Could not agree more. GOT has so many unnecessary gore and disgusting on women scenes . NIF just has great dialogs and plots

After Ep20, I would say : The plot and dialogs are Not as good as the two mentioned, but good enough for today CDramas. The acting of ML anf FL is okay. Those supporting roles in NIF were more interesting and more intense. I will watch to the end.

My Top Three Handsome Chinese Actors :

#1 Chen Xiao with the best acting skills,
#2 Yang Yang with the least acting skills,
#3 Song Wei Long with improving acting skills.

Both Leads are very cute .
The dialogs, pace, and plot are not bad so far . Not bad at all !!

I find Xiao Zao [Qiao Man's maidservant] is very pretty . Her smile with her canine is very cute!! I hope this young actress get more roles to show her acting skills.

I like the Lighting and Visual, all female costumes a lot.

LiuDuanDuan always gets my attention with all tough-life, abandon son characters, he has played over the year. He is always a colorful and spicy addition to his dramas.

I like XuanLu here. Her acting is on point. Don't know her much. Saw a few Eps of Love& sword, and did not like her there.

First time, really watching XZ. After 4 episodes, I am not sure if it was the plot or the pacing or his acting. I am still not connecting to or felling for ZH 's revenge scheme or his emotion or his intelligence. But will continue

Childhood trauma

first look, 1st EP, I like the lighting in the house

I enjoy it well after slow start . But after Ep 18, everything gets better and better.

WZQ ML is quite handsome most of the time, but in some scenes in this drama he was not. He always has the best posture in modern day five piece suits. Check out his other dramas.

So this drama is getting better after very slow 17 episodes. They should have consolidated the first 17 episodes to 5 and we still understand everything.

More interesting now . Both Leads are good, solid actors.

I like LuYuXiao 's acting since saw her as an assassin and other roles. She could plays each role well, better than her peers. In this drama, most of the time she looked unflattering. Her costume was pretty, but her face was not. Probably the Hairdo.
Same goes to WZQ, he was quite handsome in the Imperial Coroner, both modern dramas with WYW.

After watching 3 EPs, I wish this drama was better in term of story telling. XuXiao seemed not so smart as a detective. Ep 2 searching scenes were too long and did showed any interesting layout, just wasting time, really. Hope it get better

Can you please tell us in the US? Is 170K a big number compared to other popular dramas? China has lots of people. How legit is this Douban score?

I will start playing GO after finishing this Drama for sure.

First time watching these actors. WBQ as CuiYe is so good. His timing of line delivery and acting is excellent. Very Intriguing. CYS as a young actor is so good too. Good Casting.
The plot is very interesting.
Just dropped those Romance /revenge drama -Sijin, the Glory to watch this.

Exactly, this plot line was off. In addition, How could he even see it at the bottom of a dark, small well?
Why did she just accept it without saying anything?

Hope that these kinds of bad writing are no more.

Could not agree more about the chemistry. I even skipped on their wedding night scenes. JT& ZWY has the least chemistry grade in all current C dramas.

More interested in Zhang GongZhu 's reaction on her daughter 's death. ZhangGongZhu is quite pretty when she has no makeup .

Due to one Ep a day, I will switch to The Glory and come back when all Eps released.

After watching 3 Eps, I will follow this one. The plot and pace is not bad so far.

For FL, CDL is good in acting. She can look pretty in some scenes. A bit too skinny, so her head/hair looks big compare to her body.

For ML , XYL does not have the ML 's look . He has a bad guy look. BUT maybe he could pull this off and make me like him more later. I hope he can charm me. First time seeing him.

Really like Lighting in this drama.
