Comparing Coroner's Diary and Unveiled Jadewind on what basis? Investigation? I found Coroner's Diary dull my friend loved it and I was sulking throughout!

Underline Overdo in red on your must skip list cuz that's ZLH and WCR

I found Coroner Diary really irritating in some parts . Unveil Jadewind is ok . I was hoping more from a drama starring Bai Lu and Wang Xinguye( it’s not even their fault ).

Agree!

Yu Zheng will definitely come back with this pair isn't Unveil their 3rd or 4th collaboration already!! WXY can do n dramas with his favorite jie

I also want to see WXY paired with Zhao Qing

I watched season 1 of Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty. Same with Under the Skin I watched Season 1 only

Pursuit of Jade is totally addictive kind drama.

Ps. When the heroine finds out the hero’s real identity and slaps him — I honestly found that scene so funny Like, why did she hit him, yaar? I felt bad for him!

Ig, she slapped him when he was leaving them. They did not want to be apart but had to. And he asked her if she will remarry someone else after he leaves? If she wanted someone like her ex-fiance that scholar-snake guy better than him. That's why she slapped him for speaking such nonsense 😂

More or less, the drama followed the novel closely.

Fan Changyu's arc felt a bit exaggerated and fast-forwarded in the drama. She didn't become a general just after stepping out of the carriage, like in the drama. She enlisted properly (didn't want to enlist under Xie Zheng, so she enlisted under old General He's army), started as a foot soldier, promoted to a commandent, and gradually became a general. Her plus point is her brute strength and uncertainty on the battlefield. All her attacks are labelled unpredictable. So it was easy for her to catch the opponent off guard and use it to her advantage in those few seconds. Later, Xie Zheng taught her combat skills that could channel her strength in the most useful way (at that time, she was still a commandant). I felt her journey was way too smooth in the novel with all these extra details, I'm not surprised that you found it odd in the drama

Ohhhh yea I forgot.... Xie Zheng annotated many military manuals for her to learn, so yea~ that's how she got her idea of arts of war!!!

Regarding her general arc being a step to match Xie Zheng's status - as shown in the alternate ending, if all these things didn't happen, she would have been born and brought up as a noble lady, so she claimed what should have been hers.

TMI: There's this rule that any official with a rank could only marry a daughter whose father was also a ranked official, if otherwise, the girl could only be a concubine, not the primary wife. Thus the line from Song Yan when he told he was willing to take Fan Changyu as his concubine. So was Fan Changyu made to claim her identity just so that she could be a Marchioness?? - Maybe.... but not entirely.

In the novel of pursuit of Jade, was there any mention of when the heroine fell from the mountain and the hero saved her and took care of her? Does she ever find out about it? In the series, it’s not properly shown ! she only mentions during a conversation that ‘you also lied in the mountains,’ but there isn’t any complete scene about it.

Where did you read the original novel from? Can you share the link to that website?

I’m watching it again, and in every episode there are small comedy scenes included within the dialogues, which I find really entertaining. The ‘spiritual tablet’ scene was especially funny in episode 3, she takes the hero to his own spiritual tablet to pray. There, she says something like, ‘My husband and I will pray for you,’ and at that moment the hero starts coughing.

@swathi, I liked it up to episode 29, but after that the story feels a bit rushed. They could have extended it by a few episodes. But overall, I really enjoyed this series

Yup Unveil is their third collaboration after One and Only and SOKP. He finally got the girl . I feel WXY does less dramas than his other contemporaries so I hope he picks more dramas in general.

Imo season 2 and season 3 of Strange Tales of Dynasty have better cases especially Season 2 so I would recommend giving that a shot. I also watched only the first season of Under the Skin .

@ beanstalk - Omg that also i forgot..he saved her in cliff but she dint know it..he saved her using coin while she froze with the help of that blind lady..that also she knows or what ? So many loopholes which werent addressed in drama..

i liked it very much untill episode 17 where they seperate near the bridge..i liked her relation with jinboa,mandi and others, with tutor tao..

i disliked scenes of them in camp..because she was so honest and sincere in her love for him,searching for him everywhere..yet he dint reveal truth to her all along at all..it was like making mockery of her..it hurt me, more than her 😆

I am rewatching untill episode 17 ..thier early love days 💕

Also did u notice in drama epi 37,when he was intoxicated inside palace along with princess , he was drowsy ..but he came well and fine before emperor next minute to present his case then again went back to being drowsy ..how was he fine for few minutes alone ? Dont know

Also entire climax of uncovering wei yan was very very sloppy writing ..One minute they were all surrounded by qi min soldiers next minute they were all down ..

Actually, the reason for cutting his hand was to reduce the effect of the drugs.

In the Imperial court, he is just acting so that no one realizes he is under the influence.

I really liked all the tent related episodes. Even the fake marquis of wuhan drama was very funny.

The reason for not telling her was probably that she would get very angry and wouldn’t accept him. I think this could also have been one of the reasons just like how she reacted after finding out the truth. Per mujhe to bada maja aaya tent wale episodes mai

Btw When she falls from the mountains and he takes care of her, he ties that same ribbon on her head the one that had remained with him in episode 17. So the heroine should have realized that her husband was the one who saved her, but nothing like that was shown in the episode@swathi

@bold After episode 29, the episodes feel very rushed. If they had extended it by 10 more episodes, all the issues could have been properly covered. I’m not completely sure, but when he cuts his palm , it indicates that he is trying to reduce the effect of the drugs maybe in the court he pretends that he is fine, but actually he isn’t so they tried to show it that way.

He cut his hand as soon as he realised he was trapped ..then he killed people and went out na..still he was too drowsy in the garden when changyu met him ..cutting hand dint help him at all..maybe she knocked him off na ,did that help?..i dont know but his speech was so clear and poised compared to how he was blabbering changyu changyu before scene..

He left her at cottage and left..She ran away from there with blind woman..his soldiers went after her but she left with lord li.. he dint search for her or dint learn anything about her post that..

They showed many useless scenes instead of fixing plot holes lol

She went in carriage,wore dress and came out as general..how stupid they can be..

@leprechaun clearly explained how in novel ,xie zheng helped her learn with military materials and studies and trained her before she directly went to battlefield..
