Mkvdrama is your friend.

I'll watch this if the FL dies in the end. There is no way end hell they can justify letting her have a happy ending after she stole a body and put her soul in it. She's Lord Voldermort personified.

Yes she's got the most character development and is constantly improving herself. Frankly if not for her great chemistry with the ML, I would not like the FL. Far too stoic and prideful. Frankly she's just as naive as Yinzhang imo.

Well that's pretty obvious:)

I need something more substantial from this drama for it to be consider a good one. The chemistry of the leads is excellent, one of the best I've seen in drama land, but I expected more from this plot.

Over half episodes have gone by and all I see are the main leads with that incredibly annoying and sassy waitress sideshow scurrying here and there without moving the plot. Seriously where is the Imperial Family, the Empress who has been a constant affair in this drama and she's never seen. The factions of the court that are going head to head and all I see is LYF character going to the Gao's again to give unneeded advice to her ex's current fiancee. Because it's just so fine butting into other people's business. When will they finally end this Ouyang arc. It's becoming tiresome and make the FL look like a thick and jeered woman that can't read the situation and can't move on. Enough!

Yinzhang is again with another rehashed plot line with what looks like another shady character if Hao Hao words are to be believe. Frankly I'm not interested in her story. Hopefully her pipa skills open up another story and avenue because frankly another doom romance is just a plain waste of time. Speaking of waste of time. I'll also add here that new sassy sidekick they've procured that seem to take up precious drama real estate when it looks like she's nothing substantial to the story. My quota of bratty and overbearing characters is ideally zero.

And for the good part at least I'm seeing Sanniang have a change of heart and personality develop. It looks like she might have a reunion with her son very soon. Among the three she seems to have the most development.

Anyway I'm hoping they push this story more to a better direction because I feel this plot is mostly stagnating. Lovey dovey moments between the leads is fine but it should ideally be a filler especially in a historical political drama.

It seems this drama is a train wreck. I was so hoping to see more of Wang Zi Xuan. I don't think I'll start this one as I'm not exactly a fan of the FL and the ML isn't my cup of tea.

The main antagonist in this drama Jeon Tae Soo died(took his life?) a few years ago.

Please don't put words into my mouth as I've never claim this drama is a masterpiece unlike someone who loudly asserts Something in the Rain is some top class work with a deep message and an intellectual fulfilling production. It's a freakin romcom drama. Seeing the few C-dramas you like only includes Find Yourself makes one realize you really have a superficial understanding and experience of Chinese dramas in general. But then we already know that basing from your original comment.

Does this drama also have Madame Sarkozy constantly crooning to some languid cabaret number like the "original" one. I haven't watch much of it as of now. Oh wait with your level of intellect I don't think you'd know who I'm talking about. That's pretty much what I remember from that drama. Since her song was played like a broken record.

Claiming that drama was some high quality and high class shit is really stretching it.

What an incredibly tactless, presumptuous and inaccurate comment. Never mind reading such condescending and asinine tripe. Good God, try to have a more original complaint next time instead of coming here claiming every other Chinese drama is some Kdrama ripoff.

I'm so not in the mood for xianxia dramas. I feel like watching TMOPB, HSALF, and L&R and you'd pretty much covered every xianxia drama there is. I'm always up for wuxia and palace politics dramas though. Something like Stand by Me which I greatly enjoyed. I'd been hoping to see this after watching that.

I wanna finish this as I wasn't able to complete this when I first watched this years ago. However because of a tragic event with one of the actors of this drama I'm having a hard time picking this up again.

Heck, I was gonna say Angelababy and her husband had same age difference and then I found out she and Huang Xiaoming divorced early this year.

One of the rare times MDL is actually lower than Douban. I think 8.5 would be a fair score for this drama.

Great chemistry between the leads. Really natural and so effortless.

Another Korean historical where the writer thinks their too clever and gives us another loose and hanging ending. It was still worth it but I wouldn't think of watching this again.

I'm rewatching this again and my opinion has not changed on his(ML) sister. She's pointless and annoying. The drama would have been better if she had been written out.

Crowned Clown is way better than this one. At least that one never had a problem of lingering on the same plot. This is why I'm reminded I never watch much Korean historical dramas. They seem to have an affinity of the plot with a conflicted Crown Prince against the old guard and present king. Of course that comes with never ending back and forth conflict, and passive aggressive behavior between him and the King. It's tiresome and ridiculous.

Too many overarching themes and subplots but they keep going back to the same conflict with the demented king and the ML. You know when a plot has runs its course dry, it's time to bury it and find something new. At episode 12 I was pretty much spaced out already with the same tired story about the old bat going apeshit on his grandson again. Never mind I had to endure watching some ridiculous plotting on to force another of the same conflict.

I've seen a lot of verbal diarrhea here but reading this one for the first time I can confidently say these could probably compete for top spot.
