It's striking how much Alen Fang (Liu Yan) and Gong Jun (Su Mu Yu/Kui in Blood River) look alike. It is quite distracting and disturbing...to me. My brain has to switch from one to the other.
I dare say, quite an opening that 1st episode. The visual, martial arts, wardrobe...smell of $$$$$. I am not into the story yet. Hope it develops without too many fillers.
Pleasant to read positive comments on this thread. They motivate me as 40 episodes are a long way to go.
I really appreciate your list. Many that are not on your list I've watched over the years although little time to watch all of them though. Some can be too suspensful for my heart so I watch one episode every two or three days otherwise...nightmares and insomnia get to me...no joke.
I keep in mind that it is'nt everyone's cup of tea. Some people have difficult life so lighter series help them go through their days more smoothly. Other people don't have the interest or intellectual energy to think outside the box.
Over the decades I've dropped too many series and wonder where lies my problem. This is the reason why I stopped commenting as too many stones were thrown at me. I reopened my MDL account and will follow yours sparingly.
You do well and your comments add a depth that make it interesting to read. Hoping also to attract more viewers.
yall get ready to hate situ ling even more tomorrow
In the start, I don't like "obssessed" characters with a deep jealousy feeling that turns out to be a demonic killer - some episodes back, when killing his brother was so orgasmic to him. For now, he is an importaant character as he does protect MY. Reversely, he his a threat as he will put her in critical situations. I bet that Situ will last to end of the story. Cross fingers I am wrong.
At episode 23 I cuddled my cat to tightly...she didn't like it. Situ was just on time to save some of 27's spirit. Lu Yu Xiao (Ming Y) acting doesn't disappoint.
Rewatching. Love the pace this story is told, the complicity of the characters, their love for their land, the amazing wardrobe, the softeness of the empress when leaves a smile on my face. I love everything about this artistic historical drama.
just watched ep 15. AND I CANT. i cant continue after this. as a man myself, this no remorse attitude disgusted…
I feel you. I stopped watching too although knowing that those spoiled aristocrat characters of that time took women for granted. I think that his attitude was not well developped. The director left the audience to guess which is not correct because not everyone has the ability to analyse the reasons that drove the character to act like this and the consequences on the audience's mind. I understand the character behavior and do not agree wit. I remember his friend telling him that she liked him. She might have been interested and curious about his personality, but as a youngster in heat moreover without the correct upbringing into his life, he took it into his hands and accepted her smile as a YES. His not innocent neither is the other sitting on the fence.
Li Xian took a bet by accepting that role. He will have to live with the consequences. As much as chinese actors accepting the role of the japanese. It's a harsh and too well paid profession.
Li Xian...Li Xian after reading the script you must have embraced that role with courage knowing that the character's education during that period could take women for granted. Your acting nailed that moment so well that I couldn't finish watching.
