Thanks for the link. I love the author’s other novel which was made into the drama, ‘A Girl like Me’. Do you know if that novel has been translated to English and if yes, the link to that?

Shouldn’t it be 😝😝😝? LOL

I understand your displeasure but luckily, it is not too big a deal because it’s still up in the airwhen he knew or if he always knew . Everyone needs to be aware that there are plenty of spoilers on this forum, tagged or not. I know I really try to see if spoiler tags are checked off or needed But this website has been freezing up on me big time and I worry whether my check took or not. Sometimes, I can’t log back in fast enough to check. Are any of you having same issues? Maybe this forum is getting too much traffic for the website to handle

It’s good to have different points of views. That’s why we are spending so much time here. 🤣 If everyone agrees on every point, there won’t be so much discussions here. I’m glad there is such a forum here.

Personally, I think the novel was written in a manner where a lot of things were grey and open to interpretation but that could also be in the translation and my reading of it. For example, I asked CloudA ( she answers questions about the novel) since HFX knew BFX’s secret identity, did BFX know he knew before her return to Qingzhou because she said’ how much do you know ?’ when he said he was going to follow her to Qingzhou to marry the Qingzhou princess. CloudA gave a very convoluted answer.🤣

Very Good points. Also I feel if I read the novel first and then watch the drama shortly thereafter, I won’t enjoy the drama as much as nothing is fresh. But if I watch the drama after a period of time has passed from reading the novel, I will enjoy the drama. Happened to me with Harry Potter.

I get you now. Thanks for explaining. My bad - I misread, thought you meant there was going to be such a scene in the drama and I wondered how you knew since the potential ep hasn’t aired yet. I blame it on staying up till 4 am to read and comment. . I’m spending way too much time here but that means I am interested in all your thoughts and comments. If I dislike a drama, I won't even comment or review. I prefer to spend my time on the dramas I love.

I think it will be a happy ending because the drama has the core of the novel. But we shall see

I love both ZLS and Bai Lu. Both are great actresses but I am liking ZLS’s paring with YY here.

Because female protagonist is clueless or don’t want to admit her feelings until many episodes into the drama. But I do love the mix of Wuxia, political intrigue and the romance that you know will follow. So it’s not all about the romance - that’s why there are comments of too little or too much romance from different people. .That’s why you also thought there was a divergence in the opinions of the previous 2 commentators. It’s all in the eyes of the beholder. I say just watch and enjoy if this is your type of genre.

It’s a slow burn between the 2 main leads.

I’m with you. One of the best dramas. I was getting quite board with watching a variety c and k dramas until the arrival of this one

I didn’t think the drama suffered at all. Maybe because I didn’t pay much attention to the drama involving the director/producer/actress. Who really cares about them as long as the drama is entertaining. I watched the drama first and because I was so interested, I read the novel for more insights. I love the drama more and I never needed the drama to follow the novel closely but the core of the story is definitely there. Love the story and BFX and HFX characters.

I liked Business Proposal also and Revolutionary love as well. Very funny as well.

I have watched it. I like Sword snow stride better. Now that’s another drama where there was a lot of negative comments for the FL which I thought was uncalled for. I liked her and thought she fit the roll very well.

I read the reviews of HSADSS and most of the reviews are 8’s and above, some 10’s. So maybe it’s been a while since you read the the reviews? There are a few bad reviews but that’s with every drama.

There is a brief YouTube clip

But that scene you are talking about has not aired yet. It is in the war towards the end where her general died, so will be after the wedding if it’s in the drama. And what did she say that had such an impact on you? I thought she didn’t say much after the death of her generals. And was it really FLX’s fault he was late? I am rather confused. I thought it was Military Leader REN’s fault for diverting her army and sowing discord. Thought fLX was waiting for her request for help before going though he shouldn’t have. When her request came, Ren sent the messenger to rest first. It was BFX’s attendant who gave FLX the message to send reinforcements. Please correct me if I’m wrong because I read the translated novel and some things in there are difficult to make out at first glance

I think you should watch the first 4 ep (after WRTW ofcourse 😁)and decide for yourself. IMHO, the first ep is the weakest because the cinematography wasn’t good and I was wondering if it was just a heavy, pure Wuxia story and it wasn’t and I was so excited when Yukee appeared. Love her character and how she played it.

Good attitude.I prefer Wuxia with romance, intrigue,, good ending- all the good things in life. I do like Yuke in Heavenly sword. I think her part in Princess Weiyoung was a disadvantage but she was very good in HS.
