Might get egged for saying this but I didn't like Love O2O

I miss Yang Yang so badly. His past few works after Whirlwind Girl hasn't hit me in the right spot but willing to give this one a try.

I completely agreed with you. The first time I shed a tear watching this series was this moment. This is why I love Xu Kai so much. He nails these mixed emotions part extremely well.

I have to say, I'm not really getting the romantic vibes from our leads- likely due to the editing. I don't mind a fast paced romance but at least have it make more sense then how they suddenly started dating, suddenly break up and then suddenly reconcile. I'm only up to ep 9 and the only thing grabbing my attention are the rescue/emergency scenes but then I get bored in the slice of life that could have been executed much better. I keep on thinking of You are my hero which in contrast- lacked those emergency scenes- spent a lot of time on just the slice of life which I didn't mind. Appears hard to find the right balance of enough of those rescue scenes and just day to day life.

I fast forwarded the last 8 episodes (read recaps) and still it did not renew my interest but glad I didn't waste a further 9 hours of my life. Yes I expected something like Goblin when you insert an immortal with the power of Doom. What I got was nothing I expected. I did not expect it to be this boring. It had great potential and sure, explore all you want about life and death and you can do that effectively without inserting the fantasy element of gods or just have 1 god that actually makes sense!

I actually like Qing Mu better than Bai Jue and Xue Kai does it well. He's back to his cute and shameless self from Military Arsenal Academy (a few tons down but it's there) and the story with Hou Chi is definitely better than Bai Jue/Shanggu. I can't wait for more and like others, I was eager to binge watch till ep 30 but alas, next week!

Agree! I just don't feel that zingy feel I got back on season 2 where I want more and more episodes. It was intriguing. I'm on ep 7 now and it's been slow pace. At least with the last 2 seasons, by 7 episodes, a lot has already been talked about because they are short dramas. I am hoping it turns better.

Omg! I so agree with you. I started losing interest around ep 5-6 and now it's just barely tolerable. The beginning looked promising and I enjoyed it and was eager for new episodes but really- nothing is moving. Does Doom not have anything to do other than hang around TDK all the time? I would expect someone who has 100 days left to live to live it fully or are they living as if there is no deadline. The 2nd lead romance, I just skip them entirely. I'm waiting for the next 'big' move coming from the deity or a shift in the cosmos cuz nothing is happening on Earth. Gotta be THE most boring K drama I've seen to date and there are less than a handful but I need closure so sticking to the end to find out.

Love the 1st season, 2nd season wasn't too bad- plotline got a tad too confusing but many cue moments of the M/F leads. I love how it's such a low budget film that they can film and finish production in a matter of a few months so we don't wait too long. I hope this is the final one though- there is only so many ways you can reinvent the storyline and not feel like it's being dragged out for money sake. Mind you, each season is only 25-28 episodes so it's actually a short drama that 3 is really at the limit of a complicated storyline. Still looking forward to it. I find Liang Jie has the best chemistry with Xing Zhao Ling. I was trying to watch her in Time Flies where she co-starts with Joseph Zeng- at episode 5 and I'm not feeling the zingy chemistry at all.

Can someone tell me the ending in the manga? I'm somewhat confused by the ending scenes. Sun is in his full eagle general outfit. I'm not sure what happens with the Ashina tribe. I doubt it that she'er can be the new successor after what his mother did. Someone has to lead the tribe given the Khan remains ill and will no longer have the ambitious heart for warfare. I'm left with Sun carrying the burden because it's not like him to just leave his people and live out in peace.

And then gutwrenching to see after the blood and sweat for that duel, CG throws it all away by begging to stay. That emotional protest from Sun when he slammed that bowl down was epic. No thanks is one thing but for him to realize he did it ALL for nothing! Nothing!

I think you are onto something with She'er's mother. It appears that She'er's right hand man doesn't follow his orders directly. He overtakes She'er and seemingly taking orders from his mother instead or at least look at her best interests more than She'er. I too thought that when Sher and Sun could have a civilized conversation about their rivalry, how things could be different in using Sun to help him secure power as opposed to seeing Sun as a rival. That was the whole purpose of the Great Khan appeasing Sun because he knows he is capable. Without Sun, the Ashile tribe is merely just a bunch of grassland men with a thirst for land and war. Sun is the one with brains here.

If he wasn't chasing down CG, he's trying to keep tabs on LeYan cuz she slips out from him and I would be over protective too considering he spent over 10 episodes trying to find her. lol

Only that he is most likely a Han Chinese like CG but of unknown family. This was implied from the Great Khan on why Sun will never be his successor as he isn't truly from the Grasslands.

In the past, most chinese dramas were voice over dubbed. It has gotten better now but they still do it. I find certain actors are always dubbed and Xu Kai is one of them. It's not because he can't speak Mandarin but I learned from others that some have dialects very apparent when they speak and so the dubbing eliminates that. I've heard Xu Kai's real voice before, it's actually a bit soft and may not always have the right tone but I always prefer the real actor's voice. Li Yi Tong on the other hand has been dubbed before but not all her dramas where dubbed. That's why I was able to tell it was her real voice in Court Lady.

Who is here and utterly delighted that we have this new drama to help us make it through the days without the Long Ballad? I am a Xu Kai fan and been waiting for this drama. Li Yi Tong is one of my favorite actresses. I've liked pretty much all of her dramas. Thank goodness she isn't dubbed but sadly, Xu Kai has always been dubbed. Ugh.

I have to say that I wasn't very into LeYan's character. I had been waiting for her to grow up and learn. It's interesting how her storyline was running parallel to that of CG. Both were somewhat 'missing' and both ended up finding a younger brother to care for and both had to deal with the loss of their younger brother. LeYan's compassion and kind heartedness although at times served her no good but harm, other times, it won her friendship and opportunities. She did not survive those horrible and traumatic situations by suddenly being cold hearted/toughness. She kept her genuine self but finds a purpose in life to be a proper princess. I actually quite admire her for that.

We can imagine through what was verbalized by his comrades. He was described as appearing to show a lack of emotion (he had barely smiled) and he doesn't do as much as he would for his comrades compared to what he does for CG. He was very eager to impress the Great Khan in securing his place in the Eagle Team and in doing so, created his long standing rivalry with She'er. Before that epic seige in ep 13-15, Sun had a reputation of being merciful to his enemies and he does not believe in unnecessary suffering. In that regard, he is an exception to a typical character profile of a young hero in the Grasslands. They were raised in harsh environments with limited resources (hence the constant need for war) where they are taught to be tough, have little mercy and above all, loyalty to the Great Khan should be unquestionable. After meeting Changge, he obviously starts showing more care and emotion than he otherwise would have, he has lost a drive to impress the Great Khan and merely just wants to ensure the survival of the people in his care. He has grown weary of warfare. I don't necessarily think because of CG, he changed significantly for the best. What changed was he has found someone he truly wants to protect with his life that has meaning and not due to responsibilities.

I don't actually think Ashile Sun is too blinded by his love for her. Sure, he protects her and saves her with almost no regard for himself but if you've seen the episode where he explains how he manages his Eagle team and CG, he explains it so well that as the leader of Eagle Team, he carries out his responsibilities and puts them in the forefront. As an individual named Sun, he would put his life on the line for CG at any time. He at least doesn't just take off to look for her without sorting out his first and foremost responsibilities in the Grasslands. Though at some point, I theorize he will no longer be able to stay there any longer so long as he loves CG as he will have to pick a side. We know from history, Sun is on the losing side of the great Tang Dynasty.
