I can empathize with you. This is a wonderful drama that no other drama can beat so far in trapping our emotions.

Yes, boxes of it (tissues), plus chocolate, plus pillows and comfort blanky.

Thanks for the suggestion. Let me check out the trailer for "Kill It" first.

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).

This drama was originally to be played by Chen Kun and Fan Bing Bing for the male and female leads.

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

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.

It's tagged "tragedy". Yes, it's really very sad. There are people who hate it and people who love it. I fall in the latter camp. Watch it and see which camp you fall under.

Same here - depression. Couldn't find the OST on Spotify yet. They have quite a lot of links on youtube though.

That's the question I've been asking too, did LCY violate XF? No idea. Didn't show in the episode despite alluding to it. Thought I missed something, but still haven't found out. There's also one scene that LCY slept with SeSe. I'm also not sure if they had s**, but SeSe touched her tummy the second day alluding perhaps that she was expecting (I'm pretty confused!)

Pei liked XF as a friend. He felt very guilty because he was also involved in slaughtering the Danchi. So he had wanted to make it up to her by protecting her whenever he could.

Just started this drama. Only at episode 2. Trying to press myself to continue watching. Bad dubbing, mouth movement way off. Still can't connect with the leads yet.

Good points. Love your lists. Now I know where to look for dramas I want to watch next. From your lists, I know you're a happy person. Stay that way. I actually stumbled across GMP without checking the tag. It just drew me in and couldn't withdraw myself until it's too late. Now I'm all broken. I need to find a good happy romantic drama to watch now to mend my heart. Any recommendations?

Someone made a hilarious video for this drama. Maybe it can give you a few seconds of laugh-out-loud laughter to mitigate the pain.

I think the ethnic language is Yi, a minority race in China living in the western part of China - just as where Xiao Feng came from - the Xi (western) State. This is the Yi version:

Hope they don't mess it up as in "Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms".

I just finished "Goodbye My Princess" a couple of weeks ago, desperate to find an appealing new drama to take my mind off the last one and heal my very much broken heart. I have absolutely no idea what is good or bad before I dive into watching it. I depend a lot on recommendations from my good old friends on kisskh. Having said that, if you haven't watched, you should have a go at "Goodbye My Princess". Everything in this drama (Goodbye My Princess) was very good. I've also recently completed "The Legends". The story, acting, CGI, makeup were quite good, but the editing was super bad. I've also watched "The Legend of Hao Lan" awhile back. Everything was pretty good for that drama. The rating is not as high as it deserves because it involves a controversial figure. Love to hear what you think.

Amazing actress. So natural and authentic. Love her!

Chen Xing Xu is such an excellent actor, despite his age. His acting is so matured. He's going to do well. Simply love him in "Goodbye My Princess" despite his very controversial role.

He has the sunniest smile I've ever seen. Love his bugs teeth!

They're kind of switching in and out. When Zhao Yao was talking to Zhi Yan, they used Bai Lu as Zhao Yao. When Zhao Yao was talking to others, say, Li Chen Lan, in the evening, they use Xiao Yan as Zhao Yao. This is because to Zhi Yan, Zhao Yao was Zhao Yao at all time. She could even see her when Zhao Yao was invisible. But to others, Zhao Yao was Zhi Yan in the evening; she was invisible in day light. However, in some episodes, people seemed to be able to see her even it was supposed to be in day light. This can get pretty confusing. I think this is some of the details the production team didn't take care of. There are many holes and inconsistencies like this throughout the drama.
