Except when he breaks them. He swore not to enter the city and does it more than once, because the situation was urgent enough...

I don't get it. He had so many chances. Why didn't he take the throne and the girl. It would have been the best for the kingdom and people he loved? WHY? WHY? WHY?

Not always. There are many FL that are loved. They just need to be written properly. You are my hero, ten miles of peach blossom, crash landing on you, etc

Try The Long Ballad, staring Leo Wu and Reba. FM is not evil but she and the ML are on opposite sites in the face each other in the battlefield. She outsmarts him more than once and they are pretty even when it came to fighting skills.

I got here after watching TLB precisely because Leo Wu is such an amazing actor that I needed to see more of him LOL

Perfect!!! Thanks a lot :D

Same here. I love many of Reba's dramas but I believe TLB has the most solid script out of all of them. I'm a super fan of the Pillow Book but although Reba and Vengo have amazing chemistry the script is a bit weak at times, especially in the first half of the drama. TLG ballad isn't just a romance, it has everything: politics, history, battles, family bonds, romance and fully fledged, three dimensional characters. It's like a Chinese version of GOT but with better characters and without the fantasy angle.

Leo Wu is such a wonderful revelation. I'm checking some of his previous works because I can't get enough of Ashile Sun. His expressions, eyes, body language... I'm addicted and I need to see more of him LOL

However he so young that when I try watching most of his previous dramas I feel like a creep. It's terrible!!! Im gonna give Fights Break Sphere a chance, though

I've got a serious problem. This is the forth Johnny Huang drama I've tried to watch but no matter how good the plot is, how well written the characters might be, I just can't get into it. He's stuck in my brain as Gu Hai from Addicted and every time I see him in screen my brain is shouting "WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! This guy is Gu Hai, why is he pretending to be someone else? Go back to your husband!!!"

I've never had this problem before. I enjoyed Ping Pong life with Timmy and I've watched many dramas staring my favorite actors/actresses. What is it with Johnny that makes it impossible for me to see him as anyone else other than Gu Hai? I really wanted to watch this drama!

Is this adapted from a BL novel?

I'm a huge fan of Bin Bin but I dropped this drama ages ago after episode 3 or 4. IMO the MLs lacked chemistry and the plot was just meh. Do things get better after a while? Should I give it another chance?

Just finished my second re-watching of this series, what am I going to do now?

Li Change is such a strong and intelligent female character. She also experiences a lot of growth along the series... She starts out a bit childish and impulsive, but along her journey she becomes more reserved and less hot-headed and she learns to put the common good of her people about her personal desires.

Ashile Sun is the PERFECT male character. He is strong and clever, but he doesn't feel intimidated when his girl outsmarts him. He values and respects her both as a warrior and as a woman. He chooses peace over revenge time and time again. He allows her freedom to make her own choices. He doesn't try to control her but supports her all the way and of course he is head over heels for her.

Reba was one of my favorite Chinese actresses and she's the reason I started to watch this. I shipped her with Vengo Gao and BinBin in many dramas, but Leo Wu was a complete new discovery for me. I didn't pay much attention to him in NIF, but now he has climbed to my top3 favorite Chinese actors. His acting skills are excellent, and let's be honest, that scene he takes off his t-shirt? What a delight for our eyes.

I love the two characters separately and I love them as a couple. I could totally feel their deep devotion, respect, trust and love for each other. Perhaps I'd have liked to see a bit more passion between them, but considering CG had to live through one traumatic moment after another, it's not wonder that's not where her head escape was during the drama.

She reminds me a little of Katniss in The Hunger Games. She was traumatized, focused on surviving, and had to wait after the war was over to sort out her feelings. CH is also like that. Now that they had finally earned peace, they'll have many moments to enjoy the grasslands, never far away from each other... and slowly CH can heal from the wounds of the past. Passion will naturally arise after that. With a man like AS next to her, how could it now?

I wish there was a novel. I'm not fond of manga or manhua, I need more words to keep my interest

I read your post and I love it, but honestly, after watching the whole drama, I don't understand how there are people out there who still doubt they are married and happy together LOL

CG was very impulsive and playful at first, a bit ignorant of politics, and of course she was of marriage age. I put her in the late teens category, maybe 17-19. AS was more focused, he had plenty of experience in battle and was the leader of his own battalion, so I thought he was in his early to mid twenties, maybe 22-15.

I've never been hit by an arrow, but my period is one of the most painful experiences I've suffered in my life, if not the most. It doesn't happen every month, sometimes I have "good periods" but when it does, it feels as if my insides are been crushed by an electric mixer. I cry in pain, I cry literally, I shout, I bite my hand... and it doesn't get better. Last time I took 2 naproxen pills, which is as good as a narcotic painkiller, and it didn't help at all. I still wanted to die to stop the pain, that's how bad it can get for some women. So for me, seeing such a strong female warrior incapacitated by her biology felt like one of the most realistic scenes in the drama.

I hope it will be available for international viewers

What happened? Why did they fight? I'm too busy to catch up, please, tell me, I dont mind spoilers!

It was the same for me, but after the first handful of episodes, YKN really came to life while XT's story line became a bit static. Right now it's going a bit slow for both of them, although that's to be expected for such a long drama like this.

Best drama since Addicted. It's the only one of his drama I have managed to watch since Addicted. He's awesome!!!

I didn't like this season at all. I found it bland and boring with a pointless story-line and lines so cheesy that instead of romantic came across as hilarious.
However, it really pisses me off how people love to scream "toxic" as often as they can, these days, I've even come to hate the word, so I applaud you for your comment.
Every famous epic romance in books, movies and television displays some "toxic" elements, because otherwise is plain boring. Elizabeth and Darzy, Romeo and Juliet, Elena y Paris, Cinderella and her prince, Buffy and Angel, Elena and Damon, Anakin and Padme. So what?
First, people are not perfect. A couple can display toxic behaviors at times and get over it -- through therapy or other means. Second. Literature does not need to emulate real life. I watch movies or read books to escape reality for a little while, as a way of evasion, to enter a fantasy world where true love is powerful tool and dragons can be born out of human sacrifice.
I dont need a fictional role morel to teach me how to live my life or how to behave when I'm in a relationship. I can figure that out fine on my own. People should me smart enough and reasonable enough to create a good moral code by themselves. And if they are not, maybe the issue is on them. So I wish they would stop shouting "toxic" at ever turn and allow us to enjoy our dramas in peace.
