This drama is getting more and more disappointing, new roles come and go, the main leads are always doubting, behaving silly with each other, happenings jump out and gone with no consequence or continuity, now they even introduced another girl to create more misunderstandings and silly time filling scenes. If editing is the cause of lack of flow in this drama, it would have been better if they took out time filling roles and alot the screening time to the development of the main plots. Much as I like to follow the work of the main male lead, I am moving on to some other dramas.

yes, poor editing, cutting out scenes does impact on the flow of the narrative and connections between scenes. the editor should have done a better job, there are plenty of dramas based on lengthy novels but none, as far as 8 can remember, gives me a sense of disconnections as this drama does. I hope it gets better, I like the cast.

It just does not flow well, disconnections between scenes, new roles come and go. I have a feeling that the screenwriter made a poor adaptation of the novel. Am still following it, hoping it will get better in the episodes to come.

you are right. so many scenes are disconnected. a poor screenplay so far.

I speak and write Chinese, for me, this drama is poorly written, it is disconnected between scenes in many occasions, no explanation is given to tie them up, scenes jump from one to another and is everywhere and nowhere . So far this drama, (at least up to the ep.10) is the least coherent I have seen for some time.

The screenwriter(s) really did a bad job for this drama, the story branches out everywhere and nowhere, subjects and scenes get dropped every 5 minutes with no development or continuity of what just happened or said, what is wrong with the production? what a waste of a good cast.

the story is extremely weak, quite a waste of a good cast.

sinde the male lead has never disappointed me, I have decided to give this drama a try even though the female lead looks so "green" to me. The drama began well, the beginning looks quite impressive..

I have learnt to appreciate the performance of the male lead since Lost You Forever and hav tracked down his work since then, a great actor, very natural, so totally immersed in whatever role he plays, he does not act the role, he is the role he is given to. However, I cannot say the same about the female lead.... anyway, I'll watch this drama to the end, the male lead has earned it.

A new storyline so different from what we see everyday. great performance from the cast, totally recommend it.

love the story and the performance of the cast is impressive. I totally recommend it to anyone who would love to watch something different and greatly executed.

Xiang Liu's love for Xiao Yao is personal, it comes after his sense of duty, loyalty to the army and gratitude for his adopted father, therefore he did not hesitate to kill her brother , nor did he hesitate to safe Tushan Jing when he was flowing unconscious in the ocean, because between the two of them, TSJ is the only who can spend the rest of his life with Xiao Yao. He chose not to let Xiao Yao know how much he did for her because it would only cuase her pain. He said so himself that the best ending for a general is to die in the battlefield. TSJ loves Ziao Yao with all his might and beyond, he was holding her tight in his arms with fire all round them to keep her from getting burnt, then he chose death thinking she died. He went thru endless pain to try to recuperate his memory lost, he got sick, he didn't say a word, he hired Fangfeng Bei to stop Ziao Yao from marrying Chishui Feng Long only because he saw Ziao Yao was going into a loveless marriage. He treasures her every word and does everything she wants, she is the reason of his existance. He is a kind soul. I definitely think both men love Ziao Yao, but for the kind of life that Ziao Yao wants to share with the person can only be TSJ and Xiang Liu knew all along.

If this drama weren't divided into 2 parts but aired all in one go, I would not have complained about season 2 lacking in pacing or content as I did after having watched the first 10 episodes or so of season 2. As it is, I finished watching the last 5 episodes of season 2 in one session earlier today , and I turned off the streaming feeling loss and sad because the drama has finished but also with appreciation and love for how the project has kept the essence of a great story despite changes and semplifications. The Important, meaningful dialogues in the book remain intact in the drama and the cast delivered them with mastery and great performance. It is a shame that the drama is aired in 2 parts with a gap of a year in between, the story and the cast deserve better.

being member (VIP) is not enough, all vips have to pay extra for the "express package" , the package contains all remaining episodes.

Right, it is written in Chinese in the new calendar posted in the photo section: 22 July 6pm (local time).

I see that , the nomination was for season one of lost you forever, not season 2. I love season one and she deserves the nomination. Season 2, no.

you reckon? I saw two names as screenplay writers while Tong Hua is is the author. in any case, the adaption in season 2 is disappointing.

Just watched the clip posted on Twitter that shows Cang Xuan asking Xin Yue (the queen) if she arranged to have Tushan Jing assassinated, she replied saying yes. So the leaked narrative of Cang Zuan was in an induced hullucination by his grandfather the King of Xiyan is real, he isn't the one who arranged to eliminate Tushan Jing in the drama after all. This is the game changer of the story we know of in the book, the book said he was the one who arranged for the assassination together with Tushan Hou (brother), and it is plausible, much more so than Xin Yue killing Tushan Jing as rewritten in the screenplay by the two screenplay writers, wonder what the book author said to them whe she found out. I can understand the production wanted to safe time and money needed to shoot the various attempts of assassination by Xin Yue of XY as described in the book , and for this same reason they made such a poor shooting of the scene of the fight between Tushan Jing and his brother on the cliff, and turning Fangfeng Yi Ying into a superwoman eliminating the entire assassination team sent by the queen just in words. All in all, season 2 does not do season 1 justice, why on earth the production made such a poor production and commercial choice in the latter part of the drama? I have heard many commercials dropped out in the course of season 2, and complaints of the current storyline from viewers are many, I myself am disappointed with season 2, it evokes no excitment in me but a sense of disatisfaction and feeling sorry for the cast who delivered such great performance.

I would even say they should air the remaining episodes in one session and get it over with, there is really no point to drag on , season 2 has less episodes and it is far less engaging as in season 1, the pacing is off, really there is so little going on in season 2.

Even better.
