I'm trying this out because the new historical dramas just starting are not getting very good reviews. This trope of present-day woman transported to ancient times has been done before. So let's see where this goes? If it's funny, it will be a pleasure to watch.

This film was brutal. A friendship forged in childhood could not withstand the strictures of a society divided into nobles and slaves. Fighting off invaders took its toll but one group acquiesced and members of the lower class were 'ennobled' by their struggle for liberation. The three-way sword fight in the fog clarified the misunderstandings. The befuddled emperor was outmaneuvered by a nose and then some. The end shows a people learning to smile and dance again.

I'm pretty sure I saw it in the later episodes after they already revealed their identities of having met together as youths.

Ep. 16 This is pretty much a lot of filler until the end when BaiShuang has to bluff her way to keep pretending she is who she's not so as not to fall into the clutches of a very p'd off Na Zhan.

Ep. 15 after falling from one coma into the next, Bei Shuang is save by the Ice Toad. How? It's all left to your imanation. Lazy writing I'd say. Beside all those costume changes and being practical invisible so he can spend so much time in Bei Shuang's bedroom, Qing Yun can also change his face when needed. What a talented guy.

Sounds about right to me as I gave it a 7 despite liking Landi Li and Jeremy Tsui's acting.

Absolute hate Ren Jia Lun's character and don't like his acting generally so after trying this drama a couple of times I've had enough. Too bad, because I really like Landi Li and Jeremy Tsui.

I remember some of that Jasper trajectory, but also saw one scene where the Jasper in the dish disintegrates into the air and later one appears in the grass by the tree they visited as children and adults.

The musical journey was outstanding. The actors were endearing and the story was unique enough to stay away from too many tropes. The evildoers were a bit over the top, but what the hell at least they didn't get to go out with a boom only a whisper.

La grande finale. Some nice Wuxia but uncle swinging the gong around is just out of tune. The plot comes to naught as does the big boom expected by Bad Sis, but who can stay mad at someone on the way to becoming a housewife. Fei final concert tour ends with a kiss to build a dream marriage on. What's happened to Jasper, anyone? I really enjoyed this musical journey. If you did too, give a good rating.

ep. 23 Huang Yin's nose is usually out of joint but this time she uses it well. From Fei's wrist to Mu's ears comes the tune Shan is playing which stops scoundrel Shang's smirk in its tracks. For their evil deeds they are made assistants. What could be more demeaning? So they are planning an explosive finale if his royal brother doesn't recind the appointments.

Ep. 22 Baubles, bangles and broaches are in the ascendency. While Bad Sis plucked away and her murderous admirer grinned at her triumph, Fei and her cohorts flew into an instrumental frenzy to draw all present into a rhythmic riot of hand-clapping ecstasy.

Appreciate your comment. I'm not tech-savy so I'm happy just to get some of my reactions off my chest after watching this little gem. Now, on to the next episode if I can remember where I was.

ep 19 Now that what you call a 'love boat'. He had to do a lot of 'sh**t' work to get her there. It's time for retribution for the evildoers.

Holy Hell, phosporous fire pill is defitely lethal. Mayor is distraught. Young Lord is distant. Shan is evil. Fei is perplexed. This little drama has certainly flown under the radar so far it seems.

Just finished ep 15 and the killing squads are out for Young Lord. His majesty and everyone else has condemned Fei. Big Bad Sister's ingenious schemes have all worked her way so far. It can only get worse at this point.

Impressive musical performances by Fei and squatting while listening by Young Lord. He does wear the most exquisitely printed outfits with design work and broaches.

Bad sister is wearing a hat that makes her look properly ridiculous. I guess helping to make that banister give way for nice sis to fall in the water didn't exactly go as planned. This is a quirky little musical with three reluctant pairings. Jin is the real sad sack.

thanks for this. i'm starting ep 9 and i'm getting impatient.

Ep. 14 finally a glimpse of the desert. What a hot mess this is, another silly bathing scene, ugly clay figurine couple, and what!? a suicide note? why? and she acts totally unperturbed ensuring him she won't open it until he's dead. His reasoning is because he has no one else in his life. So who's that buddy that's running all his errands and who's the old guy he's trying to rescue who saved his ass as kid? Drunken fish noodles win the contest, but no oasis is forthcoming.
