I don't understand the need of ML lying about his identity. He could ask her about the past and confirm she was his savior. Then proceed to plan to save her company.
FL's past is revealed near the end. The drama spent a lot of time playing cat fight with her ex and her ex's fiance. FL also needs to deal with ML"s lies. His family problems didn't get much coverage.
I don't like how in every VD has to have kidnapping scene to end the story. But the ending is deserving.
I felt a bit disappointed with Ailin and Lechen's date at the skating rink. It is the place where she could pretend to be weak and constantly hold his hand, but she said "I can do it." It was so obvious Lechen wanted to hold her hands but she kept her hands away and chose to hold the railing and a stranger's hand 😭
Legend of the Condor Heroes is the first story of the trilogy of The Condor Heroes. So if you want to watch the trilogy, you must watch: 1. The Legend of the Condor Heroes (the best ver: 1983 HK ver, 2017 CHN ver) 2. The Return of The Condor Heroes (the best ver: 1984 HK ver, 2006 CHN ver) 3. Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre (the best ver: 1986 HK ver, 2019 CHN ver)
Among all 4 prequel stories, Nine Yin True Sutra was certified S level broadcast and has the most ads. This story also ranked 3rd during the week of airing. It also broke 22000 heat index.
Nine Yin True Sutra was supposed to air last, but they changed it to first. Perhaps due to the fact that Mei Chaofeng was the most popular character during the airing of TLOH, with all her clips were the most watched and liked. Even the staff promoted Mei Chaofeng a lot.
I feel like it is anticlimactic. I expected a martial arts showdown between the 5 great masters. Especially bcos it is a well known story that Wang Chongyang is the greatest of the five. But not even halfway, she already gave the trophy.
Ming Sect is being introduced here. With those people as the members no wonder they are called evil sect.
I was expecting to see how Qigong practices martial arts and becomes the Beggar Sect leader. But he is too occupied with the ladies. Meanwhile Duan Zhixing roams around with no goal and ends up in Beggar Sect competition. Why would a prince wants to be a beggar leader to help people instead of being a good emperor? Ridiculous.
This installment focuses more on the love triangle instead of the jianghu the 2 characters have been dreamed off. They suddenly gain extra power and instantly become strong. It becomes a romance action drama. There is no proper closing for the spy and how Qigong handles the accusations later.

You mean my opinions of all 5?
I was expecting for the prequel stories more than the main bcos it is the first time someone actually made stories about previous gen. The main story butchered a lot of background stories, but it is fast paced.
I don't read the novel, but I know each prequel story has original characters and plots. The biggest letdown is SENB bcos it focuses more on the love triangle. It lacks the journey and development of rookies in pugilist world.
DOMH feels a little anticlimactic bcos I expected a full scale of battle between the 5 great masters.
In NYTS, they changed Huang Yaoshi's character into a gentle, sweet and sickly man and made Mei Chaofeng as a revenge driven tragic girl instead of an ambitious person. FYI, these 2 characters are villains.
Overall I'm impressed with this remake. They spent the effort to make one whole complete package. If you want a taste of classic wuxia with no overused special effects, this is a must try. The actors are old, but so what? It actually feels unique that the staff chose veterans for the classic title.
do I need to watch the Legend of the Heroes before I watch this or can it be stand alone?
Watch order: 1. Eastern Heretic and western venom 2. Southern emperor and Northern beggar 3. Duel on Mount Hua 4. Nine Yin True Sutra 5. Legend of Heroes Hot Blooded
The 4 sub stories have original characters and plots, they didn't follow the novel closely. You don't have to watch them all, but it will help to understand the characters from previous generations.

Don't say that her delusional fans think she is the best in her generation lol
Her fans never said she is the best in her generation 🤣 Not once I saw posts of her fans boasting about her being the best in acting, not even in weibo. Her fans are busy supporting and protecting her rights, and they are respectful to other actors and their fans.
Anyone who finished the novel? Can you tell me if there's any concubine or not? Does ML have any other lover interest…
Nope. ML only married FL. He doesn't have concubine or other women, not even a maid. ML is sick and doctors diagnosed he will die young. What woman wants to marry and becomes a widow?
They didn't announce it specifically, but Meng Ziyi's fansite said Meng Ziyi acts as Gu Qingzhi, but they only shot her without showing her face. Idk how that will work.
FL's past is revealed near the end. The drama spent a lot of time playing cat fight with her ex and her ex's fiance. FL also needs to deal with ML"s lies. His family problems didn't get much coverage.

The ML looks so much like Lin Gengxin that I thought they might be blood related brothers or long lost brothers.
