Has she ever given any comment on her drama adaptation before? I only know that for Guardian, she wrote an alternate…
Ah ok, that's great color tyvm. I am not familiar with her works bc I have been really lazy about reading in recent years. And I think it is a good policy not too comment on adaptations but it still would be nice to have her like it or put up a happy face or something.
Yes, its still my top drama and the only one so far that I will use the word masterpiece for. I would say that if you are going to start it, it is helpful to use a character guide for the first few episodes. There are many good ones online. I also echo JOL but so far only 1 of 3 seasons have aired. JOL is funny while NIF is more serious toned but they are both complex political dramas. Not much romance in either so totally different from TLB.
The man with the kid is Deng Kuan and the boy is his son with Xiao Lian. The little girl is Cheng Ling's daughter,…
Yes as fun as it is, I would much rather imagine that Chengling found his own soulmate and thus allowed Gu Xiang to be reborn as his child. WKS/ZZS already have their own kid and that kid is Chengling.
Do you mean Maiden Holmes? I love detective series and I'll add these to list. I already have them in mind to…
I really enjoyed Maiden Holmes but I wouldn't call it a detective story. The mysteries are meh its just a really hot romance with a great couple. Ancient Detective is a really good mystery, best in a longest time. Detective L is also really excellent.

One of the more extreme internet speculations is that the kid is really WKS/ZZS daughter that was spawned from the cauldron bc there were some characters suggesting that life was created floating around. I think AvenueX mentioned it in her livestream as well but I didn't watch her final review so idk if it made it there.
Leo Wu got to me! The Fei Liu Effect was strong and I feel dirty for it. I agree with your points. Just want to…
Yes indeed - all of the director's were unwatchable IMHO. LOL yes wrt the kiss scenes I never expected any - When Wu Lei shot this he was still not yet 21 and his momma is very adamant about no kiss scenes for her baby. So I don't think that has to do with the director. Hopefully as he gets older he gets to decide for himself what he wants to do onscreen...
Enjoy your reviews even if I do not agree with them-lol(ie: I did not like Love and Redemption at all). I am having…
Lol tyvm - I always enjoy hearing how people have different perceptions and different things appeal. This is a character drama the plot doesn't go anywhere so if the main characters/CP don't work for you, then this drama is not going to be your cup of tea.
I've been pondering a few questions since the series came to an end and I wonder what everyone else thoughts are.…
Changge's mom was the most tragic figure in the story. Of course she could have chose to do nothing but Li Shimin saved her life and he was probably her one true love. She chose not to let him die. But as a result, she betrays her husband and all 5 of Changge's brothers were also killed. She just couldn't live with herself.
She knows Changge is strong and probably pretty much predicted how Changge would react, as did Li Shimin. That is why she made her vow not to be consumed by hate and to instead live a happy life no matter what happens. I think she fully considered her actions and the consequences.
Leyan is a tough question - my guess is she would have cried for sure and she would have survived as we see she is strong in her own way. But I don't think she would have thought to try to seek revenge. I would also guess that Li Jiancheng would never have spared her life if the tables were turned.
I think the hardest part of growing up for Changge is to find out her father was just not a good person. And the situation between the brothers were kill or be killed. And considering that her mother was also culpable for her father's death I think acceptance if not forgiveness is the right outcome. But there is no going back for her and Li Shimin, which is why she is in the grassland with Ah Sun.
I think the outcome to everyone's personal journey was meaningful and satisfying. The plot however was flimsy and I am still unhappy about the blurry kiss.
