OMG! The thought of it makes me nervous....

Yeah, it's frustrating when good people lose. Things seem unfair, but quite true in the real world too.

I didn't expect I like this drama so much!

IKR! The boys are hilarious. So adorable in those costumes XD

The evil parts are the greatest parts, don't skip! You're missing so much :D

This is so true. Translating this drama is not easy because it uses a lot of old words and sentences. Many of those channels rely on volunteers. Such volunteers are normally bilingual kids and using google translate or auto translate can butcher the actual sentences and meaning of the story.

One thing greatly lacking in today's world is critical thinking. People tend to think alike. When there's a group, they'd attack like a pack of wolves. Such herd mentality is scary, and it also explains today's chaos. People are easily manipulated by their churches or their governments. I hope users of MDL are different and be more tolerant of each other's opinions.

Exactly! We all have different criteria in judging anything. We shouldn't say things like, "If you're critical, it means you don't like it, then get off." Trading views with each other helps us become discerning viewers because we'll know what to look for in future dramas. One of the benefits of MDL is for precisely that.

All these ratings are so arbitrary. People shouldn't be upset over over-rating or underrating.

Now at 6.1 on Douban, lower than Love a Lifetime at 6.9 :O

Do watch The Song of Glory. The chat is furious. I'm in it :D

Wonderful review! You've convinced me to watch.

I've just started another fluffy historical rom-com - Dance of the Sky Empire. It's pretty cute. So far, I like it because it's silly and light watching. Yeah, I like Xiao Zhan but no time to go back to watch old dramas because there are so many new ones being released. I like watching my dramas at the same time chatting with fellows viewers. Watching old dramas is too lonely :)

Wow! I know many of the young actors nowadays are multi-talented. They're really impressive because in the old days, the actors just have to win some beauty pageants and they could start their movie star life. But today actors, they're really talented.

Whether they are using body doubles, the actors and dancers are blended into one. Amazing dancing!

The dancing is so good. I'm sold.

Can't help but have to say it: the back of his head is like, er, duck butt XD

".... you dont notice they are acting." Hmm. That covers a great deal, including a block of wood. XD Don't be offended. Just messing with you. Yes, I get what you're saying: good acting should be acting naturally, one cannot tell the actors are pretending. I cannot say Zhang Hui Wen is doing it. Her facial expressions are blank, her body language is unnatural. She just doesn't give me the "into the story" feeling. Surely there are many fans disagree. Guess I just don't have the chemistry with her :D

I don't believe anyone would want to purposely give something a low rating just out of hatred. What hatred is there? If so, I believe these are simply trolls. People view everything very differently, including how we view flaws. To some, like me, no blood is not such a big deal (I noticed it and I just rolled my eyes - not enough to give it a bad rating). But it can be a big flaw for others because they are concerned with the minute details that make a good artwork. We cannot say they are harboring hatred. They're just being honest about it and we should appreciate this because we choose to overlook the details ourselves.

We all should exercise our own judgement. If we depend totally on others' comments to decide on a drama, we may miss out a lot. Furthermore, it's easy to see if a drama is good or not good by feeling the general consensus. In this case, the comments are overwhelmingly positive.
