my top series of all time. i miss this so much and im afraid ill always remember this series everyday, not missing even a single one.

in ep 40, the way how they showed Li Lianhua's life after the tragedy really made me cry like a baby. How he slowly changed and let go of the past one by one, how he farmed those vegetables, took care of animals and how he built lotus manor, living alone in peace and quiet... its unforgettable, he has suffered so much T-T

I watched "The Untamed" and then "Word of Honor" before this. I saw this series as a top recommendation when I searched for the other two. At first, i skipped it because i thought episode 1 was not interesting. Hence, i just watched other dramas, after the release of TJOL in which i finished, i found myself really liking the main actor there, (Cheng Yi) it's my first drama with him. After doing some digging, i found out he was the MC here too and with patience, i finally got the interest to continue this series. little did i know, it would be one of my top dramas of all time. This was a huge rollercoaster of emotions; all the actors were top-tier and so were their chemistries with each other. My heart really goes out for LLH on this one and ill forever miss him, alongside FDB and DFS 🥹🥹🥹

This was my first Cheng Yi drama, and it completely won me over. It’s the show that made me binge-watch all his other works, and now I’m eagerly waiting for everything else he’s in! Mysterious Lotus Casebook is truly a masterpiece. Every moment is worth watching, and I know I’ll definitely be rewatching it again (right after Sword and Beloved, lol).

The sincerity of the characters relationship are really moving, and the best thing about the series for me.

This drama was something I don't usually watch (I'm more in the romance tags). There was minimal romance here but the brotherhood slayed away. I loved Cheng Yis character. To me this drama was so freaking good. The way it ended even though sad, made me feel as though it was the way to end things.

900K rated this on Douban. That's a huge number of people rating the show! And just in time for the 15K comment! 🤗

I watch the drama at least 6 times now and I still look up for small clips. I miss Li Lianhua and the trio so much.

No, but the bromance is very sincere and touching, so it's a fulfilling series emotionally

Rewatching the last scene between chuhe and the emperor make me cry again. Im glad they got the chance to reconcile and emperor passed with ease. He really loves chuhe

Its due to the plot revolving around a poorly constructed miscommunication trope. LY is slaughtering civilians to frame Tang Lici because he thought Tang Lici killed his adopted father Fang Zhou. Which could have been fixed by Tang Lici clearly saying he was actually trying to save him but even when he cleared up the miscommunication, LY still didnt believe him. Its like a forced miscommunication which could be grating to some people.

I think my expectations were too high. This was one of my most anticipated drama since it is from the writer of mysterious lotus casebook and has XSY in it. I didn’t get a chance to start till now but I am disappointed with the first couple of episodes. The action went too far into posing and cgi and looks cheesy to me. I was really hoping for something more like MLC where the actors did the action choreography and the cg is just there as a background assist.

In general, although the show has great visuals, somehow it looks a bit too "digital" like too high definition and not quite real. It reminds me more of blood of youth than MLC.

I hope the mysteries will get a bit more engaging soon. The ML is good looking but his character and the setup is not that interesting so far.

8.6 for such a bad show is crazy
it is like i was just fast forwarding each episode bcz there was nthg that i found entertaining and finally dropped it
maybe it was bcz of the high expectations i had for this show
this show was supposed to be way more than just romance but they failed

i am sorry to be saying this ( no hate) i can't keep watching a drama that don't have a little common sense, so i drop it after ep12. os she strong or weak ( writer please decide) if you want a FL to be saved/protected by ML or A badass FL you can't have both,
with the advance medical we have a sword/knife going through your body will NOT fully heal in one month, but to heal and move and train like nothing happened.... in an ep drama want us to picture ML as a badass no one can miss with ( that guy telling his son even if he kill us the emperor will do nothing), like writer please stuck with one theme ,what happened in ep 1 ? you want a badass ML or ( oh i feel sorry for ML ) you can't keep having everything in one character, i don't want to go to details like why i stopped watching but just one simple example:
she got poisoned and can't see, in the temple with a guide stick she was about to fall in water ( got saved), next she running away ( without a guide stick) passing on a kind of bridge (:i don't know what it called in English, that over water road ) and it turns right, without a guide stick she just passed that without falling in water then go on and fight get slash and a sword through the body then fall from a cliff, saved!!? but never wake up in one month ≈ 30 days without food, let forgot a sword going through your body was healed in one month, but the blood lost and no food for one month ( i mean eating properly) will need another month or so for you to stand, but no the writer goes straight to training....

There is nothing legendary about the female general.
This drama is just another typical romance story.
90% romance and only 10% about FL doing General duty.
