I had no empathy for He Xia throughout the drama. I skipped his scenes in the last half of the drama. Sean Sun looked different in the last few episodes. He might have lost weight from working intensely in this drama. He looked very handsome at the end.

I agree with you about the length of the drama. I had to skip the Bai Lan State scenes with He Xia, Princess Bai and Prime Minister. He Xia started to look very handsome and lean in the last few episodes.

Some parts of the drama are boring, but there are some interesting plotlines as well. I like all the scenes with Wallace Chung/Chu Bei Jie.

She is intellectual and smarter than the men in authority, who call her a witch. There is no sorcery in the drama (I am up to episode 43). I think that the first episode with the zither playing, and the winds picking up and the river flooding, were like some martial arts special effects.

Wallace Chung is doing a great job as Chu Bi Jie.

The novel is translated on http://moonbunnycafe.com.

The best, funniest comments, ever written. I can't stop laughing.

I am watching the drama because of Chu Bei Jie only.

I am watching this drama, because of Wallace Chung. Chu Bei Jie is the romantic warrior general.

Viewers, at any age, cried during that final scene. It was the best scene in a movie or drama, that I have seen.

I am curious why it took 20 to 30 years for him to be upgraded to Goblin status.

The only problem that I experience with these long dramas, is keeping track of the last episode that I watched on the drama site.

I am very impressed with your timeline. I hoped to watch ten episodes weekly, but I averaged 18 episodes weekly. I should be done in 1 week.

I am watching NIF and General and I concurrently, and I was mixing up the harem women of the King/Emperor.

Also, the characters get stabbed, poisoned, or flogged, and emerge, resilient.

It has taken me, a year to get to this drama. I am doing a marathon watch, for the first time. I finished 36 episodes in 2 weeks. It is a very intricate, intelligent script, written in the style of Literature, more than an episodic TV drama. All the actors have solid acting skills. Hu Ge carried the drama on his shoulders, and won the acting award for his labors. It is slow at times, but with 54 scripts, (approximately 2,160 minutes of film), the plot could not move swiftly. I wish that this drama had participated in the 2016 International Emmy Awards.

This is my second tomb drama in the last six months. Candle is written well.

I have to remember to keep a towel nearby, when I watch the last episode. I am sure that it is a happy ending, but we will still cry a river. We already watched the sad part of the drama in ep 13, and cried a river.

I think that TVN can produce the prequel drama, of Kim Shin, during his warrior days.

Same here! I watched ep 13 at 11PM, and could not sleep for a few hours. It was a big shock. The director and writer were ingenious, coordinating that sword moment with Yoo and Go Eun.
