And I'll catch her at the bottom XD We need a sinister villain here and she's a great one XD

Thanks for the explanation. Yeah, in some conversation, Wu Xie did mention that Qiling is over 100 years old. He feels like a robot to me because he is physically beyond human. Also in some clips, he looks like a computer generated character - super good looking and does all the dangerous stunts and beautiful moves.

Yeah, same here. I don't like Sally Jing too. Dropped most of her dramas. Picked this up because I realized it's based on historical events.

Is Zhang Qiling a robot? He doesn't feel human. Sorry I ask because I've never watched the other series.

I'm like you, nothing to watch right now that's why I'm watching this, not my favorite genre.

I've never watched the other series and I'm able to follow this one.

No, it starts off pretty nail biting right from the beginning. Just that you may find fatty too chatty :D

" .... Damn Pang Zi is still hell damn noisy & ridiculous, he's such pain in the ass."
He's the one giving me all the angst. Really want to use some dead bodies to plug his mouth.

At first I thought those statues look European, but upon closer look, they're figurines with Chinese features. Weird though because I've never seen these in other Chinese palaces. Wonder if this is how it actually looks like in real life.

You guys are so brave! I'm freaking out with the dry corpses and old graves!

I know, it's such a torture :(

This drama is good, but the latest episodes become rather draggy. I love the 2 main leads' romance, but at the moment, everyone is just fooling around.

Yes, I love Wu Jia Yi's portrayal of Su You Lian. She is an amazing and beautiful actor. Su You Lian is naive as compared to the cunning human race, but she doesn't lose that dignity even when she's being bullied, and Wu Jia Yi brings this charisma out so well. Bravo!

After Rong Hua stabs Mo Huan, she dies with her. Nalan Yue takes out Mo Huan's mother caterpillar and implants it in himself so that Rong Hua is resurrected. From then on, Nalan Yue (now called Lin Jin again) is linked with Rong Hua. Whenever one hurts, the other hurts. The rest is unnecessary long talking. In a gist, it's happily every after, except for poor Lu Yizhou.

Yawn!
Nalan Yue doesn't mourn Rong Hua's death as heart brokenly as he does for Lu Yizhou. Can't understand why Lu Yizhou is not rescued by Bai shifu who is in the vicinity. Lu Yizhou's longest dialogue is just before his death. Yawn! Nalan Yue returns to his old self, rounder, hands on waist, chatty, silly, playful. He and Rong Hua live happily ever after.

A lot of long and unnecessary talking just to make up the episode.

Last episode:

and Zhang Hui Wen's best performance in this series is when she cries for her father.

The last 5 episodes are slightly better. Everyone can teleport ...

And don't forget also the shifu, princess consort's brother, a few of those aristocrat ministers, Lu Yuan's wing man, Wang Zi Jin's father ...

Here goes my favorite character :(
