Trailer:

Chinese dramas always sound so interesting, like this one, but I don't really like how they act. I haven't given up because I have hope there will be another where the acting is like Startling By Each Step". I'll check if I can find it anywhere with subs.

The synopsis looks interesting! However, when I watched the trailer, it felt like it's gonna be full of blood and revenge! I hope it's not as heavy as it looks.

Did you find it with subs or do you understand the language?

And no, I only understand 'Hao' and 'Shie shie'. :P

My Chinese is about the same, haha. I wanted to add that while I too will be using Viki for this drama adventure, Dramafever will eventually have Prince of Lang Ling available as well. That means an eventual add to Hulu, for those that like to use devices connected to their televisions.

I so freaking wanted to watch this drama about a month ago but now I kind of lost the mood LOL I will totally come around it someday though.

OMG! I am currently watching this drama and loving it so far. I saw an MV of this drama and it caught my attention, but yeah it going to be so bloody. William Feng and Ariel Lin are great actor so this should be good!

Just finished Ep 1 and must say the graphics are smooth and the presentation of the story is creative. OTP has >an interesting first meeting...<

Watching this along the same pace as dapinaymrs. This drama is incredibly addictive so far, marking the first time a drama has grasped my attention so firmly from the start in ages. It's surprising more people haven't seen it. Oh, and William Feng is a total dream here. That's less important than the show being enjoyable (it is), but still true.

Ohhh finally, subs!! :D I'm going to start watching this very soon!
