I was also more intrigued with the current intrigue than the past intrigue.

I was thinking down the road. I am sure that the next Bond film will not be the last.

It runs in C-drama time. LOL

I have finished ep 46, and am waiting for the final two episodes to be subbed. The drama regained momentum from ep 40ish, and I was absolutely thrilled every minute. The scope of the Holy Lantern Festival filmed footage reminded me of Zhang Yi Mou's grand scale Summer Olympics Beijing opening ceremony.

Yu Chang (Li Yuan) is the ultimate James Bond femme fatale villainess. I could see the actress being cast in a future James Bond movie, as his nemesis.

The characters do not have to speak archaic Chinese(*), but they should refrain from using terminology that is Western or 20th-21st century.

(*) example; Shakespeare archaic English, that many would not comprehend.

The Long Bo role might be Zhou Yi Wei's best acting performance of his acting career, so far. Long Bo looks almost charming, very beautiful and young in his last episodes. Zhou is thirty-eight years of age, but he looks ten years younger, with the hair bun.

Also available on Itunes!

One of the best acting performances in Longest Day in Chang An!

The database and Roger that are so out of sync with Tang time. LOL

I thought that Kung Fu rooftop aerialist priest must be a secret Ninja assassin. He has extraordinary skills for a Christian priest dude. He was flying across the rooftops. LOL

The subscription price is to watch many dramas, however there is no guarantee that they would be subbing many new dramas.

I was shocked to see Xu Bin alive in ep 31. I was sad when he was allegedly killed.

I agree with you that some characters who should fall off a cliff.

They position the flashbacking in the oddest moments. After his reunion with his old army buddy, Flame Master, Zhang Xiao Jing was in a hurry to get somewhere, when it cut to his army days. The segment might have lasted five minutes. In "real" time, those five minutes meant that he was standing in the middle of the road, reminiscing, while he was the subject of a manhunt.

I really liked Part 1 which might have ended around ep 24. They were supposed to show Part 2 at a later date, but decided to continue the momentum of the drama. Part 2 seemed to start stretching the "hour" or "minutes", and there might be a few episodes that cover the activity of one hour or less. Long Bo seemed to drop off the face of the earth after he and Li Bi confronted each other. Villain He suddenly took center stage, and his scenes are stretching time. His numerous closeups are unnecessary.

I will have to rewatch the drama. Ha! Ha!

Ha! Ha! Ha! I tuned into the drama for Lay, then noticed William Chan, but Zhang Ming En was the silent ace.

I have been watching this drama, but in the last two weeks, the conspiracy has become so convoluted, and at episode 31, I have no idea of the plot's direction. What happened to Long Bo during the mayhem and madness?

The constant flashbacking or flashbacks in the middle of an engrossing conversation or pivotal moment, breaks the momentum. The scenes seem to run on and on because of these inclusions.

The best elements of the drama are the music score and the silent opening credits (...there is no customary singing or music). Zhang Xiao Jing is the one man army fighting machine. Essentially, he is Terminator 1, a species that will exist from ancient time to 2029, and beyond.

I have watched twelve episodes of Longest Day in Chang'An, and so far, the production values are very high. The silent opening credits overlaying the "live" scene is a brilliant concept. Absent from those first two minutes, are the loud singing and/or music with the flash recap of the drama. The end credits are longer, but the music fits the tone of the drama.

Peacekeepers Corp is reminiscent of modern day MI-5, with Li Bi and Zhang Xiao Jing, the ancient versions of M or Q, and James Bond, respectively. Zhang Xiao Jing's fight scenes are swift and deadly, and he is the "wild card", the one that no one can control. Kudos to Lei Jia Yin, for effectively playing the super spy army captain.

I hope Viki can speed up the subbing process, so we see the ending no more than one week after the final broadcast.

I thought that he was the same Zhang Fu Guan with a new ID. He looked more handsome in Sand Sea, and he had a happy ending with the doctor.
