Oh, the Er Ye with his wife plus Chen Pi was so boring and took half the run time.

Oh yes, that's sweet. I actually thought they died in the battle because I didn't watch Dao Mu Bi Ji.

Who's Runty again? It has been a while since I watched the first season

Yes， she was hostile. At least the current one is neutral .

I really need to rewatch the last episode.

Thanks.

Ah yes, someone mentioned the first one resigned. I didn't remember it.

Thanks.

I think it's most likely at the final episode or one episode before final because I remember the old one appeared the whole season.

Ah yes, I forgot she resigned.

Thanks 😊👍

Are Huo Xian Gu in S1 and S2 the same people? Because it's a title, not her actual name.

Yes, William is a good singer as well. 😍

I agree.
I think the last part of the drama went through a lot of cutting so the story became jumbled. It was indeed very entertaining.

I miss them too. I guess it's unlikely for Zhao Li Ying to get back. For Zhang Ming En, I guess he was busy at other dramas.
I thought the original Huo character was in love with Er Ye. Did they change her love interest in this story? That's why I thought she was a different character.

This fanmade video of Season 1 could give some highlight of what happened in Season 1. The opening song of Season 1 was a banger.

Oh yes, that scene. I think someone made a fanmade youtube video including that fight scene and used S1 opening song. It was very appropriate. The first season opening song was also a banger.

Yup.

That's the nature of the show. Nearly everyone could die.

Oh, was that him? He was so great as Wang Pu.

At least the first episode is in Youku channel in Youtube at my end.

This is really good and the first time I discovers Zhai Zhi Lu. Will look for his other works.

Also really hope there will be Season 2.

Yes, currently airing.

I see. Thanks 🙏

Thanks 👍🙏

No worries.

Thanks for your response. I think Judge Bao was very popular in South East Asia so a lot of people were familiar with Kenny Ho's version.

Ah, mercury poisoning makes sense. How about the cracked ribs? Did they stone the villagers to silenced them?

True about ZZ's hand being full. It makes sense that they didn't show the killing.

I just finished this 2 days ago so it's good to see your review.

I haven't seen other portrayals of Zhan Zhao besides Kenny Ho which is the gold standard. I guess in the initial arc, Yang Yang didn't really act like an inteligent Zhan Zhao but he improved from the middle part onward. I think it respects the audience's intelligence a bit too much as I wasn't clear what was the reason of the people at Wang Xian Village and all the other youngsters have black teeth and damaged ribs. What was the cause? I guess it was because they were used to taste a poison, not so sure about the broken ribs, did they throw stone to kill those victims? Also who shot the arrow in the finale? It's either Bai Yu Tang or Zhan Zhao activated the trigger mechanism.

Overall, like you I also enjoyed the show because it's classic wuxia with a mix of mystery and camaraderie between the three which is the strongest part. Some parts were indeed dragging especially the middle part with the Jin family.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have heard all those shows but haven't watched them.

I like this genre but for heavy political intrigue, need to wait when not so busy with work first.
