Ha ha, i though people here more interested in kiss count.

oooh, thanks!

Some side information that no one here is interested in. But .... Gao Xianzhi, the general featured in LX's play is the guy who actually lost the famous battle of Talas in the Fergana valley, where Tang forces were routed by the Islamic Arab forces due to a betrayal of Turk mercenaries. The Chinese soldiers that were captured in the battle help spread the technology of paper to the West.

Of course. It has Netflix power behind it. I actually subscribed to wetv for one month to watch road to splendor which I dropped. I wouldn't know about Atc if I did not subscribe.

I googled pursuit of jade statistics for comparison. I got a shock. Except for the heat index, POJ is huge even in China. Don't get me wrong, I think this is a better drama but I was surprised by poj numbers.

ok, but i felt even the outdoor scenes, the colors were drab and washed out.

the odd thingy is that the candle flame-were flickering in the wind while the incense smoke was vertical. i think LX took it as a supernatural message from her parents Chop!. Marriage approved!

Is the Story of Minglan picture quality as good as Against the Current on wetv? I'm watching at 1080p on youtube because its not available on wetv in my region but the picture doesn't seem as sharp or as clear as Against the current. Maybe its just 2017 vs 2026 technology.

They look compatible in age to me. I feel FL's married hairdo bun made her look her age(30s ). When she was a maid uniform, then she looked really young (20s) for her age.

Really? I always thought Duke is higher and not necessarily bestowed on royals only in Ming era.

Ok not bad, but he ain't no Mark Knopfler though.....

Don't get your hopes high. The camera will focus on a candle than slowly pan to the ceiling.

No. Some Chinese did stay on after Zheng He's voyages but the great wave was during the late failing Qing dynasty and chaotic republican era. They were mainly laborer's and coolies from Southern China finding opportunities in the British colonies.

So 29/9, it has less total views but more average views per episode than 28/9 ? What's the equation? How do they count views?
I'm guessing average views per episode ~= ( total_accumulated_views/number_of_episodes )?

This type of drama are one of those rare ones that pop up once in a few years.

Ahhhh....

In ep41 tease, jinqi is looking at LX's drawing and writing. Is the calligraphy beautiful or bad as I can't tell.

🙏🙏

That brings up the question, who officially designates whether a drama is S+? Some government agency?

Is it common for cdramas to leak left and right? I even saw the dialogue script for todays upcoming episode when they visited the unmarked tomb.
