Hey: I just found this drama and it seemed ok, but I didn't find it with english subs... Is anyone else watching it ? Can you share the link if you find it ? please :)

I really loved the novel and truly wish to see it adapted soon, I can't wait for it!

finally a drama character with real personality and (character) my expectations just skyrocketed. I have high hopes now for Zhao Lusi.

Thank you so much, I was looking for it

This actor is such a gem! He is one of my favorite characters is "a dream of splendor" his acting was just perfect: the line delivery, the expressions were on point. I hope that I get to see more of him in the future. He is truly talented.

Haha so true! and yeah I feel for you as I had to go through the same issues. They almost ruined the drama. Still do you want to stop it? it won't get better...

well all the kiss scenes were cut which gave the viewer a feeling of unsatisfied build up . And they were cut badly which affected the quality of the episodes so I deduced one point but a 9 is still a pretty good score

I'd love seeing him as the antagonist even if he has a sad ending his fierce expression is verrrry convincing, I think he could pull a crazy or creepy caracter as well but usually they aren't main characters and he's too good to be on the side lines...
as to the veteran I know what you mean but can a veteran only be an old guy? oh he could pull an army officer maybe ?

I know I felt the same although i didn't drop the show because I found the reactions interesting I thought it was handled well, it felt cute and sincere. he was doing an amazing job but it made sens for the story to go that way...

oh then , a sarcastic CEO would do, I think he'll do amazing as a character with a quirky personality I'm sure I'll love it. I'll welcome any and all, I just wish he doesn't fall in the pit where all the roles will look the same you know..

Yes I have high hopes for Go East too, and I agree he does amazing in romance, I also loved LMLMV which put his singing skills to good use. I guess his character and the female lead were a little too perfect and too happy which gave me a sugar rush and I think he could do even more. So it's not that I don't like romance just that I hope his character has more contrast. Character development woul'd be great, I can imagine him as a doctor, a teacher, a secret agent or even a serial killer, I know he did act as a hacker too which is great and he could have all the romance too. I guess I just hope he gets to star to many dramas in the coming years

I hope they are waiting for the end of the Olympics as I am getting impatient, seeing all these projects acheduled for this year but not getting any.
Although he said he likes comedy and he does it well, but I hope he stars again as a dubious or complicated character with some kind of dark side to make his acting shine brighter. His talents are more versatile than only comedy and romance, he brings his characters to life and I believe, that's the making of a great actor.

Absolutely loved it, he had so much character and presence. I look forward to the 2nd season of under the skin and hope he doesn't loose his originality in his future roles.

I just discovered Tan Jianci and I must say I am hooked. After his outstanding performance in lmlmv and Lyf. I need a new dose to get back my broken heart from Xiang Liu.

I just binge watched till episode 49 in 2 days and I don't know the novel, but I hate the relationship with Jing, he seems so passive and uninteresting and I don't feel any connection like with XL his character is haunting me. I hoped from the title that no male lead would end up with XY as I felt it should be tragic all the way or be with XL who's a complete outsider but after watching till now i guess the key moment for XL and XY has passed in episode 45. When she wouldn't answer his last question seems like she just lost her last chance to be with him. That's the moment he must have decided she's lost to him and he gave up hope.

Am I the only one who loved Yin Xiao Tian guest appearance? his performance was on point and out of this world. His scenes were simply amazing

I agree undortunately, no matter what method we use to rate something, the rating is biased as it's about quality and drama watchers tend to rate drama quality with their feelings and/or for strategy. I know it, so usually I go to the comments section to get a broader picture. it is usually harder to hide one's bias when they write. Sadly, I am sure I 've renounced a good drama or two because of a bad rating or bad comments.

I am sure I have the same bias too, but I am aware of it. When I like the drama I tend to give a very good note but that is earned as I had a good moment watching it. When I hate it, usually I abstain for fear of not being objective enough, giving a very bad evaluation and ruining other viewer's plan or experience.
I have also heard of the YXHs what they do is despicable, I hope they become soon a thing of the past.

I am glad this drama got its just reward and made its way to me, as i'd never heard of it (but I'm new to the community so :p)

just read your comments about how sometimes reincarnation is allowed in some dramas but not in others.
I actually can understand the ban as there is no limit to human idiocy and in fact, I feel like we're heading to an idiocracy. I mean nowadays we must be sure to explain that dreaking petrol is bad, and I heard some people there committed suicide trying to reincarnate or some such...
On another note, I feel like the message this series is trying to send would be completely different. Please don't get me wrong, i hate this ending, I feel cheated for the feelings and time I invested in this drama, but maybe It is an artistic decision (although it seems lazy for me as a trope).

What an underrated drama! I really don't understand how it's not a 9. I wouldn't give it 10 mostly because of the cut scenes although I must say I am so thankful they decided to allow it as the content is extremely taboo and scandalous by the Country's standard and somehow very political. I mean a servant commanding the country, a concubine escaping her destiny AND c***ing a high born with his servant no less, there were also major themes of freedom, personal agency and equality. I am speechless at the audacity and the actors I feel did an amazing job. Both leads were on par and had off the charts chemistry, that's pretty rare.

Exactly what I thought. I came here so hopefully someone may explain to me the ending...
