As much as I love SWL, like you say here, I do too find he has his good and not so good moments in this drama. There are instances he really conveys those look and feelings to the audience, but in others, I'm also rather confused by his body language. ZXC does express himself well. When we look at the BTS, there's really a stark difference between these two actors - SWL is quiet and expressionless, whereas ZXC is curious and playful and does all kinds of stuff. Therefore, I believe as it is, maybe SWL is pretty limited to certain roles in certain dramas, and ZXC has a wider character choice.

You've laid out your points so well, and that's exactly how I've felt about Chen Ting's and the others' conclusion too - too easy, just brush everything under the carpet and all-is-well kind of conclusion.

After her 2nd attempted suicide, somehow, Ling Xiao is completely healed from his previous shadow. Yes, like you, I do feel that there are really a few loose ends they haven't completely tightened up. Since the whole drama overall has brought a lot of tears and joy for me in the process, I decide not to penalize them on the loose ends here.

The center of the water melon is the best part of the water melon and is JJ's favorite. She always digs in from the center. She gives her favorite bite to Ling Xiao. Maybe the writers are trying to show she values him and wants the best for him, and he rejects it, out of guilt?

Ling Xiao

Definitely a love triangle. Sad!

I think many people are also trying to catch up with Maiden Holmes and others since we all were binge-watching L&R. They'll come eventually :)

Many still tries to hold on to the Sifeng image I guess. They fear the uncle image destroys everything. I just watched the 1st episode, Cheng Yi looks great here. The character is more active than passive as in L&R. He's badass and I like that. I just hope he doesn't vomit as much blood as he did :D

Hahaha!...................dream on ..............................

dào!

9 more episodes of heart break and pain, and one episode with SF decapitated? You're brave!

Do you mean thank you because we can binge for the next 72 hours? XD XD XD

I have just watched the first episode. It's good. If you're into palace politics, inter-kingdom conflicts, espionage etc, you'd like it. Cheng Yi's character here is good, very smart and badass. Whether it's a tragic/sad ending or not should not be used as a standard to judge this drama.

Good questions. That's why we want to watch to find out even though the answers may not be fathomable :D

61 episodes? Not again! I hope this doesn't make us chase like L&R.

Yes, I concur. Inequality is still happening everywhere in the world, including in the most advanced countries.

I love her in The Legends, but somehow I can't click with her here.

Sounds distressful :(

.... even heavenly father needs to be a casanova ..... men, sigh!

Sounds very interesting! Thanks so much!

Oh no! Really? He becomes an uncle? Shoot! Now, I'm scared. I've just written a review for L&R and his image fills my mind while I was writing it. Now this? No, no, no. I'm not ready to let go of that heart-wrenchingly adorable Sifeng yet.
