Hey! I thought you were gone! Picking this up again?

But that isn't much of a fight; she just thrusts her sword and everyone dies.

Hahaha! Given our time difference, I dare not ask too much. As long as you come back to this page and chat, I'm happy :)

Cliche....., tropey.....

.... even the dying ones ... Sigh!

There, I'll let you hold my hand, and a shoulder to hide if you need it XD

I freaked out with the little boy ghost. He's so scary and he's unbeatable - that's the frightening part.

Yeah, I'm like you, cry easily for even the most trivial matters. Get many eye rolls for my uncontrollable emotions :)

I have re-watched this series multiple times but always stopped at the massacre scene and couldn't move on. It's so unbearable.

IKR? This series has haunted me for months. Until today, I still listen to the OSTs - one of the best.

You've summarized it up so well here.

You're lucky to have watched the director's cut version instead of the other which was aired. I watched this series while it was airing and I just couldn't empathize with Li Chengyin at that time, like so many other viewers. I wish they had released this version instead.

Yes, the ending is so appropriate and moving. A great watch!

I'm up to Episode 18. Haven't seen any serious love triangles yet, though someone does have a crush on the FL and is still very protective of her.

I love this drama for similar reasons as yours - no air head girls chasing after men after conveniently fallen into their laps.

Admittedly there are some plot holes here and there, and in later episodes you'd come across. Comparatively, this is still a better watch than what is out there at the moment :)

I don't get you. Please elaborate.

Huh? You cried? For me, it scared the shit out of me in the first few episodes. I'm such a scaredy-cat. Despite some plot holes here and there, this is indeed a wonderful drama. I love it :)

Yayaya, Gu Long's Chu Liuxiang, flamboyant and flirtatious. I can visualize Leo in the character.

It was the white robe and the fan that attracted me in the first place. I don't even remember who all these characters (Ouyang Feng etc) are anymore, but Tou's initial appearance did conjure up images of some of my favorite characters. The Tou character development is such a mess that I didn't enjoy his character very much by the middle of the drama.

.... and a psycho ..

Luo Yunxi's injury, yes, that's why I've never got my epic scene - the couple combating hand in hand.

I'm a cry baby too, but I find they (the director etc) have reduced the sadness for me when they injected too many of the repeated dialogues which dampened the pain. It makes the viewers want to fast forward hence not experiencing the effect. Though I didn't fast forward for any of the scenes, I just kept saying, come on, let's move it, or even urging the about-to-die to be dead.

Hahaha! I can't imagine in future dying scenes, my mind conjures up all the Italian opera scenes and start laughing. People think I were mad. XD
