Zhou Yiwei is really slaying here as the Left Army Inspector of Kaifeng. Way better than his Di Renjia. The big difference is the cast around him is spectacular. Whereas that cast just sucked, no other way to put it.
I'm a hard grader, I'd give the chemistry like a 7/10. It's not the best I've ever seen but it's better than average.…
I just specifically disliked how long the stepmother's arc goes on for too long with tropey schemes. And I also kind of felt it was not necessary to kill of poor Dou Ming like that. It felt not deserved. I am not a huge romance watcher but I enjoyed the chemistry in SOKP, TROP and even stuff like Maiden Holmes and Under the Power a lot more.

This is definitely one of the better dramas this year and it especially stands out bc it has been a really crappy year for period dramas. I love the visuals and I think the storytelling is riveting. The latest arc I feel digressed a bit, is not as tight and was a tad melodramatic but at least it ended quickly without bombing out like many other dramas did. The couple chemistry however does not blow me away either but it is good enough.
I honestly think the Wang Xingxue arc went on for too long with its tired schemes. Apparently the actress is an…
Yeah its one of the few not well written roles that got too much time in this story. But there are way worse in many other dramas so I can live with it now that she has finally exit left.
I was a little unsatisfied with the editing around Ming's death. Like, the Marquis hears the news that something…
Your are right. The narrative flow of that episode just wasn't good. But I feel that whole arc was melodramatic and a bit of a digression. I just ignored it bc I think nonetheless we get the point that one villain got their karma. Now I want to get back to the main plot to see that tied up properly.

Yeah idk her background but its very common to have supporting actors who are wives/mistresses/daughters of men with deep pockets that finance dramas so they can pass some time and have some bragging rights.
Honestly I think the best punishment for Wang Yingxue was seeing her most favourite person dead as a result of…
I honestly think the Wang Xingxue arc went on for too long with its tired schemes. Apparently the actress is an anchor investor in the drama. I am so ready to go back to the main conspiracy.
So true - this is not a perfect 10 or even 9-rated drama to me because of the draggy episodes at times but it…
I have to really question Youku's decision to air two business themed dramas set in the same period back to back. It is no wonder this has not attracted high viewership and feels a lot like more of the same. What I think differentiates this drama is that the angst is kept light and there is light comedy throughout to balance things out, there are excellent actors in supporting roles and JYY's "team" sticks with her from the get go so we feel invested in their storylines, the FL doesn't feel she needs to prove her capability by making it on her own, the ML and her friends support her throughout and finally the ML role is so well written and portrayed and we are getting really excellent fight scenes. It not a blockbuster drama for sure and there are tropes I don't like, but overall its so much fun to watch.
I watched Oriental Odyssey years ago. I remember the ML character Mu Le. I can't believe that he was played by…
Zheng Yecheng is going places. Youku has posted many videos of him being praised for his action scenes by Jackie Chan, who has said he has unlimited potential.
