  1. What century does this drama depict?

    After seeing beautiful horses in Ningshou and Xiao Qi's stallion i came across this bit of info ...

     

    The Chinese dedicated themselves for centuries to improving the horse both in terms of breed and numbers. In the reign of Emperor Wu Ti (141-87BC), at a point when the Chinese had already attained a great deal of expertise in their cavalry, an expedition was led against the Hsiung-nu barbarians. (4) The Chinese managed to seize their capital and capture all the best horses which were stabled there. Once they had acquired this large group of horses, they were able to cross-breed them with higher quality horses from Western kingdoms to the satisfaction of emperor and aristocrat alike. The exquisite Eastern Han bronze statue of the 'Flying Horse' pays homage to this breed. Light-footed, well-proportioned, capable of soaring like the wind, these horses were named Tien Ma, 'Celestial Horses'.

    and our beautiful smart animals...humanity is so lucky to have such great companions on our life journey....and our General whispers to his faithful steed go get help ..what a man, what a horse :star:

  3. Cao chingus :smiley:  I am just starting with this drama and up to ep 12/ 68 . I will try to read up on all 6 page comments before contributing my two cents lol..... but oh boy that Empress is ugly and her little whelp of cp is what you get with forced lovemaking i guess .  So far only the general earned his bread and butter, so his life and Awus are really worlds apart and for him to be married to her , no matter how it came about,  is so phenomenally 1 in million chances . What is a poor guy to do with a princess in an army barracks and open range.  I saw the preview of the next episode with two riding on one horse and I am assuming that they had their sweet night of loving or am I just wishfully thinking here?

  4. I just tuned in this week and caught up with this drama and posting my review. 

     

    Spoiler

     

    I love watching “Chinese” dramas because of exactly that , they are Chinese. The linguistics (I would never wish to watch a Chinese drama with an English  dubbing…yes reading is harder, but it’s the total package of sounds and enunciation, music and art that create visions for me , as well as deep desire to speak Mandarin LOL at my age  )

     

    C-dramas for me encompass multitude of worlds; the socio cultural achievements, particular system of values and principles of conduct, the creative skill and imagination, the original and the antique , the mortal and immortal Gods and Goddesses .

     

    I am totally for Rom Com , and the  Male lead is absolutely gorgeous :blush: , and definitely on my radar for future dramas.

     

    The reason I am not into this specific drama unfortunately is because of , how to describe it,   “dark and American soap opera vibe or mindset , you know the ones that it always has to show the sick and the demented , the murders and the ‘normal’ or what they call real, but for me it’s the lack of creativity and using ‘normal /real’ is a lack of excellent screenwriting.

    I get those on daily news , every day , every hour and that is why my tv has stayed shut for the past few years . 

    ok send me back to the kitchen .

  5. Talking about paragliding emotions in the finale...from  Alberto leaving DS , from another good bye  and separation ..north to north , south to south,   from father Ri totally supporting his son,  the few villains getting their send offs, from the amazing NiS agent showing Capitan Ri how to send messages ( i really liked how great Nis agents turned out in this drama) , from my comrade villagers and Seri's respect in honouring them :star:.   I am so glad that this drama remained totally humane to the end , giving us all a chance to promote PEACE in our own way and our own sharing. 

    Every year i get lucky and Adore some dramas , and add them as jewels to my drama  crown :love:    i will add CLOY for giving us a chance to step away from our usual pre conceptions and imagine / support something better, something that in practical way created a beautiful partnership for all.   

    Gamsahabnida Crush Landing on You

    I almost forgot, our National Treasure looks , i mean looks totally godly in the uniform, in the suits...but i loved the cool sweat pants and running shoes at the end ...lucky Se Ri LOL

    I love how DH don't even give a fart to her presence while he was sexing FJ with his eyes after he rescued her from the spitting fire monster. Loving the banter between FJ and DH. :joy: Can see that his admiration of FJ deepens after she explained why she helped to fight the monster.

     

    Sexing FJ LOL    i love it ....see we don't need phones when we can sex text telepathically  . @cheekychipmunk_stv  thank you for a good laugh here .

    FJ’s tails come out in episode 29 according to the trailers I believe. Donghua doesn’t have a true body as he came out of a rock. Yehua is a black dragon, Bai Qian is a white fox so their son, A Li is a white dragon.

     

    Thank you @darkphoenix123   so my little ALi is white dragon ...how cute is that LOL...:wub:.    

     

    So Donghua's story of him coming out of a rock is same here as was in 10M ... i am trying to watch ELOD as an organic drama so i am totally dependent on them providing me with certain type of information , so my sincere thanks for the help .

  8. Catching up ... my A Li is such a love, how dare that woman push him....i mean really does she not know whose precious son he is?  

    Loved the bath scene and Donghua's  newly acquired  fascination with FJ :blush:.     I thought that her tails came out in ep 26 but i guess i must have seen that for some other ep .    

    Also glad to hear that Ye Hua is still in bed :tounge_xd:...was it not ep 24 that he left the celebration early to start his honeymoon. 

    Si Ming , i love that guy...he and FJ are truly great buddies LOL

    and yes I love Donghua with his white/silver hair ...the emperor was good , but the white/silver hair is such a  specific trademark and totally sexy ...ageless really .  Is Dongua a white dragon ?    and i wonder what is my little A Li...dragon or fox ?

  9. How come the police did not take the sister in law immediately for attempted murder?  

     

    Poor JH it seems he will have more scars to show Se Ri .    I like what the drama has served us for the past 14 episodes; it made me more aware, more involved and sincerely cheering for this pair of humans that are trying their best to live a responsible life.  I like the possibilities that this drama birthed and i will wait with optimism that ep 15 and 16 will deliver :blush: the best .

  10. i caught up...finished ep 22  . Saw  my favourite goddess  but where is my Ye Hua :blush:  i know i know lol....but kidding aside

    i am glad QT will get his immortal status...in the ep 22  conversation with the playboy god and FJ's goddess friend they also mentioned that special flowers will be brought in from all over the universe for the festival, so i am hoping that QT's flower for immortality will be brought by somebody - poor guy definitely deserves it.  As for our DH wow its good to see him experience love and bring the tears all the way to the sky kingdom:D

    @Ameera AliAt least they talk about making babies not one baby but twins lol. But how will you make babies without action??? Telepathy... like poof whala here are your twins!!! As much as i love it i wouldn't mind seeing the process of making it just saying :tounge_xd:

    @Ameera Ali we will not be invited for that "process "  i think they think that we would go Ohla la ...and kind of push SeRi off the bed ..or something like that LOL

  12. Expectations expectations :flushed:  

    *   If i did not devour TMOPB for the past 3 years and started watching ELOD maybe i would not be nit picking LOL.... BUT

    in 10M  Tai Chen  Palace was impressive , i mean big and heavenly, and therefore we automatically knew that Dong Hua Emperor was a phenomenal entity ,almost a combination of Sun and the Moon and few other planets thrown in ..this Deity just based on his residence i could see  his immeasurable power  ==== in ELoD i see two story house painted in white ( ok a bit of exaggeration here but ..) 

    *    After watching 8 episodes all  " i can remember"    is Dong Hua petting the little red fox, and petting the little red fox, and feeding the little red for...and fish that nobody wanted to eat except his little fox.  

    *  Maybe my episodes did not have full or proper translation, but what i understood reading about this drama , it was supposed to be independent of TMOPB, but i did not hear properly or understood when Lillith threw all those red stones , who was she and how is she really his equal in strength and co creation ...he barely managed to seal her ...and he passed out only after few episodes by using his cultivation ....true,  both my Ye Hua and Mo Yuen kind of passed out for few years LOL but this is Dong Hua alllooo, 

    * I am not too keen on Deities exhibiting more stupidity than humanity, and his guards letting the dark lord just waltz in ...

    *Of course i will continue to watch the drama,  i also want to be at the YH/BQ wedding with Ah Li . 

    * Definitely a 100% thank you for the subs. 

  13. Baby you can have cushions and masks and mausoleum castles , but without your man to hug  and appreciate , all is  just sleeping pills. 

    Happy  New Year and see you in two weeks :blush:  

    p.s. These past 10 episodes were excellent and i believe the next 6 will be equally so . He is not a traitor nor defecting , there is a madman who threatened her and Capitan Ri is the only one who knows that , so since its NK prisoner on the loose, he definitely has  double purpose for being in the south.

  14. :cold_sweat: well ep 9 must be good because it got my eyes to water  all on their own.... happy and sad , but at least its better to have known love than be a zombie all life :heart: ...so whatever happens in the rest of the episodes , at least they gave it their all .

     I hope she sees her Comrades again and they see her ,..they could do so much if they got together and Korea would birth a new renaissance .   

    And did you guys see our village comrades, no matter how poor,   they are more generous than a lot of other people i know...so i am still sending love to those women and praising their endurance and trust in their national treasure....good man are hard to find LOL  

    Forgot to mention "those shoulders"  comrades , you are not wrong we also think he is special .

  15. If JH becomes NK's ambassador or foreign diplomat , would that not automatically authorize pretty good travel opportunities?

    If he is the one to bring evidence and have the 'lieutenant" brought to justice for the murder of his brother , would that not  be sufficient based on his past interactions in the West to be once again considered as part of diplomatic corp ?

     

    My reasons here are selfish, every one of us loves our countries no matter who is the leader , or president, or or.... but for him to not be able to see his comrades  ever again that  i would not like. For the women in the village, their national treasure brought sunshine and excitement from the daily humdrum working existence , so i would like Capitan Ri and SeRi to still be able to go there and contribute , even if its just their presence once a year , or have a beach oyster picnic , that would be treasured .

    @jadore1 hi! :lol: Nice to meet you again.

    Finally a drama which helps me overcome my serious withdrawal from Cdrama AMA! Am I the only one who's obsessed with men in military attire?:P

     

    I watch CLOY because I read that my bias Ha Suk Jin will be Hyun Bin's elder brother and School 2017's Kim Jung Hyun will be the 2nd lead but I was completely mesmerised by Hyun Bin!:heart:

    I'm so loving CLOY that I'm rewatching it and love the off the chart chemistry between HB & SYJ. It's sad that HSJ's role is only a cameo though. KJH is brilliant in his role as the conman and SJH is perfect as the cold, jealous 2nd female lead (just as in Black Knight).:love:

    Good to see you too @gladys57    :smile:i've been away so now i have 60 pages to catch up .  I did see ep 8 last night and our comrades are something else ...Capitan Ri certainly deserved that heart :heart:  for everything that he is doing for Seri .  My crack up was the mothers all over the world want their children to do well in school , but i am still in love with my comrade house inspector, the way she and her son are so honest with each other . Poor rat finally decided to do something and i am equally proud of him and his wife and also a bit apprehensive of the consequences .  The question of who is the culprit i hope anyone else but the trigger happy general or whatever is his designation .

  17. Catching up with 5 & 6.  My village house inspector is in a dog house :mask: , but what a great tribe of women coming to support Sari . I have to try dry pollock and beer next time lol.  Poor Rat , he loves his little son and his wife and little family , and yet his job makes him an outcast and i don't know how he will get back on track after such abuse by his superiors, but i hope he does .   

    I have decided that women should take over the world so we can get rid of stupid wars and male obsessed killings ...what it boils down all of the counties are piece of s....t when it comes to current systems .
