The storyline was okay and cute. The only that I didn't wrap my head around is that he kept disappearing in the last episode. I mean I wished the writer with the producers would make that last-minute where he didn't leave anymore. It kind of left me empty when he disappeared. I don't know if that was what the writers were trying to get their audience to feel. Not a good feeling. I guess I was just so into the storyline. Kim Soo Hyun who played Do Min Joon was great! Would love to see more of him. Jun Ji Hyun who played Cheon Song Yi wow, did her thing in the character she played. She didn't overdo the celebrity nonsense that I see all the time in America in the character she played. Thank you for that!

I just love Xu Kai in any part he plays. In reality, he really did great playing the main lead character. He showed me in this Chinese Drama that he can be humorous with his character and it is not overplayed! Bai Lu did very well having to play a male and female part and the love interest of two handsome men. Gao Yu Er played her evil character very well. Toby Lee was alright! The rest of the cast thank you for putting your personalities into this drama. The visuals, costume, and music team thanks!

I don't like military-style movies or drama I will make an exception on this one.

The storyline was great... I loved the outfits that Yin Zheng wore. I love those long jackets over some jeans. The twists and turns in the 2nd Season had me a little dizzy. The actor who played in General and I still played a not-so-good part in this piece. The only thing I didn't like there was a whole lot of crying by everyone! I loved how her twin sister came back but I wasn't fooled! I was somewhat confused for a minute... I had to rewind because I didn't know if she was dreaming again. lol fool me once but you can't fool me twice! Good job producers and Great job to the cast. Thank you!

The visual effects and the costumes were great. I'm glad that the women's hair was not out there, I mean OUT THERE! Thank you for that! A lot of sons for sure and most fell in love with (Cecilia Liu) Ma'ertai Ruo Xi . She only loved one but I think she teased a few! I feel that all the cast did great telling this story. I'm just glad there was not any catfighting concubines in this story. If me being born back in that time, I would be more scared of the concubines, consorts, Empress and so forth then the men! Those women were d a n g e r o u s! Overall, it was okay!

I can't blame the cast but I will blame the screenwriter(s). The actors all played their parts excellently to make this story believable but WHAT happened to the ending? What was that?

Shawn Dou is another actor I want to see more of. I love his personality and it shows in the character he played. I was very confused with this storyline at times but I won't go back to re-watch it. The visual effects were awesome with that alone I can give it a ten-point rating... but I won't. The other thing is the sound effects, I don't know... I tried to watch it on my phone, my desktop... it was still the same. Music over voice, bad... bad... bad! The costumes were also awesome. I wish I could give a better rating but that ending just threw me off.

I loved this movie with William Chan. The storyline is different than others that I have seen because of the added Visual Effects/Action/Fantasy of this piece. It was well done. If you haven't watched this movie you should pay attention to all of it. You can't turn an eye or blink. I'm just kidding. You better pause it if you have to leave from watching it. The music was on point. The Martial Art fighting scenes were above and beyond. This is a re-watch for me. Thank you to the writers, the acting team, producers, the music producers, the visual effects, the action team... and etc. Thank you! Thank you!

BTW: I have seen many forms of Genghis Khan so far for me this was more interesting.

This Drama Series had me focused. The only thing I felt was wrong was there was no chemistry between the two main characters, "Chen and Rong". It seems there was more chemistry between Chen and Luo Luo. Even though I felt it was more of a sister and brother relationship. That is the only reason why I didn't rate it higher. I feel that 9 is good enough. I did love the storyline. I loved Chen's character and the other character that I Loved was the Dragon. I don't know who thought of crystals rising from the head but that was a great visual. Thanking all the cast and the team of writers, producers, and such. Thank you, writers, for letting the Empress that she is a mom.

This was so good, but I hated that had to wait for episodes during that one break. There was a little slip-up but I didn't count that nor will I say what it was. I so love Xu Kai, he can't do any wrong... For Xu Kai to be so young as I said before, he definitely shows his maturity on screen. I just hope he doesn't lose his young self when off-screen. He is only 27 years of age. Have fun, Xu Kai, you only live once. Yang Mi, I really loved you in this present-day drama. I love Yang Mi in historical dramas! This had me laughing, and crying, so I showed my emotions and which is a good sign. I have to thank or applaud all the other actors/actresses for doing an awesome job. There is one outfit that I truly loved that Yang Mi wore and that is the black/white striped skirt and top. Yang Mi looks really great in that outfit. Thanking the rest of the Team for this drama.

I apologize... I said he was 24 but he is 27 years of age. I knew that... but I finished this drama after my nephew had passed. He is still young at 27. He is the age of my great-grandson'.

I think this is my first time watching a Thailand drama. First of all, I want to say that laws need to pass in these countries of Thailand and South Korea. Love is love, no matter how you perceive it. I love this drama for the reason that it appears normal, and it was normal. It had a storyline, and the actors and actresses who played their parts enjoyed it—the love of two people. Zee and Nunew were excellent in their acting skills. They did their thing to convince others that there is nothing wrong with this life. Everybody has the right to choose who they love. This drama shows how the parents can be accepting. So proud and thankful to the actors and actresses to bring awareness to same-sex marriage.

This was really good. It had fantasy and a lot of Martial Art and romance. There was a competition between two men and one woman which is unusual. I loved the costumes male and female. The storyline was great, I had no problem with it. The main lead is Huang Sheng Chi played the character role of Hua Yi Nan whom I only viewed in two other dramas. I want to see more of him. The main lead Zheng He Hui Zi played the character role of Lu Yue Er, and did a good job, the character was perky. She seems to be the type of person who had a lot of fun. This is the 2nd drama that I had viewed her in. I will be watching more from her. The visuals were perfect along with everything else. I loved it!

Some of you will disagree with me on this one but that's okay. Time travel dramas I do love but I hate if they are back n forth. This wasn't like that. It stayed true to the storyline. Please don't hate me for this but the character role in my opinion was not made for Gong Wan Yi. She may be a good actress but not for this storyline. Yang Ting Dong is an experienced actor so he did great playing Liu Ren Shen. Li Pei Yang, OMG, the red makeup was unnecessary for this character, he did an okay job portraying the evil person. I don't know how much the screenwriter had to cut but you can tell there was a lot cut out. Once you get past the first 3 episodes... the story balances itself out. It is because of all the actors and actresses who helped make it work. Don't take my word for it, just watch it and grab your own opinion.

I think we have been spoiled on some of the Eternal series... There are only 3 that love so far and this is not one of them but it is okay. I like some stories that tell about parallel worlds... but it was just okay for me. Xing Zhao Lin, I loved his acting in this.. he played a very strong character Mo Lian Cheng. The other actor I liked who played a support role is Alen Fang. his character is Mo Yan Cheng... All others did great... All-female royalty in this one which is a good idea... The Martial arts with swords were pretty good. One set was pretty awesome and that was the one with the pearl. Pretty Magical. Anyway, that's it.

Rewatch 2nd time

The first time I viewed this KDrama, there were some scenes I didn't like. I had to come back to rewatch and just totally focus on the storyline. My first time watching a drama series of story coming alive from the real world. Lee Jong Suk was so good and is one of my favorite actors. Another great kisser if I haven't said that already. Han Hyo Joo also did very well and was believable in her character. The two leads had me in tears. The art was awesome! I love these kinds of dramas, the parallel world, the fantasy, the visuals, it was all there. The father character, Kim Eui Sung, who played two characters, that was some really good acting. Lee Si Eon was fantastic. Thank you!

The story of twin brothers who separated at birth but grew up to be supreme martial artists... WoW! I wonder how many twins are separated at birth in the real world? The storyline is telling a story that happens all the time everywhere. This story is unique even it is fiction/fantasy Fraternal Twins at that. The first episode was oh my gosh... well you need to watch it.

Chen Zhe Yuan who is a young actor of 23 just starting in his acting career is amazing. I loved how he brought this character to life with humor and seriousness in his acting, he has so much energy and enthusiasm. Hu Yi Tian 26 another young actor did amazingly well too. His character is the very opposite of his co-star CZY. I'm impressed with both. I noticed there were a lot of actors who were over the age of 49 and was very happy to see that they are some of the best in the Chinese art of acting. The two main female stars Vicky Liang and Liang Jie also both young 23 and 25 portrayed their character as they should and did great.

The Visual, Fantasy, music, suspense, costumes, hairstyles, the set design was beautifully done. The Martial Art scenes were pretty awesome. The romance chemistry was not there but I thought Vicky Liang was the only one with good chemistry towards CZY but one-sided. I did not like the RAT! This was great all around... um... the ending though...

I really don't understand those who gave a low rating.

Another story that has to throw another woman into the mix. It would've been a great story without love interests or secrets! I guess that's part of life, isn't it? I'm glad Hans Zhang's character, for the way it was written, was very loyal to Shan Shan. The visuals were great, small little town, Big City... I loved the Fireworks and the countdown for New Year. I love the Happy Ending!

I want to give a shout-out to the writers for bringing awareness to transfusions in an emergency situation. Rare blood types are very rare but these days we have to be careful about donating blood if you are not healthy or you have a blood disorder that can't be seen by tests.
