Platinum Fox

I understand what she is getting at. There are places in the drama where I feel Leo Wu overcompensated in his acting. Don't know if that was him or the director, but it didn't detract me from liking the drama. Overall he did an excellent job.

I understand. You have the right to feel that way. There is one place in the drama where I feel much like you. He over compensates, but it didn't detract me from watching the rest of the drama.

Hope you find something you enjoy.

No, you did not spoil anything for me. I have watched all episodes. I agree. Do you understand about the rules for concubines? Since she is not the main wife, but the first concubine does she have authority over the other concubine? I sensed that in the drama she does, but she didn't get a say in him getting another one, so am not.

I agree and that is what he is doing acting like things don't bother him, but they really do because he knows he's love in with her. She is the same way.

Are you saying Leo Wu is overacting? That is a possibility. LBY is a cold, aloof person. This can sometimes come off as stiff.

If you were the male lead would you tell the woman who has repeatedly called you friend and told you that she didn't love you, that you loved her or even hint that you loved her?

This is a troll. This person has 443 plan to watch dramas and completed and rated very highly other feminist dramas. Don't think the person even knows what feminism is.

If repeatedly coming back to a drama is stalking, then I stalk at least two dramas and who says we must move on?!

I disagree with you. Anger is a very human emotion. Different cultures have different ways of expressing anger. In Korean dramas I see people clinching their hands into fists when they are angry. LBY's face will soften throughout the drama in the first part as he talks with and falls in love with Shao Shang.

LBY's character is a very serious, angry character because of the injustice his family and the people of the Lone City suffered. He feels the guilt of surviving and not being able to find the people responsible for the massacre.

I work with angry people every day. Their facial expressions are exactly like LBY's.

Thanks for the discussion. Happy drama watching.

For 15 years Ling Bi Yu (LBY) has investigated his family's and the people of the Lone City's deaths. In episode 1 the emperor has ordered him to drop the investigation and just move on with his life. Wouldn't that make you angry all the time and feel like the whole world was out to get you? No justice for all those people including your family.

When he meets Shao Shang's great uncle he finally learns why the soldiers could not save the people. The city's armory was stocked with inferior weapons. The great uncle has told LBY who switched the weapons.

His character will remain serious and angry looking until he meets Shao Shang face to face. Throughout the drama she will slowly help him learn to enjoy life, but not forget his mission of revenge and justice.

Because his entire family was killed by unknown persons, this is what he is investigating in the opening scenes of the drama. Shao Shang's great uncle was a part of this and leads Ling Bi Yu to another person who replaced good weapons with inferior weapons.

Interesting, now it only has nine episodes. Do you know what the episode was to be about. I could tell you if I watched it.

I am in the U.S. Netflix just added a second season.

Liu Rui Lin plays the third brother of the male lead. He is after the throne himself. His part is hit heavily in the first 20 episodes and then sprinkled throughout the rest with him coming back in the last few episodes. His character is one of the villains. The drama is worth watching for him alone as he is excellent in his role.

Dai Gao Zheng I do not remember him. He must play a small role or one that is not heavily focused on.

Happy watching.

Who are the actors? Maybe I could help you figure out if they are a major part of the story or one or two episode characters. I happen to start liking Yang Yang and Zhao Lu Si from this drama. They turned me into a cdrama fan. But not everyone likes them and that is okay.

Yes, these are just my opinion. I was just commenting on the fact that you wrote you didn't understand the ending of the first season.

The ending was perfect for the season. The FL's goal was to own Fragrance Garden and open it to the public. She accomplished her goal. Liu Chang makes the decision to enact revenge on his parents by making them eat the dog that Prince Ning gave them meaning he is going to kill Prince Ning and could possibly kill his parents for all they put him through. He will also seek revenge on the princess for basically ruining his life.

Prince Ning gives the male lead a concubine, so she can spy on the male lead and report back. Prince Ning is suspicious of the male lead.

"Sorry y'all couldn't get pass 1st ep. Fell hard asleep and woke up to their first meeting and skipped through and after ep1 I asked myself... what am I looking forward to in this show to keep me pushing and I thought. oh nothing." (original post)

From this post I get that you didn't like the first episode and would not be continuing the drama (that's fine). However, since you did not comment on what you were looking for in this drama, how can people help you find what you are looking for in it. People who have watched it could have suggested that maybe wait before judging the drama has nothing for you as what you are looking for might be in episode 2 or 3. Sometimes all it takes is a little patience.

Let me give you an example. A poster wrote that they do not like it when the main leads are married to someone else (lilcub). The poster asked something like how long does it take for the female lead to be married to her first husband. I wrote back and said episode 4. This was quick and simple. The poster was happy.

If you want people to respect your opinion about a drama, then invest a little more time in it. My interpretation of your post is that you immediately felt it had nothing in it for you. I have felt that way about many dramas, but I don't come to the forum after one episode and state that it is not for me. This makes you look like a hater. Jmo and how you interpret this post is on you.

Also, I would suggest that you read people's posts carefully. You said you would appreciate me quoting you correctly. I never quoted you. You just further explained your reasoning as to why you didn't like the first episode and formed an opinion about the drama (that it had nothing in it to push you to watch). What you said above is your interpretation of my post which is not what I said at all.

Thanks for the discussion. I truly hope you will find a drama that will fit your needs and enjoy.

Of course you have the right to express your opinion about a drama on this forum. However, you watched one episode and judged the entire drama on that one episode. Now if you had watched the entire drama and felt that way, people would respect your opinion more. It would be like me watching one episode of Goblin, which I know you love, and saying it is the most illogical and boring drama out there. Instead, I watched 13 1/2 out of 16 episodes and dropped it because of how illogical and boring it was.

So while I can respect that you disliked the drama, I really don't understand why you had to come and comment on it here when you know nothing about it. I suggest whenever you encounter a drama that you don't like after one episode, just move on with your life. Find something you will enjoy.

Thank you, I agree with you about the drama. I feel posters have misread the character of Liu Chang. He is basically a nice guy who has been driven to do some not so nice things. Liu Chang's beliefs are very different from his family's (father), who just wants a fast track back to the high position he held before and doesn't care how he gets there. It will be most satisfying when Liu Chang gets his revenge.
