I just knew people would hate it.
But not me though because im loving every little things about it. But a litte advise to the saddist, serious drama fans that prefer 100% perfection on story line, hair style, facial expression, sound effect, interesting Dramatic boohoo crying all the time drama, this is not for you. Dont watch it then no sadness fall upon you unless you actually like sadness rent free on your mind. All this is because you hate it but you still watchng it.This is a SITCOM
You hate this sitcom then you would probably hateall kinda sitcom all together just because you cant relax.
I love all 8 characters
Sewan
Jamie
Minnie
Sam
Hyunmin
Hans
Terris
Carson
They did a very good job.
Its a perfect "light hearted" sitcom to relax your mind and think about the reality. Well i get it no one likes reality but everyone deserve a relax moment and a smile on your face after a stressful daily chores.

By the looks of it I can't differenciate both animated & drama
As per title i'm going to write why i like this drama. The truth is i am no comic/manhwa reader but this is drama is worth watching and i will watch again in the future because of the ZYC and his fighting skill.There's a big different in drama casting by a skill and non skill martial arts.
The story not as bad as others think and most importantly, if you are not into deep depressing drama, you can try
watching this for stress relieving. A bit of comical humor.
I'm gonna give the most credit not only to the casts but the staffs on the make over/make up artist and costume
maker. They looks exactly like the animated ones, that's very impressive.

Don't worry it's not a heavy historical drama
I loved it because its based on historical figures but certain parts were quite confused as it leaves a big gap and some historical figure were not included in. I understand that this only be done because its only 46 episodes but I would still watch it if its 100 episodes because I would really love to see Emperor XuanZong transformation. The final episodes has a big gap of him ordered Princess Taiping to be poisoned leaving me confused I hated that because its totally ruin his good personality from the beginning of this story thus my disatisfaction was only left here.As for Mengfan, I really love her personality and it is a good ending for her to spend the rest of her life out of Palace. I would do the same if I was her too.
Mengfan utmost respect was still with Emperor Wu until the end. Wu zetian indeed an iconic figure in the whole story despite of her evil past.
This history story is a rewatch able series unfortunately most site do not provide English sub for it. I already watched twice. I still suffered the hangover from the ending jump leap from Emperor XuanZong and Princess Taiping

For comparison purposes
I don't read comics or manwha but i love arts.Previous Bu Liang Ren was more on complicated fighting scenes but this part 2 was more on mental war, it became slower after ep.13 because of relationship and family issue. Its still worth watching though. But those that's looking for romance or shipping , this drama is just not IT. I just adore the similarities of looks on the animated one with this drama version.
Hopefully they make another season with all same casts , i'm looking forward to more martial arts.

Are you ready to watch it in a loop?
Before I start, those that are interested in deep depressing drama/crime solving drama and those shippers of Zyc with other actress. These drama may not be your cup of tea.If you just wanna escape from depressing stress life with a simple drama and outstanding leads chemistry, this drama could be one of your choice.
Let's begin according to my headline.
Yes I'm saying this because I'm pretty sure NOT ONLY ME was curse(in a loop) after watching this.
You'll rewatch this drama so many times and you don't even know what to do about your hangover.
When a drama with rewatching value so high(for me) , you'll know its a very good drama.
The only thing I don't like is "it ended"
Most of kdrama or cdrama I watched I will remember how I hated the bad guy so much but with this drama. The love chemistry these main portraits will outdo whatever evil things you remember and left you with "loving feelings" hangover. And to top that, if you can understand Chinese verbally, you will enjoy every bits of their "behind the scene" moments which you can easily found in YouTube.
So enjoy :)

To a point my son asked me....
Did the dad found Xianglun dead body in the demolished building? I told him, his dad probably just found one drop of blood on piano key.My son was confused as he is now just 10 yrs old, he thought that in the story the main actor and actress can travel anytime and anywhere with any piano.
Anyway it's quite a genius time travelling story using the the speed of playing on one music piece to determine the voyage year where he/she traveled.
And it make sense on how first person can only sees her on each several times travelling.
How the sweat and blood made them permanently stays at one time space.
I have to watched it back again because I saw the news of Korea going to remake this and also I was screen viewing on the whole movie to find the older version of Xiaoyu at the back scene, she was alive until the younger ver. past away and both ver. diminished forever.
In other words the Xiaoyu version that Xianglun in luv with was already dead.
And I also think that Xiaoyu was always in a loop of travelling in timeline hystory. Can't explain why I think that way.
But I would like to add my own story version which are
The tear- erases memory
The blood - will make the piano player visible to everyone when they reached their destination.
Next i want to add is the music. Ahh the theme song was so catchy aswell as the rearrange final scene version piano cover (Super Secret by someone i didnt know his name)
The Korean movie version has yet to come out but I know its going to be decent at some point. Most of the time the original piece will engrave deeply in viewers heart.
Just like how Korean Queen Inhyun's Man, I preferred the Korean version if compare to the China remake version.
This movie deserved all the awards they won. And Jay Chou involvement in directing of this movie, he casted on it, the music he created in this gave more sentimental view on it. He is really a remarkable musician.

Worst graffic effect. Underwater swimming scene with a blower over the actress hairs without being damn or wet. Storm with splashing of water obviously poured by buckets of water. Watching and condemning every episodes.
Trust me... If you are a woman with self respect just don't watch or your grey hair will appear

I can no longer continue
I'm having a difficult stress life, I can't watch this drama, I am regretting actually. So Ep. 16 was the furthest I went. It's very painful and LOADS of backstabbing and betrayal.It's not my kinda choice to distract my stressful life. Sometimes I just wonder whats the point of Emperor having many sons when he can't even trust any of them.
I so sorry Zhang Ye Cheng, I was original here to support your role but it's too painful to watch the whole drama. I'm just glad he gets the role, he's very adaptive to whichever role he took apparently.
Good luck to those that can endure this drama.
