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.

Yeah I watched it today and yes it is. Now I understand it all, well sort of, who is KSZ to them? I understand the Grandma brought him in (because our ML is "sick"), but is he biologically related? He calls her grandma, but most all call him by his name.

I am currently watching:
Wrong Carriage, Right Groom
The Legend of Zhuohua (which is surprisingly good, because I have such a hard time getting over Feng Shao Feng playing Gu Ting Ye in The Story of Ming Lan, that this is the first drama I have watched him in since TSoML)

I will start Xiao Zhan's new drama, but I am waiting for a lot of other dramas that are costume. I haven't seen a modern drama right now or coming up that looks interesting. I do need to catch up on my K Dramas though, I am so behind on those. ( I did finish King the Land which was pretty good, very cliche though)

Yes I should do that. :)

I wish they would hurry up and show The Last Immortal. I am going through ZLS withdrawals. LOL. I have to re watch all her previous works and her variety shows, lol. I am kidding there quite a few xianxias I am looking forward to:

The Last Immortal
Fox Spirit Matchmaker
The Demon Hunter's Romance
Sword and Fairy
Tiger and Crane
The Legend of Shen Li

You can always re watch! I personally think it was a great and fitting end.

lol yes!!!

Final Thoughts:

So many mixed emotions. I am very happy with the end. I know this deviated from the original source material quite a bit, but not having read the original source, I thoroughly enjoyed this drama. There are a few moments that could have been done better, but they were very minimal.

Overall, the compilation of everyone's talent has made this one of my favorite xianxia dramas in a long time. The acting by all cast was really well done. No matter who got how much screen time, they all did their jobs well. The costume and make up was probably some of the best I have ever seen in any xianxia drama. They were done so phenomenally well that I am amazed, but when you have beautiful canvases to work with it makes it easy. There were a few misses with background visuals, but overall it was stunningly beautiful. The story was amazing and I enjoyed every aspect, this coming from someone who doesn't like body swapping and still enjoyed that moment among all the many wonderful lives and tribulation they went through.

Definitely rating it a 10 because I loved it and can't wait to re watch it again. Looking forward to both main leads next projects.
