Yes :)

Xie Yun how is your girl meant to fight and protect you if you put her in a dress? You just want to ogle her at every opportunity. I love Zhou Fei as a tomboy.

No unfortunately

Yes it was revealed a little later in the novel but perhaps like you said it works better for the drama to reveal now to get the story moving.

I'm surprised they revealed this quite early in the drama.

I now understand why I missed it. The English sub at dramacool translated XY dialogue in that scene as "buy us time?" and "she is kiliing me" LOL! Thanks for sharing your translation it made me laugh.

Thank you! I will have to go back and rewatch. There has been so much talking in these last few episodes I missed it.

I don't remember that scene. What episode was it in? I have finished episode 16 maybe I just missed it?

Your comment made me LOL! I'm still waiting for ep 13 & 14

I'm hoping the 7 episodes on the cutting room floor are the rumoured added scenes of the 2nd female lead : )

I like your analysis so far. Looking forward to your thoughts as the drama progresses.

I didn't survive And the Winner is Love but I did survive Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion : )

No problems at all about the rant. I can tell that you are very passionate about this story.

It is rare to find a true wuxia drama these days and the martial arts was definitely the highlight of this story. I love ZF as a strong female lead and XY as the always supportive other half with his own back story.

Speaking of the romance, it will be interesting to see how they will tackle it in the drama. You can already see subtle differences which I think is a nice touch.

My pleasure. There will be character growth even for Li Sheng which everyone seems to be hating on atm haha. It is nice to have a place to share thoughts and feelings about a drama. I'm new to the world of c-drama. By the way, I love reading your drama reviews. They are always very well written, very funny and it's like you're reading my mind : )

This drama has been faithful to the novel thus far and the beginning of the novel was very very slow. If it continues to stay true to the novel then episode 12 is where the action begins and we are in for a great ride as it keeps getting better and better. I'm excited for the actions scenes ahead. Hang in there a little longer ?
