This was a very good drama, great acting in general, direction and the soundtrack very pleasant to listen. It was interesting to see that China also struggles with crooks and con artists that have no qualms to resort to murder in order to fill their bank accounts. The only issue is that the story portrayed the Chinese police too lenient and mercyful towards those criminals, and that does not match their "fame". Not that I think they should have any mercy towards those criminals. However, a bit more realism would make the drama more palatable.
Nonethless, it's worth watching and enjoying the great acting.

Overall not bad. The series progressed well but the last episodes went overboard on the sillyness. The acting in general was OK and ML/FL played a good relationship. Not bad, but I cannot rate more than 7/10.

Royal Rumours is also very good. However, my comment was really about MWDL.

I guess that some of her crying is intentional to make ML faint. 😉

Great short series! Well-written story backed by good acting in general. Despite the short length, it was enjoyable and the actors, director and producers did a great job making the story a great watch. Some goofy stuff, such as the 7th prince's scar moving around his face added some fun to it.

This was one of the worst dramas despite having a great story concept. Acting was terrible and even acting arts students might do better. Xu Lu is probably trying to forget this tragedy. The "alien", despite over 3000 years old behaved like a 10 years old and that "ceo" was just a satire of a man. Only way to get to the end was fast forwarding and skipping multiple episodes at a time, to realize that I did not miss anything.

Is that so? So, what other series was this viciously attacked with users inciting others to lower the rating and posting utter nonsense against the actors?
How are the other series listed in the recommended list so much better?

Funny how all of you "who had the account for years" came out in droves lioe I haven't seen before for any drama. Even some pathetic ones that seemed made by interns who haven't graduated in arts school yet.
Nevermind. Keep doing your job.

Great series. Nice story, lots of twists, very beautiful cinematography, and the acting in general is good. The soundtrack is soothing and complements the story and scenes very well. It does not have a cliffhanger or suggests it, but I hope there's a second season continuing the story.

I'm sure that the streaming platforms know in advance. There's a lot to prepare on the back end, like file servers, web servers, which regions, promo stuff, etc.
Anyway, maybe they have some kind of agreement to also only make it public after a certain date.
I hope Viki will also start it at the same date as Tencent. It's a great series and waiting has been hard. :-)

I hope so. However, if it's coming in July, it should be already advertised. It's a big one, and highly expected.

Does anyone know if Viki will also stream season 2? I don't see anything there.

On a side note, its list of upcoming dramas has been very short lately. Any problems with the company?

Thanks a lot! Really appreciate it. It's so rare to see any articles about Chinese series lately on MDL.
On a side note, I see some series with episodes shorter than 10 minutes. Do these series really air or stream commercially or are they mostly for fans entertainment?

That's her role in this drama, and she played it quite well, as always. Ronron was also a bit stiff. Only Yaya was more spontaneous.

I think FL started liking ML before him started liking her. I believe what woke him up was when the emperor suggested marring FL to his brother. At that time he panicked and decided to go for it.
However, the "real couple" thing only happened more to the end when she got the task to manage the other countries' envoys. That's when he openly started getting closer and supporting her.
It's definitely worth the watch.

Thanks for helping me making my point.

It's not bad at all. Be careful of bots, which nowadays seem to be used everywhere to sway public opinion.

Just look at the dramas in the recommended list. If you agree with the rankings then I suggest you take a look. Don't forget it's a fantasy genre. Compare with other fantasy genres.

What's happening with this series raises my curiosity. There must be something going behind the stage to elicit the vicious defamation campaign where bots keep repeating nonsense trying very hard to bring its rank down. That's despicable.

Anyone having doubts about this drama just take a look at the recommended dramas' ranking in the list. They are all around 8.5 and there's the least this one should be also. Just ask yourself if you liked them or not and if your rank matches. Be very careful of bots and don't miss a good watch opportunity because of that.

Did Yang Mi do better stuff? Yes, Eternal Love and Legend of Fuyao are better. Did she do worse? Yes, In the Name of the Brother, in my personal opinion is worse. But that's my opinion.

Nice series with very funny moments that prompted good laughts. The two main leads were great and the overall acting also very good. The production was detailed and very good with a nice music score complementing it.
I read somewhere that the ML decided to stop acting? If true, it's a pity since he does some great roles.
