Wow, I still cannot get over the amazing chemistry between Xu Kai and Bai Lu. I think their chemistry is one of…
I know, right? Imagine you have someone so powerful behind / beside you all the time. With a wave of his hand, he could realize your wishes. And he tells you, "When you fight, I'm your sword; when you retreat, I'm your shield." That's the sweetest thing to say to any girls. My heart melts.
Yeah Jordan! took you a while to come -- after MingLan did not expect this drama to be equally well produced &…
I've watched both dramas, and they are totally different, in every aspect. For Eternal Love, it is a fantasy with a lot of things that were not possible for humans. Whereas with Goodbye My Princess, it is down to earth, earthling's stuff. You really need to watch it (Goodbye My Princess) to appreciate it. No worries. We're all here to provide comfort - shoulders to cry on or to punch, however you like it.
Well she didn't exactly "possess" Qin Zhi Yan's body... they just looked exactly alike, and Lu Zhao Yao was invisible…
Episode 30 when Lu Zhao Yao ate the supreme Kong Kong Wan. She returned to her own self, regained her power and no more invisible, However, there was side effect with this supreme pill - she exploded.
As far as I'm concerned, I find this drama a lot palatable than "Because of You". In "Because of You", there are overwhelmingly too many pull-out-my-hair moments, whereas "Nice to Meet You" gives us a lot of heart-warming, pleasant, sweet, loving moments which I genuinely relish.
When will the main leads get together officially? I'm at ep 9 and slightly getting bored. :/
Yes, but not at the end; he had to return to wherever ... Having said that, the ending is kind of "open". It seems he came back, but that's the end of the story. If you crave for romance, the last 2 episodes are heart-warming -- so much love. Make me want to fall in love too!
I was looking forward to this because of Ariel and the expectation grew because of Vin. The general plot is pretty…
You're absolutely right. Rushed is the word. The production squeezed everything into the last episode by killing off everyone. What an easy thing to do. They didn't even bother to write proper conclusions for those characters. Like you, I was enjoying this drama at the beginning, then it went downhill. I almost pulled out my hair in the last few episodes; it was unbearable but I wanted to watch the ending, so I pressed on. Well, what to do? Let's find another drama to watch. By the way, have you watched "Goodbye My Princess"? If you don't care about sad ending, this is a must-watch.
When I first started watching this drama I thought I was watching a copy of Yanxi Palace as there was a lot of…
I'm so pleased that there's another person enjoying this drama as I do. Yes, this is a wonderful drama, despite how accurately it is depicting the events. The important thing is with the story telling, the acting, the cinematography, the final production, among other things. Things in this drama sound logical and there were not that many inconsistencies. I believe this is how we should judge the quality of a drama.
Thou I always like real historical dramas, but this ... It reveals too much of human's ugly nature, full of wickedness…
I absolute agree with you. This is a great drama, and this version depicting events happened more than 2,000 years ago sounds more logical and plausible, especially with the behavior of Hao Lan. I love the Hao Lan character in this drama. I love the Ying Yi Ren character too. Differing from you, I don't find him selfish. There were multiple times he could have escaped but he came back for Hao Lan. Had he simply married the Zhao Princess Ya, his immediate predicament could have been mitigated. He didn't. He was a man with great vision and integrity. I only regret that he went so quietly. There were no emotional speeches, wills for Hao Lan, legacies, etc. He was such an important figure and yet it felt like he was just in the background all the time.
Really has this been confirmed? I would love to know how they went from the biggest names in China to xing xu…
According to some news, the big names' schedule could not meet the schedule for this drama. So the production had to switch actors. What a wonderful choice. Can't imagine Chen Kun, a 41 years old, playing the 5th Prince who was probably 16 or so, and Fan Bin Bin playing a 16 year old as Xiao Feng. It would have been a disaster. Chen Kun doesn't have that boyish look, and Fan Bin Bin doesn't have that naive and cute look (she's is beautiful).
Talking about this drama giving one depression, it even gave the actor, Chen Xing Xu, himself a lot of emotional turmoil while acting some episodes. There are a few behind-the-scenes of him crying uncontrollably after the shooting.
A drama should not be judged by its happy or sad ending; it should be judged by the acting, cinematography, story telling, music, among others. With these criteria in mind, this is a very well done, high quality drama.

Cannot imagine it without Chen Xing Xu and Peng Xiao Ran. It would have been so different!
