I agree with you about the relationship between Haishi and Shifu.

The Emperor is beyond salvation.

I like General Tang the best of these three. Tilan is a big yawnfest, and Little Prince is as dull as a 40 watt lightbulb. LOL

I agree. He reminds me of the villain in Longest Day in Chang'an.

Too funny! I am ROFL at your comment.

Very good point about the consorts! They don't exist? The palace is large, so why does he keep running into her? Very suspicious, indeed!

I agree with you. She is annoying and boring, just like Madam of the Fabric House, Tilan's maids. and Emperor.

Same here! I think she is a mole for her clan.

I agree. Neither actor, nor character is not earning sympathy votes. I skip his scenes since ep 12.

I started skipping his scenes. He's not getting my sympathy vote.

MDL forgot to credit his role in Novoland Pearl Eclipse, as E Er Qi.

AvenueX's reviews are subjective. Marcus is more entertainment industry driven.

The Youku Youtube channel membership is behind the Youku website VIP membership. I think the website charges more, too.

I am watching Rhydian Vaughan for the first time, and liking him out the gate. (I might have seen Monga, and noticed him). In ep 12, there is a revelation about Murong's birth. This would explain the casting of the character, which is perfect.

I am right there with you. I hope the next twelve episodes are tight, and do not fall into the C-drama black hole of extraneous filmmaking. A lot of the drawn out C-dramas could be told in 24 to 36 episodes, and look like a filmmaker's masterpiece. I have dropped many dramas due to the extraneous filler and flashbacking, slow progress, choppy editing. loud singing.

I think that the drama might also get released in Iraq, so the Director wanted a showcase a solid product to that country. There is a large group of Iraqi names listed in the production end credits. I presumed that their country of origin is Iraq, as I watched the episodes.

This is a whole different pace to Jun Jiu Ling and Lovers of the Red Sky which I am watching concurrently.

Hello! I am Western Chinese, and not Asian continental Chinese, but I remember daydreaming when I was twelve years' old, to counterbalance the boring secondary school and the bullying. I didn't write anything down, as it would be incriminating evidence. ROFL Watching the young Chen Mei Ru is deja vu.

LOL When you think about it, the plot is embellishing a twelve years' old girl's day dream fantasy about her Babylonian Prince Charming. The disclaimer at the beginning of every episode, "This story is purely fictitious", is hilarious. I guess that they are telling the viewers that there was no Iraqi/Chinese ancient alliance.

It seems to have a Hollywood or British production feel. It is not choppy like the C-dramas that are loaded with filler, filler flashbacks, choppy editing and loud music. I don't mind the flashbacking to twelve years prior. The scenes expand on the story, without disrupting the concentration.

She was domineering toward Murong in many scenes, but when she recapped her misery to Murong, I started to see myself.
