He read them but did not understand them I think. Or at least he did not read the classic ones well (he can’t remember the details). He’s into these “new age” wuxia stories or rather, he is eager to write the type of story we saw in the beginning with the overpowered male lead lol. I think he will learn as he goes on. I hope. Or else we have all wasted our time 😂

Studio put out a vlog too: https://m.weibo.cn/detail/5211237208296461

Yes, the politics and palace stuff are very underdeveloped, but I think the highlight of this show (for me anyway) is the food - the history behind dishes both cultural and personal.

Not sure yet. After ep 4, we are to suspect ML's old neighbor (the son Park Min Jae), but I'm not sure if it's him. I never watched the original French show, so don't know who it is.

Ooof, more blood spitting for our poor Cheng Yi in this drama. Hoping the good guys start winning soon.

There’s not a great amount of logic in the way this police team is operating, but I’m still interested enough in this story to find out who is the copycat and so forth.

I don’t mind stories that take a bit to develop, so I’m hoping this gets better and better as it goes.

This may not be the most sophisticated production or the most ingenious script, but it's been a fun show so far. Cheng Yi has always been a great performer to me - no matter what the story is, he has good screen presence and brings you into his character easily.

I'm pleasantly surprised by Eleanor Lee. I've only ever seen her in Fake Princess before (which is a totally different character lol), but I like how her character here is stoic, direct and courageous.

Yeah, she is his adopted older sis. No romance so far but has some great brotherhood and brother-sister (family) relationships

Do you mean the previews? You should still be able to watch previews on wetv/iqiyi even if you don’t have an account.

Great start to this wuxia drama - seems to be a classic coming of age and adventure story, which I'm enjoying so far. To me, this kind of story doesn't need romance to thrive - there's plenty of other types of chemistry that is really nice to see (love the family dynamics and the 2 pairs of brother-sister relationships depicted so far, and Liu Suifeng is an intriguing antagonist). Hope the energy can keep up the whole 40 episodes.

First saw him in Eternal Love. Rest in peace, and may peace also find his family and loved ones.

I think it’s an older clip, but the guy can make anything look good, even just walking 😆

Seriously, yes! I keep checking this page for news on season 2. But it’ll probably be in 5 years or something…😭

Yep, Deng Wei also back to work today.

Yes, she’s truly a selfish and emotionally manipulative person.

Lots to look forward to in Sept/Oct:
1. New Pantene endorsement 9/8
2. Activity in Chengdu 9/14
3. Paris
4. I think another mystery endorsement is coming too
5. Hopefully more news on the Rosy Clouds drama

Just rumors I believe - I’m waiting to see if there are any official news/announcements before rushing to judgment.

Finally all caught up. Really liked ep 10 - a great example of when the case is interwoven well with the character storyline (in this episode, some mother-daughter reconciliation).
