Understand. I think I was okay till the ML's assistant said she's considered his half sister.

The ML is really not very likable at this stage. But well, we'll see how he redeems himself later. Anyway, I know FL and ML are not blood related but they're considered grandchildren of grandma. Hmm...Am I the only one who finds them weird to be in a romantic relationship?

LGX wasn't popular? That's a surprise. I thought I used to see him in many Chinese movies years ago. I think he was quite popular back then. Maybe less so now but he's definitely quite established and considered a commercial success in the industry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lin_Gengxin

Depends on your taste. This drama explores emotional growth so the pace is not fast. I would say the quality is good but the plot with the current bf is draggy. Need him to be out and I expect it'll be very watchable.

I think BS is all about clout. When you run a search on google, you can find tickets being sold for the event so perhaps they need to have nominations that appeal so that tickets can be sold out. Acting aside, we can't deny QOT has clout and KSH has clout too. That's why even his co-star wasn't nominated even though so many are saying she carries the show too. Personally, I've had my reservations about one of last year's winners but well, the show had clout and I won't be surprised that factored in majorly in the winning.

Also, I would refrain from comparing the actors as that attracts fan wars that can get really toxic. Fortunately, most people on this board are fans of JCW.

Anyway, I'm encouraging myself that even though JCW isn't nominated, it seems a lot of publicity came out of this rubbish nomination and as a result, perhaps more people will check out his works.

XK can act devious. Not over-the-top and so is not too resentful. But at this stage, he's not likeable either. Well done!

Understand. But good you say it on this board where we're all JCW's fans. We can comfort one another. At least we have positive news that he's got a new offer so that cancels out the bad news.

Not true. 3 of them are famous and 1 very popular. Maybe it's just the judges not liking JCW cos he was included in earlier leak but now he's not in the confirmed list. I don't even know who is the one who is being included cos never heard his name. Anyway, let's just get over it cos awards or no awards, he's still highly regarded as an excellent actor in the industry.

I hope he takes it up but how is this gonna fit his schedule? Wow.

I wouldn't be so frustrated if the nominees are better than him but I can see at least one isn't. And I'm not the only one saying so. It's only cos the show he is in is popular.

I'm irritated by something at work but I'm even more frustrated that JCW didn't get a nomination at this year's BS. No wonder it's BS for short.

1. Eternal Love

3. The Legend of Shen Li

7. Love Between Fairy and Devil
8. The Starry Love

Just finished watching and what can I say? Totally worth it! But honestly speaking, While I love seeing them being sweet together, I prefer their comic comments when they were pitting their wits against each other much more. And can I say that besides Fu Shen, I love all the other characters cos none annoyed me. Maybe of all the side characters I like, Lady Jin and Sea Dragon King were my 2 favorites.

Btw, in ep 38, SL told her master that she lost 2 people she shouldn't have lost. One was obviously XZ but the other is who? Mofang or her father?

I remember he also said he took up the role in PA cos of ZLY.

The scene where XZ came to push Mdm Jin away from SL and Mdm Jin pouting at him is GOLD. Why didn't she hissed at him instead? Hahaha.

I would rather you not share the link. Why contribute to the clicks cos that's what she's after? And for people who have yet to watch, they might be swayed. If people want, they can go search.

Worth!
- No annoying 2nd leads
- No angst
- No stupid tropes
- At least one or two LOL funny scenes each episode
- Strong ML & FL characters with great chemistry and wit
- Good quality CGI
- Good-looking side characters

Somewhere in the middle. It was acceptable. I mean any hotter I would find it odd too cos XZ is supposed to be more restrained due to his status. Plus in this scene, SL was taking the lead.

Yes! They didn't think he simply wanted fish. And he made such delicious-looking soup and dish with them.

Why do fishermen have to be almost charcoal black looking? LOL. I laughed really hard when our sea dragon king was trying to send XZ tributes including a mermaid. And how is it XZ can cook so well? His culinary skills are really admirable.
