I fell of the chair laughing lol. When his fan takes the spotlight 😂😂😂

Man idk where you listen but it is the sound of iron against iron when they hit the fan. Idk what kind of listening you have, but it indeed is the same sound when sword hits sword for example, compared to when sword hits anything else 😂😂😂

I went back and saw he has a variety of paper fans, but only 1 not paper fan he uses in all the fighting scenes. We have seen that particular fighting fan as soon as episode 1. The other paper ones are in non fight scenes - he had a completely black one in ep 8 and 10, in the same episode 10 at the end he has a completely red paper one. In ep 13 he uses the same iron fan im talking about to save XFF from shooting SYR at the banquet, also used in the scene against that opera singer in episode 14 for context. When you see that fan folded, it is clear the middle and bottom part aint paper as they completely fill in the frame, whereas the top part is paper as it sits flat when closed. Also to note - no "white paper" bits on that particular fan. Moreover, while it is true they are following the novel, it is also true they changed stuff.

The one that he uses in episode 17 against Chu Lan is tho. It is iron on the middle and lower part, red paper on the top part. You can literally see it reflect light in the whole sequence.

Ok lemme clarify, i thought u were talking about the iron fan xiao heng had in recent episodes, not the paper ones in general. Also, sticks are hard but there are also sticks that are more durable and flexible and i was envisioning them when i made the above analogy compared to close combat and hunting rather than war. You see one side has hard stones while the other has a not so hard stick, but long and durable. On a side note, thanks for the valuable info i appreciate when people give me more food for thought. As for the paper fans in war, i agree they'd serve no purpose, compared to the iron ones that could even have hidden weapons incorporated onto them. Also, i aint a man. Just to clarify 😂😂

I was thinking u were talking about the one they showed recently that was an iron one. Also i agree the paper ones are a bit of a drag, but saying that all fans altogether are bad is for me a drag on your side. Its like saying that people using sticks and stones back when weapons and iron was not invented is stupid and serves no purpose in the same analogy.

Well yes it will be. And id add it eill be interesting to read a few books.

Not only that, even in Tai Chi they have iron fan techniques along with sword and spear ones. Why would it be weird when historically they were used as a stealth weapons and deadly ones as well.

That is showcased really well imo. They do not trust each other at 100% even after knowing each other for more than 6 months, which imo is really a cool move in the drama direction.

I am not familiar with the novel, but even with the chinese subs in the trailer, QiongZhi says " 薛县令 (Xuē xiàn lìng - county magistrate Xue)" which cannot be Xue Zhao given he is even younger than XFF.

Yeah cuz I as well cannot wait, i wake up and run the stairs to make breakfast and coffee in under 5 mins 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It will also test their understanding with one another and their trust in each other as well. I am also looking forward to this cuz it will really showcase how much they care about the other person.

Bahahahaha probably 😂😂😂😂😂

Yes i indeed am.

Lol that is also valid. I just feel like itd be better to just watch em episodes with my breakfast as soon as i wake up lol 😆

In episode 18's trailer, QiongZhi says "Magistrate Xue" which left me with the idea its XFF's father that is alive. Also if my deduction based on the trailer for episode 19 is right, the one being tortured is A'Li's father.

What I'm thankful for tho is Xiao Heng's fan is made of metal, compared to the paper fans tbey use in other dramas where they block swords and arrows with it opened 😂😂😂😂

It airs at 5am for me so hell naw will i wake up at 5 in the morning. I eat the episodes as soon as i wake up with my coffee and breakfast 😂😂😂

It is yes. Based on episode 18 trailer, A'Li finds out her father is alive, so episode 19 would be an intense one with her trying to save him and the dynamics between A'Li and Xiao Heng becoming tense compared to how calm they are these past episodes.

There is the aftermath probably left that will be concluded in next episode. If you remember xiao heng said that it'd be a shame if the observers came for nothing and they will blame someone, but knowing A'Li I think she calculated everything with xiao heng's involvement. She won't leave em unpunished, just as she dealt with her cousin and sister in the jiang family.
