Normally I would agree with you and it does have an element of that. I actually hate the way they make movies these days all dark and depressing (filming and storyline). But having said that, there are so many other elements that make this drama intriguing. The actors are really good and the costumes and scenery are excellent. I would say that it definitely has some serious and more mature content. But I am very drawn to this one somehow. There are lighter and hopeful elements also. I rated this 10 /10.

Have you seen
Tribes and Empires?
I watched it 2-1/2 times (second time with friends) before they abruptly closed Dramafever. So now I have to find it elsewhere.

Just finished this drama series for the second time. It's just as good as the first time I saw it! If you haven't seen it, you definitely should. Loved the storyline, really good actors, etc. I rated it 10 out of 10!

I love Chinese Dramas and watch everything I can. I know this one has good ratings, but I tried the first few episodes and I just can't get into it. It is not very realistic, even by magical, historical standards. I don't know what to say. Maybe I just need to watch more episodes, but that's rather disappointing. I just finished "Ever Night" and it was one of the best I've seen.

Does anyone know the name of the song in episode 59 at about 36 minutes? Also, do you know where I can purchase the OST for Ever Night? The music is sooo good! Thank you.

I am currently watching episode 28. It took until episode 3 to really get interested and now I like it (actors, costumes, plot so far) but I do have to say that it is a struggle because it seems so slow. I almost feel like it's slow motion and I just want to speed it up a notch or two. I am concerned that 42 more episodes are just going to drag. So far, there isn't a lot of sustainable action and the music is also very lagging.

I love watching “historical” type dramas and I really loved this one. I have watched “Tribes and Empires” 2 -1/2 times. I was forced to stop when DramaFever shut down. I was watching with some friends and we really want to see this again. Does anyone know where I can watch this drama now with English subs? Thanks so much!

He had such a good role in "Story of Yanxi Palace."

This is a very good drama. Much better than I expected. The costumes and sets were very well done and the actors were good also. The ending was good and sad in places but appropriate. I felt satisfied in the end and glad that I watched this. I would give this an 8.9 rating. I know some people don't like to watch long dramas, but I don't really mind. I'm going to be watching something anyway so as long as it keeps my interest, that's the most important thing. And I also just love watching the historical dramas. It's worth a watch--Enjoy!

I love your acting and want to see you in more dramas and movies, but I must say that I hated the devastating ending in “The Smile Has Left Your Eyes.”
You would have been so much more memorable if it had been a positive dramatic ending (not meaning a fluffy one).
Take care and I wish you all the best!

I really don’t know how anyone could “like “this ending. It was so sad, tragic and devastating. It may have fit with the overall drama in the end, but what’s to like?

I feel that TRAGEDY should always be listed as the first tag. I have a lot of respect for all the actors, but I would never have watched this if I knew before what it was about.
I want to watch shows that make my life better—there is already too much tragedy in this world. You see it every day on the news. I don’t want to watch dramas that leave me devastated at the end. That’s not how I want to spend the hours of my life. There needs to be more warnings before you start a drama of this type.
I confess that I do like feel-good stories and happy endings. I also like well-written, intriguing mysteries and melodramas. But there has to be hope in the end!

Thanks for the list, but it would really be great if you good add the drama rating next to the name so that I don't have to click on every single one. Thanks anyway.

I think you and h.a should mark your comments as spoilers. It's not fair to give away the ending to those who haven't finished the drama yet.

Unbelieveable ending--this drama was so good. I rate this 10 out of 10. Can't wait for season 2 but I hope it's the same actors or i will be very disappointed!

Good for a movie. Wished it was a drama with more plot development.

I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing that someone is going to buy them out, change the name, the pricing and add tons of advertising on the website--similar to what MyDramaList did. I'm really horrified by all the non-stop advertising there is on this website. I wish there was someone to compete with them (MyDramaList). It gets very tiring and annoying to try to avoid all the ads!

Sorry but I don't think that Viki is smart at all. When you get things for free while you are making money, it's just wrong! I understand some people just enjoy doing it but there is no real incentive to be consistent or accurate. My biggest complaint about Viki has been the quality of some of the subbing, although some are good. It seems that Viki thinks if they praise and advertise their free subbers thoughout the dramas that it will be enough to satisfy the subbers and the public. Not. I find if very annoying although I do appreciate the effort on the part of the actual subbers-it's just not a good business model!

The problem with the sites you listed--especially the bad kissasian website--is that they have a LOT of advertisements and really insulting, raunchy ads! You almost can't find out how to start the drama because you have to search through so much crap and hope you hit
the right icon! Seriously, it's not worth it to me!!

I have Netflix. There is no way that their selection of Asian dramas is larger than Dramafever's--I have looked for many of them. The other issue is that they aren't even clear pictures (on Netflix)--many of them are sub-par resolution. I have no idea why. It seems that as big as Netflix is, that they would be better. (Although recently I recall that there were icons to click on to go to Dramafever to watch the drama.) I wonder if Netflix could be influencing Dramafever's situation or maybe even planning to buy them out some way?
