I'm not that far in yet as I have so many I'm watching at the same time but it is tagged Romance, Wuxia, Drama & Fantasy so I believe it does have romance.

Really good for a short series.

I am struggling to finish this one. I originally thought it would be the best of the bunch; however, now, having watched to episode 27 with Cheng Yi kind of fading into the background, I think the middle story was the best. It's unfortunate that, will all of the deaths and sadness in the first two, that they didn't make the third installment a little more redeeming in the story line.

Great comments here - must be off to a good start.

I especially notice the change in K-Dramas. I enjoyed My Dearest and Knight Flower; however, some pretty fluffy stuff has been produced since. Episodes are getting shorter as well, which is alright if they tighten the script. I just hope what happened in the U.S., where we went from 30 episode dramas to 8-10 episodes doesn't happen here.

Still laughing. He has to show off those muscles he works so hard to maintain. 🤣😭😂

Deng Yi showing his psycho colors. Last episode DY says he doesn't care who is emperor as long as he can maintain his wealth and status. Next episode, he's back currying favor again with XX, who he betrayed and is now trying to replace the current Emperor.

Bummer. Those ads are so annoying as there are so many.

That was one fast paced episode. It was like watching it on 3X speed, lol.

We are so lucky, I thought we were going to have to wait awhile for this one.

Oh look, it's Tom, no, I mean Jenn. Which one are you today? Jenn didn't work as people called you out when you tried to change your handle. Snarky as usual when everyone else is just having a normal conversation.

You are right to ask this question. In the U.S., we went from 30 episode tv series, to 20 episode, to 12 episodes and now the good ones are 8-10 episodes. You can wait a year to a year and a half before the next season starts. I hope this isn't going to be the end result with C-dramas. Here's what's happening with C-dramas per online info: Historically, investors and platforms were paid by the episode, creating a financial incentive to artificially extend a show's run time. Now, major platforms are shifting toward revenue-sharing models (where profitability is based on actual viewership, engagement, and retention rather than episode count). As a result, bloated, filler-heavy shows no longer make business sense. Also, with The Explosive Rise of Micro-Dramas, Traditional 40-minute, 40-episode dramas are facing intense competition from mini-dramas. With shorter attention spans and busy daily schedules, audiences increasingly prefer snappy, instant-gratification storytelling, forcing mainstream platforms (like iQIYI and Youku) to adapt and compress their longer formats to remain competitive. Because some stories (especially complex fantasy or historical epics) are better suited for longer formats, writers and editors sometimes struggle to squeeze large source novels into a 40-episode limit, resulting in messy or suddenly truncated conclusions. Long Cdramas (40-min) are losing viewership,

Looking forward to watching his great acting in new costume dramas when he circles back to the genre..

This is old news, his career is going fine. Love Beyond The Grave has similar ratings to everything else out right now. On to his next series.

Great watch, so much going on between the various sects and the main theme. Best of the trilogy for me as I enjoyed the War Gods story line the most; however, all three series hit their mark.

Agree, there's not enough time in the day to keep up but I'm trying real hard, lol.

Yes, and hopefully not poisoned throughout like so many series. I'm rooting for him, lol.

Great so far but please let the ML being poisoned trope part end soon. Love the action in this one.

Bai Lu is rich and multi talented. If her career wasn't ongoing, she wouldn't have to provide answers for these ridiculous tirades. One thing I know from a family member who was part of a t.v. program is that she was asked to stand by the water's edge in a sheltered lagoon at the pier in SF. The person in charge of the program then narrated that, "during the hectic storm and massive waves at the ocean...", lol. It's an example of how they try to make programming more interesting. It's possible Bai Lu was expected to be that way to amp up the show. Everybody has a role to play in the entertainment industry. Thankfully, the actors aren't little cookie cutter cutouts of each other.
