Wait, what do you mean by “no humor”? Have you actually watched it? There’s plenty of humor in this drama. Criticize the CCP if you want but don’t trash Chinese people.

The drama delivers undeniably stunning visuals and action scenes, which stand out as one of its greatest strengths, esp. ep 26 battle.

I expected nothing less

pyscho

but the drama didn't really reveal what their thinking is, it's subject to each viewer to interpret it for yourself their intentions

Ep 26 battle, especially the FL fight scenes look like a drama enactment of a video game animation

ML played Jian Yang, Tong Yao's first love in FIYS

I could be wrong, but I think GOTD was all about the ML. I recall seeing comments when it was airing that Tian Xi Wei didn't have much screentime. In Moonlit Reunion, it's female-centric story, but in Pursuit of Jade, it's all about the FL. Moonlit Reunion gave a lot of screen time also to supporting cast, and the ML had little screentime.

I think the director’s style has both pros and cons. He’s undeniably artistic and knows how to give viewers what they want, but at the same time, he seems to control so much of the actors’ craft.

She says her ridiculous lines with such conviction, you don't know if you should laugh or not

The story follows one main character, and that character is the female lead.

I'm a bit torn, because the story hasn’t really convinced me why he needs to keep it secret for so long. Without a strong reason, it ends up weakening his character. Since the story already doesn’t go very deep into the ML, it becomes even easier for his characterization to feel thin.

Love is Blind

Another title can be The Legend of Chang Yu

They need to update the poster. There's a new one with gold characters.

excellent points!

Yeah, I think that’s probably it. The men with him would be shouting and announcing his entry. At the end of the episode, only the pig squad was left, which was intentional. The director has a way of creating moments. There are pros and cons to his style for the actors.

It’s not meant to be realistic or serious—it’s written like the stuff of legends.

How did the men know it was the Marquis arriving on horse when they didn’t even know what he looked like back at camp? Was it his horse, something he carried, his men, or did someone announce him?

She says she’s going to cut off a few ears on the battlefield to prove she actually fought. To her, it’s no different from chopping off pig ears—which, honestly, is a pretty common dish.
And in an earlier episode, she threatened to cut off the bad guy's penis!
