Sorry, didn't care too much for this Drama Series. At first, it was interesting but then I got bored. I was more disappointed that Wei Yingluo and Fuca Fuheng did not end up with one another. This story went completely to the left and did not come back to being right. A man can lead a country but a woman can destroy it or should I say women when they want what they want in this piece. This drama series was not a true romance story, there was no action but only deceitful power hungry women wanting to be the Empress. The only storyline I liked in this piece is that Wei Yingluo was trying to find out who her sister's killer was. It took over 60 episodes and 25 years later to find out who. I couldn't take it anymore.

NOTE: I gave this a very low rating and I see others have given it a 10-star rating... so let me rewatch it. I feel that I still feel the same way about how the story ends. I think I will give it a 2nd chance.

Since I decided to watch this a 2nd time. Since I said it wasn't the cast's fault of this storyline, I gave them a 10 which brings my rating up to 7. I have changed my mind to watch it a 2nd time. I just can't! lol

The Scenery was Beautiful!

I rewatch and the ending was not very ending! I don't know if Sect Leader Li and Zhao Yao did come together at the end. When they were walking around and she said something about sealing the Wajun sword... I thought... yeah they are together. But not sure. The storyline throughout this whole drama series was great. Bai Lu has acting skills for sure. Her portrayal of Zhao Yao was very good, I mean really good. Xu Kal also took his character with his personality in making the character his own and very convincing. I applaud the two.

I loved the visual arts, cinematography, storyline, romance, and drama, and want to thank the main leads and supporting cast, the Directors, and the rest of the team of "The Legends" for this piece. The Chemistry between Xu Kai and Bai Lu was a match. I want to see more of these two in other movies or drama series.

Did see most of the behind scenes and you can see that Xu Kai is serious about the projects he is working on. Although, I'm glad to see him be playful at times.

NOTE: The rumors about Xu Kai are just rumors... I'm not going to believe the nonsense.

Mom and Son moment!

The 2nd movie that I watched with Wallace Chung and I sort of loved this one. The Martial Arts, Fantasy, Visual arts was not a perfect 10 but it was liked. The things I loved about this movie was, of course, is Wallace Chung! The fact that it showed the Mother and Son bond in this piece. I'm a mom of 3 sons so my love for each one and I have a saying "If it took me to save any of my sons in health or life circumstances that I would sacrifice my life for them... I would do it in a heartbeat". I felt this in the story line. I know the movie was released listed in 1976 or here it is 2012 but I am trying to catch up on some of these Chung movies to see if he had passion in acting as he did back when as he did in 2017 " General and I" and so far he does! Don't fool yourselves, I'm not going to be one of those obsessive fans but I love a great movie and movies are not great unless the actor is. I also read where Wallace Chung loves Martial Arts and so do I.

Wallace Chung, you gave it your all Bravo! AngelaBaby you were awesome!

Wallace Chung, you gave it your all Bravo! AngelaBaby you were awesome!

Another fantastic drama series. Wallace Chung, my first time viewing this actor and now he will be added to my Top 10 list. The chemistry between Wallace and AngelaBaby was on point. I believed their storyline romance. Again, the true meaning of what "Agape Love" is all about. This is the 4th drama that shows the definition of what Love is really about. The more I watch it, OMG my heart just melts. Legend of Fuyao and General and I are tied for first place in the Romance! Those kiss scenes, WOW just wow! Whoever said that AngelaBaby did not reciprocate those kisses... um tell me if your REAL husband was in the studio while these kisses were going on... would you reciprocate back? I think NOT. The actress, AngelaBaby, made up for it when Bie Ji lifted her up and kissed her in Episode 54.

Moving on... The visuals on this piece were awesome. I didn't see any flaws because I was too focused on the storyline. The other cast members also did a fantastic job. Thank you to the team of Producers, Writers, Visual, Music, Lighting, Scene Location, all of it! The music score "A Familiar Scenery" and "The Lone Flower" was the best! Again, Wallace Chung and AngelaBaby WOW! Thank you to the other couples that also did great. Sun Yizhou was also believable, their tears got me! Zou Yang, I just love you, you added that spice to some of the scenes you played in. The only problem I had with this is when Ping Ting met with Bie Jie's friend on a hill saying "We will meet again" in the last episode... um excuse me writers but you could have left that out! Why is it that screenwriters always have to put a second female into the mix? My goodness, Bie Jie only has a love for Ping Ting leave it alone! He is a ONE woman man! Thank you very much! Okay now moving on... so I rated the storyline at a 9 for that reason alone.

#1 NOTE: Wallace Chung, I must say puts himself into the character he plays especially in this drama project. I have been viewing his song list and interviews he does with various outlets in China... He is definitely a different person outside of the characters he played. But, I tell you what... When Wallace Chung looks at a woman romantically, I'm done! That's what an actor is all about... I would like to know how many times he has to go through one scene to get it right. That would be interesting.

#2 NOTE: I have a question why did AngelaBaby's real-life husband Huang Xiaoming want to be present during the kissing scenes? It seems like a message was given That just ruined it for me. It didn't ruin the storyline romance but ruined me from ever watching HX in a drama series. I know... I know... it's her husband... but husbands are supposed to have trust. BUT... I feel sorry for all the husbands whose wife co-stars as the #1 Main lead with Wallace Chung.

#3 NOTE: The hard work the cast members had to endure in the HEAT just to make this great movie, I thank all of you because you went through it because of your passion for acting and you did it for your fans. I commend and applaud you. AND those mosquitos uggh.

Overall, I can't get this movie out of my head... lol I'm on my 8th rewatch. Those who don't rate it a 10... umm... well... now, who would rate this a low rating of 4 or lower? Going to watch more of the BTS on youtube. Jealousy is on-screen and off-screen... wow. a 1-point rating seriously (husband maybe)!!!! I never witnessed a review that demeans one of the actors on set like she/he knew this actor personally. I was raised with my grandmother stating... if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all. It shows the type of person who demeans. smh. that's a low blow!

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.

SUICIDE IS NOT BEAUTIFUL!

I had told myself that I wouldn't watch it after episode 45 but I failed. There are several things I wished were done. I wish the writers let both the main characters "Crown Prince" and the "Crown Princess Consort" remember what they went through during the Danchi massacre after the Crown Princess Consort escaped. That they remove the Suicide at the end. The reasons are plentiful but in this Drama Series, in the end, they had Peng Xiao Ran performed suicide to twist with the blood circling her as if suicide is beautiful and felt that the writers deemed it okay. I am here to tell you that Suicide is not beautiful. I'm so emotionally broken, crying my eyes out uncontrollably as if this was a real story, The writers and producers of these dynamic Chinese Drama Series put their heart and soul into their work, and then there are the actors and actresses that put all of their passion on the screen... just wow! I am against suicide wholeheartedly! The world is gripped with suicide in mass numbers, in order for us to change the past when suicides were extremely high, we need to change the future in the prevention of suicide even if it is changing that type of reality for good on the big screen.

Above I rated my Rewatch Value to a 7.0 if the writers changed the ending to a happy ending or find a way for love to mend mistakes of the past... YES, I would definitely rewatch it. I feel that Chen Xing Xu and Peng Xiao Ran deserve awards, and love to see them both again in a Love, Romance, and Drama series with each other again, their chemistry was spot on. Kingone Wang did a phenomenal job as well.

Note: I did rewatch it and I still can't go to that last scene. It's because my family has gone through two family members who committed suicide. Suicide is not the answer to solving a problem and surely doesn't make peace between two factions. I will upgrade my rating because I have also watched Cheng Xing Xu and Peng Xiao Ran on the four or five segments of them being happy. Thank you for that!
