Agreed. Love the FL and the Crown Prince is in a complicated situation. The second leads will add more layers. All the sidekicks have their own charm. Can't wait for the next episodes. Why does it always take so long?

Ok. I'll give it a go. Off to the Opera now. Nice talking to you.

Gotcha, yes he's definitely worth spending time with. I will be checking out his other dramas.

Joe Chen absolutely blows it out of the water. For her sake I might even go back, but it's hard to tell if her story will take up much of the remaining drama. I can't figure out who you mean by JYK?

Hopefully the second season or Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty will live up to the first and worse come to worse I keep going with more Love in the Clouds and Whispers of Fate. I might even have to resort to contemporary dramas if they have actors I like.

Agreed, let's pull the plug and hope for better dramas to come along soon.

Thanks for telling me. I guess I needed a bit more convincing. There's not much to watch right now.

I've truly had it with Chu Yu's stone-faced persona. Her brother is another downer. Only Wei Yun persistence keeps me going. Her sister Jin and the Song brother are also a waste of time. I like the Song sister and her determined approach to sending the Crown Prince packing. We're only half-way but my enthusiasm is flagging already. Convince me I should keep watching this.

Just finished the most recent episodes and Chu Yu must be the most reluctant ancient bride ever. Wei Yun is making an extraordinary effort to get her to soften to his advances. Not much CP except when she was massaging his thigh.

Ep. 17 It's good to see lots of action again. The Wei widows were on a tear. The Song brothers did their bit. Gu Shu Cheng lives to see another day and can bring a traitor to justice. The Princess is finally admitting to being smitten with her little male kitten. Yu and Yun fought off the hordes only to end up at the bottom of a cliff (it's always the same cliff in all the dramas) with Yun having a broken part and Yu with a broken heart. Looks like there's a little flickering flame to keep him warm.

Just watched the latest episodes and Chu Yu looks so much more mature (their 8 year actual age difference really shows) than Wei Yun but doesn't act mature in some of her actions. She's on a serious quest to right some wrongs so should be a lot more aware of just how dangerous this is for both families. Wei Yun looks authentic in playing the young master who is very naive where romance is concerned. Chu Cheng still has the hots for her, but I don't trust that he will remain loyal. Sad the promising little romance between Tuantuan is fading fast. The other one between Yu sister and her suitor is just fluff.

I know it might be meandering along a bit, but I'm happy spending time with these leads. She's smart and adventurous and he's a little naive but no doubt capable. The budding romance between TuanTuan and her elder brother is really sweet. Her sister is such a jealous sourpus but she has an admirer so maybe she will chill out. The eldest Princess has her own thing going on which looks a little precarious. Finally Gu ChuCheng is still besotted with Chu Yu, so will he survive?

Just started. Looks like it might be ok. Waiting for Jeremy Tsui.

ep. 4. It always bugs me that in all these dramas the crowd in the street can turn on a dime. One minute there yelling and throwing vegetable at the victim and the next minute they they support them against the accusers. Wei Yun has lost everyone except the women in his family and is now at the mercy of that cackling torturer Cao. I need a little relief from this dour turn of events.

What's wrong with giving an honest assessment of what you see in the drama you're watching. This is why I come to read the opion of others.

Ep. 3 I hate dramas that kill of their best and brightest at the beginning. Eldest brother Wei was extremely pleasing and I don't blame Chu Yu to be attracted. I like my heroes mature. It's apparent the Crown Prince is incompetend and a liar and has enablers at court. His Majesty is pondering what is true but he has a cough so likely not long for this world. Who is the spy? The Duke of Ning? Why is he encouraging that the Wei generals should be investigated? The widow has arrived. Youngest brother gives her the doomsday stare.

I was waiting for her conversion to human form and here it happens in Ep. 3. I will now stop watching this. The voice actors they have chosen for these main characters are not tolerable to my ears.

Was going to watch this, but the introduction seems to give away all the good parts of the drama.

I'm on ep 26 and have come to know the elderly concubine Jing is a real piece of work. That new concubine must have gotten that face from spending too much time with those horses. It's not looking good for Ling Yun and her 'brother'. Ok, I finished it. This drama was obviously done on the cheap and the ending of the story with all its previous dynasty revelations and a smallpox epidemic was laying it on pretty thick. They made it out of the palace so I guess that means a happy ending.

Just halfway through, but it shouldn't take long to finish this drama. FL is certainly a handful. They are hinting that ML and her have a history and he is aware of it. Is she? Haven't seen the ML in any drama before. I find the emperor more lively but I guess he's just a stepping stone on her revenge quest. I'm not really that fond of stories of harem intrique and cruelty just got stuck in this drama somehow.
