There's a lot of Mulan type rehash these days. I'm pretty sure you would enjoy those kinds of ahistorical dramas.

I thought at first the ML was the previous emperor's son or brother but it looks like he is a nephew of the previous emperor.

Consort Xuan was a lot more likeable and relatable from what I remember in Blood of Youth than this wannabe Helen of Troy piece of t*rt.

This is possibly the most flower boys I've ever seen in one drama. Not that I'm complaining but it's very amusing.

They should have dropped all episodes at once so series would have been released completely before being ban.

I guess this is only for IQiyi international.

That last murder mystery got me wrecked. I don't think I've been as sad and touched since watching Goodbye My Princess ending. Great preview *cross fingers* to third season. Surely there is a third season!

The penultimate murder mystery left me unsatisfied because of the morally ambiguous resolution to the murder. The 2 ML have always carried themselves as honest, objective investigators and then all their principles were thrown out because they felt sorry and did a coverup on a vigilante crime.

This love line irked me to no end in season 1 but I have grown to accept it over time. It's something that I could ignore. This relationship felt unnecessary and contrived.

If you are only starting to watch this, don't go perusing the cast list as it reveals major spoilers on the identities of the culprits and personalities in the investigations.

Lu Ling Feng is back to being overbearing and stubborn in this first episodes. I think he might be even more arrogant now than when he was introduced.

I think the writers tried to make an equivalence between the FL grandfather's opposing the emperor early in the drama with her theatrical and absurd dramatic performance in the finale. What a laughable comparison. She just came off as ridiculous and full of herself.

You could almost forget that Shaoyao was ML sister and a member of the imperial family. She look like someone they pick up from the street and she remains that way entire drama. An extra character they inserted for the required second pairing. The 2nd ML they showed in the poster barely shows up and is only there for filler where his scene consists of a shouting match between him and his father.

The most Mary Sue character ever in cdramaland so damn perfect you'll always end up on the wrong side if you decide against her. One of the most laughable example is the FL picking up some illiterate country bumpkin who she turn into an accountant. Her poor aunt became the hapless spectator and the cautionary tale on always following what FL decides.

They spent more time in some baby bathing ritual while glossing over deaths of family members they dislike. WTH I know she was hateful but the eldest daughter of the family died such a shocking death and the family was so nonchalant about it. Both the ML father and his stepmother died and it was just like some random panhandler died, heck he didn't even inform his sister.

Can't wait. I've rewatch the first season a couple of times already. Hopefully we get interesting and fresh mysteries this season.

Did you received a Masters of Women Studies from Berkeley writing a thesis on the intersectionality of xianxia and the erotic undertones of Journey to the West. I'm pretty sure you got the highest scores.

More lies to continue your failed narrative. You continue to neglect the fact Japanese dramas have long-term defects that have not been addressed. That is why it has been left behind by many Asian countries. You can pat your back and self congratulate yourself your judgement is right but I can't be bothered to watch dramas from countries that haven't shown any improvement since the last millennium.

That's over the top. I don't think the Japanese did very well. Otherwise the people who watched those dramas would give them a higher score than what they have currently. I have not given them a rating as I only fast forwarded through them so it would not be fair to rate them. Your talking as if you were talking about universally acclaimed dramas, that's far from the truth.

Here is someone who will never like the Japanese original more over this one. Honestly I always prefer the foreign adaptations more than the Japanese adaptations of their own mangas. I really do not like the manic style, the short runtime and the crazy and abrupt transitions they do.
