If you're into more serious historical -romance try out the C-Dramas : Rise of the phoenixes ,
Nirvana in fire ,
Love in Between and the K-Drama The crowned clown
Those 4 demand from the viewers to have a brain in order to watch them , have amazing plot , suspense, good romance.
I'm 25 and I can no longer tolerate childish fluffy dramas written for 14yo audience with zero plot and brainless female leads who overreact lol. xD

So I'm out of good dramas

Yeah. I wrote that comment 10 months ago. At that time there was no extra ep37. But I've watched it now and yeah .... we can finally say it was kind of happy ....but it still took him many years to reunite with his family so for his wife it wasn't that happy hehe xD
Definitely better ending than ep36 though!!

Besides that, I hate this logic in Chinese/Korean Historical dramas were they keep the main couple separated for years and years ... to prove that their love is "strong" lol. Just give us a happy ending damn it , no need for a bitter -sweat finale. And there are also dramas with completely depressing and sad ending (Rise of the phoenixes for example). I'm so addicted through, I can't stop watching them even if my heart gets broken repeatedly xD

They just released a trailer and as it turns out , it's an other rom-comedy with fluffy romance.
I was expecting a more serious kind of drama and I'm kind of disappointed now( well my mistake lol). There are sooooo many rom comedy historical dramas for the first half of 2020. I was hoping that this drama would be something different but it's not. It's so sad. I was waiting for this one for more than 5 months. I already know the deal here. Weak plot that is all over the place , naive female lead that can't stand up for herself and is good only for being saved , arrogant male lead , silly brainless scenarios .
Where are the well written dramas like Eternal Love and Pillow book :'(
The only thing we get lately is LOW budget rom-com historicals

It had many romance hints though. Maybe they'll make a second who knows.

Memorist ❤
Best Crime /mistery /suspense/ romance/supernatural

Hahah I feel you !! At the beginning episodes I gave it 10/10 and later on , not even 1/10 lol. What a disappointment. I hope this one will be well written!

I love both main actors and the plot sounds intruding !!! I can't wait. It's been ages since a good mistery /crime /romance series came out. The last one I enjoyed was the resent "Memorist" and "Stranger" season 1.
My only hope for this one is that he's not completely a psycho and that maybe he committed a murder for revenge or something.... I hope....lol

I like Wang Zi Jin (consort Jin) more than the Female Lead. Maybe because she's voiced from the same actress as Feng Jiu in TMOPB and Eternal love of dream lol ❤
Her role is so cute. The female lead on the other hand is a trained assasin so she's very bold.

Anyways this drama is similar with Princess Weiyoung. It has some politics (but not very convincing in my opinion). I can already see a few plot holes and all that assassination thing is a cliche. I had hopes that it'll be as good as Rise of the phoenixes but its plot is weak. But it's a high budget production so I'll watch it since I'm out of good Historicals atm.

And a 2nd trailer recently! Jeez I can't wait any longer xD

I believe none, because simply Rise of the phoenixes was a masterpiece lol. Well-written plot , realistic characters. No wonder the cross dressing was beautifully executed as well haha. Anyways ... if I have to pick one , the only drama that has a really successful transformation is "Love in Between". That's also a well written dramaby the way. It has thick plot and plenty of suspense. The male lead uses his brain to succeed and not his fists. The romance starts slowly but after ep5 it's burning! The enemies also are very intelligent and cunning and they require a lot of teamwork and smart strategies to be defeated. Rare thing for a wuxia nowadays lol xD

Those are all Raw episodes. I'm asking for English -subbed episodes buddy

This drama has amazing plot. It requires you to "think" and use your brain in order to watch it. The fight scenes are gorgeous but the best part is that the male protagonist always uses his brain to defeat his enemies and get out of difficult situations. It's a masterpiece. I wonder why it doesn't receive more attention. Maybe because people only like silly rom-com historicals with fluffy romances and full of comedy lol. Amazing dramas like this one don't even get subbed .....

Come on release it already !!! It's been ages since it got announced. It reminds me of "Journey of flower ". I just hope it won't be so tragic as Journey of flower was lol. I can't take so much sadness again in my life.

Thanks for your reply. Then I guess I'll just wait for more episodes to be uploaded so I can binge- watch this. xD
It's so sad that nice dramas like this one don't receive much attention and aren't getting translated, when other crappy dramas do.

If someone knows a way to watch this subbed please help. There are no English subs on any known site or on YouTube.
The only thing there is, is auto translation but that sucks and you totally miss the point of the dialogues

I can't find English subs on any site or YouTube channel.
If someone knows a way to watch this subbed , please help.

You're right . The romance here doesn't appear magically but it develops slowly and steady. This drama reminds me of "Rise of the Phoenixes" where Feng Zhiwei and Ning Yi fell for each other slowly and not from the 1rst ep lol ❤

Because they didn't casted Zhao Lu Si hahah. Of course I'm trying to be sarcastic here. It's just that I see Zhao lu si playing the supposed.... "cute" and "attractive" female lead everywhere lol. I don't like her at all but it seems that only hers Historical dramas gain attention! Many people don't care about good acting or good plot in historicals. They just wanna see fluffy rom-comedies and if possible with zhao lusi in it lol.
A drama without those elements will be non-existent nowadays

Good idea. I just hope that the English subs in Love in between aren't generated. Because if it has bad translation, it is hard for us ,the non-chinese speakers.

I was always avoiding yanxi palace because some ppl said it had a sad ending but since you consider it good, I'll definitely try it. Thanks for recommending it. It's very hard to find a good drama lately xD
