Just finished ep. 7 and enjoyed Yingying's nemisis getting tortured with sleep deprivation. I really like her friend the restaurant owner as well and hope she gets together with her brother. Yingying's main squeeze is pretty low key. I can't see any real passion in that relationship. Instead Jinlan can run circles around her. When are they going to feel that spark?

I watched Tan Song Yun in another 'Brocade' drama years ago when she played a child bride who has to survive in a household full of scheming concubines. They haven't let her age much in the intervening years as she's still playing ingenue roles.

Ep. 32. I'm trying to get to the end here, but it's taking forever. Duanwu and many of the characters' conversations are painfully slow. Why?

Ep. 29 was epic. Battle Royal with bandits. Scrorching fire trap. Wounded by arrow in exactly the same spot as Duanwu. Still she dabs on healing powder and cleans his fevered brow going so far as to stage a night of bliss with a willing Jinran. And why not, he's a pleasing hunk. The remainder of the Cui and the leftover young Zheng are getting help from corrupt Xu but to no avail it's another fail.

I keep coming here off and on and the rating keeps going down slightly. I can see why. I'm at ep 28 and am mostly bored with turn of events. When they resort to fickle mobs to try and get some drama you know the screenwriters have run out of ideas.

Good news indeed. Looking forward to both dramas. Where is Lee Joon Gi? Want to see something new from him.

I'm crawling my way through ep. 23-25 as it is getting tedious. Totally disappointed that whenever ZiJing makes an appearance he is coughing blood and is in great pain. That's not what I signed up for. Some sites are putting up spoilers about the ending . They should be shamed and boycotted.

I have my suspiciouns, but I also wonder why ZiJing has not tried to find out to make the 'bad guy' pay?

Oh right, he was just shooting that other arrow off its flight plan. Do we know who shot at her? Was it that masked guy with the bird of prey?

No, but it was a long time ago as I was watching Love Game in Eastern Fantasy to the end. I remember there was a big battle and a lot of people got killed but I don't remember why she would have blamed ZiJing for that?

After a long break I went back to watch ep 21 but I've totally missed what caused their breakup. Can someone help and tell what episode I need to watch to find out how she went from 'you're my man' to trying to scratch out a living for herself.

Just finished it. Can't decide how to rate it as I really enjoyed the drama until ep 23 and then I had to do a lot of fast forwarding to stick with it until the end. She should have just stayed in the imaginary world living together with demns looked like a lot more fun.

Just finished ep. 10 and the subtitles are badly confusing. The continuity and where people are located from one minute to the next is not clear. It's a superior looking production but the aforementioned problems spoil these attributes.

That's when I left because I heard all the good people died. What a huge disappointment.

I'm up to ep 25 and one of the reviewers spoiled the ending for me. So I will not continue as I hate desperately sad endings where everyone is wiped out. What's worse is that Jing He has to suffer for his whole life when he was such a great character who already had to suffer at the beginning of the drama and was only made whole again through their love. Phew to the screenwriters.

Except for a few fast forwards I watched the whole thing. Pretty good characters, story and production. I did think the leads' relationship was just a little bit too 'incetuous' since never stopped calling him '3rd brother' even after they were long married. She is quite an accomplished actor but wether it was her voice or a dubbed voice, I found it just too babyish. ShenYuan had many aspects to his character but that was not always apparent from his placid expression. JianXue went totally off the rails for which even devotion was not a good enough excuse. The supporting cast was very enjoyable and talented, even those who were wicked.

Agree about his voice but the rest of his face was mostly blank except for the odd upturned smile the FL brought to his lips.

Ep. 35 I know this isn't the most important thing in this drama, but I wish someone would put that poor goose out of it's misery for having to wear that cloth collar. It keeps trying to nibble it off with its beak. Third brother is playing evil, the prime minister is mangling his cricket to show the marquis he's not invulnerable. Yining keeps the faith.

Ep. 34 When are these young ladies ever going to catch on that when someone 'accidentally' dirties their clothes , they should not be lured into some room to get changed. Inevitably, someone is out to compromise their reputation. What will the outcome be here? She's already held off the Marquis several times.

Thanks for the history lesson. Considering how true to history most of the dramas are (not), I'm just surprised this adult son cowed by 'old madam' remains so prevalent.
