I agree w/ all u said ...as to the negatives ... I blame it on the director, some scenes were ridiculous or silly ... --->>> BUT the Gripping Story & the Passionate Acting are so "Incredibly Good", I could ignore the small details ...b/c of all the "feels" and the ultimate satisfaction....
the Only Asian-drama I saw w/ a true "Love-Triangle ".... she loves and was in a relationship w/ both men .... ..... ..... a "Roller-Coaster ride" .... ..... "Nail-Biting" to the end to see who she'll choose.... .... the heroine is Strong, Icy and Manipulative but kind, wise and intelligent .... .... until the end, viewers are split as to which man is their favorite ..... ...... .... .....Not typical drama at all !.... ..... .... loved it
Saw it a 2nd time ...love it even more than the 1st ..... so much more appreciative of the performances by the three leads ...... I now see more layers of meanings, more of the irony , the well developed (albeit sometimes unrealistic) characters .....
@ rainruma, I'm also a huge fan of Peter, hes hotteness all day long..love every bit of him... Any way, I been…
Thanx for info ...
I just discovered this movie on YT ... just added it to MDL: "Cold Steel"
Action flic Hong-Kong (2011) w/.... Peter Ho...Tony Leung Ka fei...Mickey He...etc...

Very charming and talented actor ... want to see more of him!
Love, love, loved him in "Cuo Dian Yuan Yang" ... handsome, manly, sexy ...and the ideal lover/husband XD
Lol Liu Shi Shi in a Yu Zheng drama? Somehow I don't see that happening any time soon, although she looks pretty…
Funny u say that about Yu Zheng! ..... I just finished "Cuo/Xi Dian Yuan Yang" ....It had 9th prince from "BBJX" ....
Surprisingly, I liked the first half (Season 1) Very Much.... and enjoyed the love the main couple showed more than that of Ruo-Xi & 4th Prince .... Loved the lead actor Qi Ji ....
Then I found that the lead actress , Zhao Li Ying (Zanilia), has starred in a few of his productions which looked interesting ..... but plots sounded familiar/'re-makes' (just as u said) !?
Thanks for the info .... as usual, u r very well informed :D
I want to watch it for Lee Wei & Xiao Xiao Bin (aka Wen Benny- cutest kid)
Where did you see it?
I guess he's 10 yrs old by now .... boys r always cuter at 5 y.o. ..... as he was - especially his performance and his role in "Autumn's Concerto"...
I would still want to watch it for Lee Wei :D ..... unless it's a typical T-drama w/ lots of silliness and drags on forever.
I couldn't finish it.... I no longer care what happens in the story.
Peter Ho is very good and Hot Hot Hot as always :D
Good chemistry w/ Janine Chang but it was Amazing chemistry b/w them in "Le Jun Kai"...
Stopped at ep. 10 after Peter Ho appears to her naked out of the shower.... BUT... Even that scene & dialogue were funnier in the "Behind-the-Scenes" clip .
I love Jang Hyuk and like him much better than the lead of the T-version .... Here he is much more optimistic, energetic and fun .... so I'll watch it for him ...<3
I only saw 1st ep. ..... conflicted about the show ....
I didn't like the silliness w/ the ring rolling around .....BUT, to make up for it
---> I loved the reference to "Chuno" ... the minute he took off his jacket to fight the dog....they played the 'fighting' music from "Chuno".... his 'fight' to end w/ a fizzle here, of course.... super funny! .....
Also, when the grandma punched the assistant in the arm, the way he imitated her w/ his punch.... Jang Hyuk's engaging sense of humour <3<3<3
Why do they keep changing it's name? ..... ...... it's the 3rd or 4th name already!
It's a sequel to "Ballad/Song of the Desert" ..... So .....
just keep it as "Song in the Clouds"!
Wow! .... I am surprised at how much I like this drama !!! I smile to myself and am so engrossed by the great chemistry of main couple!! Wu Ji and Huan Er are one of the best coupes in dramaland, very natural.
I Loved season 1 (ep1-25) very, very, much ... But , season 2 (ep 26-50) was bit slow w/ too many senseless scenes ( I skipped them and still got the gist of it.) ...... it focuses on the other brothers. .... <3 1st brother's love .... I liked 2nd bro's love story ..... 3rd bro's love story didn't have enough tension w/ his love rival.
This really should be listed as 2 seasons, that's how it aired anyway .... so that way , the ratings for the 2nd season would not drag down those of the 1st.
EDIT: I ended up creating a separate MDL page for season 2. So, ratings for this page are skewed towards the lower end from when both seasons were counted as 1 show instead of two.
Well you can guess the endind even without the opening... I meen it's the classic tragedy, the hero(let's put…
Exactly! .... You got the point of the ending and the violence ... and actors were perfect ..... ..... try watching "Sealed w/ a Kiss" or "Summer's Desire" a C-drama & T-drama.
Intense.... Raw emotion .... Great acting .... Very good writing.... BUT, in general, it needed to better explore the characters, simply too short !!
Love how it was edited..... ..... seems like a compilation of flashback ..... editing, lighting, music, concise scenes, close-ups ....all set the mood ===> expresses the intensity of the emotions .... and some insight into the complexity of the characters (falls short here)......
This is by the same writer as "Sealed w/ a Kiss" (aka SWAK) ..... The characters and Premise for the Plot are very similar to SWAK ... He marries her for "Revenge" and abuses her Emotionally/Psychologically w/ some "Implied" Violence..... obviously she loves him also ........ ===>>> So both have internal turmoil figuring out how to control love, when to hate and when to let go ......
I think the fact that this drama is so dreadful is because it's so short, so we only get the intense parts and…
The part that they fell in love is not done well.... I don't get the play part ... So, like you, I'm not sure why she fell hopelessly in love w/ him .... b/c even as her father warned her, she still went to Le Jun-Kai and married him knowing he killed her dad.....
For him, I think it was a combination .... so although he was seducing her in order to lure her into marriage and thus trapping her for revenge .... I believe he was genuinely attracted to her from the beginning .... During the marriage, he obviously fell in love w/ her as shown in the one scene where he espies her w/ wet hair and is seduced by her scent..... he doesn't answer her question if he ever loved her and walks away ..... He is denying it to himself ---> He's afraid of his feelings so he divorces her and kicks her out...
