Just started this and have never seen a drama with so many maids getting it on with eunuchs. Aren't eunuch supposed to have problems performing due to the physical changes that makes them eunuchs?

Well I watched the whole thing except ep. 28 was missing so I don't know how Lin Yan got so badly wounded. Anyway I don't like the way it showed him agonizingly live his long life alone with everyone thinking he's gone batty. Then it reverts to modern times and Shoaguang looks ratty as she tries to hang on to her memories. Meeting a young version of Lin Yan at his old mansion at the very last few moments of the drama is just not good enough after investing so much emotion in this relationship. What is it with script writer just not knowing how to do their characters justice. Did the production run out of money? According to regulations they could have filmed 8 more episodes. With a better ending I would have given this a much higher score.

I alwasy enjoy cooking competitions in dramas. It's great the family came together at the end of it. The time spent on the FL's brother's story is mostly a downer for me. I want to zip through it but the other characters are so lovable that I don't want to miss them. The spy sent by the Prince also succumed to the family's charms and became ineffective. Lin Yan is his usual capable self with a soft heart. Just when are these two going to get a little smooch?

I haven't finished the drama yet so please put spoiler on your comments.

He has no morals but the Princess manages to get under his skin. His nemesis, Jingshi, has no morals either as she finally realizes.

I'm still sticking with it even though it become too repetitive. The parents and the brother are unlikable so I skip through a lot of their screen time. Love Lin Yan and Yangyang the most. The female lead is doing a good job with her innovative smarts and likable personality. I don't like how she is treating Lin Yan and would think she would be smart enough to find a way around whatever the impediments are to their happiness. The Princess is another interesting character but totally wasted on that wishy washy Pei Fei. Waiting to see if there will be retribution for the characters who harmed Lin Yan's family. I'm hoping for a happy ending for the good 'guys'.

Well, it's done and dusted and I'm tryint to decide what rating to give. Was it perfect or near perfect? The ending had much red blood, black blood and bad blood flowing. Sharp objects piercing everything left and right. Hard done by Jingshi showed that living a tortured life does not enoble anyone. The from enemies to lovers couple looked sublime and sanguice at the end. There are different than expected people on throne. Who knows how that will work out? Great work by all involved. The production from costumes to sets was sublime. The action immense. The actors and writers gave us much pleasure. Sequel?

You're right. When I look at his past dramas I realize I've watched most of them but he seems to have been able to inhabit different characters that I didn't notice they were this particular actor. Good job.

I don't remember the details, but it seems that neither his sister (the Princess) nor the new Emperor are convinced Suige is dead. By the way the young naive version of him has been replaced by a much more savy version. We've got six episodes to go and a lot of revenge to deal out.

Ep. 32 That Storm Alliance sounds like it's taken a wrong turn since Suige's mother founded it. The plotters are all over the place getting ready to pounce. Not much of an alliance, more like a twister. The Princess is getting more bad a**ed by the minute. She's setting up her 'beloved'. Will she succeed? The new Emperor of Susha is proding the little official because he can't believe what he is being told about the crimes his older 'brother' is supposed to have committed. Now suspicion has been cast on his mother, the Dowager Empress. What to do?

Ep. 31 If the beloved characters can't really die the weapons always hit the 'sweet spot' . Yixiao is still in his heart but she will sacrifice anything to be back in Suige's memories. Yinyang is loving the abuse he's suffering at the Princess' hands and wants to shower her with roses. His Mom on the other hand wants her dead and wants Jingshi to capture Susha. All that for a couple of brown pills.

Ep. 30 It's all gone to sh*t. Princess has given up her virtue to the tyrant. Yixiao has risked all to restore Suige's sight and he suddenly sees his worst enemy before passing out in a stupor. What will tomorrow bring?

Ep. 29 The Princess has grown a pair. Her tormentor is liking the experience of pain to go with his sadistic tendencies. Her 'ex' is in full revolt. The Storm Alliance is not showering Feng SuiGe with love but YiXiao is there channeling his mother. Both kingdoms, Susha and Jinxiu, are up for grabs.

Ep. 28 The Murongs are on a tear to wipe out Suige's faction. Even the Hound and Gu Yu have bitten the dust. YiXiao has days to get him to Storm Alliance. The Empress has moved up to become Empress Dowager is busy convincing her naive son his brother is a ruthless killer. The proclamation has been posted and now 'fact' in everyone's mind.

Ep. 27 Drip, drip, drip, slosh, slosh, slosh. You can almost hear the blood flowing and the hands washing it away. The trap is laid. The Prince and his drunken revellers get outmaneuvered. Even the archer is asleep on the job. The empress is ashen. The loveable eunuch is stabbed in the back. There's no end to the fallen.

yes

Ep. 2 That Lord Hanfeng keep sending the same two fairies to Ji Bosai, so boring. Ming Yi is persistent but clumsy in her seduction methods.

Just started this to see them fight with color-coded lightsabers. This relationship is running hot and cold so far.

Ep. 26 She never seems to run out of arrows and he can take two or more with his sword at a time. That's why they are our HEROES! Time for revenge. The Prime Minister's plan blows up in his face. The he gets to do the Perp walk. The twisted Emperor is waiting for him to arrive for the showdown.

Ep. 25 Consumation. Is that what we've all been waiting for? It's always good to have love in your life. No doubt the morning-after glow will fade soon given what's ahead. The Empress and the Princess are deprived. Murong Yoa and the Prime Minister are depraved. Murong Yoa's dad is doing penance while hobling to see the Emperor, the Empress is enduring being ignored and the Emperor is seeing ghosts. None of them have a leg to stand on. These are all thorny issues.
