I am taking a breather. I started ep 1 on Wed and am now on ep 20. I presume ep 25- 30 will air this weekend.
I will stop after episode 30 and wait for ep 40 to air. Plus not come here and have accidental spoilers.
In summary, the male lead is clever but accidentally lucky? I still don't know why the 1st teacher decided to immolate himself as a sacrifice for the story. I don't see why Gao Ming is invested in Shinu.
Plus I thought this was a straightforward revenge drama but I suddenly have zombies.
There is no romance. I have no clue why Ziang Antu is suddenly interested in him romantically before the Ghost festival. And honestly? Mini gerberas 1600 years ago?
I still find it interesting and its been very smooth watching before I waited to start.
I now have to allocate time to finish off:
- Prisoner of Beauty. I stopped at ep 26. - Youthful Glory. Its brainless so I am just staring at intense Song Wei Long. I cannot even remember his character's name. He is not very charismatic as a character. The romance is insipid. Still watchable.
- The haunted palace. I have 4 episodes before this weekend. - the Kang Haneul drama. There is nothing new plot- wise from other dramas but I like KHN so brainlessly watching.
- the Eagle Brothers. I like the 1st couple and last couple and one always needs a weekend drama.
-Trying to find time because I heard its good. The new Park Boyoung drama.
What else did I miss? Any dramas to recommend? I mean I have nothing to watch after The Legend of Zang Hai ends next week. Then Prisoner of Beauty has ended- no spoilers please as I have kept away from the site to avoid knowing who died.
I usually have a mild romance drama on standby if I am really bored. There is that TCM Dr and the hotel staff romance. See? I watched it and still can't remember the name. I have to find the main actor- he's in many dramas then look at his film list. I am only rewatching that because he boils a lot of medicinal soups.
I can watch Xiao Zhan list the periodic table, do multiplications, recite the ingredient list for Chinese dessert so I am happy to see him. I watched the female actress last drama. Was it Blossom? The one where she was the granddaughter. The drama was fine. The main lead was meh.
I've been very distracted by the long sleeves on the men. I keep thinking Zang Hai was either going to set himself on fire with those sleeves, dirty his top on the roof or something.
I really want to know why the writer spent so much time on the story on the Gui Seal. This is not a fantasy drama is it? I just scrolled up. However this has been a revenge drama that is not dealing with actual revenge. Yet.
I keep waiting for some big or unexpected plot reveal. I don't even know if Xiang Antu is sneaking off from the palace or how she is able to spend so much time in Zhen Tower.
Hey if you guys are going to talk about people dying in the upcoming episodes can you put it under spoilers?
Like honestly who wants to know what now? Wait till it happens and still spoiler until at least the rest of us watch.
You all know killing off anyone is not nice. And I just popped by the last 5 minutes and I see 2 spoilers already about upcoming tragedies.
Like really. I wish I can spoil your ending for a 36 episode drama. What do you guys gain from it? People who won't mind can read it. Those of us who will skip spoiler posts.
No. Illegal streaming site doesn't earn the original production house money. So we can get more dramas.
So yeah... no. I am actually following some dramas on the viki website.
The drama's popularity and ratings comes from profits from licensing sales to viki which tracks traffic. Same as Netflix shows from S Korea and China. Or the actual WeTV or iqiyi sites etc.
Illegal streaming sites profits goes to the site. Doesn't give the actors any surge in popularity officially.
I saw it advertised as a Comedy Drama, so I went in not expecting realism to begin with and it worked. My favorite…
I don't watch all the recommended stuff. Resident playbook and trauma call were my medical dramas after a long drought. I am watching Eagle Brothers and Chinese dramas. My brain has no space for serious dramas. I have too many work projects.
Dokgo Tak is just a harmless schoolyard bully pest.
I also haven't watched the 2 dramas you mentioned. Will check it out. Thanks.
I also don't read Chinese. Thanks for that.
I remembered that she bought it. However I don't know whether she needed to still return as a Princess as a hostage?
Either way... I have working since I posted and won't have time now to see it tonight as I will be back late. I will see what happens.
I am not organised enough to categorised the 3 actual killers vs the 3 masterminds.
I will stop after episode 30 and wait for ep 40 to air. Plus not come here and have accidental spoilers.

What's different? Is it because of good acting? And that its not OTT.
I am actually enjoying watching the schemes unravel.
The evil characters are so full of schemes that's its interesting to watch.
I am definitely not watching it now until ep 36 airs. I stopped at ep 29. This drama is better if I watch about 10 episodes at a time.
Can someone describe the ending to me please?
He dies. From poisoning. She moves on.
Is that it?

If you're going to post these sort of things can you put it under spoilers? There are some of us who are holding off and it spoils my anticipation

All those lucky viewers who will watch this once this drama ends.
However I don't know how I missed the confession in ep 26.
By the way it looks to be heading towards an epic finale.
