I like it. But I like everything from the Northern Song anyway. I am not a fan of Yang Chao Yue. Also, Meng Zi Yi's dubbing bothers me. I also wish that they would use less Heng Dian as the landscape doesn't match northern China. As for fighting scene choreography, I think we have seen everything already. It is difficult to come up with something new.

It took me five years to finish it. I had stopped watching it because it was such crap. But then comes 2022 it has become watchable compared to new dramas.

Since there are no good new shows I have to watch old ones. This one is good!

It is not an easy watching. I felt I was watching a Chinese version of Doctor Faustus. But it has one of the best love stories in cdramas. I even named my cat Huan Huan after the main character.

I am truly disappointed with Yang Yang's acting. He shows no spirit. Despite the bad script and cheap production he should be more professional and do a better job for the huge amount of money he got for this role. I wish he put half of Lin Dong in this role and it would be enough for a passing grade. Zhao Lusi met my expectations which were pretty low. I still think her best acting was in Untouchable Lovers. I will never forget her as Ma Xueyun. Just like Li Yifeng in Mirror: Twin Cities, Yang Yang is responsible for the low quality of this show. I am not even bothered by the inflated rating of this show, people like to watch Yang Yang even if the drama is pure propaganda. But when I am watching him here his face is telling me, Get me out of here. Is this really the end of the wuxia genre? I don't want to watch remakes of old classics. Xianxia shows are boring, one can predict everything after half an episode. Xuanxia relies heavily on CGI. It has to be top-notch to be watchable. I can already see that I am not going to be happy with Yang Zi in Immortal Samsara. If only she put half the effort Yang Mi did in Pearl Eclipse.

How can villains be so inept? I am too old to watch a PG-7 drama. I wish this drama were airing at the same time as Royal Nirvana. I would have taken the latter as a joke instead of being depressed. On the other hand, we would learn that regarding production, cinematography, and acting Who Rules the World is really a low-quality drama.

I envy you that you can still enjoy it. I am getting bored. This is the fourth drama I am watching Kenny Lin playing a possessive and abusive man. Maybe he is not acting. Maybe he is somebody like that. That's why it didn't work out with Wang Likun. Maybe he should just stick with Mark Chao instead.

Skip to episode 30, finish the show. you will learn everything and miss all the crap.

Surprise! The douban rating is going up. It is a 7.9 now. Soon it will be better than MDL.

Being too smart is sometimes detrimental. The tragic ending was unavoidable. I am glad that they didn't pull some illogical tricks to please the sentimental audience. The douban rating is holding up which means that those few people who decided to watch it accepted the ill fate of the leading character. And people who rated it low after a couple of episodes shouldn't have been rating it at all.

The only thing we know from history is that Li Yan is going to be the loser. Everything else is wide open. I hope the ending won't piss off people who are too emotionally involved in this drama. The douban rating of 7.7 is less than what I would give it but I expect that many people are still waiting for tomorrow to cast their vote. It can change significantly, although traditionally it is always to the downside.

Why do you care what the divine expert from Chongqing's film academy thinks? She would even teach Zhang Yimou how to take shots. The more unorthodox the shots are, the choppier editing is, the more it gets my attention. I am not bothered by modern dialogue since I am not Chinese. But I was bothered by recognizing so many faces at the beginning and I can understand that it may turn some people off. I also don't care about cliffhangers because one (of course, not me) can always read the book. In traditional spy stories cliffhangers are just a smokescreen because good guys always win. That is even more true in Chinese crime dramas. In this drama there are so many turncoats that I wouldn't be surprised if they switch alliance a few more times.

I cannot watch episode 18 on iQiyi either. Let me make a guess about how this will end. Li Yan will sabotage the next Northern expedition because of Angelababy. Wow, plastic surgeries are making history. Chen Gong will dispose of his two enemies. But Xun Xu is the smartest and he will kill Zhulong. But I don't think he will have the heart to kill Angelababy so maybe they will elope in the end.

I think that Zhulong has something to do with the bamboo flute. The flute is long and resembles a dragon and it is made of bamboo. Does this mean that Chen Gong is going to be the new Zhulong?

Chen Gong's father looks like Xiang Yu at Gaixia. I am still shocked at how fast everything was resolved. But Yang Yi mentioned zhijue so there must be a major twist coming. Also, why is there so much hatred towards Lu Yang? I love his movies.

The story is developing so fast. What are we going to watch for the last ten episodes?

Seven Tan is a very sweet lemon. The show is very light on substance but obviously entertaining. The ratings will come down once they recycle all standard tropes.

At the end of ten.
