Yea, in the trailer Cheng Yi character looks very interesting. I will watch for him. Romance can go to hell. Love to see Liu Yi Huan and Wu Zhi Qi, too

What a time for them to release this drama. After Cheng Yi rise to popularity in L&R, hahahaha

I am gonna try the Promise of Chang'An. The trailer gives me Nirvana in Fire vibe. Have little to no expectation in romance department though. Seems it would only another female lead character that I am annoyed to.

Same. I have mix feeling regarding tomorrow. In one hand, I am happy because finally I get to see the ending. But on the other hand I am sad to loss this entertainment. Not ready to watch other drama.

I get the feeling that drama will drive me crazy, too. Not because of its romance, but because of the story itself. From the trailer, I cannot get the romance at all. The female lead is too cold

Yes, he did know from the very beginning. The secret of Li Ze Palace is known to all its disciple.

Ah, finally this discussion come here in MDL. I have mentioned in other forum that I dreaded Yuan Bing Yuan acting when the time come for female lead acted in angst scene. Not that I have something against her, but because based on what I have seen from her acting Snow Tower, she is not ready yet.

Cheng Yi is a surprise for me here. I have only watched him a little bit in The Lost Tomb 2, so I cannot really appraise his acting skill (I have not yet finished watching that drama). His Si Feng is perfect (I cannot find better praise). From the beginning of the drama until now, his Si Feng was able to maintain this kind of aura that made you felt his pain. Cheng Yi was able to exude this aura everytime on screen, not just when he interacted with Xuan Ji but with everyone. Even when he was masquerading as MSX, we kind of felt his dilemma, his sacrifical love to Xuan Ji, his inner pain. It is something that cannot be explained.

Perhaps that the most of viewers is woman is the reason that he is more popular than Yuan Bing Yuan, but not because we woman prefer male or anything like that. I believe we female lot also can sympathize with the female character. Problem is because we are woman, we by nature are more sensitive of this aura thing. So, the actor/actress that able to exude this aura will win our heart. This is where Cheng Yi win out compared with Yuan Bing Yuan.

Yuan Bing Yuan acting for early Xuan Ji was perfect in my opinion. After watching a couple of Zhao Lu Si drama (sorry, no offense to her fans), I was relieved when I watch that Yuan Bing Yuan was able to make Xuan Ji naive but not annoying. Xuan Ji was really adorable in the beginning. But, as the story move on, the ability to exude sadness became necessity. Xuan Ji was too unstable in her sadness and guilt aura after the moment of truth. Sometimes she showed it, sometimes she didn't. I don't mean that she should not smile or anything but she needed to show that she was not okay inside. She improved later on in episode 50+ in my opinion. But people has already felt discomfort watching her acting in earlier episodes.

In Ashes of Love, there was a Run Yu vs Xu Feng debate thing in the internet. About who was more deserving of female lead. I believe lots of people in Run Yu side was not because his character was that noble or something but because Luo Yun Xi acting was that convincing and good, so his character resound with people heart.

I applause him big time. Tired with the whole Shao Yang.

To be honest, I find this problem in almost all chinese actress that I have watched. They mainly have problem in emoting a devastated feeling, a sadness so great that you feel like dying. From the beginning of this drama, I have been dreaded the moment when it is the female lead turn to do the angst scene because I have never found an actress that really excel in this kind of thing.

Compared with Cheng Yi, Yuan Bing Yuan paled in comparison when they were in angst scene. However, her acting is more or less acceptable. Not excellence, but acceptable enough. I have seen worse ......

I am actually glad that she didn't get many close up for that scenes. Sometimes I find it disturbing when she failed to display great emotional pain. If that was done in close up, the result would be worse.

Hmm, based on Yang Zi performance in Ashes of Love, I say that Yuan Bing Yuan didn't do any worse than her. Zhao Li Ying, I am only familiar with Journey of Flower (she was good there, but I cannot say that she will excel to if she was in Yuan Bing Yuan shoes). Li Yitong, I am not familiar with her work.

Me too!!! It was so sad when Si Feng re-considering their marriage since he didn't have long to live

No worries! Unlike Ling Long case where Ming Yan is married in, Xuan Ji is married out. In the novel, Si Feng takes her away to Li Ze Palace. No mention at all that Si Feng entering Shao Yang even when they both choose to live as hermit.

Agree. Episode 35-44 just made me so angry (I was angry in my whole watching time). This time, I cried in my whole watching time, especially started episode 47.

From the rumor circulated in youtube, seems it is positive that Si Feng will fall to long coma after heaven arc. Perhaps that too can give time to Xuan Ji to introspect herself.

Xuan Ji is really gullible at this point. If this is what the drama will move toward, Yuan Bing Yuan has a very tough job emoting a crushed feeling when all truth comes out. She would has harmed Si Feng multiple times by her own hands by then

I will certainly miss the drama. Re-watch with the subs is in order.

Just another Hao Chen cunning play. Somehow I feel that Hao Chen should not die that soon in mortal realm. He needs to be there when Xuan Ji finally fed up with all his manipulation. Well, lets hope Xuan Ji give him a piece of her mind in the heaven realm.

Even like this, there are people who think that L&R is not deserved its popularity. All this absurd claims about paid review, paid rating ...... Why those people even commenting when they don't like the drama is beyond me.

Let them be. I am of principal that gold will always be gold. The successful show will be reflected on the actors and actress career in the future.

Watching episode 27 with subs. I am in pain .....
9 lifetimes for Xuan Ji to vent out all her anger. Now in the 10th, finally for her to go any length to make sure Si Feng stay alive. The contrast would be very beautiful in the end of the drama.
