This drama has haunted me .. chased me to hell and back .. IN ONE sleepless binge .. TWICE OVER .. Yeah to GET all the story plot and relish the acting I watched it TWICE .. 60 eps and then came to this.
GUTTED BUT filled to the brim .. the TRAGIC BEAUTY of this production leaves me empty and yet full
How do you think Wenxi died? I read that she probably commited suicide after giving birth but I find it difficult…
the two cranes flying freely in the end scene - that was symbolic .. they have both shed their earthly bonds and are free ..
She did say that were the CP to leave this world .. she would follow him. Which I think she did .. just slipped away .. with no will to live .. Cranes mate for life - I think? And if one dies the other one doesnt live long
It's sad that there is no kisses in this drama. In two occasions just a peck would have been perfect. Doesn't…
Of course he does!!!
You'll squee in DELIGHT .. Watch Royal Nirvana .. It comes late .. but it comes like a tsunami. He's GOOD. Even in THE WAY WE WERE. Phew!! He is SOOOOOOO HOTTTTT
I suspect that this drama was shot right after LUO JIN was married and had a baby. NO ON SCREEN KISSES or deep intimacy was in the contract.
This was way, WAY too long and there were a few very aggravating secondary characters/subplots, but I liked the…
AGREE 100%
It was TOTALLY confusing and annoying!!
The scripting got on my nerves SO OFTEN even though I loved the fresh way the drama is treated. SUPER MATURE handling of the ROLES.
The other thing IMO which screwed up the delish drama otherwise is the 'seasoning' I mean HELLLOOOOO could OTP have had any less chemistry to show on screen!!?? WHAT A WASTE of TWO TOP NOTCH actors NOT able to get comfy with each other to give some on screen "squees" and a REALISTIC 'mad about each other' sexual attraction vibe.
This would be a 10/10 for me Drama had it made up for the length in eps with SIZZLING on screen chemistry ..
ROFLI had cortisol screaming through my veins all of 60 eps
I am on a re-watch now. Ep 6🥰
Its effing addictive!!!
You notice and understand so much more. Since after first watch you know ALL characters theirs double triple names and things that left you fuddled are getting un-kinked..
I am heavily using Google translate App to read all the un-translated writing / papers / memorials / plaques on the doors of palaces.
The audio translations of blank sections (there's plenty of those - so annoying) aren't working though.

EPIC is a mild word for this Drama.
BUT yes it's not for everyone .. you'll be gutted BUT also LIFTED at the end .. sometimes REAL LIFE is LIKE this!!

The entire SANITIZED (washed off sexual vibes and skinship) FEEL of the entire drama ROBBED it of it full on glory I feel

UGH!!
Just made FL come across as a WIMP !!
Even The Tale of Rose dealt with the WITCH mom better in the script.
Dropped it after midway.
Couldn’t get behind it after a while
Came here for Luo Jin after doing 2 full rewatches of Royal Nirvana.
Plus also have enjoyed Tiffany Tang in other dramas.
EPISODE 1 and 2 : hooked HOOKED.. Like REALLY hooked.
Love love love the characters and set up till now.
Who will do what?
And what hurdles will be put in their path.
Yummy!!!
If this goes to "angst central"...
Imma getting business class tix.
So glad I didn't let low ratings stop me.
Looks like it will be so realistic!!
A break from the usual..
I've paused screen so often just to absorb and slow down to process the plot.
But yummy
And hey me too!!
I took the Youku sub just for this drama.
😂😂😂
Pardon my "French" but BLOODY HECK!!!!
Why did they skip some of the MOST tense moment dialogues!!
I want VIKI to take this drama.
They pack in translation for everything that pops on the screen.
Even the OST songs at times 😂😂
If you are a nerd like me when faced with a challenging drama that totally grips you you'll love the few podcasts - link above
