No way.

The ML in the novel is handsome but ruthless.

The ending is so tragic from the Crown Prince's best friend's perspective.

Her naivity killed her. The Crown Prince had always protected her from all dangers.

Yang Zi is a fine actress but Bai Lu and ZLS? No way because they are idol actresses, not trained actors.

However, all look too Oriental, not Turkic/ exotic like Xiao Feng.

Zhao Lushi isn't suitable for this role. She is too Oriental.

Zhnag Yuxi can't act. I tend to drop her drama after one episode.

No way!

But, I can't think of an actress who can play this role rather well.

Actually, I was shocked to see such raw scenes. As an ex-married woman, I feel inferior compared to these ladies.

They are porn actresses in rea life?

And vaping too! Bad advert!

She misunderstood Han Muzhi in Episodee 18. He was going to remove her from the stage when Qi Mei Ling walked past him to reach Luo Shu.

Muzhi knew he had lost Luo Shu on that day.

This is a good drama which is set during the Ming Dynasty.

I am actually impressed with this drama. Better than The Prisoner of Beauty. If you enjoy the Legend of Zang Hai and want something good to watch, this is the drama for you.

Good cast.

The romance is communicated by their facial expressions. This drama is packed with an awesome cast compared to other dramas such as The Prisoner of Beauty that was a recent hit.

A good 8.5 rating. I kept on wanting to watch another episode after another.

Qin Yi is a lunatic to begin with.

The evil ministers were exiled? I was waiting for them to get executed.

ML's family lost more than the Lius.

Han Muzhi and Liu Wan were together in the end.

She was sent there as part of Wuniang's punishment but each time she tried to redeem herself, he refused to let her go free because she turned him down all the time.

The two siblings at the yamen are nicknamed Da Ping and Bao Zi

Episode 18

Han Mu Zhi was going to pull her off the stage but Qi went ahead of him. So sad.

Episode 16 - Mu Zhi hugging Luo Shu following the mine rescue..

That was good acting.

My favourite scene.

Agree. I actually love this drama. Better than The Prisoner of Beauty.

It's a good drama as most of the actors are graduates from the most prestigious acting schools in China including th supporting cast.

The King becomes a tyrant in the end.

His son will be the next powerful monarch.

Will there a season 2?
