I remember watching this in 2013 when I was a kid. I was not that young but it was fascinating to me. I remember every detail of it and I think it is the reason that I got hooked into watching historical drama to this day
I agreed with you. I didn't rate this series as low as you but I totally agreed with everything you said. This series is so OVERRATED!! There is no chemistry and acting skill. I feel like the only thing that makes this series so popular is the visual. I don't often care about the visual when I watch a drama because to me, a good drama comes with good chemistry and good acting skill, the visual is not that important. SS2 is not as bad as SS1 but I still think it is overrated
Can u please tell me in which episode xiao zhan will appear??
he is one of the most famous actor in China. He is #1 in "the most handsome face in the world 2020". He is also the one of the lead of the famous cdrama "the Untamed" which help him rise to the top. He is the most adorable and talent actor in my opinion. His acting is top notch (if you watch the untamed, you will know about his micro-facial acting). I could go on but I'll leave some room for you to get to know him
