Nice! Thanks for the recommendations, will check those out!

Oh wow it is him haha.

Not bad so far. Don't tell me that K is Soo Yeol other personality at the end. Something like The Witch Doctor. Lol.

I don't mind twists and surprises, but if they take someone hostage and then the ML has to go find them again or if it keep going around in circles, Ima riot!! D:

For 500+ years, even Eul Tae has followers and is rich, what the hell was Dan Hwal playing at? Doesn't make sense to me. He was a general once for crying out loud. Sorry just alot of misgiving regarding how the character was written, he's a useless bum with immortality.

Yknow what, a good twist would be Eul Tae, Shi Ho and Sang Un shake hands, go grab a drink while Dan Hwal sulk in the corner. I'd watch that.

For real, when I first saw her in here I was like you're so pretty, how?? Nara has a pair of huge eyes too haha.

I just hope that my theory is dumb and the writers has better twists. Because if it's something like this... ah.. they could of just condense the drama. Save time and cost.

Why does kdrama writers likes to go round and round in circles. Alot has happened, but nothing has happened. Alot of push and pull, just so it could fit 16 episodes. It should be written for 12. IMO.

First time seeing Goon Seung Yeon, she is crazy beautiful? I'd loved to see her again in a costume period drama, I think she'll shine. I think Nara improved her acting. Lee Joon stole the show for me honestly, I like his character. He has much more emotions than Lee Jin Wook's character, or even Lee Jin Wook himself. I saw him in Sweet Home and also in this one, his facial expression is always the same.

For the twist that the cast mentioned, don't tell me that Dan Hwal was the big bad bully this whole time. Or that the Female Bulgasal's reincarnated as Shi Ho's, and his Wife's reincarnated as Sang Un, same face different soul. So in order to relieved his immortality, he has to kill his 'wife' aka Shi Ho. Because this plot been done to rot. Sang Un doesn't have the scar, then Shi Ho probably has it.

Episode 11 foreshadowing Sang Un ran away after holding hands with Shi Ho, probably seeing her past self. The past self she saw might actually not be hers, but Shi Ho's instead. And they'll probably reveal this in later episode just for the 'twist'.

This is a solid perspective of how a new comer watching the drama should be. I liked the drama since I am a fan of ZRY and Hu Jun. Thus, I am already a little bias towards it. However, I still agree to what you said. The drama's a bit different. The drama make sense to the writer and director because the got the whole script, but audiences got it parts, so there's plenty of questions to account for.

As for the harem, if they follow the novel at all, you'll probably won't be seeing anything until the final season. It's like 5% romance, 10% flirting and the rest are just politics, schemes, martial arts.

Huang Longshi. He has no affiliation, he's his own person.

Listening Snow Tower, Longest Day In Chang'an. Under The Power is also a fun one.

Since you already watched JOL, skip NIF, because if you watch NIF, you will not want to watch anything else for a while. It's so good that it makes everything else subpar. Of course if you're not into political, then skip it all together lol. But the story is very well written. I was very skeptical of it when it came out, since everyone was recommending it. Ended up watching it twice in different years, lol. I hadn't seen a good one in a while, besides JOL.

The novel does have the ice age. But the way they did it was that he died of medical issue in the hospital with no surviving relatives (present time), then got reincarnated INTO the future. So the ice age moment did passed in the human world and the current world is starting from zero, like how our ancestors did it. The temple that is so forbidden and blasphemy to speak about, holds the answers.

Very true, and since Han Dao is a palace man, if he was involved in the assassination it is good as telling Xu Xiao that the Emperor wants your wife dead.

You don't want Xu Xiao standing next to your bed while you're sleeping D:

I watched both drama twice, can't pick the favorite. NIF is for the serious, sentimental and life of Lin Shu. While JOL is the comedic, playful politics life of Fan Xian.

Lin Shu is that kid in college who wants to study, Fan Xian is that kid who doesn't study but copies Lin Shu work in finals.

I have to put The Longest Day In Chang'an as my third pick. Zhang Xiao Jing is like that one elder brother who got held back by a grade. LOL.

Haha, that sounded awesome! Im sure alot are having 'copium' right now after the drama is over.

Ahh, if you're new I suggest you close MDL until you have watched the whole series, otherwise there are alot of spoilers to read and might affect your mood, most of them are probably from me D:

That's why Feng Nian beat him up every time he sees him. A well deserves beating too!

He has some skills right now, but for whatever reason all the fights we saw him in is either him standing there, or just using a swing or 2. Which IMO downplayed how awesome he would of seen.

No, that part is the same. But some stuff in ep 37 and all of 38 are combined, creatively made up to go with the drama flow.

The last episode is very interesting. I knew the writer was going to combine some stuff or add in things so the drama will make sense with some events in the novel, but I never expected that this would happened. I guess because it's the finale and so he wanted to go out with a bang lol. Not bad.

Which also mean S2 and onwards will not exactly follow the novel. So it'll might just be it's own standalone drama with elements of the novel.

Can't believe you read the whole thing Q_Q, props to you. It's the only reason why his finger swords technique are so strong, he practiced it every chance he get. :D
