Oooooh, the plot thickens. Cannot wait to see how the final arc unfolds. Lots of suspicion, more questions than answers at this point.

Looks like The Legend of Rosy Clouds is coming. Investment promotion has started - rumored to be late June to broadcast.

Maybe. I'm still not sure about LL's Dad. He's a little sus to me.

Yes, I have to unfortunately agree with you that the writing of the show is subpar, a waste of such a great cast and production values.

I agree. His potentially most interesting section of his life story (how he survived with the General) is not told on screen. So he arrives back as a totally different character than he was at the beginning, and it doesn’t feel quite earned. I simply don’t know if I should root for him or not. Hopefully he demonstrates some usefulness to either the plot or the FL’s character in this second half.

Please be true!

Flourished Peony was more interesting to me (but I didn't really like part 2 In the Name of Blossom). We're only about halfway done with this one, so it's too early to say how the 2nd half of the story will develop.

Honestly, not much so far. The story is more focused on FL's story and her family. The ML has his own story, but it's more in the background for now. I don't find much romantic chemistry between the two, but that's me. You'll have to watch it for yourself to see.

Ugh, Tian family still around?

It’s more of a web of conspiracy that gets more and more complicated the further they dig into it. It also involves the main characters personally, which I think is a smart choice from a writing perspective - makes the stakes higher.

Can't help thinking that this should have more episodes. 25+ episodes in, I'm still fully engrossed in our trio's quest for justice.

😆 this is my first time seeing the actor I believe. I mean, he’s been good in the role, convincing as a stalker creep

Ugh, I just want to slap him every time he's on screen.

I think Bai Yao Pu is still the mostly likely next one he will film, but I also hope for a modern one or something different afterwards.

Latest 🍉 for female lead: Chen Yao. I remember watching her in Maiden Holmes.

People also saw GJM in Puyuan recently, maybe location scouting?

Yeah, it’s too bad in my opinion.

I blame the idol dramas of today - too many nonsensical stories about how things work in ancient China - how just killing off the bad guys would solve everything. Actually, maybe I'm referring to today? The bloodlust and desire for vigilante justice is astounding.

I don't really care about MDL ratings, but 7.7 for this is ridiculous. It's a classic wuxia story, good vs evil, and it's fun. The dialogue is witty, the characters make sense, and it's also a story that makes good use of its long drama format. Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

Yes, the long wait continues

Yessss, every period C drama needs one lol
