Lmao, Ep 21; Dad and Mom arguing in the army while the Son watches. hahahaha. General Hang on the side be like o_o .. O_O... o_o.

Oh noo...this sounds so similar to Dance of the Sky Empire. I think that drama had 60 episodes, but they cut it down to 28. So the transition from one scene to another is very disjointed and does not make sense. So I'm guessing for this drama they also already filmed 70 episodes and now they have to cut down about halve that size and try to make a story out of it...

Ah yes, thanks for the reminder. I saw the trailer a while back on her future projects. It looks promising, the fight sequences and choreography seems legit as well. (:

Wow. Zhao Lusi can act really well. However I hope that they can give her different roles in the future, I wanted to see her range. Not type-casting into silly roles every time. Wasting her potential.

The way she cry was so natural, it's impressive.

Because it's from Mango TV >.>. They seems to be only rely on Google Translate or using translators with very minimal understanding of the language. There was an episode earlier where the General was like 'Prince, if you like blow job so much, continue to blow'.

:D.

IMO, I really liked this drama. It is not all about poetry, although that is one of its focuses. As they do not drown you with it on every episodes. The FL lead is really timid, naive and innocent, but you do see her character change and develop into someone more confident by those that are around her. So don't get frustrated when you watch (:. Let character development do its job. Interactions are cute between the leads. Even 2nd leads are funny, too.

Although to fully experience the poetry, the dialogue and drama, I suggest you pick a translation group that does not rely on Google translate. Vikii, MZTV or KUKAN is my go-to.

I strongly recommend watching. Who knows, you might wait on this like Maiden Holmes :D.

He seems new to the industry, not many roles under his belt. Maybe he'll improve in the future (:

Little Su's prettyyy when she dresses up!

Our Little Monkey went from crying to whoopin' the guard's @ss! Although she can't pass as a male when cross dressing, but I appreciate the small effort she made to deepen her voice. Hahah.

I like the life lesson in episode 17. Just because of your birth circumstances or how poor you are, it doesn't necessary reflect on your personal growth or as a person. Everyone should have the privileged and freedom to learn. Bless Dr. Xuan's heart for being a great teacher.

In these tried times, I am privileged enough to be sittin' my butt at home in comfort watching a drama. Big thank you to all the teachers out there, essential workers, medical staffs, cleaning lady, delivery man and many more, for contributing and helping us!

Talk about character development! Saw in ending credits she was donning armor, seems like she about to whoop some @ss. >:D.

Young Blood has a really strong FL throughout the series without losing her character, if you're interested and hadn't seen it!

My thought exactly! I was like, Seo Hyun Jin is now in the Chinese market? Lol.

Ahh, My Unicorn Girl. I am also watching that after I realized she starred in it. I guess cross dressing is her type. Haha.

The ML diagnostic in My Unicorn Girl reminds me of the ML in The Beauty Inside (Korean2018), he has the same issue with facial recognition. Both dramas have completely different plot, just thought its fun to point out the same illness both leads has. I guess ML in her next drama better take good care of his eyes. :D.

AHhhhhhh I regret watching this! Now I have to wait on next episodes like everyone else D:.

Female lead is super adorable, nemesis turns into best of friends. An enjoyable watch. (:

Did not expect to enjoy the drama as much as I did. It was entertaining. Although IMO, it should ended at episode 32.

Really praising Zhou Yu Tong and her character Zhao Jian. When the tag mentioned Strong Female Lead, she is DEFINITELY a strong female lead. Often I see those type of tags and then watching a drama, to only find out that the FL is only 'strong' for about 5-6 episodes and then her personality gets generic. But Zhao Jian is completely independent, has her own ambitions and thoughts, know what she want and how to achieve it.

If they make a season 2 (after that open ended finale), I hope they recast everyone. Their chemistry was really nice together, especially those banters you do around close friends.

Even with make-up on, you can't hide true emotions. Her ears were beets red when she lay on top of him drunk. Lol. Poor girl, must've been an embarrassing scene.

Also found this happens alot in other dramas too. hahah.

Thank you for the FF button.

It seems like the Leads of this drama specifically stated 'No Kissing' in their contract or their company does not allow kissing, because that's exactly what happened! I heard this was an adaption from a novel, that's unfortunate. I thought the leads had what it takes if the script were written better, but they gave the performance based on what was given, it's a pity.

You should not watch this if you're not a fan of the tagged categories. Even if you are, might want to reconsider...:D

True. I mean the way they filmed it does made it seems like he figured out at that time - that 'He' was' She', because the ML turns his head away. I mean if both are dudes and you see another naked dude, you don't need to abruptly turns your head away like that. Lol

If you like a more detective-work and not so much on romance, then Under The Power would be a good watch. If you like more romance side than detective, then this would be a good watch. :D

IMO the writing could use a little tweak/polish to make some scenes believable. Otherwise, not a bad series (:.

Also, does anyone know who sang the beginning/ending OSTs? Please and Thank Youuuu!

Didn't he have an illness where his eyes cannot see that well at night? (due to the war) I thought they had outline that in earlier episode?

He only saw the back, which in this case, any one @ss would look the same. Lol. Finding out the FL is a girl in 4 episodes is pretty fast, comparing to others.

I tried watching Legend of Fuyao, but it didn't click with me, so I stop lol. Although I watched Listening Snow Tower, people said it's similar to Fuyao. I liked it, very Wuxia-kind. Tree with Deep Roots is a favorite of mine, good action + slight comedy.

I tend to avoid Chinese romance-focus drama, because it is always freaking 40+ episodes! (Unless if my actors/actresses are in it, else I'll skip it hahah). If I want romance focused, I'd rather watch Korean ones, since most of them are under 24 episodes. Else I'm the same as you, wuxia and xianxia, if there's romance in it, it is not all bad. :D

If you hadn't already, here some of my favorites in recent year (Koreans):
Search WWW, great acting, great story. Very strong female leads!
Prison Playbook, a black/dark comedy genre.
Hospital Playlist (my top 5 :D), friendship, medical, extremelyyyyyy great cast and acting.
Stranger, crime/investigation. Season2 just came out!

Nice! Zhao Lusi in Love of Thousand Years is another great upcoming actress. I look forward on her production.

I really liked Rise of the Phoenixes. I thought Kun Chen and Ni Ni had great chemistry. Im kind of sad that Ni Ni isn't in many historical production, she's super gorgeous and talented. One reason why I watch Love and Destiny, even though it is very similar to Ten Miles Peach. Lol.

Seems like you are more towards romance-centric, I like a bit more actiony-type. In recent year, Joy of Life and The Longest Day in Chang'an are my personal favorite.
