Ok, I'm done. Fraught with life and death issues this drama's only steadfast character was Chen Maidong. For his sake I'm happy he found love for however long it might last.
Ep. 15, I'm sticking with this because of Li Xian but it's tough going. That mother and daughter are totally toxic which spills over in everyone else's life. Granny has it touch with her companion terminally ill and her grandson permenantly unlucky in the women he picks. Another thing that is driving me nuts is how constantly when people are sitting beside each other they get filmed to the left of the other person and the in next shot they are to the right of that same person. Is this a problem with continuety? or are the filming some scened in the mirror? Anyone else noticed this or am I going crazy?
Just started watching this because of Li Xian. Turns out the other characters (actors) are great as well. The only one getting on my nerves is her mother's fast talking and annoying voice. I'm just on ep. 2 and don't know if I missed where this is supposed to be filmed (city)?
Just finished this. It was quite a journey. Not all the characters come out likable but they had to live through troubled times. It was very sad to see how flawed Solomon turned out to be. What a disappointment for his courageous grandmother. I admired Ko Hansu's devotion to Sunja but it seems Noa was the one who paid the price for their impossible relationship. Many excellent performances from supporting roles.
Ep. 23 is pretty horrendous. Mad Monster Mom gets Ming killed when her target was DouZhao. Ming's hubby is crushed by her demise, but was drunk and incompetent so the bandits went on a killing spree.
I got creeped out by her crying over the body of Fengze and all the mourning over Fengze and time spent on his funeral rites. Also that last picture of her in the snow standing by herself with that weird lipstick.
Mud and blood sport amuses Prince Bai but he can't get his birthday wish fulfilled. Our power couple's devotion does not get watered down. Four episodes to go in this getter more and more ridiculous drama. Should I stick it out?
It's the end of ep. 34 and things are not looking good. Yingying called the wicked Prince a psychopath and she's not wrong but the General must be a close second. I still think Jinglan is the best thing about this drama so please screenwriters do not mess with his happiness.
So we're up to 30 ep. and on a perilous journey. So far this brocade business has been somewhat ponderous. Seven Tan has always been a competent actor here she fills a hale and hearty female role. The only negative for me is her large hair updo which makes her look top-heavy and stiff. The ML is new to me but I'm quite enjoying his rebellious, but dedicated to her character. Her other admirers are a sad lot, with a nefariously underhanded ex and a cypher of a new suitor who wants in on the action. Other than her loyal female friend hardly anyone else is worth mentioning and that includes her brother. Where are we off to next?
It's CGI, no animals were hurt in making those scenes.
I know that intellectually, but I'm watching it emotionally and it affects me more than watching our hero getting hurt while mowing his way through hords of enemies out to kill him.
The bridegroom is dead on his feet. So not much of a wedding night. Not a hair was mussed out of place. Meanwhile, her other two suitors are at the whorehouse plotting to get her back.
Stop with the horse killing and maiming. This ruins the show for me. Men I can take as the fodder of violence as the have free will about who and what they are serving, but animals don't.
Looks like tht wet noodle of a brother has grown a spine. As fir the knight on the white horse he gets past t the gate but hords are waiting for him on his way to the wedding. Will he be able to toast the bride?
Yingying has too many people messing with her life, deperate women who are trying to bury her and powerful men who are trying to own her. She has good instincts about who is friend or foe.
