I know right...she is one actress I feel can have a natural chemistry with anyone without trying.
Contrary to what many may think or wary of, I don't think the main plot is of romance but the struggles of an employee of poor background and how she overcomes them. Plus her relationship with her mother is another main plot. So far I like her relationship with Gu Fei...with their banter and all. Even if they include romance, I think it will be very minimum as it's not the focus of the story.

I am watching this one because of Vicky Chen....
This girl is phenomenal. There are natural born actors and there are genius actors and she is Both. Plus I'm a sucker for mother-daughter relationship plots.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST STORYTELLING DRAMA I'VE ENJOYED WATCHING IN A LONG TIME for this genre....
I never skipped a scene or dialogue and in this drama it's very important....e.g. Chu Chu just mentioned how Prince Jinyu and Jinli look very different from eachother as twins, and what do you know...we have a birth secret storline waiting to be revealed...
And my go to person to put the pieces together if I'm confused or curious is Head Eunuch Qi...I know he is a villain but I enjoy watching him. His intel is top notch and his nosyness matches mine so whenever I wonder about something our Eunuch is also wondering the same thing...and best part is he goes seeking for answers or shall we say his minions whilst I just wait to see it unveiling.

Productive Procastinator is subbing it but it's not complete yet.
I understand Mandarin so I watched it Raw.

Saw the eps, the trailer, a lot of kisses and I watched...hehe = I am simple girl indeed
To the one who started the 16 episode drama era...Thank you.
It's just nice to bingewatch something without fast-forwarding all the draggy scenes.

Oh I hope so...Can I hold onto your word please.
I heard it from this YouTuber I follow : AvenueX on her WOH review video. She is pretty reliable which is why I was bummed. So I really hope she is wrong this time.

I AM LITERALLY IN WORD OF HONOR LA LA LAND GUYS...
And I really don't wanna get out because if I do, I will have to face the fact that it's over (not ready to accept that yet) and worse off that Chinese Gvt has just decided to put a stop on all Bromance/BL dramas (there goes my highly anticipation for Immortality)....
So the moral of this statement is Reality Sucks so I shall go and rewatch WOH concert....again

Well, I'm pretty occupied by Kdramas lately which I had taken a break from (nothing was tickling my fancy really) and a few others...so here we go
Kdrama
Vincenzo (a masterpiece)
Mouse (it has everything I was craving for, from crime, to some twisted theories etc)
Law (love the intricacy of this one when talking law stuff)
Sell your Haunted House (exactly as it says...it has ghosts and I love it)
Cdrama
Imperial Coroner (very impressive drama with a smart FL
Love Scenery (my guilty pleasure)
ThaiDrama (BL)
Lovely Writer (it has everything I wanted and more)
etc.... (I'm sure there is more but I can only remember these on top of my head)
Now these dramas may not be great or impressive to you (actually some = me too) but they all found a special Place in my heart and believe me it's not easy...

Okay...I neither feel happy or sad about the ending. Don't know why but I just felt flat really....nothing else. Okay after seeing parrots in the trailer I thought no-more birds...Only to see one (a black one) in the end flying from one L-character to the next. Am I supposed to feel happy??
I have been a massive fan of this drama since it began but somewhere around the middle my love started wearing a little thin. Maybe because I have been watching really impressive dramas lately together with this one so the competition for my heart have been pretty tight....I guess this is where that saying..."It's not you, it's me" sort of apply since there was necessarily nothing wrong about the drama to make me feel this way but I just did.
I digress....This has been a really great story and acting. I specially loved to watch Changge's journey of self-discovery and growth plus finding love. I think that it was a collaborative team work that made this drama a success as the supporting cast are memorable too. And the cherry on top was seeing Le Yan and Haodu's love story unveiling....Really I thank this writer for adding Le Yan character in the drama who doesn't exist in the original novel (so I heard).

I'm such a sucker for noona romance so I was super excited when I heard about this series....so why are the subs taking forever???

It beats me...

You know a drama is really good when you completely forget that its ep 36 already and there is no kiss scene. I actually don't mind not having it if its going to be a parrot kiss scene...
It appears I'm still salty about that trailer...hehe

Yes, say that again for the people in the back. I had to refrain from commenting any negative stuff about Changge just in case I ruffle someone's feathers but in truth, like you perfectly said...all these characters have flaws too so it's good to reflect that and not have a tunnel vision. I mean in reality it actually makes them human with imperfections.

Yeah, wow...that's impressive. I also love Rattan though.

Anyone wanna tell me if this is worth watching, please?...well 55 ep. ain't no joke.
I'm hesitant ti start, only to get bored or dislike it. Plus, I don't know why but the FL acting is not really my cup of tea. I like Xu Kai though.

With the age gap being emphasised and lifestyle you would think that the Leads are worlds apart. Actually, I have noticed that what drew Lu Jing and Liang Cheng together are their similarities and curiosity about eachother. They are both immature, silly but likes to have fun especially together. They understand eachother's quirks without saying anything. They say opposite attract but these two prove otherwise. They are two peas in the same pod and yet they work so well.
It is pretty much this pairing that has kept me watching...Plus Lu Jing is a master of flirting and can't blame Liang Cheng of falling for him...I am too...hehe

Oh that lil dance was sexy and he looks really hot in a suit. You can see how comfortable and fun Lin Yi is having with this character.

I'm really not expecting anything on our Leads kissing scene because from the trailer, there is a glimpse of an akward angle then the flashing fake sun, followed by birds pecking...so not really anything to look forward to. Actually what's the point of including a kiss scene that looks 1) fake 2) you put all kinds of stupid distractions 3) you include a bizarre scene (in this case birds). Are we 5 year olds... A story can be good too without a kiss you know and if you want to include it, can you do it properly...
Alas, if it turns out well then the joke is on me.
The one kiss scene I'm looking forward to is Hao Du and Leyan's as I saw a sneak pic....I just love these two.

Aww this drama is my poison these days. The story is moving and the angsty...poor Changge...gal can't catch a breath. Then poor Ashile Sun who is trying his hardest to protect his Changge and suffering in the process.
Usually I would frown upon Leyan character because she falls into the damsel in distress (DID) category but in this drama, Leyan has becone more than that. On the surface, she is timid, naive, DID but what I like about her is she is willing to learn and change. Through all her suffering (well that's mild suffering), she has seen how the commoners live and have no doubt that she is going to be more stronger and courageous. Or perhaps it's the power of Zhao Lusi who captures Leyan character with all its essence and portrays it with such grace and sincerity. Actually, I watched an interview where everyone was praising our Rosy Zhao's personality on set. They said she always brings out a smile in everyone's faces.

I asked the same thing..it beats me...
Its like in a matter of days, he has a moustache and he is Your Majesty...
I had to do a double take to see if I missed an ep.
