I thought the same. Anything set after 1949 and before the end of the Cultural Revolution is a big no no for me. It will reek of Maoist propaganda.

Go Kyung Pyo's character is a certified jinx both in the past and the present.

What an incredibly asinine and pointless question. The answer is of course no. Any half wit would know that since this is distinct work. Obviously the poster just raised this gossip because of lingering hatred of actor in said scandal.

I've only ever seen Bai Bai He in Love Is Not Blind. A funny and endearing movie. This was the film that made her a star in China.

Mango TV historicals epitomize campy and cheap production and style. I find their cinematography to be mostly an afterthought, the costumes recycled from one drama to another, the dubbing to be atrocious, etc. I think they do fine in modern dramas and I have watched many that I enjoyed. However their low production budget really shows their limit in historical dramas. Aside from The Sleepless Princess, I don't think I can name another good historical from Mango TV with a good story and equally decent production.

In the poster Wu Lei looks like Song Wei Long.

Goodness why do you need to even ask that. She's way better than Zhao Lu Si, that one is clear. Yang Mi btw is the lead in the the definitive xianxia drama Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms.

So Yang Mi is playing Bai Qian again?

Esther's voice is really distinctive. I first heard it I've Fallen For You and you can tell right away it's her real voice.

Releasing private correspondence and messages isn't intelligent or rational behavior. This is not a legal affair. Has a crime been committed for her to divulge personal information like that. I'm pretty sure no police will be knocking on Xu Kaicheng's door because he may or may not have a roving eye.

She's not the wife honey. Unless someone is engaged or married, I fail to see why anyone would be shock when something like this happens. There is really nothing more that can be said. The other party should get the drift and move on. This is completely ridiculous behavior, even in those who are married going through these kinds of problem. Ever heard of discretion, privacy and being prudent? Someone needs to slap that "girlfriend" possibly ex now to a cold and hard reality.

So some scorned woman out for revenge dragged Gulinazha into her relationship troubles with her boyfriend? You'd think she was the legal wife or something blowing up this ridiculous scandal.

In episode 2 the leads are in some border town, actually an SAR which means it's part of China, but with people that look like they are Burmese. Yet somehow there are a lot of English signs and weirdly banner signs in Dutch.

Mkvdrama.org has 1080p episodes that are much clearer than Dramacool though I still would recommend using the official channels.

I love PXR but I have no interest in watching dramas with heavy CCP propaganda and themes.

I would like to see the second male leads from Long Ballad in this one Liu Yu Ning as the childhood sweetheart and Alen Fang as her arranged husband.

Kang Tae Oh looks so good in sageuk dramas. He was not very palatable in Tale of Nokdu but his performance was mesmerizing and his cheeky smile was killer.

The King here deserves to be pulled to pieces. An absolute piece of garbage and a paranoid psycho.

Absolute shit show of a drama. I would rate the political plot of this drama as zero. I would give it a negative if I could. At episode 15, there is absolutely no development in this aspect. The useless ML has achieved a grand total of zero success in the royal court. He walks into traps and gets embroiled in the conspiracies of his opponents in the court and yet can't catch a single damn criminal.

Finally seeing this for the first time and this is complete thrash when you compare it to the brilliance of Scarlet Heart which came out around the same time. This is a mish mash of every terrible Korean court drama plot.

Let's see the checklist:
1. Weakass and useless rulers.
2. Evil, powerful and treacherous ministers.
3. Male lead with grand and ambitious plans for the country but he is a useless puppet. See number 1.
4. Cheesy romance which is even worst than tipid chemistry.
5. Romeo and Juliet plot
6. Intelligent, mysterious, courageous and grounded 2nd leads who are somehow in love with the leads(It's good except for the part where they have unrequited love for the ML and FL)
7. And so on
