I always love Qian's expressions (or is it lack thereof, lol)

The leaf blowing crew was the best part, I about died.

That's how I like it, no expectations or disappointments if certain people don't play the role like intended or the script isn't following the novel, etc. I love original screenplays.

Check out Noble Aspirations with Yang Zi and Zhao Li Ying, it was really good. It had a pretty huge cast.

LOL. Best quote of the day! Fang Yi Lun is killing it in this role.

The contrast of the black and red was nice to watch. The whole fight sequence was well choreographed. The only thing I found a bit unnecessary was the poses (pauses) for the camera effect.

I am glad they are serious when they need to be and then the bits of comedy to lighten the mood, it really balances it all out.

I really like her and I hope that it is all misinformation or will get taken care of. She has two other dramas that were in the works that I wanted to see as well.

Yes!! I am really liking LYN here (definitely staying for him) and now it even makes me more upset with Song Zu'er and the fact I will probably never see The Prisoner of Beauty. But, at least I will get to see him with ZLS again, which I am so excited about. But yes this is definitely a very unique and different character for Allen Fang and I am loving it.

The forced kissed didn't bother that much at first, except I think she should have stopped when he tried pushing her away. The pictures on the wall...my first thought was creepy stalker. It reminded me of all the detective shows I watch where they go into these people's apartments and see "shrines" or "tons of pictures" of a person they were stalking etc.

I am hoping since it is only 24 episodes that they won't drag this out very much longer. I loved the elevator scene where he told her it was his turn to pursue her. If she would have just came out in the beginning and told him all the reasons she really liked him, instead of just saying he was hot, his money, etc. She inner monologued it on her way back into his office before she kissed him, so why she couldn't come out and just say the words out loud, just is aggravating. He probably wouldn't have initially rejected her, cause personally you could already tell he liked her.

yes, episode 5 between them was quite comical

SOKP is not highly overrated. The high praise and good reviews are well deserved. It does take until about episode 3 to really get into it and know the characters, but once you do, you can't stop watching it. The political aspects of it are so engaging and a bit different from the normal political strife you see portrayed. You are so caught up in the story that you don't realize you miss the romance (which is very light and not until much later in the drama, but seriously you won't miss it). The romantic scenes that are shown are on fire and very intense. The acting is absolutely on point. I think it has to be ZLH's best work. He does this character justice and portrayed it so well. Absolutely give it a shot.

I agree about the Princess. I hope she does become the ruler of Wu or some other faction. It seems as bit of foreshadowing here so far.

If you ever watched Disney/Pixar's The Incredibles, Edna's (super hero costume maker) famous quote, "No Capes!"

Right!?! OMG!! I thought I originally came here for LYN, but Allen Fang has basically stolen the show for me, LOL!!! The subtle comedy in this drama is absolutely outstanding and I am loving every bit of it.

Episode 5 is the best. I am going to watch this episode over and over.

I came here to say that exact same thing. Ep. 5 is the best I don't know if they can top that episode, lol.

His entrance in the drama is my favorite so far. I am at the end of episode 3 right now and although he has only been on screen for me for a few minutes, I am absolutely loving his role here.

At the almost end of episode 3, and I am dying. The way Shi San looked at NYZ, was so funny, lol. This looks like a perfect role for Alen Fang. Looking forward to more, I can't wait.
Now on to finish the rest of today's episodes.
