Is this easy to follow from the start? I dropped Nirvana in fire due to it being way too complicated at the beginning.
It’s a mystery and presented in such manner, so I’d have to say it’s not that easy to follow at first, especially if you have to read the subtitle at the same time. I’ve only seen 2 episodes so far. The translation is pretty good though and iQIYI did a great job in translating people/characters/roles/titles/Locations/venues/scripts. I would recommend the series for the superior cinematography and directing, grand production, and story telling alone. Plus… Wang yibo to seal the deal.
I’m very impressed so far with Luoyang up to episode 2. Grand production and great cinematography. The quality is high and sharp. The first fighting scene is packed with actions as we’re introduced to the main characters. The story telling style is very Dectective Dee, thus so far everything is a grand mystery to the viewers as we try to piece clues together.
Having Wang Yibo as one of the trio leads also doesn’t hurt.
Very excited to have a new great series to look forward to for the next couple of months after 6 months of flat series.
After reading the response and explanation from Ji-N, the admin, posted by HappyBirdEgg, I feel our time here in this TLB's comment section is coming to an end as it's not sustainable.
I will refrain from posting too much to this community (TLB) going forward. Hopefully, when You are My Glory and Our Times (aka Set Sail) air, we meet again under those new comment sections. Those two dramas are set to broadcast soon. I can only hope that they are great shows so that we have enough substance to discuss and recreate the same energy.
The saddest thing to happen would be once we leave here, our comments/virtual space are wiped out. So, my only agenda now is for us to fight for TLB to stay #1 for comments, and that if the admins were to delete any comments, the count stays as #1 - because TLB deserves it. For us diehard fans who are active here, make an effort to raise a support ticket when you revisit TLB page and see deleted comments that resulted in comment count decrease.
I received an email from Amazon that "Authentic Chang'An Cookbook" and "How to Prepare Herbal Soup Cookbook" have been sent. It's confirmed that Ah Sun received the order already!!
I guess his next trip is to the local asian supermarket for ingredients.
Now, just need to see him in an apron and messy man-bun.🤣
One thing, these people are dying of neck scratches when the MCs have been cut and stabbed multiple times but…
Ohh, love the "neck scratches" term. That's a new one here, but I LOVE IT! We got some cool ones, too. Such as GS-PTSD for GeSun-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder who those who finished TLB but can't move on, and Ice Cube as a nick name for Hao Du. There are a few more but I don't remember at the moment. Maybe some posters here can add in what they remember.
Warning: there will be a few more neck scatches before the show ends....all deadly, except one!
We come out to play when you're not around. =PIt's a virtual social experiment on inclusivity/exclusivity. (guess…
@Linh you're a strong woman! Just practice the "lean in" strategy and bring your own folding chair to sit at the table. =) ⑁ <=== there, a chair emoji.

AS said it when he found out CG escaped from Li ShiMin's home. The other person is Su YiShe, one of AS's men, in episode 4 when CG approached AS's caravan to help her leave Chang'An walled city.
Having Wang Yibo as one of the trio leads also doesn’t hurt.
Very excited to have a new great series to look forward to for the next couple of months after 6 months of flat series.
Hope it’s captivating!

That man does every well, including cooking for the first time. Sorry, I refuse to see it any other way for our warrior. =)
P.S. (He may have checked YouTube on "how to clean and cut up a whole chicken.")

PLEASE HIDE YOUR ANSWER BEHIND SPOILER TAG.
I will post the answer about a day later.
In episode 5, during the drinking scene between AS and CG:
1) With what name did CG introduce herself?
2) What is the name’s meaning she provided to AS?
3) What did AS help her do in this scene?
Looking for 3 answers.
