Some people really need to touch grass. I'm glad to hear they are reconstructing it.

They are no longer restricted to 40 episodes. That requirement has been removed.

I never thought I would be so emotional over the making of ink, but here we are. This was such a beautiful series, and I will definitely give it a rewatch.

I have been entertained thus far. The schemes are scheming, and the chemistry is chemistrying. This is a shorter series (24 episodes), so if you have other things you want to watch, you could wait until this is done. I have a feeling I will want to rewatch and binge once it is done.

She was amazing in The Glory, and when I found out she was in this, that really set it in stone that I should watch. I can't wait to see her vengeance!

It is rather fire between them! I'm going to need to have my fan at the ready for the remaining episodes.

I think it has more to do with the fact that she was the only person who stood up for/saved him. For someone who has been on his own his whole life, that is not something that comes easy.

I think they did cast him properly. He is believable in the action, and the chemistry is chemistrying between the FL. Like... no notes from me!

It's not just Netflix. I'm watching on Youku, and it is also out of whack.

I wish I could like this many times! I agree that this is a very realistic portrayal of events, and the core of the show is family and community. She is not some superwoman, but she is good at getting people to work together (if that were a superpower, that is definitely hers). What I like about the series is that the leads help each other out when they need it. I have been seriously wondering if I'm watching a different show from others, with all the negative posts about the ML being so weak and stupid. No, he is a realistic character with flaws like regular people.

No, I don't think she is evil. There were times during their recent interaction that made it seem that way, but after giving it a thought, I think she is just trying to survive herself and also to curb her family's nasty tendencies. She is trying to balance being filial with keeping space for herself. I wanted to slap her brother for how he spoke to her in today's episodes.

I didn't think it was possible to loathe Tian Ben Chang more than I do, but then he does something each episode to make that hate grow. What a vile, despicable character! Kudos to the actor, though. 😉

I am right there with you... So tempted, but I can't stand messy subs either. We will just have to wait... boo.

You really should use the spoiler tag. Not all episodes are available for everyone.

I think this show is worth watching. Ignore the low rating. That was mostly done by haters. I am super engrossed in the story and character dynamics. I am also intrigued by ink making, to be honest.

The rating system on MDL needs some improvement. There are a couple of currently airing shows that are having the same issue (haters giving low ratings without really watching the show). This is such a good drama, and I hope people will still watch despite the lower rating provided.

I am not seeing a repetitive storyline myself. While the aunt is the most insufferable person on the planet, the whole point of it is Li Zhen's growth. She continually has these obstacles and each time gets a little bit better at tackling them. I mean, yes, I want some comuppance for the aunt, but the whole point is the journey. I am so engrossed in each episode that I just don't find it boring or repetitive.

That uncle is so extra! One setback, and he lights it all on fire. That aunt needed more than that one slap, but that slap was quite satisfying. I startled my cat with my shout of glee.

I'm not sure why the rating is so low (beyond haters, that is). I look forward to the episodes every day, so I think it is worth giving it a try.

it is only on the Youku China app, not the international one. Viki is where you can watch it in the US.

Well... that was an explosive beginning! I am all in!!
