I think she basically just needs to be acknowledged, she wants to change her ‘low’ status by making way up so people won’t underestimate her anymore. I just took her as a very smart and scheming person, so it just doesn’t add up when she is easily manipulated by snow god who was just no brainer kind of evil.

Oh, did people really stop watching because it’s boring? I stopped watching at ep 3 when it was first showed, just because I liked it so much I was so afraid if I watched all 8 ep I would have none for the weekends! Am I weird?

Yes, Xu Kai did great. In fact if you said ML always showed similar facial expression, FL is the same. She always use the same smiley, laughing, ‘naughty’ expression all the time…but those are just their cheracters. I think the fact that FL face looks much older than ML makes it difficult for Xukai face to fit into this old god image…as I said in my other comments, lucky the FL has a tiny body to help her looks young. But overall, I think XuKai didn’t disappoint.

Hey, I do like the cold one too. Actually Runyu is! Remember he was the one nobody can ever get closed to? I love Luo Yunxi ever since! Yes, that Yin Yang Master is definitely not enough Deng Lun for me. Do you watch his fun shows: Go Fighting or Great Escape? So hilarious, I just can no longer remember Xufeng anymore!

Haha, come on! Who didn’t fall for Runyu, he was so sweet and warm…he was just hurt so badly and he did right, the emperor and empress needed to be de-throned! But yes, Jinmi and Xufeng were a better fit, I admit. I just watched too many Go Fighting and Great Escape and Deng Lun has destroyed the whole XuFeng image in my mind, haha. I wish to see him in drama again…

I know, right? I also posted regarding how tiny the FL posture is…making me feel like looking at 15yo girl dating an adult…it bothers me a bit but lucky the FL has mature face (definitely her face is not like a teenager)…I dunno why, she is not pretty per se, but her smile is very nice, I like seeing it. Xu Kai’s smile is always gonna be a ‘naughty’ smile, making him fits into more playful character. But I also like him cold like this :)

Haha, to be honest I did hope for Runyu and Jinmi too since I just can’t help to feel the need to see him with a happy ending…

Is the FL posture really small or this is edited to emphasize that she is still very young in the early episodes? Because when I watched short trailer before, I didn’t realize how small she was compared to Xukai. But watching the first 3 eps, I really feel she is so tiny and somehow Xukai is so big…making her looks like a 15yo body.

Whoa, my feeling exactly! I’ve been longing for similar feel towards the couple like I felt in ashes of loves and somehow that longing is fulfilled when I watch this…

C-drama only. Actually I don’t have anything specific, I like those with great cinematography. I watch costume drama too, and I see Ancient Love Poetry is showing today? I tend to watch those with familiar faces, and lucky I start to know quite a lot chinese actors and actress. The most recent I watched and I liked was Mr lizard and Ms Crow which was not too heavy with good editing. I tried watching Eternal Love, but I just don’t like Liang Jie (sorry, this is purely personal preference) so I can’t stand seeing her all over.

Is there a translated novel in a downloadable file like pdf or epub or anything? I want to read but I want to just put it into my kindle instead of reading online…

I didn’t finish 1st episode, I dunno why, it was just not pleasant to watch. But yes, I have nothing to watch, any recommendation please?

Is this drama worth watching? I am only on episode 1, like 15 min, but I already cannot stand the cinematography. The whole set looked so fake, the building the floor everything looked like a big house decorated with wallpaper. Pls tell me they will not ‘pretend’ to be abroad the whole time? And I also cannot stand the westerners, their acting were really bad. Did they just randomly pick any westerners in China to take part or what?

You guys see the ‘coming soon’ list in Tencent and WeTV?
Even those drama just recently wrapped up like Who Rules the World is put out on the list already! Even The Longest Promise which is said to be currently filming…arrgh, pissed me off so much!

I think you misunderstood. I am not saying they have to fight like crazy for their loves, against all the culture and rules, to show the chemistry; I am just saying this drama is lack the ‘fall-in-love’ moments that make u feel their feelings are real. Despite being 19, Furou is supposed to have this mature personality allowing her to have such courage, understanding, agility...but it just doesn’t add up when it comes to her way in ‘feeling’ and ‘relationship’. I wonder if the book is written better in expressing the depth of feelings each couple has, with a good background story.

In my opinion, all the couples in this drama don’t have any chemistry. But basically because the story behind their relationship is never strong, I never remember any ‘deep’ moment where they fell in love. ChuMu fell for Furou just like that, and Furou fell for Chumu...when? And how? I dun even remember. And Luying ying fell for Yanzifang...over a pearl?? Then she fell for King Liang despite his evil? Then Fuyin for LuQi...even nothing could make sense of it. Maybe the only making sense are ChuLing and princess, and probably ChuJun and crown princess’ sister...but those are more like puppy loves...so, I never expect to see any love chemistry

I read all the comments here and made me realize ‘oh I didn’t miss any scenes, I just need to imagine those scenes myself coz they cut those scenes’
Why do they have to rush though, I mean they have come to 55ep, adding another 2-3 won’t make any difference...even if they wanna cut, why on Xu Kai, his part is already short enough the whole series!!!

One of the minister basically said ‘crown prince is evil, king han is evil...both are sons of late empress...who knows what kind of evil king qin will be’...basically cursing the late empress, and I wonder how he wasn’t punished or how the emperor was cool about it :D

Wait, can somebody explain to me, did I miss any scene? Why ep 47 started like that? Suddenly Chumu and Furou relationship were patched?

Really? I thought wetv doesn’t air this drama...
