In my history reading people comments in drama forum, it is common for the majority to only see from FL point of view. Perhaps because the majority of viewer is female, so they are more in tune with the FL than ML. In APL, it is already far better because quite lots of us empathize with Bai Jue.

I also cry out my eyes because of those three previews..... If a mere preview can render us crying like this, I wonder what will happen when we get to see the full version .....

Hahahahaha!!! I shall consider this drama then. Watching Xu Kai is always a pleasure for me since he is so handsome. His acting skill also decent so I will not feel any uncomfortable feeling when watching. I actually had planned to watch Lingjian Mountain and Dance of the Sky Empire back then. But I lost my interest when I watched clips of those dramas because either the storyline or the FL was not into my taste.

ALP whetted my appetite again for him though, hahahha. So I might check all of his dramas after I am done with ALP.

Cheng Yi acting is perfect in L&R in my opinion. You already knew me from L&R so I don't need to defend myself here whether I like that drama or not. You also already privy to my personal opinion on the FL acting in L&R, which I think taking away a certain percent of emotional pain from that drama. Honestly, I was crying more watching Cheng Yi in The Promise of Chang An than him in L&R.

Anyway, in term of tragic level of the storyline, ALP is higher than L&R. I have read both novels, and as I see it the novel of L&R is quite bland. Xu Kai is indeed not yet a perfect actor, but he has his own charm when portraying emotional pain that really cut to my heart. I have to say that he is very good in that department. Zhao Dong Yu is the most excellent Chinese actress I have met in this decade (not counting the veteran actress like Vicky Zhao or Zhou Xun). I have to rate her acting ability far above Yuan Bing Yuan. Thus, the FL pain in ALP is transmitted to me perfectly in here.

Those two scenes from ALP that you have described are not the ones that make me rate ALP higher than L&R in terms of emotional pain. The first emotional scenes that touched me is episode 15-16 when the lead couple understand the truth about tribulation of chaos. And I am waiting for the ep 47-49 for the peak of emotional in this drama.

Her Shang Gu has such dignity that I seldom find in other actress portrayal for similar character.

Court Lady? I heard that his portion is smaller than It should be as ML?

I really hate how the drama butchered the Legends. The novel itself is good, and it is a happy ending. But the drama made such unnecessary change that made me annoyed to the FL character. Not to mention the horrendous ending.

Those people are crazy for criticizing her of being ugly. I understand that people used to face like Yang Mi, Dilireba, and Yang Zhi for playing this kind of fairy character. But Zhao Dong Yu has her own charm. And her acting ability makes glued to my screen.

This is my first time so satisfied with an actress performance in emotional tragedy moment. I have too many "meh" moment when watching dramas these years, and those mainly caused by female lead inability to convey sadness. I was so frustrated. It is to the point that every time I watch a drama with angst in it, I always very judgmental toward the lead actress from the beginning.

I want the sadness to not only be conveyed by tears. But by your whole body and aura. My catchphrase is that "lots of actress only know how to cry prettily in front of the camera". They cry very pretty yes, but my heart is not moved by their crying at all. If at all, I feel annoyed instead ......

Me too!!! I cannot stop myself. These days, I am reading the ALP novel and reading comments in discussion forum. And we still have 5 days to go, arrrghhh!

Original source wise, ALP novel is far better than L&R. I love L&R drama, but the delivery is lacking in emotional department. I cannot feel the knife to my heart.

From me watching clips here and there, the story line is interesting indeed. I will watch since I like eSport drama.

If you need to go working in the morning, I am not recommending you to watch in the morning, hahahaha, less you go work with swollen eye, hahahahaha

I cannot even bring myself to watch FIYS properly. I watch a few clips here and there, but my mind keep returning to ALP. Xu Kai is eye candy in FIYS, but so far I don't feel that the FL actress is appealing enough, acting skill wise. And after watching Zhao Dong Yu here so stellar in emotional department, I .......

I see. Will check after I am done with FIYS then

My mind is full of ALP right now. I am going crazy with waiting

I haven’t checked The Long Ballad. Dilireba is not my favorite actress ... I have reservation of her acting skill. Was she any good there?

Xu Kai, I have liked him since The Legends but his other dramas after that are not really my cup of tea so I didn’t follow them. His acting in ALP here is a nice surprise. I am happy for him to be able to work with actress such as Zhao Dong Yu. Hope he can continue to improve.

Welcome to the club

Ehhh???? NOOOO!

He is very suitable for costume drama. I know that he has lots of xianxia already and want to try different thing. But I hope he can return someday ....

Already in my watch list ^_^

But, from watching clips, I have a feeling that I will critic the FL soon after I start. Perhaps I am biased, but honestly I have a certain prejudice toward Kpop idol acting skill. Let's see .....
