Gosh the leads have AMAZING chemistry! Thank goodness they were able to convey the love they had for one another…
Let me continue your rant XD. Lan Zhan protects Wei Ying every time the latter gets attacked. Countless times, he puts himself in front of the swords, or unfriendly people. He has a cold face, but often, when Wei Ying says something he likes, you'll see the very little tilt at the corner of his lips.
Right now, I have a tough time accepting Xiao Zhan, our Wei Ying, is falling in love with Yang Zi in another drama. The visual of them together is too much. Our poor Lan Zhan T_T.
Many of the c-dramas are very good, especially the historical/costume ones. I just love them.
You've said it so well. Absolutely agree. Too bad the Chinese Government is clamping down on historical dramas. In many ways, they (the dramas) consist of so much political stuff that the government feels they are criticizing it (the government). It's most unfortunate, because what many historical dramas portray are pretty true as in government corruption, political persecution, oligarchy government etc.

It's a very niche market. Not many appreciate the amount of work behind a historical drama - the costumes, palaces, cities, etc. I don't believe other countries are capable in producing such dramas in such rate.
To truly enjoy this drama (like we, the fans, do), don't let your preconception get in the way; don't pre-judge this drama.
Don't judge it on its technical aspects (eg. CGI etc - actually the gingerbread man aka Flat Stanley is pretty well done). Look at the characters themselves, especially Wei Ying and Lan Zhan. Both are very lovable and given life by the two incredible actors. Look at the relationships between Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, Wei Ying and his adoptive sister (Shi Jie), Wei Ying and Jiang Chen, Wen Qing and Wen Ning and many others. There are so much love, concerns and sacrifices one makes for another. Look at its aesthetics, the flow of the characters' hair and gowns, their flying and playing the musical instruments.
Those are the most beautiful parts for me and why I have enjoyed this drama so much. With the whole thing, listen to the beautiful sound tracks. Each tells a beautiful story.
If with all these, one still doesn't enjoy this drama, then too bad. Like Wei Ying says, "Whatever."
I'm at my third watching and I totally get what you mean. Things get imprited more in mind now that I don't have…
Yep! I'm doing 3 things concurrently:
1. Re-watching the drama 2. Read the novel 3. Watch the anime
Helps me to understand some of the things that got cut or edited in the drama. Also helps me in catching some of the very subtleties that I may have missed.
Never know I would love a bromance / BL like this.
One of the actors that act as jin ling get blackened now because his ex-girlfriend bringing ultimate bomb news…
How is his ex-girlfriend slandering him? Of course he comes to our notice because of this drama. Likewise for Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo. I didn't even know them before this drama. What's wrong with that? What did he do that his ex-girlfriend wants to hurt him?
Just finished watching this drama the second time. This time, very slowly, trying to catch every nuance. And I still laugh at the funny scenes, and cry like a baby when it comes to Wei Wu Xian's sacrifices, false accusations by others, and injustices he has to endure as if I'm watching the first time. All his emotions simply resonate in my heart. Man, what a wonderful character and what a wonderful actor.
QuJinChenQing, Wei Wuxian's character song... this dude really went through a lot (@ people who haven't watched…
That's the beauty of the OSTs of this drama. They are amazing. Each character song describes a trait within ourselves, or someone we know. The lyrics are so true and touching. Like for the Xue Yang's song, who hasn't done wrong and regretted? It really stabs me in the heart. These musicians are really geniuses. Kudos to them!
