Please put your comments under Spoiler for those of use just starting this drama and that goes for the episode comments as well.

I`ve seen that with other actors in other dramas and some have really red hands which could be because often they are cold on these sets because when they speak you can see their breath.

Fun and games with Ms Jin, hugs and kisses all around and a little gender fluidity to spice it all up. I always thought Ms Jin was bi anyways given all the antics with her and Shen Li earlier. Happy ending now that the god and Shen Li have brought about their biggest creation miracle so far.

Ep. 35 &36 are Abyssmal given all the action takes place there. Puppets, demons and MoFang`s handler are evil on steroids. The realms will not survive if the seal is broken. Only Shen Li can take on the master who made her father. Only MoFang can stop himself. What`s Xing Zhi going to do with his father-in-law.

Just started ep 30 and again with the evil attacks. Just where does the 'puppet master' MoFang devise all that energy from? and given he has all this energy, what does he need Shen Li's pearl for? The snake/dragon has the sexiest legs and is helping to get Shen Li hot and bothered. Then there's that belly rub and 'oh, my god' who can resist him?

Started it but won't watch this. I hate overbearing mothers/mother-in-laws.

Actors must think these evil roles are desirable as they are on screen a lot making an impact on the story. I find most of them are so disgusting that I can't watch the specific actor in any other role in another drama. It's like 'cutting off your nose to spite your face'. Pure evil is different from if the story gives a character a reason for their revenge.

That sister is always making her brother look like a dunce. Gets tiresome.

Still plugging away around ep 24 and it's been depressing. Is there no end to those evil guys?

Any news at all when this might start? I miss this excellent drama.

I found that last episode a waste of time and couldn't zip through it fast enough in order to get to the happy end and a most handsome bridegroom.

Looking at Eunuch Lou's shadow beard he would be hard pressed to prove he doesn't have the balls. Looks like the Empress overreached and dragged that cute 6th Prince down with her. The Shen household is gutted by fire and and Lu Shi Yan gets beamed on his noggin. How will it all end?

Slowly making my way to the end. Blacky is looking for Lu Shi Yan but he doesn't know enough to keep his nose to the ground. The Empress is counting her chickens and everyone else has a lot on their plate - find the antidote, protect the Crown Prince, get the Eldest Princess out of jail and neutralize the 'refugee' assembling in town for the (in)auspicious event.

I'm going to be so sad when we run out of Jeremy Tsue dramas. He is always such a stalward and upright hero who also has a romantic side to him that is very endearing.

My favourite was The Autumn Ballad.

I'm done. Forced myself to the end, but I guess I totally missed the significance of the tokens assembled at the end. I don't think I even care. I did like the ML and the SML and will look for them in hopefully better dramas.

You're right on point. It was never the same for me after the old face/body swap. So I'm glad it ended pretty lackluster in the romance department. I keep wondering what he did with the dead body he thought was his Cai Wei?

This drama is a bit of a lark with a strong female character. I did end up liking Captivating the King very much mostly for the male lead who is 'right up there' for me now. There is really nothing that compares to My Dearest. The two seasons of Poong, the Joseon psychiatrist wound itself into my heart. The King's Affection tugs at your heartstrings. If you're up for an old, long masterpiece try Empress Ki. Frustrating and flawed at times, but fascinating enough so you couldn't turn away.

I'm getting toward the end, but I'm having a harder and harder time sticking with this drama. The non-existing acting abilities of Ju Jing Yi are making it more and more difficult to find her believable as Cai Wei who had talent, intelligence, earthy charm and courageous self-reliance.

'Whither thou goest, I wilt go'. Few words and lots of kisses is the best way to end a drama. I liked this drama, short & sweet, because powerful as she was, she let her guard down to welcome in a handsome, loyal suitor.
