I love that with the names of the characters appearing. Save the effort trying to figure out who is who because some of them look really alike with the facial hair and same clothing; their names are not easy to memorize too with my goldfish brain :)

I don't understand how the MDL's rating algorithm works, but more than 70% of the viewers rate this drama above 9.0, so something is wrong here with the rating.

That's why I love these comment pages; you get snippets like these making a dry drama interesting XD. I know, I know I'm gossipy XD

How's the Legend of Fei so far?

Hahaha, welcome to the bandwagon of the "complaint" of little boy in old man's body and voice. Yes, that's the only blemish I find in this drama. When he's grown to the age that fits the body, everything is awesome (actually apart from the misfit, everything is great from the beginning). You'll enjoy this drama tremendously I know, just as I have :)

Yes, there are simply so many inconsistencies and contradictions. Many readers don't even realize the writers' motives and philosophies which may be totally opposing to Ying Zheng's, hence disparage his actions and lead to the distortion of history we see in Sima Qian's Shi Ji. The non-Chinese may be more objective in this sense but, again, their information relies on other writers.

BTW, I love your review on Qin Empire 2. Bravo!

It is so true that written by non-Chinese enables us getting a different perspective, and I truly love the writings of all these sinologists. But to me, there are still certain innate elements that cannot be explained totally when one is not the race himself/herself. I just sigh that there's such a lack of Chinese writers who can be as objective as the non-Chinese in their writings of the Chinese history.

It's really hard to define what it means by a sad or happy ending, that's why you can't find your definite answer.

SPOILER:
This is the ending - The last scene shows Ma Zhaixing gravely wounded laying in Bo Wang's arms. He cried. That's it.

The later narratives say Bo Wang brings her back to the mountains and none to be seen ever again (not shown).

Here are the interpretations by some viewers:

- Bo Wang has supernatural power and heals Ma Zhaixing and they live happily ever after.

- Bo Wang brings Ma Zhaixing's body back to the mountains, and dies himself 6 months later.

- My interpretation: Bo Wang brings Ma Zhaixing's body back to his cave on the mountains, lays beside her, and dies together.

I love my own interpretation because I feel it is romantic and beautiful to have died together. The first interpretation to me is implausible because it doesn't really go with the storyline (maybe for the novel or anime, IDK). The second interpretation is painful for me by thinking he lives all alone mourning for her death for 6 months before he dies himself.

So here you go. Choose your own ending :D

Same!

He has a lot of them :D

Agree!

It's really ironic that all these books are written by non-Chinese.

Huh romance? I wish he did. No, hardly any romance. We have almost 30 episodes to see what greatness he has brought to China, his legacy. Hang in there.

This drama is really an eye opening. The Qins were way ahead of any nations in the world by more than 2,000 years. Imagine that!

I also find the Kendo uniform very similar to the Qin men's dark long skirts.

Here we go - starting episode 47, we're going to see some great things Ying Zheng is going to bring the world.

OMG! Hahahahahahaha! I need to catch my breath.

No, I haven't started this yet, have been too engrossed in another drama Qin Dynasty Epic. I'm just checking this (Legend of Fei) out. May start this weekend if I like it. But some not so flattery comments from some discerning viewers. They give very good unbiased comments. Will be following what they say in the next few days :)

Yo, you've started this without me? XD Happy watching!

It is indeed very sad what people value these days. In China especially, like most countries in the world, almost everything is about money (though there are exceptions). In the criteria in everything people choose, money is always the main one. Social media makes everything worse.

Yes, indeed you talk like a mummy XD (it's a compliment). Have fun!
