I am watching Rhydian Vaughan for the first time, and liking him out the gate. (I might have seen Monga, and noticed him). In ep 12, there is a revelation about Murong's birth. This would explain the casting of the character, which is perfect.

I am right there with you. I hope the next twelve episodes are tight, and do not fall into the C-drama black hole of extraneous filmmaking. A lot of the drawn out C-dramas could be told in 24 to 36 episodes, and look like a filmmaker's masterpiece. I have dropped many dramas due to the extraneous filler and flashbacking, slow progress, choppy editing. loud singing.

I think that the drama might also get released in Iraq, so the Director wanted a showcase a solid product to that country. There is a large group of Iraqi names listed in the production end credits. I presumed that their country of origin is Iraq, as I watched the episodes.

This is a whole different pace to Jun Jiu Ling and Lovers of the Red Sky which I am watching concurrently.

Hello! I am Western Chinese, and not Asian continental Chinese, but I remember daydreaming when I was twelve years' old, to counterbalance the boring secondary school and the bullying. I didn't write anything down, as it would be incriminating evidence. ROFL Watching the young Chen Mei Ru is deja vu.

LOL When you think about it, the plot is embellishing a twelve years' old girl's day dream fantasy about her Babylonian Prince Charming. The disclaimer at the beginning of every episode, "This story is purely fictitious", is hilarious. I guess that they are telling the viewers that there was no Iraqi/Chinese ancient alliance.

It seems to have a Hollywood or British production feel. It is not choppy like the C-dramas that are loaded with filler, filler flashbacks, choppy editing and loud music. I don't mind the flashbacking to twelve years prior. The scenes expand on the story, without disrupting the concentration.

She was domineering toward Murong in many scenes, but when she recapped her misery to Murong, I started to see myself.

The quality of the directing is amazing. I have not seen it in C-dramas. The Director knows how to direct a drama, his staff and cast. it also appears that he is controlling the editing process, which is usually the downfall of the C-dramas. And there is no obtrusive singing in the episodes, overlaying dialog.

I am old enough to be the primary cast's grandmother, but I like this show. I binged four episodes in the last three hours. The production values are high. This looks like a multinational production. The credits has Chinese, French, Korean and Iraqi production crews. The directing, editing, acting are very good. The flashbacking sequences are positioned within the episodes without being obtrusive and disruptive. I am enjoying this show. The production values are superior to other C-dramas that I have seen.

Muhahahaha! I actually starting to see myself in her, when she recapped her life to Murong at the Bigu place.

Same! The only reason I started watching the show today was because I recognized Richards Wang in the thumbnail on an episode.

I am hooked on it. I watched twenty-four episodes in two or three weeks. Jin Han cries too much in the drama...very annoying. Then he clowns around. I like him, otherwise.

That was a stretch of the imagination. LOL Old Doctor Jun had amazing skills.

Happy birthday, Yeo Jin Goo!

I thought that the editing skills in C-dramas are bad, but this K-drama has some very bad editing. The momentary flashbacks and flashbacking are bordering on jigsaw puzzle pieces. I don't understand why the Asian production teams cannot present a coherent flow in their dramas. Viewers have a short attention span. Keep them focused on the plot.

She became a weepy character too. Weepiness is tiring in K-dramas.

Brilliant character assessment of Hao Du. I was also intrigued with the character, and his journey.

I was thinking the same thing.
