To that poor person that's going to miss this awesome drama bcos of bad reviews and comments, just give this a try and don't listen too seriously to popular opinion. This is probably one of the best xianxia romance dramas I've seen. It's a perfect blend of romance and politics and it was really an adventure. I think what I love most was how the FL wasn't just going on her on her own momentum and stiffling all the side characters to death. There was great chemistry not just btwn the main cast but also the supporting cast, really sweet.

In my opinion I don't think similar looking situations count for similar roles/characters. Besides the role in question was a side plot involving espionage, it wasn't the character she portrayed throughout the drama. There are several dramas with a subplot of a woman cross dressing and assisting male characters. So let's blame the producers and script writers for their lack of creativity and their recycled productions.

Cross dressing has been a trend in Korean and Chinese dramas for a long time especially in Chinese wuxia/xianxia. Plus Yang mi is not generally known for cross dressing roles, there are actresses that have taken up this same role more times. I don't see how thats an issue.

very well then...?

It's very good to see people devoted to the work of maintaining fairness and protecting other people's interests. Pls remember to address this issue as fervently for princess agents as it's also a plagiarized work. Otherwise it would seem as though your interests are biased against a particular group of people. Thanks.

Lol, cannot agree more. After my first Chinese dramas the princess weiyoung, TMOPB and legend of fuyao, princess agents and story of minglan, I had my opinions on the acting skills of these actresses and wanted to run it by fellow drama watchers and was stunned by their comparisons of these actresses with ZLY all the way up and Tang Yan and YM way down. Soon it became obvious how these things work. It's sad that you can't get honest opinions without bias, I don't think I see stuff like this in k-ent.

I never watched the original version so I don't know what I'm supposed to be expecting. I'm just hoping that everyone falls into their roles quickly. Since they're veterans I doubt they'll give a horrible performance.

Peng xiaoran...in

Yes I have faith in Yang mi for the chemistry department and falling into character

Also happy to see Qin Lan here. I enjoyed her role in story of yanxi palace

I see Wu Jin Yan has been smart in avoiding idol roles since story of yanxi palace and legend of hao lan but I've not yet seen her in any number of dramas where I can judge her range. So I'll just cross my fingers for this year and next

Honestly don't know how I feel about this one and I can't rely on reviews and ratings when it comes to Yang mi. Lol, Pple know how to spoil a potentially good drama.

Hope the age gap won't be a problem since I've never seen Yang mi paired up with a younger actor

I've seen that I've come to prefer anything with "story of" rather than "legend of". The story seems nice and Luo Jin is the main attraction here for me, hopefully Zhao Liying will give a better performance here than she did in the story of Ming lan as I found her acting inconsistent to character there.

He/she been one of them all this while saying some crap about others needing to join so the ratings would be a 10, how disgusting. And he/she's been here arguing shamelessly in the comment section. yet these fans don't understand why they are being called crazy

How would anyone know if this is overhyped or not when u're one of the people that have already reviewed this drama. Of course backing it up with the awards it has received and the awards the lead cast also received (though they didn't say it was for the drama but lol isn't it an obvious promotional tactic) what do you expect people to say

Why hasn't this aired yet it's been sometime

I mean bus*

Lol, if anything goes wrong with this drama the next post I'll see is about how fast she'll throw the entire production team under the boss along with the other actors

Stuff like that is not even supposed to be a topic. Maybe if pple stop hyping this drama I might watch it with low expectations and get in later
