Thanks for the detailed reply. I can see that you feel quite strongly about it but I am not in a position to comment either way because I stopped watching after ten episodes or so. (I did ff through the last episode but didn't think much of it.) The FL seems to have ten times more lines than anyone else - she never stops talking - and it was driving me nuts! I hope that you can find something more to your taste. 😊
Wow, this is really sad. This show started in a great manner and hat a lot of good themes and actresses and actors…

This is quite long but also quite readable. I read this before watching the drama and it helped me to understand or see things which otherwise I might have missed.
everyone is a villain. He is threading muddy waters.
Thank you. Yes, I saw that she fancied him, but didn't realise that things had gone that far. Of course, I know that the drama has toned down his 'affairs' with women.

Are you saying that this scene, whether explicit or implied, was in the special edition but not the original? (I have just rewatched the original but not seen anything to suggest this.)
I'm really disappointed that Joy of Life Season 2 isn't available in my country (PH). Last year, while waiting…
I, too would have suggested myasiantv had the person below not already done so. However, it is not an official site. The site itself is safe enough as long as you you do not click on any ads or notifications. (I have used it for years with no problems.)
can anyone tell me where can i watch this with downloading it?? except iqiyi and youtube and also viki.....
Did you mean "without downloading"? Either way, watch here : https://myasiantv.ac/show/the-gate-of-renewal/episode-1 I think that one can download, too, but I don't know how safe that would be. (The site is safe enough but do not click on ads or notifications.)
Mid episode rant and im here to complain again.... (excuse my language)Ik i shouldnt undermine anyone's effort…
Firstly, what has happened to make you think that the FL has fallen for the male lead? Thus far, I have only seen her concern for his well-being. Secondly, I wonder how old old you are. Love is an emotion. Do you really believe that one needs a reason to fall for someone? Reason is logic based and is the antithesis of love. And what does validity have to do with ones emotions?
Thank you again; I appreciate your help. That sounds much more 'do able' to me. (I shall have to find a tutorial or two, online.) I have just bought my first smart phone (although I have been using a laptop and tablet for years) and I am just learning how to use it.
Thank you so much for the information. Unfortunately, at my age, (I am nearly seventy) I don't have the technical knowledge required to do things like you suggest. I shall just continue drawing characters individually with qhanzi. I only do it when learning historical terminology used in dramas, anyway. (I use wiktionary and Hanbook as they tend to include most of the words used.)
I don't know what a soft sub file is or how to use it, but how would I get the original Chinese character subtitles? I am teaching myself Chinese - but I am only interested in learning what I might hear / read in a Historical drama. Having the original language subs would help me to learn the language much faster. Up until now I have been using www.qhanzi.com to draw characters free-hand but it can take an hour for me to manually translate one sentence by doing it this way - especially when historical terms are used. Thank you.
