Okay, I have Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace on my wanna watch list but in all honesty I am afraid to watch it after reading the reviews on how brutal the story of their relationship is.  I am quite tenderhearted and though it says the show is amazingly well done, it's no walk in the park.

Lol, I just realized I gave you the wrong info. The friend I talked about watched The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion. Sorry, my brain on Friday was only half-focused. Forget what I said. XD

What a coincidence. I added this to my PTW 2 days ago. This gives me an extra motivation to pick it up soon. ;)

I started it I think one or two weeks ago, I watched only the first three episodes but from what I've seen it has awesome visual effects and it's really fast-paced 🤩 Need to pick it up when I'll have a little time to watch it in one go!

Oh snap!  I just finished watching The Rebel Princess and boy do I have a new crush...Xiao Qi/Zhou Yi Wei!!  Hot damn that fellow can handle himself in a power role.  I'm SO impressed and smitten.  His quiet power, integrity and caring feels like a tall cool glass of water after being in the desert.  Well done <3 ... and now I am also needing to watch The Longest Day In Chang'an just to see him more :D  Yes I am a sillyhead! :D

I love Xiao Qi in TRP as well! His personality was just perfect for the dangerous court, and he is also a very caring and smart ML. We do need more historical MLs like him.

I think Zhou Yi Wei is the perfect actor for the role of Xiao Qi. It's one of the rare occasions where my expectations of how a  general looks and the  reality aligned.  His performance is strong and portrays the character perfectly.

I finished The Longest Day in Chang'an and in a amount of keywords it was magnificent, strong, well-written, smart and ...huh....it's so much more and because I'm not the best writer it's best when you are interested to read the following reviews I agree with from @MintChocolate (short),  @Jenny ("normal") and @PeachBlossomGoddess ( extended and detailed version.)

I wasn't planning on watching any drams for a while but I've been on this website quite too often these days and seeing The Longest Day in Chang'an mentioned here, I impulsively started watching it. Currently up to episode 9  and my anxiety level is up at the ceiling but I can't seem to stop watching.  The show is intriguing and so good. 

Lately I have noticed that even though I like to watch fluffy dramas I seem to enjoy  the more intense shows more.  So glad to find this club and  come across these dramas which I would  not normally watch.
