Good series

I enjoyed this series. It was a bit slow and redundant in a few places but it got really interesting later into it. I liked the main characters and watched it mainly to see Deng Wei whom I really like his acting. Dylan Wang was great too. This has some good twists and turns to the storyline. I would recommend it too. I also like the girl who played the little bird character as she was very interesting in her role. I think Deng is getting some challenging roles after see him in Lost You Forever. This role was equally challenging as he was really quite different. I liked all the people chosen for these roles. Well acted in general.

Omg!!

Wow what a story this one turned out to be. !!! Never seen one like this before and not done yet. Kudos to the person who wrote this! In the world of potion , poisons, and elixirs. Uh yeah what could go wrong. !!! I love this ML... I've tried to watch everything he is in ... and he is GOOD ... the acting in this one I'm pretty sure not just any guy could pull this off. Amazing job, and brave of him too to do it w so much class. So the FL also does a nice job not so challenged but I had a hard time liking her at first. I can't do spoiled baby girls too well. Boring. But her role grew and changed and really got better in time. Losing her family. I didn't know if I was going to get through that myself. Lol. So sad. ?. Anyway I highly recommend if you like romance, but the unusual, a really different type. Right up there w Lost You Forever in level of high drama, really pulled you in and took you for a great story ride ... thank you everyone who was on this one. It's up in my top 5 so far as it just kept spinning a really great tale. I haven't seen the ending so hopefully it doesn't break my heart. Ugh. You begin to feel like part of the family while watching some of these. I love the classy approach on most of these dramas.

Great series!

I really loved this one. A great storyline and it kept moving w great adventure and purpose in the series. It was well acted. I loved the casting in this series .. all very good acting. The main couple had great chemistry to make it work too. I really liked the supporting cast as sometimes their storyline is not so interesting but these all were. This writer is a good one. Would like to follow her more. The adventure kept moving into a wild yet interesting ride. I was hooked also by the romance in this particular series. Sometimes some characters just act but not too believable in their romance but all of these couples were very charming and had such a warm feeling in their roles. I m new to these series in general but so far I'm really appreciating them in a way I didn't expect. They have the ability to carry you off into their world and you really look forward to each new show. Ha ha ! ?

A bit conflicted storyline.

First I d like to say as a non Chinese speaking person I was really sad at the subtitles being small, white, and barely readable. Plus no music lyrics were translated in this series nor signs, etc which I feel gives a viewer a better effect and understanding for the series effort made by all involved. I love knowing the signs on the buildings. Call me crazy but it all goes into the entire effort of the production. That being said I would like to next say I love Bin Bin in everything he does, even as a bad guy role, but honestly in this series I feel like he carried the entire series and was the good guy. I didn't like the little crybaby role of Jing as he just couldn't get through life, drinking, whining, even Han did better in moving forward in finding a path of action to feel alive . I felt Jing didn't deserve any woman he was so conflicted. I was very interested in the historical aspect of this drama but will have to look it up separately to see what was real. I am aware of the concubine issues however and how the politics of them became extremely out of control at times and eventually subdued and changed. (I think..,? ) Anyway I did not like Dal in this role, but I did not even like the female lead created for this role at all. It was extremely unbelievable. The king has this sweet memory of who she was and how she protected him but in the action she seems unaware of who he is and treats him pitifully even though choosing to go live w him to save her lover? I just didnt even find this believable. Also the sleeping together stuff. She slept w both guys but do we know if she really could be carrying the Kings child in reality and not Jings? She is so naive in general just unbelievable and then running away w/o her child. ,??? No way. Bad mom. Again not believable plus getting a soldier killed and her maidservant beaten etc. How could she not know this in these times if the king was so awful. Then comes back and tries to kill the king w a hairpin. Again I'm rolling my eyes thinking really unbelievable. How much hate and vengeance when she could have just stayed w Jing. And her reasons were like blah blah blah I have no brain. So between this crazy stuff and Jing acting even less interesting in character I really focused even more on the Kings good attributes and the harem soap operish drama scenes of the mean girls club like effect which were really funny and enjoyable to a point. I wanted to see the Dowager cut off FL s hair in prison Lol. I felt she deserved it based on her brainless behavior. Plus in real life I'm pretty sure she would have gotten worse. Also her maid comes back w no scares. C'mon people slashes across the face make scars even w the greatest of medicines. I think it would have added even better drama for the maid and Han to keep their slash scars to seal the effects of FLs selfish behavior. Plus scars on the face show great character in drama roles ...Ok anyway ..... lol . I will continue to watch this to the end only as I would like to see who lives and dies and if lil Tian really becomes a good man due to the King who seems to be the only sensible person in the lead roles. It sure wouldn't be Dil who is always full of hate and seemingly not kind or gentle with any nice redeeming qualities shown thus far. She also is a liar. Hypocrite. Calls everyone else a liar while she lies. This is why I can't buy into her character in general. (I do like her as an actress in general though, just not this character role) ...Just nothing there to like plus far too many blank face looks which shows lack of depth. In closing I absolutely loved, loved the costumery, clothing, hair, settings, and the visuals, the fight scenes and the elders cast in those drama. Fine acting there. It was all very beautiful, enticing and great work there. I loved the dress Dil wore in her sword dance. Beautiful!! The look backs get boring and tedious, had to scroll past the umpteenth time of seeing the same ones over and over again. I do like the storyline in general despite the FL s just not making any sense overall .
Ok so the ending was a joke. I mean really?? FL just made no sense, had no loyalty and ruined everything she touched. She was the bad person. Not the king.

Interesting storyline

I think this drama overall is pretty good. It's well acted and the story moves along but the love interests don't and this bothers me. I hate seeing Feng spinning out if control which makes no sense as he becomes undefined, and that creepy woman hanging onto him is so icky. Lol. But I love BinBin so I hope for a good ending. I m not crazy about Xie as he keeps acting desparate, lies to Ge'er and does really dumb things to push the relationship. I identify w his behavior as only being selfish in what he wants. All 3 men in Ge 'ers life are jaded. Even the Prince eventually. But at least he tries. I'm trying to hold interest to finish the series at around ep35 and hope that if Ge 'er doesn't love any of them she will just get Flame back for herself... will see. I think she could bring Feng back to reality and be a better match though as he just needs to find his true purpose. Eh maybe they will kill him off too. Who knows. Lol. I did like the elders in this series. What a fine cast of older men playing fathers and heads of state etc. Very fine casting there. When you watch this many episodes in you become part of the 'family' and begin to hope for good outcomes so I hope the bad guy gets his due in the end. Lol. He is a creepy looking one. Anyway overall it's a pretty good drama, I would recommend it if you can stand BinBin in a 'bad guy' role. I m not liking that though. Ge'er is very good and I think she is well worth watching and enjoying in this drama.

Excellent series

I started watching Lost You Forever after seeing A Love So Romantic. I'm new to these shows but love them. In Lost You Forever I thought the acting and story line was very good. I'm hooked and will look to see all 39 episodes. I'm at 36 now, waiting to finish w the Eng translation. I feel like the main Princess character is an excellent actress. I've seen comments where some don't think she s pretty enough. I think she is and her personality shines through her work. This love triangle of her, Jing and her brother is interesting. I really like both male roles and feel their acting is really good too. Jing (Deng Wei) is so diverse in this role. So many things pushing his life around. Anyway Im interested to see how Season 1 ends. I hope we don't lose too many of the main characters as they all figure in immensely . I have not read the books and won't til later as I don't want to compare. Anyway I would recommend this one but not sure what typical Asian viewers enjoy, but I think it's great and the costumry, the acting and story line is really good. One more thing a girl taking on a male role in the beginning episodes due to story line, that hooked me, it's hard to do, and I think she really did a good job, but then totally transfurmed back into this beautiful princess role later and to me was just amazing....Thank you.

Excellent

I absolutely loved this drama ... I had to look it up and ask others as to the true name of this series as it was being called something else on YouTube and I wanted to know the actors in it. Thankfully many kind people on here replied and told me it's real series name. This story has great romance, action, many good characters and storylines and held my interest right up to the final episode. I really felt all the actors were very good and the ML and FL really kept it strong and interesting. It s one of my faves and I will watch it again . I think it kept a real sense of love and family in it through out. Kudos to all involved in this series!!

Love this series!!

I love this series. I'm so hooked... oh geez .. lol. All these fine actors and such deep characters w great storylines.. I really like everybody . I can't think of one actor I don't like, they're all so good. I really like the ML as he is so interesting, like not a super hero yet I just keep thinking what will he do next or what will happen around him. The FL is cute, funny, sweet and really a straight forward girl. I like the setting, all the ladies and their fun moments, etc. Very telling for us girls. ❤️. Anyway I will see this one through hoping for a good ending . I imagine the book for this story must be very good as well. Thank you.

Interesting twists and turns

I love the way this drama twists and turns making you pay attention thinking that it is not so ho hum like others. Never seen a wife so mean. Lol. Nor a husband just take it. But it doesn't stay that way. I did wander if they had any real feelings. I picked this drama as my fave Deng Wei is in this one. He 's so great. I like him in everything I've seen him in so far. This has a good cast too. I can't wait to see how it ends. I wonder that it may not be a happy ending but don't know. I do like the fantasy aspect in this particular drama as it s not so dark as some are. The FL is a really pretty girl and has a special draw , charming, yet ornery.

Great start, but dwindles fast.

First of all I would like to note I love Zhang in this drama. His acting and his presence is absolutely great. This story has a great start w Buqi and uncle and then as it progressed it became very tedious and almost unbelievable. You are hoping the ML is not really falling in love with his sister. ......???? Not good. ?. Then finally it's clarified , but then many many EPS without Zhang n Buqi even together. I found myself not interested at all in the Dr. coming in and didn't even like his character. Not honorable and a Dr. ?? Boo. Not so believable and Buqi is not that gorgeous. Lol although I liked this actress immensely for her spirit and positive energy. If this has a bad ending as I'm not done I ll be quite disappointed because I think the writer or the series people took a bad turn in not doing justice to a story line that could have been super great. But I'm not into tragedy and overly romantic downers in my dramas. Give me a great ending especially if I m watching through more than 30 episodes... its like killing the dog in the end. ? ANYWAY I will look to watch more of Zhang in his dramas and movies, etc. as I really like his acting. I m beginning to note a tedious drama line playing out regarding romance in some of these dramas and I just have to say don't wear me out or kill me over a simple romance. Lol. I love romance but if drug out to point of misery Im over it and looking for a new series before the present one ends if so tedious. Im not even sure I can get through this one now because if Buqi ends up w this Dr. I will be like well there ya go beggar child gets loser husband and didn't learn anything in life ... not even how to protect herself. Tragedy.
Will have to move on. I do like all the actors in this series. They are really good and Mo mom was very believable... bad mom .. lol .. ?. Mo son was a big let down tho. Anyway over all I seeing a big benefit of shorter dramas like 30 EPS as storylines seem to be much tighter and genuine.

Great series

This is a good series I just happened on to it ..
I love Li Lu he is the moving fur e in this series. Full of personality and well acted. The start of it was a bit weird and I m not crazy bout these baby like voices of some of these female roles but getting used to it Hey tough girl give me a tough voice. Lol. Seemingly gits the part better but the demons are very acted and chosen w great people in this one too. Will be interesting to see where it all goes. I like the action and it s very roantic in a good way not dilly like constant fights etc. Between the two .

Great action

This is a great series so far as it starts off with a bang and keeps going with lots of action. It's a good storyline. I've enjoyed it's fast pace. I m not crazy about the FL as she s a bit of a nut and is a bit trying but there are so many other great characters I manage to keep interest. I think she s a good actor but not crazy about her role. Otherwise it's all very good and well done. I like that it doesn't get too heavy on any one character or direction. It keeps me wanting to get to the next episode. The love interests get a bit of too much bickering which isn't cool or sophisticated but it's not a lot. I look forward to seeing more and how it will end. The filming is good, locations, etc.
