Why is no-one talking about how Xu Jia is introduced to the audience?:D Dude opens the double door by flipping…
yeah, that's kind of weird! Was that action really needed? Couldn't he just knock, open door and walk in? I mean, it's not like there's any urgency in delivering the letter/news. (⊙_⊙)？
ok, back in the olden days, old folks esp wealthy chinese, would fret if their sons were to turn out to be gays, cos that would mean putting a stop to their descendents lineage - no offspring, right? But that's in the old days.
In this advanced technology era, surrogate moms can be engaged to bear fruits with own genes, can't they? Perhaps it's still difficult to identify a good & willing donor of eggs...
Excuse me for my poor understanding of Chinese terms. What he said was Dōu néng bǎozhù yīgè rén bàn xún zhī mìng [都能保住一个人半旬之命]
Wuxi used the word 半旬之命 Ban Xún Zhī Mìng. Although the word Xún 旬 mean Ten days, Ten years or Full period, it's followed by 之命 Zhī Mìng (one's fate)
Hence, the literal translation in this context is "Can save a person's life for half a decade". In Youku's subs: NO MATTER HOW BADLY THE INJURED IS, THIS ELIXIR CAN HELP HIM RECOVER HALF OF HIS LIFE.
Ye BaYi did tell ZZS that he'll lose all his energy once he remove the 7 torment nails. And that's why ZZS didn't want to get treatment. Hence my interpretation is that with the help of the elixir, ZZS can still retain 50% of his inner strength and will not lose his martial power after he forces out the seven torment nails.
As the only person who perfected his art in disguise.... I’m sure he can tell a fake WKX from a real WKX....…
LOL, chinese in the olden days are more concerned of being buried in one piece. Unless circumstances do not allow burial, Chinese don't cremate the bodies of loved ones. They bury them at good fengshui locations. As replied earlier, ZZS wasn't expecting a living WKS inside. So he's not surprised to see a corpse in there.
If ZZS thinks that the corpse is really WKX, then ZZS with his 50% fighting power could still have grabbed the corpse to bid farewell, bury him to send him off to Hades. But He deliberately set it on fire because he knows it's not WKX.
Dear Schimofinnie, as replied above, QQ was burning funeral rites paper for the dead outside the hut. Chinese don't burn such paper for a living person. Hence, ZZS wasn't expecting to see a living WKS inside when he asked QQ if WKS is inside. If you deduce that expression to be a surprise look, then it could mean that ZZS was surprised to find a fake corpse, and he's processing that info like "how can that be, what's happening, is this plotted by WKS?". But due to intruders approaching nearby, he thought it best to burn the fake corpse than letting those intruders get their hands on the fake body. Cos, if ZZH really thought that that corpse is WKS, wouldn't he have grabbed WKX away and bury him somewhere else??? That's my interpretation ^__^
Dear Schimofinnie, the fact that Qian Qiao is burning funeral rites paper outside the hut already symbolises a corpse is laid in the room. He's not expecting a living or injured person in that hut.
yup, that's what i wrote on Saturday. That's why he was only staring at the corpse and showing no sad emotions.
ZZS learnt from Cao Weining that the Great Shaman and Lord 7 are still on their way there. But the Heroes Challange will be held very soon. He's probably expecting WKX to return but don't know when.
Remember the healing method suggested by Ye BaYi - Remove nails but in doing so will lose his inner strength.
However, ZZS will now not lose all his inner strength because he has the power pill from Wu Xi The Great Shaman.
ZZS wants to self remove the nails to strengthen himself before participating in the Heroes Challenge so as to prevent Zhao JIng from becoming the Wulin Master.
hmmm... when ZZS saw the corpse, he didn't look devastated at all. He was very calm. Could he perhaps be thinking "why didn't WKX let him in on his scheme!"
In Ep# 18 @4:00, WKX told ZCL that "if one day your teacher is no longer around, i will also find such a place to hide and not to see anyone". To this, ZCL said "isn't this like Yu Boya (俞伯牙) breaking his qin".
This refers to a musician Yu Boya (俞伯牙) associated with the guqin pieces Gao Shan "高山" ("high mountains") and Liu Shui "流水" ("flowing water").
According to Qin Shi, Liezi said: "Bo Ya was good at playing the qin. Zhong Ziqi was good at listening to the qin. Whatever Bo Ya thought of Ziqi would never fail to understand. Bo Ya said, 'Amazing! Your heart and mine are the same!' When Ziqi died, Bo Ya broke the strings [of his qin] and vowed never to play [the qin] again.
Bo Ya's story exemplifies the Chinese ideal of friendship. The term Zhiyin (知音, literally "to know the tone") has come to describe a close and sympathetic friend.
By reference to the qin story, it's the screenwriter's analogy of WenZhou friendship. Ah Xu is Wen KeXing's soulmate and confidante.
I want WOH to be very successful so in future, we can more BL series to watch
hmmm... WoH is not BL.
I wish for WoH to be ultra super successful and loved by everyone and anyone so that filming standard is raised and executive producers will want produce more of such quality WuXia drama instead of sub standard for commercial revenue ^__^
LOL. Douluo Continent cdrama is not worth mentioning here. You cannot benchmark DC against WoH. DC doesn't have a good or exciting storyline other than in search of beast/godly powers and cultivating their powers. I watched DC to pass time while in wait for new/good dramas.
My interpretation is that: > ZZS knows the dead body is not WKX. How can one's body be in one pretty piece after a fall from such height. > he knows himself he's not cured yet. Upon waking up in the inn (#32), he's starting to lose his 3rd sense - sight. So, he knows he cannot delay his healing process any further. Ye BaiYi had mentioned to him at their 2nd mtg that one way to cure him is to force out the nails but losing all his inner strength. Hence he took Wu Xi's energy pill to help force out the 7 nails from his body. The pill is like a power booster to an injured person with at least 50% energy...
so the subs on youku youtube r way too slow to handle my obsesion with this drama. would u say that the chinese…
yeah, i understand conversational chinese but not chinese idioms, literacy and poems. Believe Chinese poems make references to ancient figureheads and stories.
Why can't the drama have WKX saving the weakened ZZS who's lost 50% of his inner strength due to the 7 Nails torment?…
Dramatic? Well, i guess he had to send all his GV soldiers to counter the Window of Heaven, supposedly one of the top two assassinator clans. On ZZH's side, the only powerful fighter is solo Wen KeXing.
My guess on the foster relationship is to pave the reason/motive for Scorpion King teaming up wih WKX, so as to add to the storyline and make it more interesting.
