"There is also quite some talk about the billing order (the order in which actors' names appear in promotional material). The announcement lists Fan Cheng Cheng before Zhao Jin Mai, which is rubbing Zhao's fans the wrong way. " - From the news release
I can understand why her fans are upset about the the billing order. Zhao Jin Mai is a veteran actress and very established one . On the other hand, Fan Cheng Cheng's acting is so so at the best and he is also a post child of nepo baby in the industry.
I've had some of the same thoughts. I'm not sure what to think of the drama at this point. They've given us snippets…
I'm a big fan of Sun Li and first time watching Chris Wu who has been great in my opinion but I'm so frustrated with the script. Too much of extra characters and Yan Ling is involved with everyone coming across her path. Why did she get involved with the mean girl who stabbed the play-boy and Yan Ling didn't even know that mean girl. The script should focus more on some main plots such as Dr. Luo, a very interesting greyish character!
I'm up to ep 6 and Yan Ling, FL, has been running around like a baby sister for her former student and busy to be a detective to find out what happened to her best friend and who her best friend's boy friend was and found him. Doesn't she have a teaching job to attend to? Doesn't she have a young son to care for? Also there is a battered woman needs her help to fight her violent husband. What's wrong with the script? Can the production team dress her up a little bit better? She's a college professor and should dress somewhat semi-professional and please comb your hairs and tie them up nicely! I know when you're under stress, your appearance is not at the best but you're not constantly under stress.
Several my favorite actors, actress, such as Guo Jing Fei, Ning Li, Sun Jia Yu and Wang Tian Chen are on the cast list so I'm going to give the drama a try!
Second couple are in more mature phase of their life whereas the leads are young whose puppy love came true hence…
Oh my God, just go watching Hollywood made dramas/movies, there are plenty of hot kisses, slow kisses, and intimate scenes. You keep asking for these and this is Chinese drama, the standard is wide and deep. Sometimes we get to see more hot scenes and deep kisses between ML and FL in short dramas/vertical dramas and I thought that I was watching Hollywood made dramas.
I really like Bai Yu but Zhu Yawen is totally stealing the show at this point. Now that he no longer has to try…
I fell for his acting in Ming Dynasty(2019). His cry scene with Wang Xue Qi, another seasoned actor played Emperor Yongle, was so heart-wrenching and so good!
He was supposed to be early teen and very young. When his brother, 6th prince took the crown after the death of…
From Wikipedia, he was 13. The production team should have cast an age appropriated actors to play the character of the princes. Actor who plays Qian Hongzuo is 32 now but Qian Hongzuo was 13 when his father passed away. Check it out yourself, Wikipedia.
Qian Hongzuo (928–947), known as King Chengzong, was the third ruler of the Wuyue kingdom during China's Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, reigning from 941 to 947. Inheriting the throne at age 13, he presided over a relatively stable period, focusing on economic prosperity, Buddhism, and, late in his reign, a successful 947 military campaign to support Li Renda in Fuzhou.

Qian Hongzuo only ruled Wu Yue for 6 years, 941-947. After Qian Hongzuo's death - from Wikipedia as below Succession: Following his death at age 18, he was succeeded by his brother, Qian Hongzong, as described in Wikipedia. Wikipedia Wikipedia +6
That scene where Qian Hong Chu confronted the Khitan King at court and stabbed Zhang Yan Zhe is fictional right?…
He was supposed to be early teen and very young. When his brother, 6th prince took the crown after the death of their father, 6th prince was only 13 and he's 9th prince so he was even younger. I don't know the time lapse between this event and the death of their father but I'm sure he was still very young. I checked, the death of the father in 941 and the said event, the 9th prince action in the court approx. in 945 or 946 so Qian Hong Chu was a teen, 14, 15 or 16.
Watched up to episode 12 and so far I gotta say Feng Dao is the MVP of the whole drama.He clearly lived up to…
The character Feng Dao steals the show and actor Dong Yong delivers the best acting among his peer. His acting and the line delivery outshine the others.
I love zhou yu tong, but from what I see in the comments, she barely gets any screen time. Should I bother starting?…
Don't watch it, this is not a romance drama. She is just a display in the drama and has a zero impact on the plot which is very accurate to the history so far.
Zhu ya wen & Yu Hao Ming really outsmarted Bai Yu in their roles. i never knew this actor of guo rong,he's…
I don't think the presence of the FL adds any values to the drama itself. Her being there seems to be a display. I understand she'll be the queen later to Baiyu's character but still ...
I don't know why ppl look up to Jet Li as some kind of national hero. 1. He's know to badly hurt / physically…
Agree! I'm also surprised that he appears in this film; I thought he has been in a poor healthy condition. As a person, I despise him. The way he treated his first wife and their daughter at the time unborn yet was despicable. As an action actor, I think he has passed his prime time.
