I'm new to these shows but love them. In Lost You Forever I thought the acting and story line was very good. I'm hooked and will look to see all 39 episodes. I'm at 36 now, waiting to finish w the Eng translation. I feel like the main Princess character is an excellent actress. I've seen comments where some don't think she s pretty enough. I think she is and her personality shines through her work. This love triangle of her, Jing and her brother is interesting. I really like both male roles and feel their acting is really good too. Jing (Deng Wei) is so diverse in this role. So many things pushing his life around. Anyway Im interested to see how Season 1 ends. I hope we don't lose too many of the main characters as they all figure in immensely . I have not read the books and won't til later as I don't want to compare. Anyway I would recommend this one but not sure what typical Asian viewers enjoy, but I think it's great and the costumry, the acting and story line is really good. One more thing a girl taking on a male role in the beginning episodes due to story line, that hooked me, it's hard to do, and I think she really did a good job, but then totally transfurmed back into this beautiful princess role later and to me was just amazing
