what was your number one? I also discovered this a few mos ago. Enjoyed him in Moonshine and Valentine and then worked backward to this, which was amazing. Looking fwd to his next role.

This drama was A+. Though, I too thought he died and was sick to my stomach, but now I am breathing better after reading your comments and just pining for an S2. I still wish there was a kiss or something to hold me over. Yep, I am shallow that way. I also wish there were just plain less airtime with Cha Luo in these last eps. Thats my only beef with this show. All I kept looking at was how much time was left in the eps when she was carrying on in her standard psychotic way. I would rather have had more time with Chang An, of course, before the show's departure.

Here! Here! Its all about choices....

True. He looks so adult in the drama. And, well, in real life he is boyish...lol...at the age of 23. He's got such interesting looks, I can't wait to keep watching him in drama after drama.

Phew, glad I'm not the only one. I will circle back!

I will just say this, this is my number one Korean melodrama of all time. That's all. Bye. :D

Just bumped into this series when researching a reference to it in the JDrama Ossan's Love. Sounds intriguing. Adding to PTW. Here's a good article about the show describing why its successful in Japan and internationally: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44544439

Cool photo session with the 2 leads....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYT5e5D_2UE

its a good watch...! I really think so many of the actors are strong, including all 3 ML's. The 2nd lead in this really has been given some incredible scenes and performed them so well. I loved the guy with a mask recently in Siege in Fog too. Glad to see them giving time to that role too.

Please mark your post as a spoiler.

So, i wonder if his role in Ruyi's Royal Palace is a substantial one as the 5th son. I hope so...hope that they took advantage of this steaming actor's skills. The drama is such a slow-paced standard inner court musical chairs friction and so on that its honestly not that compelling to me. I will wait for Qu Chu Xiao to make his entrance into the drama... was otherwise considering dropping out of boredom.

I started reading it but stopped. They are just two different entities. The drama is a work of art where as the novel is 18+ erotica that doesn't do the drama justice IMO.

i echo your words and thoughts! As I continue to watch him, esp since I am watching now without subs, he's a gift to this CDrama.

i'm watching the show. So i can see it before my very eyes. :D I've watched 28/36 eps.

As a few others have mentioned in the comments here, the plot is really driven around her and her shadow's complex love story. While the prince is interested in her as well, he also knows of those two's feelings for each other. So, as the story unfolds, we do see the interaction from both these guys circling her, but ultimately the prince isn't gonna be the guy.

i wonder when it will start getting subbed. i don't see it out there yet.

He's exceptional in his acting and a pleasure to watch....keep watching...time will tell.

ok good to know. i haven't read it yet. thanks for advising about the relationship to prior versions.
