Yeah surprisingly even though a lot of dramas don't do well in their homeland, they do exceptionally well internationally. I believe LYST did great internationally not so well in China, which sucks, because it was really good.

I hate that, that is why I refuse to trust Douban ratings as well. It is nothing but a popularity contest. I rate all dramas after I watch them. If I drop them, I rate based on what I watched, if I rate them at all. If I really like a drama I will rate each episode as well on MDL.

I agree with you. This is the first drama I have watched of Feng Shao Feng's since The Story of Ming Lan, cause all I see when I look at him is Gu Ting Ye, his performance in that is incomparable to any that he could do. I am also wondering, is his voice dubbed by someone else in this drama, cause it just seems so stoic (which I know is kind of his character), but I don't know if I really like it. I prefer the voice in TSoML. I actually like him in this role as well, it is why I am still watching it and the story is really good and intriguing, but I don't think anything will beat Gu Ting Ye for me.

I also agree with your assessment of the other actors as well.

Agree! I thought he was cool just the way he was. There isn't always room, imo, for several different love stories and with so few episodes in the series, we didn't need anything other than the main couples story. Today's episode just kind of brought me down, after enjoying a lot of the previous ones. I actually fast forward through a few scenes and just watched the important ones.

Yeah in Truth or Dare it was a bandit that the other bride married.

I just caught up with LofZ last night. I really am enjoying it.

I prefer the ones who gift me taco truck tacos, sushi, or chocolate. LOL!

Ugh if I was Qi Tian, I would just leave that whole mess of a family, especially if the grandmother isn't willing to listen.

If you like historical political dramas, The Legend of Zhouhua is really good. I have started any of the others yet.

exactly, I had to fast forward through their scenes together.

or the last 5 minutes of the entire drama (K Dramas are notorious for this, well more like get together then leave the country for several years, then meet again in the last 2 minutes of the episode)

Right, me too on both points....not quite sure about hating the grandma yet, I am hoping she has her own agenda in mind, but I don't like knowing that it looks like she knows what is going on, that part I hate.

Yeah I agree. The sudden wife of the Master was a bit of a weird story line. The reaction of the wife seemed a bit weird too, just my observation.

I was wondering about that. I wonder why she brought him in to handle the business if (the way it looks) she already knows what KSZ is doing.

The TJC and ZY kiss lasted awhile and looked way heated. I am absolutely loving her with Arthur Chen, they look like they have some amazing chemistry as well. I think she is going to be a talent to watch.

Looks hot!!! Can't wait to see that one.

I just watched the trailer after you suggested it. Looks good, and I really am liking Zhou Ye, loved her in BFTB.

Well according to the story he has been married twice before....so .... LOL

Yeah, I don't know if I like it or not. I am taking it as they skipped so many days so they have had a lot longer (a lot more time )than I think they have to fall in love (that we didn't see). I like both couples, but the 2nd couple's story is more my favorite right now. Also, being only 24 episodes and there are 2 main couples, to get all the story in, they probably wanted to get the "in love" part out of the way.

I haven't really even heard of You are Desire (or if I did, it didn't catch my interest), but I dropped Snow Eagle Lord as well. I have been so disappointed with Xu Kai's dramas lately. They haven't been able to keep my interest. I hope Wonderland of Love and As Beautiful As You will be better. Also really looking forward to his collab with Yang Zi.
