Just finished my rewatch. This drama is still 10/10 for me. Hahah 😂😂.

It's been almost a year?!!! Time flies yet this drama still is unbeatable in so many ways!

Hahaha yet it was SZE who won an acting award, not popularity award, for this role and not LYN. In China, SZE is well praised for her acting even way before this drama, so not sure what the dislike is all about. Even LYN praises her acting. Lol I've seen very very little complaints from the general public criticizing SZE's acting in here from both the domestic and international sides. Besides people who just personally don't like her or are fans of others trying to put her down, she rarely gets criticized for her acting even that one drama with Steven, she was wisely praised. But it happens, you're entitled to your opinion.

She's is a bit too skinny right now but her face looks fine on camera. I hope she gains some weight when she films an idol modern drama.

We all have different opinions. I, for one, didn't enjoy POJ. It was super boring especially the last 10 episodes where the storyline went downhill.

Ahhhh thank you!

Is fast track in an hour??!

Thank you to all the viewers for making this thread so lively recently, both good and negative reviews. All of us are going to have different expectations.

TPOB is the TOP 3 dramas that made a lot of money and splash for Tencent in 2025, so congrattsss! This drama, despite minor hiccups, remains well loved and popular.

Time sure flies! It's almost a full year since it aired! :)

A lot of the negative reviews come from people's expectations. Each to their own. The majority still find this drama soooo good thus is the TOP 3 money making dramas of 2025 for Tencent.

I agree. This was supposed to be a FL centric drama but they rewrote it to balance out both leads to be equal.

This drama got my heart from the get go, the first scene, how they introduced the leads, the tone, and plot was epic already.

Yup, such good script.

I hope you finished it already! It's soo good.

Yas, still stuck here after almost a year.

I agree. ZYR kills it in here like never before, too bad, BSE acts the same as she has in all previous dramas, actually, worse, like you said. She has one face in here: that big eyed look for every scene.

Haha it's hard to act like adults when you like your enemy but can't admit your feelings. 😂

Aw, so happy you enjoyed it so much.

End of Episode 22.

It's a very well written drama.

Whoa. First of all, it's in your own opinion that all warlords are horrific people who kill, kill, kill, with no brains or compassion for people. Secondly, Wei Shao is a ruler, who won back his city, Xindu. Those are his people, not enemies or opponents. He enters Panyi as their new ruler also, so they're his citizens too. Why would he plunge and loot Panyi when he's way smarter than that and dispersed their resources, peacefully, to the starving Xindu citizens? A lot of wise warlords, if they could, would rather seize a city with no casualties and fighting, so I have no idea what you're talking about. Every drama tells a different story. Wei Shao is a ruler who loves the people and the only reason why he has been at war is to take back the cities that were stolen from them because his people are under tyrant regimes. His other mission is to expand the construction of canals to all the land, breaking borders, so that people wouldn't starve no matter which state they reside in. Even if he hadn't married Manman and proceeded with his plans of conquering Kangjun by force, he'd kill the Qiaos for revenge, but wouldn't massacre the entire city like Li Su. The writers make it clear that Wei Shao is not a heartless ruler. I don't see anything ridiculous or inaccurate about that. Not every ruler or warlord killed and burnt entire cities. There were some that assimilated by choice in history. Wei Shao had reasons why he did that to Manman. It's not that complex to understand but if it really bothers you all that much, then this drama may not be your cup of tea. It'll make you happier if you skip it.
