one was not boring. Even after watching 4 episodes it was NOT at all boring to ME. I kept watching because it is super interesting to me. I didn't once felt bored. This drama has 49 episodes, if someone doesn't like the story or cast, they can find a drama that suits them best. No sense in wasting time watching something you don't like or find boring.

Awww his little pony tail so cute!

I don't care.

No thanks.

It's not really 32 episodes. K-Dramas are usually 16 episodes long, being about an hour long. But for some reason this drama each episode is split into halves making it seem like 32 episodes when really it is 16.

I'm just stating facts that the attempted rape did happen around those episodes since you said it's been a long time since you watched the drama. The other person may have commented and expressed a difference in opinion.

This drama is loosely based off historical figures namely Nurhachi and Hong Taiji so of course they aren't going to change history and make the ML a one woman one husband type man. Historically GeDai (the maid) gave birth to the 2nd Qing Dynasty emperor while the ML is the first emperor of Qing Dynasty. So the maid is historically an important person who's the mother of an emperor. If the ML had been based of a fictional character and not a historical character, the drama would have been able to make more liberal changes and make him able to just marry one person, but nope. The trouble with this drama is its about actual historical characters and being the eventual first emperor of the Qing empire, he had to marry for political and other reasons of producing more heirs. In sum, the set up was already not something ideal for modern viewers to accept where polygymy isn't accepted.

Again, it isn't a debate, just thinking practical about it.

Honestly, this is a drama that's loosely based on the chieftain Nurahachi and the ML as Hong Taiji eventually becomes the 1st Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, future viewers, do not enter this drama expecting the ML to just marry the FL and only be husband to one wife. When it's a period drama that has the ML playing a prince/emperor its kind of expected that he will have more than one wife/concubine. You'd set up yourself for heartache if you expect the drama to go against what's historically there.

Episode 13~15 CuYen brought her back to his mansion after the father's new concubine had her drugged and when she refuses his advances as he was jealous of DaiSen and Hong Taiji, he was going to force himself and rape her if not for the two brothers stopping him. The father also tried to rape despite technically being her uncle by marriage.

Wow. I was a bit confused with episode 17, I reaaly thought it was Xiao Mu confessing to Song Ci but it felt really off. She wouldn't do that. And I think Song Ci could tell as well? It's Yao Meng Gui pretending to be XM.

My favorite actor to portray LingHu Chong is still Jackie Lui Chung Yin and I've watched many adaptations of XAJH. No one beats him in my books.
