The Douban rating is the highest compliment - it has won the high praise of the super picky, eagle eyed Chinese viewers. Even though it is disappointing the MDL rating is not higher, it is exactly the same as Douban (for once; MDL is usually much higher).

I don't understand why Haodu is hunting Changge like a rabid dog. This seems personal - why does he resent her so much? I don't think I can root for this character, I don't like him at all he is no better than Shuyu.

OMG first Beauty and Beast, now Sleeping Beauty??? Slaps forehead!

Ok that is one scene where there is no excuse not to shoot it properly, drawing is not gonna cut it!

Yeah that poisonous little crustacean needs to be declawed and smashed to small bits for what he did to them.

I believe that all the extra scenes that have been added so far are just scenes that they originally edited out themselves but not scenes that were censored out.

Tsk tsk tsk! I thought my lil Wu Lei would have higher standards than going topless for the cameras... I had to force myself to watch that scene... Heheheh!

He is one of those that get less good looking as the episodes pass...

WKX was determined to hold on to his past so by sheer willpower, he managed to overcome the effects of the forgetfulness potion. That is why he occasionally passes out from migraines when he remembers. Ghost Valley is a refuge for people (usually criminals) to escape their past - they are supposed to drink the potion to let go of their past demons and start fresh.

I agree completely. To be honest, I was never that impressed with her she was just another pretty face. And a very pretty one at that. But her acting was not bad but it was not good either. Then along comes ELOD and my god, that was nauseating - especially the many retarded monologues. Everyone that survived those deserves a medal. I blacklisted her for awhile after that and I had serious reservations about her in this one but I love Wu Lei so I watched anyway. To my surprise, she has really improved and it is not fair to bash her for her past faults in this drama bc IMHO so far, she is killing it.

I am not having any issue whatsoever with the age difference in this drama - honestly no one will comment if they didn't know the ML/FL age. Idk why its a recurring topic but if that is all people have to complain about then it is a good thing.

There are a lot of undertones in the first 2 episodes that I hope they come back and tie up later. Like for example, the FL's mother seemed to know the coup was already going down when she sent her daughter away. Judging from history, Li Shimin was quite ruthless and the dynamics between him and his brother seem to be kill or be killed. I hope they don't whitewash his character here.

LoL - its this director. I am really torn I want to watch Golden Hairpin but its her again...

You are close...

I really love the way Ashile Sun admires her bravery and keeps praising her "manliness" to reassure her.

They could have at least been a bit more creative... like make that dastardly hat talk - take me off, take me off!!

This is a signature description of a female character that this director LOVES. He can't help himself. I am just relieved so far he hasn't done it to the FL but poor Leyan/Lusi got screwed. Actresses should just not agree to work with this dude.

Yes, that is my thinking as well. And I think Weiyu is suspicious of her in general, in addition to resenting her interference in their past life.

The emperor's involvement (if at all) is not clear and she knows she is going to cause trouble, that is her intent. It is all good that you think she could have been smarter but that comment begs the question how and so far, you don't have any idea. That is why you are getting so much pushback.

Wow... that was so big of him!
