I was hesitant at first to see one of my favourite actors in such a state, but the intricacies of this drama are really worth watching. Cheng Ren and Chuai Jia's best friend are also great characters. Especially, don't miss the last 3 to 4 episodes. I give this drama a 9.5 rating.
The new sister-in-law arrival is a blood sucker. I'm zipping through the Mommy Dearest part as fast as I can because she was already dislikable when she was her overbearing self with He Ran. Now that she's spending all her time in the utility closet for whatever trauma, she even harder to watch. Sadly, the young, likable guy is spending too much time in her presence thus I only watch him whe he's with He Ran. The main leads are charismatic and sweet together so who needs anyone else.
wow somehow i ship zhang ping and the king so much 🤗. finished it:)
Yeah, there's a definite vibe going on there. I also loved when Wang Yan carried Zhang Ping piggyback even though I think he had a thing for Lan Jue. We didn't get many details about what the Gu guy and Lan Jue were doing in that little shack on the island for all those years.
Just finished this series. Many good things about this drama and its actors. Bromances galore are fun to watch with plenty of mysterious goings-on. I like the soundscape and the visual treats. Too bad due to censorship this BL story was not allowed to come into full bloom and it also made the story quite choppy. Kudos to the performances of Jing Bo Ran, Hong Yao but sadly those lovable lips of Song Wei Long were never to be kissed.
Your comment says a lot about how women are portrayed in xianxia/wuxia/historical C-dramas. Not a normal woman…
Yes, often that's the case and we must object when we see these portrayals/betrayals of women. Once in a while, there is a drama that gives us interesting, strong female roles like the two leads in Side Story of Fox Volant.
finished. This started so promising with decent chemistry, then went downhill towards the end. Kisses are sparse…
This is really good to know. Now I won't have to waste my time on this drama. Desperately looking for a romantic historical drama as there is nothing much new out after Unchained Love.
I'm not sure if I missheard but she was talking about her sister-in-law's brother and that she couldn't keep her promise to revenge him now. I'm totally confused.
I've totally forgotten what her revenge reason was to go to the palace, so when she was hinting about it I couldn't make heads or tails out of what she said.
That 'confession' Yinlou made to Duo was agonizing to watch. I could see him shrinking with every onslaught. I know she's trying to protect him but will she have any heart left after this? I which the Emperor was still a befuddled lantern maker, instead of the creep he has become. I don't' know what will happen, but hope Rong An and him take each other out.
Qiu Yuan played that queer little duck in Sword Snow Stride. I really like that drama, but she was mostly a cute but quiet sidekick. Here, it sounds like she's overdoing it.
