I just discovered this drama and can't stop watching it and am up to ep.30. It's interesting how a lot of dramas other's love are boring to me, yet this one that I find so amazing a lot of people don't! This drama for me is such a rich tapestry. I love watching the scenes of ancient China and the culture; the qigong type of energy work, healing and fighting, etc.. I love watching the friendships and relationships between the characters. The only weak parts I thought were the opening scenes of the drama. I thought they could have done better art work for that and then the monster vine was just plain stupid. Otherwise I wish I had discovered this when it was ended because it is going to be hard to wait for 1 episode a week once I catch up.

I really liked the first season and thought that that original version was the best. Ariel Lin is just wonderful in this. The only part of the first season that was lacking were her two girlfriends. I found them and those scenes kind of blah.

The second season starts of good but now so far up until ep. 11, which is where I am, I am so fed up with Zhi Shu's blase attitude. He didn't look that interested in his wife even before his supposed jealousy. The body language tells it all. He only steps up to perform the good husband act when he really has to. This is one of the most boring marriages I have ever seen on film so far. I hope it get's a lot better quickly. At this point I wish she had married one of the other two guys who loved her. They have been so much more interesting.

It is so disappointing as this had so much promise at first. As far a this following the normal ups and downs of a marriage I think that that would only be in the case where the man finds out that he isn't really that interested in the woman he married. Being needy isn't love. All I see and hear is that he needs something from her but then he appears to find it annoying too.

I am really enjoying though the stories with her nursing friends. These are so much better than the 'friend' scenes in season 1. Also the ad lib type of joking between the two fathers is genuinely funny as in season 1 too. Love the mother too.
