I loved Ming Lan, it's my favorite drama I've seen so far. Wasn't so much a fan of Flame's Daughter.

It's not really like those other shows at all other than the fact that it's a historical with a smart FL. I don't personally recommend it. I started watching it about four months ago and I'm just now on episode 32 and it's been a struggle with quite a bit of skipping. The chemistry isn't there for me and the plot's just kind of...dumb lol. The FL is adorable and really likable but she's pretty much the only reason I'm going to finish it. Others do like it though, it has an 8.2 rating so you may too. But from what I've seen so far I'd probably give it like a 6.

You cannot say with absolute certainty that it isn't natural. Some people's bodies change over time. If she has an eating disorder, you commenting about how skeletal she looks, how the male lead has to work harder because of her appearance, and how unattractive she is is not constructive whatsoever. I hate when people are clearly just trying to be dicks in their original comment and then try to turn it around into "concern".

Wow. Hateful much? Hers could be an eating disorder or it could be natural but no matter what it's not your place to judge. If your criticism of her is her acting, I won't fault you. But to go off on the poor girl's appearance is so low. Does it make you feel better about yourself to put down others? Tell me that is attractive.

Ha yeah he's a lil yandere in that one.

Her thinness could be a health issue but it could also be natural. Either way it's no one's place to judge. It's so fucked up to say she's not allowed to work because of her body. It's not her responsibility to make sure young women don't try to look like her. I understand you not liking her acting (though to say she ruined Love 020 is a stretch. The show's writing ruined that show) but your first point you're trying to make is ridiculous.

I think they're starting to put them back up again, but there's only 10 episodes right now.

Omg you should definitely give c dramas a try! I started with k dramas originally but now I pretty much only watch chinese dramas.

He's really great in the Battle of Changsha. The character is a stark contrast to the one in The Brightest Star in the Sky.

I think it is definitely worth watching. It's a realistic slow burn story so if you need everything to be fast paced and have a lot of action this won't be for you. But if you want a historical drama with talented veteran actors, witty dialogue, and realistic sets and storyline then you'll love it. One of the few dramas I think that actually deserves its 8.9 rating.

Oh man that's disappointing. I just started reading the novel and have been really digging it so far, what a bummer.

That was me with Goodbye My Princess. But it was too late lol I had to keep watching.

1. The Story of Ming Lan (this one looked hella boring to me at first too but trust me, it's soooo fantastic. Best historical drama I've ever seen)
2. Goodbye My Princess
3. Princess Agents (open/incomplete ending, just an upfront warning)
4. Eternal Love (this one takes about ten episodes for it to really pick up)
5. Journey of Flower ( super shitty cgi that some people can't overlook but if you can then it's a really great drama)

I gotta add another Zhao Li Ying character, Ming Lan from the Story of Ming Lan. She was so freaking badass in the most subtle devious ways. My favorite female character ever.

Is there subs for this yet? I can't seem to find it.

Don't worry, he doesn't get a happy ending.

Woahh is he really only 24? I thought he was in his thirties for sure.

Thank you:)

I haven't found anything quite as good as Ming Lan but here are some of my other favorites:)

The Battle of Changsha
Eternal Love
Goodbye My Princess
All is Well
A Love So Beautiful

No problem:D It's one of my favorites, I really hope you like it!
