Let's hope not. If things don't start to happen soon I give up. They can have season 2 and 3 without me.
Same here! I am not interested in a season 2 or 3. If they can't end it in episode 48, that's the end of the line for me. 48 episodes is way too long to tell a story, especially if there is drag and filler. Some of the scenes with the King and Mother, Hong Xuan's Wife and Female Spirit, General Ming's Wife and anyone, Female who likes Hong Shuo, Female Spirit and anyone, are boring.
The drama is good just that they dragged it too much before the act they wrote........ The only problem Chinese…
I agree with you. When they drag out the episodes, I start losing the thread of the story. The jumbled editing of scenes is not helping either. I haven't even memorized the names of characters, except for Hong Xuan, Hong Yi, Hong Shuo and Ming Yefeng.
My handsome grandson, Leo Wu, has grown up. Only five years ago, he was the teenage martials arts expert Fei Liu in Nirvana in Fire, where he stole the show from the experienced actors in all age ranges. Now he has a commanding presence as the male lead in dramas. His role as Bai Li Hong Shuo in Guardians of the Ancient Oath shows an acting maturity and presence which surpass many male lead actors' in their 20s.
Zheng Kai is outstanding among the Guardians of the Ancient Oath cast, due to his handsome looks and majority (age 33). He looks like a young Andy Lau. He has been cast recently in many supporting roles, but I hope that casting agents and production companies make note of his acting presence in Guardians of the Ancient Oath, and upgrade him into the Male Lead category.
My two most favorite characters are Bai Li Hong Shuo and Ming Ye Feng. Zheng Kai is outstanding among the cast, due to his handsome looks and majority (age 33). He looks like a young Andy Lau in his Ming Ye Feng character. I am continually impressed with Leo Wu as an actor. At age 20, he possesses a maturity in acting and presence which surpasses many male lead actors' in their 20s.
This drama is a diamond. I did not expect to see the polish and shine in a costume C-drama production. I haven't complained about anything, except the one minute quick flash flashbacks. The editing and music usually drive me up the wall, when I watch the C-dramas. Finally a film editor who knows his professional job. The music composer is very versatile, and knows how to enhance the scene with the BGM. The director is really staying on top of all department heads, and the output is exceptional. The martial arts scenes are well choreographed; the quality of martial arts films.
Deng Lun's character fashion sense is questionable, but his men's suits seem to be tailormade to his build.
Too many big squares on the suit! LOL
Sometimes, the more garish, the outfit, it can take away from the actor's acting performance, as the brain is sidetracked while watching the visuals and listening to the audio.
