Seemed to me HS only wanted to use YQ to ensure she got the Heavenly Empress position, as initially she was not powerful enough and she had pressure from her clan to maintain her position.

After 1000 yrs of separation though, running towards each other and hugging seem to be logical actions. 😊

Wondering the same especially for Feng Yuan (a demigod). She hardly uses her power at all. Was there any mention in the earlier episodes about what happened to her power that I've missed?
I love the cast and story of this drama; I was invested in the characters and purchased wetv express package for the first time. The production and CGI are acceptable and do not interfere much in my enjoyment of the drama. However, the fighting scenes are dissatisfying to me. I do wish they have put more effort in the choreography to make them more enjoyable to watch/beliavable.

Lol true for heavenly realm. What a disappointment that they are just similar to judgmental mortals that try all means to avoid destiny. AY released the primary suspect of assassination and massacre, and she basically did it in broad daylight.

I stopped after 3 episodes last time when the drama was first out. Yesterday I decided to continue, and completed all episodes in 1 day. I do always love crime and mystery drama, and I like the storytelling of this one - to me it was cleverly arranged as characters involved in Mei Bao's life were introduced. It got me engaged and invested emotionally. Eventually the story progressed and it became quite straightforward as to whodunit, but the efforts to find the evidence were the nightmare! In any case, I am happy they made the ending as is as I couldn't imagine how I'd feel if they were really into reality.

Well since this series is meant to be lighthearted, the ending is proper although farfetched! The wedding customes are really nice. Yup Mu Yan still doesn't have closure yet and now he will need to deal with Chilan... Need the next volume after next.

Not sure why Jiu Er was portrayed to not be able to defend herself at all during the fight scene in Ep 30. She should have at least unsheathed her sword, although it probably didn't mean much at all. It's understandable for WJ, but Jiu Er is an inspector.

I like her cuteness and his grumpiness. They both are very childish when they are with each other. And given the way the whole inspection bureau characters are set up in the story, she just fits in with the bunch! I like that she seems to be part of the ordinary, as she should be.

In my opinion, this drama explains almost everything throughout. Just have to go along the storyline.

> 46 mins is not an issue. Oftentimes they disappear midway or at other places.
Agree about Dajun, shouldn't have involved him much since the beginning if he is fading eventually. In the original version, Dajun had a lot more role, but he became quite creepy! I honestly am not bothered much with the portrayal of poor guy Mu Shi Ming although I'm curious about his past history with Zhengyu or if their relationship can be explored more. The drama doesn't really say much either about He Zhengyu's past with Wu siblings/Mu Shi Ming.

This happens to be my favourite version among other legends of the condor heroes (excluding the 1983 TVB version as that's the only version I haven't watched).

So far enjoying the story!

As I don't want to spend time watching long series, for this drama series I just watched trailers and some episodes, mostly with the romance in it :) and didn't bother to go through the detailed politics part of the drama; just some understanding of the overall conflicts between the royals, the bad consorts', and of the ML's background. Based on the selective scenes that I watched, mostly between FL&ML, FL&Empress, FL/ML&Empress Dowager, ML&Lang Kun, I would say I really enjoyed these relationships. FL's and ML's acting and facial expressions to me felt spot on. And loved the endings too - given all that's happened to them, and how their love endured, the ending was beautiful.

Surprisingly, I got hooked on this drama for its storytelling. I've watched up to ep 6 so far in YouTube with English Sub. Waiting eagerly for the subsequent episodes in YouTube. Just one thing - I feel the production is lazy, i.e. they didn't bother to make the prison break in ep 1 more believable (still I can assume that it's probably a group of ppl that had worked their way through the prison, trying to break the princess out - not just a doctor and his daughter! - and it was not last minute plan to replace the princess), and maybe they had a secret path to leave the palace. Also, in the flashback where the FL stayed with her teacher, she was dressed complete with the princess ornament on her hair; thought it was secretly done? Anyways, these could be easily overlooked eventually.

Have watched til ep 18 on iQiyi (all episodes posted as of now). Quite enjoying this drama so far. Storyline is quite unique and it's intriguing to see how it will progress. No issue with the acting, I find the casting is more than acceptable and support my overall enjoyment of the drama. Waiting for the next episodes!

Ah a bit puzzled with how these gods who are supposedly thousands of years old are still acting like adolescents when they are jealous. Just think that they would have learned with time!
