Tbh, this is my all time favorite cdrama. It gives me a very serene and nice feeling, so much so I’ve watched it multiple times. I don’t have a plethora of words or witty remarks (which i wish i had) to describe how much i loved this drama, but i liked everything about this drama. It was also in this drama that i fell in love with Minglan's Di mu and was sooo happy to see her in pursuit of jade. Every actor/actress did their part well even if it was a cameo e.g. that doctor who was practically abducted by the ML in the beginning to go save Minglan's mom. Not that the drama was perfect, but overall, it delivered. Long as it may be, i enjoyed the storytelling. I'm yet to find a similar production these days and i guess that's why i tend to come back to it, just to heal my heart from all these idol dramas and whatnots being pushed on us nowadays. I really miss the days when costume cdramas were carefully crafted and you could see the labor of love put into the work. Similar productions i liked were: Rise of the phoenixes, Ruyi's royal love, nirvana in fire 1, story of Yanxi palace, Ming Dynasty(this is a special mention because i never got to finish it as the translation fumbled halfway through and i haven't been able to find decent eng subs since then). If someone has other recommendations, please share ( no rebel princess/love like the galaxy please)
I read the novel a few years back and i remember those characters very well. I look forward to seeing Bailu's potrayal of Ye Li. I hope the screenwriters don’t botch this up because Ye Li is one of the best FL I've ever come across. That’s why i could remember her story after so many years, it was that impressive. Basically, the author already provided a splendid story, so drama team, we await your presentation.
Wdym 1 person?in novel fml had split personality or what?
Thanks for clarifying. I just started the novel and saw nothing close to the synopsis so i was super confused. Now that know the drama kinda changed the plot, I'm at peace continuing with the novel
Really? She sounded different in her interviews so i had to ask. Well then, she has a good voice. I went to check her out in Wrong Carriage, Right Groom, and wo de tiān na!.....I immediately stopped watching 😆 🤣
Ignore everything I've said before -- this is one of the stupidest detective-themed dramas I've watched. I should…
Lol. You’ve suffered. Thank you for your hard work. I'm no longer interested after reading this, especially cuz the FL is involved. I barely made it through love of the divine tree cuz of her and promised myself not to go through that again. So thank you for this, you’ve saved a life 😆
Empress Ki, korean drama. Also Sealed with a Kiss, very toxic abusive possesive ML. Hawick Lau is superb in this
I remember Sealed with a Kiss. It was the first modern cdrama i watched. I think i was curious about Yang Mi's husband (now ex 😉 ) and i was floored cuz i didn't expect china would air such a drama. Lol. Forgive me, i was coming from romance drama world and was bamboozled by this, hence the shock.
If you’re wondering whether to tackle this drama, I'd strongly advise you to read PeachBlossomsGoddess' review first, as she is spot on. I watched this drama way back when i just got into cdramas. Like many of you, i didn't finish it. I think i only stuck for a while because of Deng Lun but i couldn't hold on. It was also the 1st and last time i met Yang Zi and I've never watched another show with her(actually i tried watching legend of the white snake just to give her a chance but....still no).
