I actually like the Bai Youning character. She adds colors to the two 'boys'. Xiao Yan is such a talented actress.

It's on Youtube and it looks good!

Yes, I had an issue with Ye Hua too when he failed Su Su and what he did to her. His only redemption was, he had remorse, and tried hard to make it up. That works for me. :)

Do continue, but best if you can watch with a buddy for mental support. :)

Hello, hello beautiful, hope you're sheltering well in place. I've been watching a ton of dramas so that I could tune out from the crazy news out there. Here are some of my favorites (mostly all Chinese historical):
1. Love of Thousand Years (on-going)
2. Wu Xin 3 (on-going)
3. The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty (on-going)
4. Miss Truth (just finished)
plus a few more

Stay safe!

They measured his face, actually it's not long, just normal, but the face is thin, so gives the illusion of being long. He's actually a very good looking man. Maybe historical hairstyle (with all the hair pinned back) doesn't suit him so well. The story itself is pretty interesting with various different male leads.

Yes, worth it. Just have to be a bit patient.

... and mine too .... :(

I love the female lead character - strong, upstanding and kind. You'd fall for her.

I know. For me, it's been more than 1 year since it aired, and I still can't forget how I had felt while watching and after watching this drama. It's a wonderful drama that can capture our emotions like this. BTW, love your blog/review. Keep up the good work!

It's a wonderful drama - good acting, good story, good production, good OSTs. But it can haunt you for awhile after you finish watching. It did for me. The only way to move on is to find another good drama like The Untamed (which saved me) but I see you've already watched it. Also try to watch the uncut version. It explains better for the whole thing that shapes the characters. Enjoy!

Their bromance (kind of) is cute XD.

For new viewers who have never watched a xianxia (Chinese fantasy) story before, maybe you first want to familiarize yourself with some terms and concepts before you start watching this drama. Here's a good place to go for great reading:

Enjoy!

That's the feelings I get too - flirting around. I've always felt they're like love-at-first-sight though both don't know it at the time. They definitely have feelings for each other when they first meet at the entrance, or else LZ wouldn't have waited for WY to return at that hour (LZ should have been in bed by then normally). WY likes to use his womanizing face to show he's a straight. LZ uses his strict teaching to show it's impossible for him (to fall for another man). Despite some viewers say LZ doesn't like WY initially, I feel LZ likes WY a lot but uses anger to cover himself, even the older Lan brother says so cryptically (that LZ likes WY). Yeah, it's love-at-first-sight. :D

You're right! I'm rather enjoying this one. With the shelter-in-place order, I've been indulging in watching dramas all day and tuning out from all the upsetting news, especially from you-know-who :D

Thanks for the elaborate explanation. You've convinced me. I'm starting this series now. Thanks again :)

I'm more or less used to how they look with their hair pinned back like that. But I can't get over how Ren Jialun looks with his small face and super large wig, making his head look very weird. He looks a lot better in this series though. :D

How's this series? Worth watching?

Yeah, the chasing game, jokes etc - all pretty Jackie Chan. I'm not a big fan of Jackie either - only occasional watching with the family. For me, family time is more important, not the shows :)

The author Mò xiāng tóngchòu is such an amazing writer. Her stories can be so funny and humorous and yet she can bring out our tears easily. Kudos to that!
