According to other sources, due to recent feud between China and South Korea, apparently the Chinese govt. banned shows/movies that stars Korean actors/actresses.

Very true! And they added some characters that never existed in the original story. I agree about Wei Young.. in the novel, no one dared to lay their hands on her so I was very shocked when they began to hit her in the drama! And the fact she quietly took their hits without retaliating!? Her revenge in the novel was much more cruel and satisfying by tenfold..

It's far different from the novel, they made a lot of changes and added characters that didn't exist in the original story. I still found it enjoyable but doesn't compare to the epic novel!

okay but the way he looks and steals glances at her, I MELT.

Okay real story but I actually stole that line from the show and used it on a male acquaintance of mine as a joke and we managed to hit it right off the bat LOL. Not necessarily effective but it was an adequate ice breaker lololol

Please let me know when there are happier times ahead.. I don't remember the original novel being this dramatically sad and angsty..

Jessica deserves a better display picture than that, just saying LOL. the current one does not do her any justice at all!!

Ending of ep33 was frustrating enough, I don't think I can handle the consequences in ep34 and the aftermath of ep35.. I'm going to take a step back from this series until this arc blows over omg. My heart is not ready for the intense drama ahead..

This drama has its inevitable flaws (eg. makeup, minor loopholes, rushed, etc.) but I can overlook it since it's uncommon/rare to see an empowering, intelligent, quick-witted female main character! So far it's been fairly fast-paced (which is a good thing) but sometimes it's too rushed; scenes could've been executed better and in general, there's potential to grow a bigger impact. It's a bit disappointing that this adaption doesn't follow the original novel accurately. They've made a lot of major changes; too many to count! From what I remember, the original novel depicted Wei Yang as a far more badass, intelligent and savage character, Prince Nan-An did not exist, the whole Northern Liang setup did not exist either and many more. It's not a bad thing, but the original story (despite being almost 300 chapter long) was truly spectacular from beginning to end. This drama adaption has been enjoyable so far!

I saw it! So freaking pleased LOL. I'm up to episode 27 now, things are getting more intenseeeeeee. And Chang Le needs to die asap, that would be a cherry on top~

Frustrates me how one of Wei Young's maid always betrays her time and time after again even though she always risks her life to protect her subordinates.. Ungrateful.. but nonetheless a very good drama! Addictive!

Eun Woo's visuals.. breathtaking to say the least! The story is simple and cute, fairly enjoyable, nothing too complex~

Bok Joo's crush on Jae Yi is so refreshingly innocent ahaha. Dislike how Shi Ho is becoming problematic but I guess she has her own difficulties and circumstances. I hope a stronger love line forms between Bok Koo and Joon Hyung (oh my god his visuals is off the charts in this drama!!) even though I also really like Jae Yi~

Oh no, she used her friend's silly pick up line LOL the secondhand embarrassment gaaaah, but her character is so lovable and innocent! I can already smell the bitterness of Joonhyung's ex..

Noodle arms ffs LOOOL

All the actors are portraying their characters well - I was quite doubtful of Sung Kyung's ability but she's fairly convincing in her role, enough to do the trick! It's oozing with light-hearted comedy and I'm intrigued how the romance will pan out. In general I quite enjoyed the first ep; nothing too major because it's just starting off with introducing characters, their personalities, setting the scene, etc. Nam Joo Hyuk looks better than ever!! The only flaw I would point out is the stereotypical ugly tension between the weightlifters vs feminine bitchy gymnasts. Kind of makes me want to skip a few seconds to avoid the secondhand embarrassment haha.

Most likely a love-square.

they're definitely fake ahaha. Her acting is fairly convincing though! The actress is very slender (and tall) in real life, nothing like how her character is portrayed in the show. The extra layers of clothing definitely buffed her up and I suspect they must've added cushions to give the impression of a toned butt/thighs~

from the preview for ep2, it looks like Bok Joo may potentially develop a slight crush/admiration for Jae Yoon's character~
