ChunTian:Anyone from the 21st century who thinks the ancient royal or noble life is a good life has not watched enough palace dramas. ?
Their marriages are not for love. It is for alliance, so what can one say if the husband is asked to take on more concubines? Even if all was peaceful between CX and XinYue, her role as Emperess is not easy also. And when the kids come, it's competition to see who gets the throne. More politics.
If I was born back then, just merchant class is good enough. Maybe scholar? LOL I am staying away from the palace and the nobles. Unless it's Jing. ?
Hahaha, I would not want to live in the palace
Sunbath12:I sped through TTEOTM and I liked the mortal arc stuff the best (Xiao Lin of course). The other stuff...not so much. I think even between that drama and LYF, you can see how much DW improved in his performance as well. There's much more for him to work with in the character of TSJ (until the second half of S2 lol).
Xiao Lin is the best. Right, Deng Wei's acting improved much in LYF
casie:I'm looking for what to watch (2024), anyone? Are there active people here on this thread?
It's been a disappointing year (for me at least) in C drama land. I've been taking a break largely. Some things I did check out recently that were ok were Melody of Golden Age and Love of Nirvana.
I heard Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty (I and II) were good, but it wasn't up my alley (at least for now).

It's the same for me, like a day period
Thank you, I've watched several trailers but nothing has caught my attention big time, I think I'm being very choosy this time 😂
Love of Nirvana seems angsty. Can you provide more information? ♥️
I will check the trailers of the 3, thank you
oturanh_grinmjk:Like she said Melody of Golden Age is good. I have not finished because of bad translation before but now is good, you can try. I'm watching a drama with the same male lead Love Game in Eastern Fantasy,
Wait, so it was Ding Yu Xi for Melody?
I saw the trailer for Love Game but it's just okay to me, I don't get the comedy of Esther's role although I love Ding Yu Xi in costume dramas 😂
Can you also provide more information? Are u up on the latest epi?
casie:Really? I only know AYTO. I thought of watching it but after so many days, it lost its spark ?
Rise of Ning is a happy ending? No draggy plot?
It's not draggy, the female lead is smart and doesn't believe what she sees easily, she investigates situations. The most annoying character is the second male lead and the flashbacks with him,

They had a child? I like that ♥️
The SML is obsessed with FL? Love triangle? He took an arrow for her, did he die?
I saw goose hahaha real? CGI?

She was young at that time and their story ended not good, she was scared of him. He died in the end,
It was a son. I think the goose was real but its role just disappeared after its owner got married 😭
casie:Love of Nirvana seems angsty. Can you provide more information?
Yeah, it's not a light drama for sure, but it was at least a good story with good performances. If you don't like sad/bad endings, it probably wouldn't be a good one to start.
Melody at least has a happy ending.
Just started Love Game in Eastern Fantasy - it's fun, light (so far). If you like Ding Yuxi it's worth checking out. Esther is...Esther lol, much like in LBFAD, but it's not bad.

He died, that's good 😂 Why scared?
I think I will look forward to meeting that goose
