Not a fan of Gu Man. I know all dramas are fictional but this one feels overly scripted, polished, and unreal. The delivery of some lines by ML feels particularly scripted. I find myself asking, do real people talk like that?

I suspect she's the young concubine based on the actual story. Otherwise, can't see another significant character.

Did you watch Dangerous Liaisons or The Scandal movie? Based on the story, all 3 should have more or less equal screen time but I think Lady Cho might have more.

Same. She's beautiful but looks more contemporary.

What were the reactions? I did find Nana's face too modern for sageuk.

Just completed watching and I really don't get the bad rating. This isn't that bad. I actually enjoyed watching it. I bet rating would have been better if there were more kissing scenes going by the average MDL standards.

I've watched up to ep 20. I thought it would be bad, but so far, it's watchable. I hope the next half won't disappoint. But just can't get enough of HMH's face. The styling here makes him look extra handsome really.

Watched this only cos of HMH. Didn't understand the raves so my expectations were not sky high even while watching it. So I also don't understand the disappointment now that it's completed. To me, this drama isn't that great, but it ain't that bad either.

I didn't find it that bad. It speaks of how the older generation works and thinks. Seems pretty logical to me.

They're different. Mobius is sci-fic, very thrilling and suspenseful, and pace is very fast. This one is slow, less thrilling but is very intriguing. The story is also more emotional. I love the cast and I'm watching for Zhang Ruo Run. He is an amazing actor.

Have you watched Crush?

I can't even watch another drama except those with the 2 of them in it.

Ryoko's Doctor X is hard to beat. But interesting to see how Kim Ji Won will interprete the role.

Wah...this comment section is still on fire. Rarely see this days after a drama has ended.

Happy New Year, lovers of SAL! I have finished rewatching the entire drama. First time for me to rewatch a drama in its entirety right after having finished it. Still missing the 2 of them, so rewatched The Legend of Shen Li and now Love Game in Eastern Fantasy. I'm convinced both of them can do a xianxia romcom. Best CP in my books!

Now rewatching and am up to ep 21. In the first watch, I had to fast forward ep 19 & 20 a bit cos I couldn't bear the pain of watching what happened. Now I am looking forward to them meeting each other again. I like the arc of the 2nd half more but I hate the editing. Still angry that we were short-changed so much.

I'm sorry haters. No other actress can pull off Mumu except Esther. Yes, there are cute and bubbly actresses with big eyes...whatever. But none are also sassy and sexy with full kissable lips like Esther. They also don't have her dress sense, sorry not sorry.

Haha...he was a bit annoying at first but he was also funny.

I saw a bit...don't like the hairstyle though. LOL. FL doesn't appeal to me either.

Watching him again in The Legend of Shen Li where I first saw him. He's rather funny in that role.
