Somebody wrote in a review that “it’s hard to watch 36 episodes and keep track of all of the plot points, and it’s the watchers who can’t keep up, it’s not that the show is bad.”
My reply to that person: I’ve watched Story of MingLan 12 times. It’s got 73 episodes! I’ve watched loads of other really good dramas with over 60 episodes, repeatedly. When a story is well written and well acted, you don’t even care how many episodes there are.
In this drama, the actors did their utmost, but the writing is just so lacklustre, what could those actors even do at this point? Smh
To be fair, at this point neither ML nor FL are in love with each other or anything like that. Some, ahem, “things”…
I used to be a ballroom and Latino pro-dancer, because of that I generally easily spot when two people have chemistry or not. In dancing, most couples with little chemistry, no matter how individually skilled, they would rarely win competitions. It’s just how it is

I’m well aware of that, and I have written it in my other replies, but even without sexual chemistry, there can still be *some * chemistry, they don’t have it
I agree with you. Sometimes things work well, and other times they don’t. I strongly believe that when actors…
I actually like the female lead from other dramas, and she usually has crazy chemistry with her male stars, but in this one it’s just not there… I wonder if the actors just didn’t click and that carried through
Why did they not use the TBOY actor for Su MuYu?! He was absolutely perfect in that role. Complete eye-candy coupled with great acting, what more could the directors want?
It's not the actors. "Chemistry" is created by the director. He can make them look in love or drag it…
There’s certainly some truth to that, but I’ve seen Yang Yang have better chemistry with battle-hardened dudes in Glory of the Special Forces than with the FL. Chemistry between people can exist even without it necessarily being sexual. They have very little of any kind of chemistry.
I really like the story so far, and the editing had much improved. However, just like Blood of Youth, it has one single flaw - Male Lead and Female Lead have little chemistry. They are gorgeous on their own, suit the novel description, but as couples they just don’t click together 😐
I don’t really care for romance in such types of drama, however it is somewhat distracting
My God, this has been an absolute blast of a journey! I’m amazed that such a good drama was filmed and I’d waited so long to watch it! Beyond impressed with all aspects of this drama! 😍
When the Master says “We weren’t master and disciple in truth, we were only fated to keep each other company on our journey, and now the journey has come to an end,” I really couldn’t help crying 😭😭😭
