Enjoy and certainly will do. I am watching season 3 of the Musketeers right now. I will look for a new c-drama after I finish that. So far Royal Nirvana and Joy of Life are the two I really want to watch.

I ended up dropping at 12. It is kind of cute but I got bored after awhile. There are too many things coming that I want to watch I won't bother to finish this one.

Watched 12 episodes, its cute and boring at the same time. I just couldn't get into it.

I will update my review later but try this first. I don't think the DVD version is updated but the TV one is.
It is much more fun to watch it but if you would still like the ending summary, reply me again and I will do it in a spoiler for you.

Ugh! Thx, this has gone into the freezer only to be defrosted if I am desperate.

Wow - sounds like a great strong female lead role. Definitely going to watch this. Almost sounds a bit like Weiyoung part 2 in that it focuses on what happens to her as the Dowager...

Tyvm this is great color. Doesn't sound annoying at all, I will check it out.

Is this another one of those with noisy, petulant, wailing female characters or do they mostly act like grownups?

If it makes you feel better, one of my best friends only admits to watching it 29 times (I suspect more). I also had to ban myself from re-watching. My favorite scenes were whenever Ye Hua was just so mean to Su Jin but the true villain (or hero) was Xuan Nu. Were it not for her Si Yin may have ended up with Li Jing or Mo Yuan and Ye Hua may have stayed a beautiful golden lotus flower.

Yes!!! [Fingers crossed]

I enjoyed both but yes, for me TMOPB was better. L&D is better executed and both lead actors are much better actors. But TMOPB is a better story and I have a preference for somewhat flawed and badass characters.

I am watching this at a snail's pace. I don't think its bad so I can't figure out whether it is because I am just in a dreadful, evil slump or it is the drama. I am not exactly thinking of dropping it, I just can't get motivated to keep going. Is it just me?

The female lead roles were fantastic - both strong and capable women. But agree completely the acting for Lin Xi fell far short of the writing and there was no chemistry there. Thank goodness it is not a romance story!

Their Chinese app is fantastic but the English one is a very poor cousin. They should just add a select English language as an option and add a filter that allows users to search for English subbed content only to their existing app. Waste of money and time to launch such a shoddy and inferior product when the original is even miles better than Netflix. Tip - the Chinese app already has English and Chinese subs for big hit movies like Brotherhood of the Blades. You can download it from the store if you set you region to say Hong Kong or possibly other parts of Asia but the whole thing is in Chinese although easy to navigate regardless.

It is missing from iQiyi's list (Oct 18) of the 12 highly anticipated key TV drama releases for 2020... Fingers crossed that means it will come out in 4Q 2019.

I totally hear you. Great story and actors but one giant mess in terms of production.

Its a service that allows you to change your location. So I was able to watch NIF from the Philippines on Viki and Changan from San Francisco on Amazon. My folks don't subscribe to Astro so they just use ExpressVPN to watch everything, usually from Viki bc my mom needs subs. Its very easy to change location from their app until you find a location that is not blocked.

Oh no! If you watch a lot of c-drama you should get a VPN, esp where you are because Astro has the rights so many of the Viki shows are blocked. Same issue here many local channels have them and often dubbed into Canto I really don't want to watch those versions. I use Express VPN its easy to use and good to get around it. I have only seen the translation of the songs on Viki.

LOL tyvm - I think I have just watched/read way too many of these stories...

Tiffany Tang disappeared from cast list...
