Great article, love it. I am a huge rewatcher. To quote you, when I rewatch it is because:

"When in a certain mood, in a hurry, a slump, or while having full fridge syndrome (plenty of food, nothing to eat; in dramaland: plenty of titles on the PTW, nothing to watch), starting something that is a safe bet may just loosen you up and help you figure out what you want to watch next."

I love that, cause it is definitely why I rewatch.

I mostly watch and rewatch Cdramas, but I do watch and rewatch Kdramas from time to time. Actually right now I have been going back and forth between the two.

Cdrama rewatch list: *yes I have a lot*
-The Story of Minglan (for some reason I can't get enough of watching this, even though it has several episodes..thank you FF button..it is still so great)
-Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms (Eternal Love)
-Nirvana in Fire
-Legend of Yun Xi
-The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion
-Listening Snow Tower
-Legend of Fuyao
-Go Go Squid (I love the OST for this one)
-Gank Your Heart
-The Sword and the Brocade
-and anything with Zhao LuSi in it

Kdrama rewatch list:
-The Heirs
-Her Private Life
-What's Wrong with Secretary Kim
-A Business Proposal (haven't rewatched this yet but will definitely be, because it was so great and I loved it)
-Cinderella and the Four Knights

There are several more that I have rewatched, but only once, the above I have rewatched several times. I do use the FF button a lot of slow scenes or to get to the good parts of the story.

Thanks again for this great article.

Is there actually one person from each of the six states, actually five, (because would there actually be somone from HCR's own state competing?) If that is the case, I wonder who they are sending from BFX's state? Her brother? From my understanding her brother and her are the only two kids of the king of Qingzhou (sp?)

A marquis actually has more freedom than a Prince. The Prince is confined to the palace, isn't allowed to have an army, etc. Where as it is different from a marquis. I think as someone mentioned, it basically kicks him out of the line up for Kingship though, but I wonder because the king demanded he marry Princess HCR to set his people free. I don't think it really is a promotion or demotion.

So the a**hole king is still around at episode 34, but he looks like his demise is coming then. I still have a strong feeling they are going to be rushing the last few episodes.

The fact that his father doesn't even freaking care about him, pisses me off more than anything. His father only got to be king of Yongzhou because of Lanxi's mother. You would think he would at least have a little respect for his son and his accomplishments. If he doesn't die soon, I am going to hate this series.

I can't get through episode 28. Nearly halfway through and I can't anymore.

yes, I agree. I know lots of people want happy endings etc. I would be ok if it wasn't a happy ending, just because of the story in general, but that ending was so incomplete, and the worst incompleteness I have ever seen, just like Joy of Life (they are suppose to be making a part 2 of JoL but I don't see that happening as it has been so long)

I actually haven't seen that one. I have only watched 3 of his works, Princess Agents, My Bargain Queen and now this one. I will have to check that out.

I have been wanting to watch Vincenzo. Is it good? I have heard good things about it.

I just finished rewatching Princess Agents. The first time I watched it, I really liked it, but I put off rewatching for so long, because of the ending. I hate the ending and I mean hate. When I was rewatching it, I forgot how cruel and vicious and bloody the series was. And again, I probably won't rewatch for a long time even though I like Zhao Li Ying a lot in this and Kenny Lin is really good as well. Also, I know a lot of people didn't like My Bargain Queen, but I thought it was cute. I would watch it again.

"Your good enough to be my buddy" hahaha. Loved the boat scene. Neither one of them were paddling right. I was wondering how did they get out there in the first place then, lol.

I agree. I actually haven't commented so much on a drama before. I am actually enjoying the nice atmosphere we have in the comments.

To kill time and to add to Diana Vnte's Chinese Actresses Post....
I have created a favorite Cdrama Actor's Post. Thinking about it, there are so many I didn't realize I like, so I kind of broke it up.

*I know there are several more I could mention, these are just the ones I personally like*

Korean Drama Actors: (not a very long list, as I mentioned I am not a huge KDrama watcher)

No particular order
Kim Woo Bin ~The Heirs
Lee Dong Wook ~Goblin, Tale of the Nine Tailed
Park Seo Joon ~What's Wrong with Secretary Kim
Lee Min Ho ~The Heirs, Boys Over Flowers
Kim Min Gue ~So I Married An Anti-Fan, A Business Proposal
Ahn Hyo Seop ~A Business Proposal

Also, wanted to add. I loved Arsenal Military Academy. Actually it was the first Republican Era Military drama I had watched and it was so good.

I agree. I actually haven't watched any Costume K dramas. I like both costume and modern in Cdramas. Usually I will go on costume drama spur and that is all I watch, then I have to watch a few modern ones to break it up.

Very good list, mine would be as follows:

Zhao Lusi (she is so good in anything she does)
Bai Lu (same as yours, will add Love is Sweet and The Legends)
Seven Tan (Under the Power, The Sword and the Brocade, just to name a few)
Zhao Liying (everything she has done)
Dilraba (The Flame's Daughter, Eternal Love of Dream, YAMG, TLB, Love Designer)
Yang Mi (anything she is in)
Li Qin (The Wolf, The Song of Glory, she reminds a lot of Bai Lu at times)
Sun Yi (Because of Meeting You, Twisted Fate of Love)
Song Zuer (Legally Romance, To Fly with You)
Crystal Yuan (Listening Snow Tower)

Edit: forgot to add a few, who I like to watch as well:
Yang Zi (Go Go Squid)
Tiffany Tang (Diamond Lover, The Princess Wei Young, My Sunshine
Ju Jing Yi (Legend of Yun Xi, Rebirth for You, Mr. Swimmer, In Class of Her Own, TBoRP, etc.)
Gulnezer Bextiyar (Weaving a Tale of Love)
Sandra Ma (Oh My General, Love Me If You Dare, You are My Hero)

Honorable mention: NiNi (same as yours Rise of the Phoenixes)

Those would be my top actresses, I would watch. Now there are several I wouldn't mind watching, but I could take them or leave them.

I don't watch a lot of Korean Dramas but the few I have watched I like the following:

Kim Se Jeong (A Business Proposal, School 2017)
Park Shin Hye (The Heirs, really liked that drama)
Park Min Young (What's wrong with Secretary Kim, Her Private Life)

All I know with all that is left, I feel like these last 14 episodes may be rushed. There seems to be so many stories left to finish and plots to uncover for only 14 episodes.

I am wondering too. I wonder after BFX and HFX come together to battle HC if after they do that fight if those 3 will have to join forces to fight against YWY? Cause I think YWY has his own agenda even greater than HC's.

I love when Zhong Li is giving him romance advice. Probably some of my favorite moments.

I was wondering if that was a real word or a mistake by the subtitles. Lol thank you for the clarification.
