Up to ep 16 and I'm enjoying the beautiful people with their problem agendas. Will their union endure when meany from Medicine Valley arrives to take blood sample?

This was and extremely satisfying series and I hope we will see much more of Zhao Yiwei in this role. The tension could be cut with a knife as he rises off his sickbed to come to the rescue of the intended sacrifice and his beloved. Their tender embrace and the end says it all. I hope this drama is successful on Netflix so go and give it two thumbs up on that site.

The sexual tension in bromance is great, but they never get to suck face.

Fat Chance,

The Lantern Case is causing ripples because of the bizarre deaths that happened during the festivities. Behind the evil curtain is the wheelchair guy. The Young Master didn't take long to reconize her so why is it taking the man who is supposed to be in love with her such an age. We need a little action here and not so much delayed gratification.

I guess that's how they frame it, but I've heard endless stories about how both female and male actors are pressured into starving themselves for roles especially for historical drama outfits

Ok, but I miss the original Cai Wei's more voluptous body type, not into skinny.

Just finished ep 2 and the face changing thing just to have a female lead that is unblemished stinks. The 'real' Cai Wei was just too interesting a character to make her 'flawed face' go away. Boo hoo.

Started watching this and burst out laughing at how father and son looked like their hair exploded on their heads. Not sure I can take this seriously enough to keep watching it.

Just started it and am not familiar with the actors but this looks like it will be a winner. Let's hope.

Thank you for your recommendations. I like Kdramas very much but tend to watch mostly historical ones like My Dearest and Captivating the King. Best wishes.

Totally absorbing action-packed drama. Many bad guys getting their just desserts, but evil still lurks so there is a need to continue this battle. Go Disney go.

I'm with you here but we seem to be going against the stream of gushing fans of this drama. I was so looking forward to another Wu Lei endeavour, but quickly got bored and couldn't continue. Besides the googly eyes, I was irritated by the FL who seem to only be able to communicate by texting. The location was colourless and uninviting. From all the positive comments I gather it got better later, but it left me cold so I didn't stick around.

Just rewatched The Legend of Ming'lan and it's tempting to watch The Legend of Shenli just for her, but I'm not a fan of the male lead and it looks like there is just so much Xenxia CGI when I prefer more intimate historical settings.

I'm a Jeremy Tsui super fan and loved Autumn Ballad. I forgot he was in Legend of the Phoenix was going to rewatch it but that main couple's relationship is so sado-masochistic it's hard to take. I"m enjoying this light-hearted drama and think all the leads are doing a good job. But, there's 14 episodes to go for me, so who knows.

That you've tried these medications is so interesting. I usually just get some powders or capsules from my Chinese acupuncturist. I did have a good naturopath who did acupuncture as well and would give tinctures for ailments. Sadly, he is no longer practicing. Be well and let's keep enjoying our Cdramas.

Agreed. There are some other tropes I find odd/hilarious. Most wounds get treated with some kind of powder but not much of it sticks to the cut. Some cut wounds don't get treated and are wrapped over top of the clothes. Herbal medicine gets brewed for hours into some black liquid put in a big bowl but nobody ever takes more than two spoonfuls. Who can blame them it's always bitter and if you're lucky you get to such on something sweet. When characters fall into unconsciousness they are always out for three days but seem to survive no food or drink and certainly don't seem to need toileting. Anybody with a steady cough (unless it's a pretend one) won't last very long. Spitting up blood is terminal, unless it's the hero. This pretty much goes for poison too. Everything can be diagnosed by reading your pulse. If you're lucky one or two needles stuck in just the right place will fix it. Suicide is invitably successful by putting your head into a silk chinstrap or bouncing your head off a pole. I'll stop here.

Just finished ep 8 so got a long way to go but am enjoying it so far. Blood on the blossoms and puke on the shoulder. This couple is getting pretty intimate. In these dramas slashing the palm of your hand takes only minutes to heal. That older sister is a clever one and the official at her side is thoughtful and good to look at.

Zhen is going a little overboard in you seductive outfit and manner. Still, she got the go ahead to play wifey and travel with the guy who is investigating the story of the flood disaster. Sister is finding out her happy married life is about to be upended but there's a guy with an umbrella waiting to protect her from the downpour.
