hahaha, it's opposite day today.

Repeating @AlexBBB, being serious or ironic? Tell us how.

Hahaha!

Yep! Even the Chinese title Chen Qing Ling has a very deep meaning, apart from being the name of the bamboo flute. Ever wonder why they didn't use the novel's title? I feel the character "Qing" (affection) here is a very subtle reminder of what the whole thing is all about.

"LZ flipping into the scene from nowhere", hahaha! Can you see me laughing rolling on the floor? You make me laugh my head off all the time! XD

As of today, 10/14/2019, we have already had 6,187 watchers and 2,850 ratings of this drama on MDL. Let's hope the numbers supersede the most watched/popular dramas on MDL.

Yep! Ahhhh! Our imagination runs wild ................, if you know what I mean XD XD XD.

Just click the stars next to the score and assign your score.

Exactly, it's supposed to be serious, but they made it non serious. I can see why some viewers don't like it because it looks amateurish, but viewers like me don't really care because I find it charming. As for running away from a supposedly ferocious animal, I don't think anyone would have run like the way Wei Ying does, albeit he looks cute. :)

Hooray! I think we've added some new fans here and pulled up the score again.

Your words are like my words, echoing deep in my heart.

We can all see how the directors have been trying to make this a 'light' drama, by inserting various 'amateurish/non-serious' elements into the story, such as the way Wei Ying runs away from the dog, the way Wen Ning fights with Song Ran (jumping in and out of buildings and trying to strangle each other), the way Lan Zhan goes after Xue Yang (like kids playing soldiers) and many others. But at the same time, they have also brilliantly made so many scenes that are so heart-wrenching that make us all emotional and cry. I really commend on the amazing work these directors have done. They have really produced something that hundreds of thousands of us appreciate and will never forget.

Kudos for them all!

Yes, that's basically the message, because from then on, Lan Zhan knows Wei Ying would be treated like an outcast by the "righteous" sects.

A very interesting perspective from a totally different angle. Normally, viewers' crushes are on Wei Ying and Lan Zhan. Your view is absolutely refreshing to read. Thank you for bringing us a different way of viewing this drama. Yes, I also love the line you mention here, "人生得一知己; 足矣." It means a lot to me too.

What a beautiful write-up encapsulating everything in the drama. Yes, this is a wonderful drama that has captured my heart for the last 2 months. The laughter and pain one experiences while watching it, is unprecedented. Life basically stands still for me, and I cannot pick up another drama to watch with real enthusiasm. If you haven't, maybe you should start watching the anime. I normally don't watch animations but this one is just fantastic.

That's why our hearts ache for both - Wei Ying for obvious reason, and Lan Zhan for his love and devotion for Wei Ying that is not being returned, at least until pretty late (because Wei Ying is kind of a, .... er... knucklehead). Fans, don't bash me! XD

I love your review and I share your points. When I first started, and saw the 3 Su kids, that was the first question I asked - it's not possible in that era to have 3 kids and not being punished or forced abortion. Both Su sons' wives are single children in their families. I feel the same way as you do in terms of the message - "family is everything and no matter what, you should always forgive family". I cannot accept such message too.

I have not read the novel. Can you kindly enlighten me how the story ends in the novel? Thanks.

Yeah, the first time when Wei Ying saves the Wen's remnants and asks Lan Zhan to let them go. Lan Zhan does and cries because he knows he may not see him (Wei Ying) again and Wei Ying would be outcast. But it is raining cats and dogs and dark that night. Only we, the audience, see Lan Zhan's tears, Wei Ying has left with the Wens and never sees the tears.

The second time is the most heart wrenching scene when Wei Ying is out cold in Lan Zhan's arms, and Lan Zhan finds out about Wei Ying giving his own golden core to Jiang Chen. Lan Zhan cries. That scene is by far the most loved scene from most of the viewers.

What do you think?

Hehehe! Keep your speech for us. We're all ears. How's it? Tell us.

Yes, I'm obsessed with the novel too. I read it on my cell phone whenever I'm in a car ride. I've never used to enjoy car rides this much; I don't even care about traffic congestion anymore because I'm enjoying my time with the novel. That's how magical this whole thing is!

Yes, we're extremely extra here; we're crazy XD. I'm glad we're like this because it's so satisfying, especially when we see more and more fans going through what we're going through. Let's share our fond experiences of this drama together.
