The production quality of this one is so much better than other supposedly higher budget dramas with A-list actors like that train wreck Legend of Fei. The sets look realistic and well made and there are nice natural scenery. The pacing is great. I was worried they will not be able to fit the story in 32 episodes but I think they'll be able to base on how the story is developing.

I actually followed this drama up until episode 15 nearly a year ago and then put it on hold because Irene's character bugged me. I've been egging myself to finish this one and I've finally completed it after nearly a year. A very good college and sports drama.

Good thing they shaved several years of their real age in drama. Fifteen years is the limit for me after that it's pretty much mom level. Find Yourself did the age gap romance very well.

My dream pair from Legend of Chusen has come full circle. They are finally together.

Everytime FL appeared I thought she look like a passerby that showed up selling trinkets. She is always dress and made up like a flower girl when she's the princess consort of the second most powerful man in the empire. One thing that annoys me more than her pedestrian outfits is her not knowing how to hold her position and constantly need ML to defend her. I'm pretty sure with her position and the backing of the empress dowager she'd be able to stand up to her mother in law and especially to that childhood friend that pesters her husband.

Goodness, I highly doubt Zhao Lusi is at the level to complain being only second lead to Dilraba. Ditto to her fans that think after one hit web drama she is entitled to pick and choose projects as she pleases.

Great xianxia drama. It got a bit of Ashes of Love and Love and Redemption vibe going. Surprisingly good production level and the plot is moving logically. Overall a very enjoyable show thus far. This is my favorite fantasy drama of the year along with Douluo Continent. I just don't know how they are going to fit all the subplots and resolve this in 32 episodes. Maybe there is a season 2.

Xuanwu Gate Incident is a historical event. Li Shimin lead a coup that led to the death of the crown prince. He also forced his father to step down. This drama is a fictionalized account of the events of that period.

The second couple was cute when it started until their weak relationship naturally grew apart. I actually like them in the beginning but got tired of their stale and pointless relationship. At least the main leads were still in love with each other despite the silly trope device inserted to warrant a good ending. I fail to see that kind of logic should apply to the second couple. I feel like they were just going in circles getting nowhere. They were irritating and a waste of space in the last third of the drama.

The separation arc was the writers having zero creativity. It was a chore finishing it after that. Not very well thought out IMO. It made the FL look like someone who just run away from her problems and responsibilities, leaving ML behind. The second couple was cute in the beginning but their relationship in the second part already look dead in the water and it had long been stale. Over all the first half was enjoyable. Afterwards it just turn into a corporate revenge drama, the FL going crazy and developing a wrong idea of sacrifice and of course the inevitable reunion. If not for the kid then getting back together should have been shelved.

How incredibly small time, petty and cringy. I would never expect to read such tripe and shallowness but here we are.

This will probably air after You're My Hero. I was more excited for this one but YAMH has been great so far. I think Li Qin and Johnny look like a well matched couple.

LOL Another one who sees all the world through the tinted lenses of modern ideals. Polygamy was standard practice among the nobility and royalty of China for most of its history even until recently. I don't know about you but almost every single palace drama is that way. Imagine my surprise seeing someone losing their mind because ML is bedding every pretty girl he sees. Harem dramas are like that just in case you don't know. There is no us against the world, Romeo and Juliet, die for each other kind of love. That's just unrealistic and honestly ridiculous in the context of the period.

That Tang Ping arc is so overdone. I'm pretty sure they could have move the story forward without her constant presence. It got tiresome really quickly. I'm waiting for more scenes of second couple and then they inevitably return to having that girl show up again. 无聊！

Gulinazha looks stunning in costume as usual. I really want to see more of her in these kinds of historical dramas.

It's ridiculous how a princess consort goes out drinking with another man and use that as plot service to incite jealousy from ML and advance their relationship. The writer certainly lack ideas or sense for that matter. The story obviously does not conform to historical traditions or authenticity. A lot of people find the 2nd ML cute but he is a psycho and someone who obviously can't take the hint he's chasing a married woman.

They should have cast someone around Irene Song's height if they plan to insert height jokes. A girl who is 5'6 or 5'7 is not short. That's taller than the average woman in most of the world except for some European countries.

Thank goodness there is a better Bai Jingting drama after that train wreck Irreplaceable Love. I just recently dropped that one just a few episodes from the end. It was that bad. That was my first drama from him and I really like his acting despite the terrible plot and storyline. I like this one so much better. Great intro and hook on the first episode. Let's hope they keep this quality to the end. I'm a sucker for this kind of officer/doctor drama.

What a trash drama this has turned into and that's being kind. It was about 7.5 even 8 for 3/4 or a third of the way then basically went on a tailspin in the last dozen episodes. A train wreck.

Fast forwarded scenes until I got to episode 6 and then had to drop it. FL was feisty and assertive in the beginning but came back and turn into a doormat. Sorry but ML, his mother and her maids should all be lock up in a barn and then set it on fire. Absolutely horrible characters. Love Mark in KC and his hate there was convincing and understandable however his character here has zero reasons to act like some vengeful and scorned woman hell bent on revenge. It would have been fine if it was only him but to actually have his entire household bully FL is just plain low and petty. This is slap and kiss at its worst.
