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.

LOL, best scene ever. At the RV Park, they all rejected his calls. So funny.

Anyone else notice it seemed like he only had a plate of peanuts in front of him at the dinner table, while everyone else had a plate of food? I notice weird things. I think because I was trying to tune out his utter rudeness.

yes true.

I am waiting on good subs for The Blue Whisper. I really can't wait to watch it.

Oh and I almost forgot a huge one which was really popular toward the end of last year, beginning of this year. Sword Snow Stride. Not a lot of romance, actually hardly any, but the story is absolutely amazing.

if you like political dramas, a couple of my favorite are The Rise of the Phoenixes (really good) and Rebel Princess, also I really love The Story of Minglan (one of the few dramas I have watched multiple times, it is so good, the acting, production, story, everything is so well done) these do not have martial arts, but they are very well done. Also a couple of others, because I love Zhang Zhe Han and he is a great costume drama actor (although he is benched right now, hopefully not for long), watch Legend of Yun Xi and The Blooms of Ruyi Pavilion.

True, and the emperor seems a little shady anyway, by allowing YWY to send out fake empyrean stones/tablets (whatever they are).

I was thinking a secret army, because he has a secret identity which he probably would have gotten in trouble for if the king had of found out. ( I know the king is going to find out soon, but right now he doesn't know)

I was just curious, cause he hid Fountain Abode so well, that I am surprised he wouldn't be able to hide an army or keep them in secret somewhere. But yeah building the range at which Fountain Abode is, is definitely a feat.

I am surprised he (HFX/Lanxi) is just now starting to build his own army. You would think in all the 8 or 10 yrs of raising up Fountain Abode he would start gathering a mass of people or followers etc. Even recruiting or borrowing from the emperor seeing as how he is his uncle. I am actually quite surprised for someone who wants to rule the world he doesnt have more of a foothold in Dadong empire.

He is the nephew of the main emperor of Dadong. You would think his King father would treat him better and not be an ass or else he could suffer the wrath of the emperor. I am actually surprised Lanxi doesn't have more connections or reliabilty on the emperor. They made us think the emperor really loved his sister and would dote on his nephew.

I will add to those funds! Hell I will even serve as tribute to accomplish said cause.

Lol! He cheated at their little medical competition.
