Ikr, this schedule is brutal. I guess we should be grateful that we at least get to watch daily but still …😫

Let’s see how tomorrow’s episodes go…🤞

Sadly, I think your fear may come true…only 10 episodes left but they can still mess things up

Yeah that would have made sense 🙄

Finally caught up to ep 18. When I first started with ep 1, I thought Cheng Yi was miscast, how could he physically compare being the top martial artist against Xiao Shu Yao’s manly portrayal of Di Fei Sheng?

However, as the story unfolded, I find Cheng Yi the perfect actor to play LLH and Joseph Zeng also great as FDB. The trio have such great rapport!

FDB is funny - so possessive over LLH, being hostile to anyone who wants to get close to LLH😆

I hope that there is no further romance between LLH and WQM - I still remember her from TTEOTM and don’t really want to see more of her lol she’s listed as the main cast though…

I’m not sure about the portrayal of Jiao Li Qiao. There’s some overacting there to me.

Agree! They don’t even have that many episodes…why in the world do they need so many producers? Not enough funding???

Yeah I hope that they really don’t dumb down either side.

Yeah, just one director and scriptwriter would have helped with the flow but I prefer the more recent ones. I hope they don’t switch again 🤞

Yeah like @Deirdre19 said, I heard that they switched to a different group around ep 18. That’s probably why there was a change of pace too

The villains think too predictably when it comes to anticipating the reactions of DZY, HY and LMX. They dropped the token of the Emperor during the assassination wanting DZY to blame the Emperor. Luckily Hanye was there but I think DZY and LMX would have figured it out even if Hanye’s was not there to point out the obvious.

Ep 29 - wow Hanye finally lost his cool!
It’s a good thing we switched director and scriptwriter- the pace has definitely picked up.
I wonder how they are going to resolve Hanye’s problem in one episode?

Totally enjoying this quirky show! The mother-daughter dynamics are entertaining and the side characters like the grandmothers and Mi Gong add flavor.
I almost don't want any romance as a distraction but Jin Hee and Jae Woo just make me root for them ending up together!

True! One of my first comments were how the best part of this show was how strong the female characters were but most of them wilted away...

Ep 28...Gotta say Reba and Gong Jun looked gorgeous. I mean they always do but in this episode, the way they stared at each other, they just took my breath away.

Oh, the angst...I felt every stab that Hanye suffered...from seeing DZY with LMX, the guilt trips inflicted by LMX, from not being able to be with DZY...he lost his confidante...Gong Jun, I applaud your acting.

Seems like LMX wants more....I wonder if he has another mastermind behind him, driving him to demand DZY to seek the extreme.

I guess I have another villain to detest....Mo Bei. I cannot believe that Anning trusts him that much. I really dislike how they portrayed Anning...I was expecting so much from what the novel readers said but she has been a such a disappointing character.

Of course we still got to see DCE and MQ...why am I not surprised?!

LMX especially! LinLang should be the actress that the show is pushing, not the fake DCE...

DCE keeps popping up so I think she will still be used by someone and poor MQ would probably sacrifice his life for her 😢

You’re right, I do see the resemblance 😁

Love watching them having fun!

Oh really? I think they did well in casting overall.

Yes, jawline and similar eyes

So true - Di Sheng Tian's character definitely seemed more watered down. I figured the empress dowager had more layers to her in the novel as well. In the show, she came across as a petty jealous wife who later turned it around to be all about her son. That whole arc felt flat to me.
