Loving every single episode ! If only kdramas are more generous.

After coming from some serious dose of c-“drama” concoction, this is so hilariously enlightening.

It was a describable ride throughout 34 episodes …… for me it was flawless but it’s not without minute flaws lol QY taking the hit and leaving again (the MO is getting old and recycled a tad over) at such crucial precious time could have been substituted with a endearment scene that will be etched on our minds and we can all go and have a sweet dream and goodnight sleep.

Second ML Liu Riu Lin / QX stepped up from E27. He even broke out from his own role , E27 you see a different side going forward. It’s absolutely refreshing.

The whole journey of the drama was flawless until the parting scenes … I am not sure what to put it at … voluntary or acceptance from both parties. Can’t help feeling screenwriter killed the momentum. There are still plenty of plots, twist and turns ideas. Both already knew in their hearts of hearts they love each other. To use FL independent , dream of traveling and writing after coming such as long way together finally getting together is a tad lame.

Spot on ! Love your descriptions of the three casts, I almost roll of bed LOL

I can’t quite put a word to it if I was pleasantly surprise to see S3 is out … probably more like shock and awe love hate relationship surprise LOL jumping out of my bed I was excited thinking are they going to pull the rabbit off the hat this time round in S3. I was completely lost in E1 when I saw the replacement casts and thinking aloud … am I missing something out here , I couldn’t quite connect S3 from the “infamous S2” meaningless ending.

Is it just me feeling somehow the aesthetic enjoyment of the show with the original two ML Sa Hyun & Yoo Shin and stepmom Ye Hung decrease with the new replacement casts. One can’t help getting the vibes of a bad remake instead of a continuation new season.

Doesn’t have the same vibes without some of original main casts.

OMFG ! can’t believe my eyes when I click on dramacool. Shocked in disbelief lol what’s in store

Thank you … the historical part of the drama is the same era as Ming Dynasty with Tang Wei and Zhu Ya Wen. You might like to check out Zhu Zhang Ji character in Ming dynasty.

Spot on ! Absolutely agree on Yu Zheng’s production everything across the board appears to be the same MO.
Both Xu Kai and Wu Jin Yan got their big break from Yanxi Palace. For me even for them, they couldn’t break free from their own shadows after Yanxi Palace.

Is it just me seeing Yu Zheng’s DNA all over lol recycle casts from Court Lady and Song of Youth

Totally agree. For me Jeremy Tsui in Autumn Ballad is one of my favorite 3 ML, including Alex Zhou Yi Wei in Princess Rebel and Allen Ren Jialun in One and Only.

Momentum was great. The whole drama was perfect 10 up till QM in E21 scene was a tad trashy

This is insanely intense and explicit. Kudos ! This would be TX and JT scene of the century.

This drama is “Simply Indescribable.’’ Spot on casting and production, ! OST is hauntingly beautiful. Jeremy’s deep gaze is mesmerizing. Xiao Xin’s bright eyes speak volumes. The scene at the temple peak in E13, brings out the raw emotions … so pure with hope and sincerity.

For me, I find recaps helpful watching raw episodes
This must be the only drama I am still waiting patiently for subs lol and it’s so precious each time one episode is out

Wherever Jupiterrules goes LOL most of us must be from Mars.

A “rare” EPIC Season 1 finale in Chinese dramas …. befitting of Sword Snow Stride . The Casts are a CLASS ACT !
