Neither. This is a straight up drama which deals more with palace intrigue rather than epic battles or lighthearted comedy.

Yes, if you like palace intrigue. It has a very slow burn plot and there is a lot to keep track of, but it's very interesting.

She is so cute! I have loved her since I Hear You. I have also seen her in The Long Ballad, Please Feel at Ease, Mr Ling, and Love Like the Galaxy.

My heart goes out to the Chinese people. :(

Oh no! I am on ep. 29 and now I am worrying I am going to be disappointed.

How unfortunate. Talk about stifling the artistic process.

Same. The toxic relationship was seriously disappointing me, but I cried like a baby last episode.

What??? Why is the length of a drama have to be regulated by the government? I am sure they have more important things to give their attention to? -__-

Thank you for this. I always wondered why voice dubbing was so appealing in C-dramas. As an actor, we are taught that our voices are part of our instrument and must be cultivated for any part we have to portray. I thought it unfortunate that this was being taken away from the actors here, as it took away the opportunity to complete the character. It does make a strong case, however, that dubbing fits to alleviate issues with slang and a character's personality. A great example was Ye Hua's voice TLTWTMPB. It was deep and resonant--perfect for the character. Yet, when I heard Mark Chao's true voice in the BTS, his was a youthful, tenor sound, and not suitable for Ye Hua. I do maintain , however, that it is important for actors to be given the opportunity to voice their characters in his/her true voice. It's part of the craft of acting and brings the character to life. This is why I am glad Luo Yunxi does his own dubbing. He has a distinct tenor that I find appealing, and I recognize the sound of his voice as much as his face.

Where are you watching? Viki is only on episode 29 subtitled and it's killing me! I know they are working hard, but you're much further ahead.

"Ye Xiwu...Ye Xiwuuuu......" :D

Can anyone explain to this white chick the difference between Wuxia and Xianxia romance?

You make a good point. She is contributing to his falling into evil by doing things behind his back. Ditto, she can't read the room. She needs a few knocks upside the head.

I saw AOL way back when. That's why I love LYX so much! lol!

Glad to know it’s coming to Netflix. I’m watching on Viki , but subtitles are more polished on Netflix.

Well, I’m caught up. Now what to do with myself for the next two days.

Two more episodes to go! Yay!!!

I am watching this drama right now and, boy, has it got a lot going on. It's hard to keep track of everything. I love Yang Mi and her leading man is dreamy.

Too cute!
