Untamed, Chen Qing Ling, Grandmaster of demonic cultivation was my eye opener to both BL genre and Chinese dramaland. What an experience. I didn't end there. I went straight to stalk the author and discovered even more.

I can only tolerate Bromance in Chinese BL novel adaptations or in a normal drama like devil judge. I have had enough of female leads especially fragile female leads.

Female lead????!!!! And I thought it is BL. I'm not watching this

Me being disappointed at the cast doesn't mean I don't acknowledge their acting neither hating on them, it's just that I Imagined other actors as per MXTX's description of Xie Lian and Hua Cheng. These actors don't look like it for me. As you said they may prove me wrong. The one thing I can't compromise on is the budget of this drama.

I won't eye the sctipt as far as I have seen well made BL adaptations but the budget for this drama has to be good like the one in Ashes of Love. I would like to see those glamourous palaces of heavenly officials. Tenecent would have taken this project.

I'm worried about the production though I'm disappointed in the cast already. The production has to be good.

My worry isn't the actors neither the script because TGCF isn't as explicit as 2HA. There's nothing to censor. My worry is the production cost of this drama. This drama won't do with limited budget like WOH and CQL.

May be he will take on Bai Wuixiang ?! Idk

If only they didn't include romance and comedy in a crime drama. I'm not watching it

I will be honest here. If one is love deprived and they want to see something overly romantic to the point of being TOXIC, watch Ashes of love. If one wants to watch a show where the pacing and the storyline are good, Go for Love and redemption. I agree with some of the points but I will mainly talk about the plot of these two dramas. In Love and redemption, we get to see many conspiracies and wars between all three realms, Love and redemption isn't focused on love as their focal point of the story. So there wasn't a draggy moment while watching it unlike Ashes of Love. This drama is so long but ironically there isn't a solid story other than watching an evil Heavenly Empress hating on a dimwit grape fairy and on Run Yu while her Phoenix son looks on and not helping. Run Yu, Run Yu 's mother, Empress and Yin You's back story was what was interesting in this drama. It's literally. The love story between leads from Heavenly realm to mortal real then back to heavenly realm and then, they break up while Run Yu being the third wheel and then they search for one another and that's it. I'm not a romance freak. So Ashes of Love was a waste of time to me. I can't even give it a rewatch value. However I have watched Love and redemption two times now and I'm still loving it. I just can't forget our glutinous Tengshe, our relaxed Lize Palace deputy Chief and our confidennt Wu Zhi Qi.

This drama didn't meet my expectations especially after knowing the big twists. Time travel dramas kinda disappoint. The only charm it has was the intrigue mystery but after figuring out the big picture, one loses intrest. I wonder how it got such ratings. For me memorist is still far better.

I have come back and this drama had the best plotwists and mysteries and more importantly it had NO ROMANCE yet it never lost it's pace for a minute. If I'm to choose between MEMORIST AND KING ETERNAL MONARCH, my answer is clear.

His role as Kim Chunchu in Queen Seon deok wasn't mentioned in the article as well.

True, it's a pity. As a Sageuk historical kdrama watcher, I see you guys are missing out on the beauty of costumes and their culture let alone their intense political storylines in royal courts and war conquests. Their modern dramas are good but since I'm not a romcom person, I'm selective regarding those. if it's not a medical, Makjang, thriller or law, I don't waste my time.

Historical romcom???? I guess it's Joseon era. With a kpop lead actress, I guess we are going to have a cheesy storyline. How I wish for Yoo Seung Ho to take on a grey character in a very epic show , be it historical or modern setting. I have watched way too many heroic, handsome male lead rescuing a very beautiful damsel dramas.

I noticed this handsome man in Queen Seon deok, then in warrior Baek Dong Soo, then I continued watching him in magician, remember war of the son, the legend as Damdeok and in The emperor, the owner of the mask. I just couldn't see his romcom my strange hero. I just want him in a verg dark Makjang drama taking an antihero character.

This is strange. The last I checked was 12 eps, now 14 eps. They will destroy an epic story if they insert in ideas which weren't originally in the story like in the last empress. Glad I'm enjoying the devil judge. I won't miss it as much.

OMG. I love this. I devoured all 6 episodes and I have joined the waiting torture. I craved for a scene of a live court in law school where some prosecutor appealed to supreme court to change an article in the constitution but they didn't do it properly but here it's just INSANE. The writer knew what I craved.

You have said it. They play detectives in a very dangerous battlefield which annoys me

I'm from devouring 6 eps of devil judge. I wonder if this drama is as good.
