Anyone else think Zhou yi Ran seems to be sleepwalking through his role ? Perhaps it’s the screenwriters fault but his character seems wimpy. Yes he can fight, but the chemistry isn’t chemistrying.

Found it on my Netflix phone app…🤗. Still not on my TV app..weird.

So… ep 14 coming Tuesday on Netflix ( it’s Tuesday 9:30pm now !).. nothing. Youku I have to pay to watch ( I am VIP !). What the heck ?

Good start - but the background music leaves a lot to be desired 🙄

I’m rewatching Sword and Brocade- after enjoying Seven Tan in The Road Home- and the kidnapping was like Déjà vu !

Cao Lei is 49 ! 😳 ( eldest Lou brother )

Set designs seem more down to earth than the flashy sets of other Ming era dramas.

Move on then …

Well you are consistent - rating either a 1 or a 10 ! BTW - ML can def fight !

So many corrupt officials …. 😡. Seems they are all tainted.

On episode 14, and im just about done with this mother ! I thought I could empathize with her loss and all, but she’s downright nasty to her kids ! I realize it’s probably a culture thing - but the attitude is relentless - with no thought or care for the kids feelings. It’s frustrating - I wonder what Old He saw in her. 😒

Just not feeling this one. FL is annoying - I guess she has a back story but I’m not sure I care enough about it. ML is cute, but rude, but I can’t blame him…. he is kind and caring to his companions though - but she just presses his buttons. It’s early days, but no chemistry so far. Will have to wait and see I guess.

I must admit - these villagers are ‘over the top ‘ annoying, so far.

Meet Yourself was pretty good though 👍

So much effort, these days, is put into idol dramas, with beautiful costumes and martial arts - but this is a masterpiece ! I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea - historical dramas are full of similar names, faces and circumstances, and are hard to follow, but if you stick with it ( maybe rewind a few times, for clarity, or research the odd time for knowledge), and you will be as impressed as I was. This follows a lengthy time period and fulfilled my interest in an interesting historical period. Superbly acted - kudos to all involved. This one is a standout.

Finished 🥰….and already missing the village community. I thoroughly enjoyed this series. I’d watch a season 2 in a heartbeat. Kudos to all involved in this incredibly heartwarming show. 👍

Such a charming slice of life. I’m really enjoying this.

Yes !

This was brilliant ! So underestimated and overlooked. If you are looking for an historical drama, factual and concise this is the one ! I admit I had difficulty with the names etc - and had Wiki handy- but it was so well executed. Bravo to all involved !!!

Could also have also done that with ‘Im just a fisherman ! ‘ 😊
