i'm watching this drama now, watching it for Wallace Chung. I love his obssessive characterisation, he did that well also in 'General and I'. But i'm not liking that this drama has a happy ending after his betrayal. I really like the doctor in the series, I wish she would have ended up with him. The book ending seems crazy as well. Reminds me of kdrama "What happened in Bali" it has a crazy tragic ending, that made complete sense because of how entangled and obssessive the characters were with each other. It was so shocking, I was laughing at the end.... I would recommend if anyone wants to watch it. Its really old drama.

me too, I really like him in his role, I can't see him being played by anyone else. He is so eccentric, and I think Duan Duan brings that special spice to that role.

i haven't watched this drama, but it seems it was meant to be an older man/younger woman romance as shown by the tags. And its nothing unusual in todays world. It happens all the time in real life. I know 2 couples personally who have been together for decades and have children, age gap 20 plus years. These days we also have older women, the cougars, paired with men in their 20s in real life, and I watched a kdrama depicting that if you want to see,its quite fun -A Witch's Love. ML is the hottie Park Seo Joon

You gave up too early. He is powerful general. But she is very smart as strategist as she has a special gift, she has a photograhic memory, she remembered each detail of a military book she studied as child. Of course, he can't compete with that. However he is powerful general. And when they come together as one, no one can outsmart them.... you missed out on a great drama. Its not perfect, there are many dragging parts, but the romance is exquisite and wonderful chemistry

i would say he fell in love with her at first sight, while she tried running away from him. She fell for him later. He recognised her as the girl from his past through that hair clip, so he clung to her from day 1. I don't know if the book is different, but the drama version is as i depicted.

I'm watching thiss now, just finished episode 4. Reminds me of a historical cdrama, Romance of tiger and rose. Similar theme of the modern day girl ending up in her own screenplay, as a minor character, who then becomes a major character. Its quite funny. Anyone watched this?

I am watching one of the drama she is in, and feel like she is female version of actor Tomohisa Yamashita. Look alike. They could play siblings

historical with comedy is definitely Joy of Life. Really funny characters and dialogues, however not a romance focused drama.

Just finished watching this drama. Its a good 8/10 for me. I think the pacing was a bit slow in this season, about episode 13-14 it started to get more interesting. But I started to lose interest after episode 36, when Pinjing leaves the city. It became slow and i feel like the villains were getting more screentime. However the biggest issue in this season - well ep 27. I won't mention what exactly. But that was stupid. He probably was the biggest reason many watched this drama. The story suffered from this.

But I liked how viewers got to get close to the Changlin Mansion family, the endearing relationships, loyalty, brotherhood, family and history, loss and heartaches... I felt it all. The villains were not as charismatic as in NIF 1. I didn't understand what was the reason for the Guru to try hurt the Changlin Mansion? What was he going to get from it? But Yuanqi's reason for wanting to get rid of them, I understand. While the PM and the empress - they were afraid of the power Changlin Mansion had so they wanted to weaken them to prevent any threats to the emperor, which obviously backfired.

It was fun spotting some actors from season 1, the biggest was the evil Xia Jiang from season 1 coming back as a good and caring doctor lol. And how season 1 characters are mentioned here and there and the use of the Mei Changsu tunnel and his braclet that helps PingJing at the end. Season 1 was definitely better executed but season 2 was still pretty good. I definitely felt like the legacy of Jingyan, Linshu/Mei Changsu and even Commander Meng lived on in this season.

Looking forward to season 3, whenever it comes out.

I'm watching Nirvana in Fire 2, his acting is good. Im enjoying this drama. And you should stop believing every little celebrity gossip. At the end of the day, we dont know these actors personally. Everthing else is just speculation.

They should at least have Wang Kai and HuGe come back in guest roles in season 3.... that would be awesome. And a final season 4 in modern era with all returning cast from season 1 including Meng and Marquis Yan, Jingrui/Yujin and even Prince Yu. I love them all!

kdrama: The rooftop prince.
I haven't watched it yet myself but reading the synopsis matches what you are looking for.

and also "Faith" with Lee Minho. But its a character from the past who comes to the modern world and kidnaps a doctor to take her back to Goreyo Era. Its an underrated drama. Lee Minho looks exceptional in historical swordsman outfit

I would suggest 'Joy of life' to you guys. It is also full of political intrigue, lots of bromance, some romantic moments, and big dose of laughter. All the characters are hilarious. Funny dialogues. And some sci-fi elements. Its definitely unique. we are waiting for season 3

yeah she does the same role in each of her drama... I watch her drama as filler between more heavier drama. My brain can relax. If you want a good drama to watch -you should check out Nirvana in Fire. Not much romance, but it just amazing drama.

Those of you just starting this drama and confused about all the characters and relations between them, I found this family tree that someone composed: https://imgur.com/AgvY9vx

I believe Nirvana in fire, the book was written by a man. This author is 70 and yes his name is Si Hai Yan. He is an author, screenwiter and director. I don't know who this girl is, and why her photo is up. but i believe she is not the author. MDL admin please fix this. There is the correct Hai Yan here on MDL that needs to be credited for Nirvana in Fire.

she is 18, so not a minor. But yes still a taboo relationship between a teacher and student.

its pretty funny, compared to some melodrama i have watched. There are a lot of laugh out loud and cringe moments.

But FL doesn't cheat here and neither is 2nd ML her lover boy, she never was interested in him.

Angelababy plays a smart FL again in Everlasting Longing. Her acting is way better in this one as well.
