This character is a rehash of the role the FL played in Gank Your Heart, spunky and somewhat heavy handed. I did not have a good impression of her performance there. Hopefully she does have another attack on this role. Maybe try becoming a more sympathetic character.

I confused her with Crystal Yuan sometimes.

An asshole, this is perfect for Oliver Chen. He plays domineering and controlling yet sympathetic at the same time.

Love Oliver plus Ashes of Love universe interests me. It's been a long time since any xianxia drama captured my attention. I feel like they could still improve and make a better drama than the original unlike say TMOPB where the subsequent sequels could never do.

You should at least put this in a spoiler because it is one and second of all your long winding post and rant on why the ending was the greatest thing since apple pie does not sit right with me or a lot of people dissatisfied with this garbage ending. Also I don't give a damn what happen to Wang Dou's character. Your pathetic attempt at trying to blanket and sidetrack the real issue with your blatantly false reasoning is only match by the level of whitewashing in this drama. What I wanted was truth and justice to come to light because that is what the snake oil salesmen level screenwriters led me to believe from the start. I did not expect to be sold hot air and vacuous political diarrhea.

Whether it's autism or having an eccentric behavior, directors and dramas always gravitate to portraying mathematicians or scientists usually physicists this way. Why is that? Why stick with these stereotypes. I'm saying this as I also have a degree in mathematics and I don't recall having classmates and professors acting this way. Mostly normal people, a lot of arrogant and pompous people who think they are better than they are, plenty of reclusive ones like myself etc. but the Rain Man types aren't populating the math department as people like to believe.

There are 5 screenwriters in the credits. I wonder which genius thought of that train wreck ending and leaving an unsatisfactory and ending full of falsities or is that how it was written in the novel? I've read the screenwriters have taken a lot of liberties in comparison to the original material. I noticed that this drama, despite the cut scenes, was clearly and purposely written and filmed in such a way to illicit and make the audience believe of romantic relationships between the male leads.

How could they have cleared his name when the empress was also the instigator of the spying conspiracy. With another lie and cover up? It was a ridiculous ending and for all that talk of saving lives a lot of people still died in the end because her son and the true heir wanted revenge. The reason that happen is because the bootlicking ministers including the ML never confronted her during her regency and in the end they actually saved her reputation by not exposing her crimes. His dad was exonerated by another bold faced lie. It was a mockery of justice.

I don't agree with the recommendation of this being similar to A League of Nobleman. Even the garbage ending of that drama it's still miles better than this one in terms of balancing the personalities of the characters and limiting overdone acting. Everyone here irritates me. No offense but this drama feels so vulgar and poor taste. That's not an attack on the provincial and rural setting or the lack of esthetics in the drama. It is the atmosphere and having characters that have no sense of duty, elegance, propriety and decorum.

The crazy and eccentric mathematician act is so overdone . I wish they'd showcase more varied personalities when it comes to playing this role. The story is also boring as hell.

And an impostor one at that. Can you ever believe these two duo in the future imperial court talking about integrity, honesty and justice. It will be the most hypocritical conversation ever.

I knew after the flashback scene talking about vacuous and empty virtues like performing the greater good and choosing the lesser of two evils that this drama was going downhill and we'd end up with a cop out and whitewash ending.

I actually thought Liu Xiu Yi as Royal Uncle who is brother of the late emperor would be the one to replace the fake emperor in the end. Nope he does not show up.

Really! lesser of two evils. What a pitiful excuse to justify this grey ending. Everyone seem contented in the end to play the charade that justice was done. They could have easily made an ending were the conspirators both past and present would get their due but no. What we got was everything covered up with lies and the real truth just put aside.

So the ending was the empress crimes were not exposed. The truth of the conspiracy was covered up. The people who died because of the conspiracy would never get true and honest justice. And an impostor is on the throne. There is not a single honorable and honest person left in this drama in the end.

What a lousy ending! Did they have to make it look like they where trying to excuse the crimes of the evil b*tch. After everything that happened that was the ending they covered everything with lies. WTH was that!

Wang Yan and Lan Jue friendship and chemistry is the best and most natural in this drama. Lan Jue towards Zhang Ping feels more like noblesse oblige than a sincere connection. Even the emperor is more informal to Zhang Ping than Lan Jue.

Great to see Du Chun back in historical.

This is so presumptuous, misinform, and just plain personal opinion.

I had the same thought a few weeks ago when I was watching Blood of Youth and I went here planning to post a comment wanting Li Hong Yi and Cheng Yi in a drama. Anyway I decided against it because I thought it was inappropriate to demand when Li Hong Yi is not relevant to this drama. They would be the most believable brother pairing in C-drama. Thanks for bringing this up.
