Hard not to compare this to The Boss since ML is the same. I really like the Boss but here, I am not liking the FL's acting. She looks grumpy in every single scene and is pretty much expressionless. She just looks upset all the time. I wish they kept the ML angry at her longer as I found those episodes so much more interesting. In real life, would a guy who was dumped really try so hard to chase the same girl again especially when she just gives him attitude? I hope she shows another expression...maybe sad, touched, something other than a frown hopefully. I am watching it in the background as overall it is a bit boring. Meanwhile the ML has so many levels of expressions. He is always a good actor.

What are you all watching now? Going through withdrawal...

There's something about Jing Tian that sets her apart. She has such an elegance to her. The way she walks and moves, she is naturally very poised. It's almost like she has gone through palace etiquette training from the past LOL. I love that she just seems genuinely sweet and well-mannered.

Does anyone know why Xiao Zhan didn't win any awards at Tencent or iQiyi awards show? He had 3 dramas aired this year but he was absent at the two large award shows recently

I know!! I was so happy with that, Wudi looked so hopeless but they even made him somewhat redeemable

How can they make every character so awesome? Even Minister Du makes me want to cry. I am so happy the emperor is coming around.

I think a lot of people are annoyed with LTG but on the contrary, I LOVE his scenes! He's so obsessive and crazy, I love it! His acting is soooo good. He can go from being hopelessly crazy in love to serious and emotionally controlled within a few seconds. I find his scenes so captivating, and I feel for him. Even the ML and FL tolerate him to some extent given his deep, sincere affections - he really can't help himself! I hope somehow him and the princess fall in love with each other in the future. He deserves some happiness!

What a great drama from beginning to end. The romance was off the charts. I don't remember any ancient drama with so many intimate scenes and they were done so well. The love felt so authentic and passionate and the FL and ML have an explosive connection on-screen. Even off-screen they are super sweet together. Xu Kai's acting improved a lot in this drama. I really disliked Perfect Husband, it was so boring but this is 1000x better. I also enjoyed that they had lots of screen time, no annoying side couples that hogged too much screen time which was great. The story was so satisfying. There were humourous, anxsy, tragic, romantic and thrilling moments. Every character had good character development. They managed to squeeze all of this within 40 episodes which I commend. And finally for once in C-drama land, we finally get a complete ending that is not rushed!! Bravo to the whole team on this project! I hope the ratings go up. I think it deserves an 8.5-8.6 and I really think Xu Kai and Jing Tian should be nominated for their acting!

I find the princess absolutely stunning. Hopefully she gets some FL roles!

That means there might be a million side couples that we as audiences have no interest in! I can't stand a lot of modern dramas as they seem to fill in so much time with unnecessary and irrelevant storylines. I fastforwarded 80% of Only for Love. The story was so bad. What a waste of talent for Bailu and Dylan.

Not at all. There's a lot more action and battle scenes. It's more like Long Ballad imo with the focus on the military and the nation.

I liked the actor in LLTG but man do I hate him here!

I would really like to see how they filmed this scene. It must have took forever!

Wow episode 30 was intense. My heart is still pounding...thank goodness new episodes are released soon.

What is the broadcast schedule?

Yah this phone interruption is so excessive. I find I am fastforwarding a lot as I don't really care about the other couples. ML and FL don't really have a lot of scenes together and I have found a lot of their scenes awkward, that's my opinion. there's always an annoying interruption and their interruption seems so choppy. I can't say I like BL's character very much in this drama.

Does anyone know the story based on the novel? Saw the trailers, it looks so tense! Will it be a HE or SE?

I agree, I would have given this drama at least an 8.4-8.5!

Does anyone know if this will be aired anywhere else? It's not on Netflix, Youtube or Viki...

Thank you!
