Legend of FuYao is one of my favorite. Ethan Ruan, Yang Mi had strong chemistry together (Just like Yang Mi with Mark Chao). I love Ethan Ruan here who's manipulative, loyal, high intelligent, sexy, flirty. 66 episodes is a long one, honestly I didn't watch the last 10-8 episodes, skipped till the end. The best episode was ep 17, 21, you know what I meant....lol. But in serious note, the story was great, acting amazing, Soundtrack awesome, a lot of outdoor scenes. Although so many so in visual effect that I don't like, I can over look it as part of enrichment in scenes. Ethan Ruan fitted as Emperor, very imposing figure with distinguish appearance, fallen in love with him just because he did an amazing acts. Ethan Ruan and Yang Mi dynamic - they're compatible in their performance, although I've never seen Ethan in any drama before so to me he was beyond expectation. Fu Yao and Zhang Sun Wu Ji's love affair is a bitter sweet courting.
Gao Wei Guan was kind of a naive but an excellent general...the girl that he married to, is kind of match with his character, serious battle-worn general with happy go lucky dedicated princess who's been in love, adore and follow him around.

Huang YaoMing do great here, first love of FuYao but he betrayed her love for ambition encourage by his father, sorry but he end up dead. So many memorable characters - the supporting actors did tremendous good job - good or bad guys - what a team work. Final scene though is quite disappointing, it still great but wish it ended better.....were they live happily in heaven or mortal world? I mean it's a 'sad ending' if they're dead and happily in heaven as appears in the background sets. I gave 10 overall score just because you don't see a costume drama leading man bared flirting with a girl at the pool...kind of awesome scene. Yang Mi took the credit for Ethan Ruan skill to flirt!!
