QAS

I first saw him back in Coffee Prince during the broadcast year, where he stood out among the cast. He looked handsome in Her Private Life.

I have trouble sitting thru the Korean costume dramas. I get restless during the first episode, which is odd, because I used to watch the genre years ago.

I hoped he would be the main ML, but he's second ML. Kim Jae Wook is one of the most handsome actors!

I watched PA diligently every day. At the end of the final episode, I said, "WTF?" So disappointed in the ending. They wasted the budget on the 58 episodes, if they could not wind down the whole story within that time frame.

Thanks for your virtual company. I enjoyed your review of the drama.

If they deleted Yun Xiang's drunken episodes, they could expanded on the pirate conspiracy, and Lord Liu and Yun Xiang would have shut it down by episode 36.

The writer became so focused on Yun Xiang and Prince Fu, that he neglected the satellites. The drama team woke up one morning and said, "Damn, we have to wind it down in four episodes." They started scrambling like chickens without a head.

Did Master assemble all the Yun Tai members to kill them off? That would mean that he wasted twenty years supervising them (anonymously). Did he presume that they would blindly accept his scheme to overthrow the Emperor? Was Fu planning to promote Nangong as the next Master?

Moral of the story: If the sect members do not know the Master's identity, something sinister is going to happen.

Very nice reviews from everyone above! I learnt many little details through this MDL comment section. Sharing opinions and feedback, we can conclude that we were on the same page (... more or less) while watching the drama.

The JOL cliffhanger was downright cold. One cannot do that to the viewers unless the followup is right behind.

That was the highlight of the final episode.

By they time, they got around to making Season 2, the casting would be younger actors. The current cast made the series appealing to the viewers.

The production team wasted episodic time on Yun Xiang being drunk and heartbroken. If they had cut it down to ten minutes only, they would have freed up two episodes to fill in the loopholes toward the end...the biggest one being the Nangong-Guan alliance.

Fu fu'd the Yuntai sect. Did he build it up for twenty years to support his grand conspiracy, just to disassemble it in a minute?

Yun Xiang rode his horse fast and furious for a hundred miles to reunite with Shu Yanan. The climactic reunion was a tap on the shoulder and a smile. No conversation, no hug, no tears of joy! We were robbed.

I have no words to describe his hat.

😅😆😂 Fu was the overdubbing Master.

Why did YX remove QTF from the scene? Was he following Fu's command?

I am thinking of rewatching it.

Neither Mo Bufan nor Kang Qiao's old Master! The writer is sadistic. Meanwhile, the one who should have died, walked away, minus his family jewels.

👏👏👏

He refused it because Shu Yanan said they could not be together when he became par4t of the court.

😆😅🤣😂
