The first kiss I was thinking they leave it to later...

I was waiting so long for them to become adults! Finally! The mom though I know she wants the best for the FL, but she was too extreme.

Agree, was saying the same. The ending was pretty bad.

Yeps, just that they used a different character but same sound.

Watched the anime, read the comics... then watched the first episode of this... advice is to watch the anime or read the comics (just that the comics can be a bit too wordy)

Even season one, I felt it became not as interesting and forced after the appearance of the Prince... so I think you are right, we prefer the mystery solving and not the political stuff.

Now that you said it... ML's eyes were bloodshot throughout episode 1 - I just made myself think that he was tearing after knowing what happened to the FL.

Yes you are right that not long after season 1... their mannerisms changed too much... except Wang Kuan.

Watched the 1st episode last night, almost fell asleep. Ya Nei's character felt so awkward not just because they changed the actor, the mannerism somehow changed and it is just so unnatural. Xue Ying also felt so different compared to Season 1, so as Pei Jing. Only Wang Kuan is most consistent. Will wait for more episodes and the ratings before deciding whether to continue.

Heartbeat is so good - Love and hate the cliffhanger at the end of each episode...

Exactly. You wanna frame someone, just get a sword from his camp which should not be difficult to obtain and use it to assassinate the emperor - just so easy since the Emperor and Crown prince must too gullible to believe someone will do that.

My favorite character = hu li jing! Such a cute name...

Both of them gave me the "John Wick" Vibes lol

Yeah, especially FDB's servant maid...

The lazy writing is getting worse... you go assassinate and you'd bring a sword that reveals where you are from... just watching this for the romance... the rest is rather draggy and quite silly.

Yes, as LMX is part of the her plan. Last night I was at ep 20, he already believe that RA is DZ. His sister the princess found out.

Watched the first episode... Lotsa wu xia vibe and I feel that romance is going to be minimised.... good for a change from the romance heavy period drama

Thanks! I will start it... Chinese is just great for me... so I will watch and comment.

Anyone started this? How is it?

I agree. While I enjoy the drama, advice is not to think too much and just be aesthetically pleased by the leads. On the convenience or simplicity though, I am still waiting for how the FL can develop in 10 years to what she is today and holding 30,000 marine soldier?

Same. I am watching it because of the the leads but the rest is just so-so. Hope they cover how the FL can become how she is today - with her background etc. seems just too farfetched. Probably just watch it as a fun and noneedtobeserious drama if it continues the same...

At The Moment :)
