istg atp everything is keeping us guessing, anyone could be the masked man but by the posture i think it's someone…
I think the looking old part is a trick to throw us off? It could be a younger person. Or maybe even 2 people playing the part. π Yes, it is amazing that they got us all speculating with no solid leads. ππ
That twist on Shi Quan. I LOVED IT. π€π€ These guys play the long game and have the patience of saints. Dang!
Yes, only 4 days left including today. Just too short. Sometimes I miss the days before the 40 episode cap rule. I think that gives more room to develop characters. With the 40 episode rule, they sometimes can't. You know that part where ZZX becomes BFFs with the guy who bullied him and the team captain. They did not show how it happened, not enough episodes. So yeah, 60 episodes would do better justice to this drama. But oh well. π€·π»ββοΈ
I am going to rewatch after the show ends. We should have a rewatch party here after the drama ends it's run. π€ͺππ
So many speculations flying about the masked man. What do you guys think? I think they definitely has something to do with the royal family or someone in royal service. Same as the 3rd villain. So that leaves us the Emperor, Prince Yong Rong and Zhao Bing Wen.
But then again with LZH, nothing is in black and white, just shades of grey. Maybe another innocent-looking person that we did not even suspect is the 3rd villain. And then it turns out it was espionage.
Dang, whilst I don't want this drama to end, I also look forward to the next 8 episodes with bated breath. π₯°πππ€π€π
I really love how with 32 eps out and only 8 episodes left , the guesses are still all over the place. The writers…
Yes! And then I dread the conclusion of this drama, wished it was 60 episodes like yesterday. π₯² Sighs...I suspect I am gonna be in a cdrama drought for a long time. π Most of the other dramas are going to be like fluff after watching this masterpiece. π
Antu didnβt just fall in love quickly. They met so many times, got to know each other and had an actual date…
I wish they would have taught ZH some basic 101 self protection martial arts though. He was like a clumsy oaf next to the princess when they were fighting off Cao's minions. LOL But yeah...it's part of the story.
Moral of the story: don't trust anyone! LOLIn all seriousness, ZH is human and even as intelligent as he is and…
Yes, so done with Eunuch Cao. Like just die already. Sighs....He is like a pesky cockroach, who refuses to die after multiple sprays of bug spray, smacking with a shoe and throwing a heavy book on it. The moment you lift the book, the dang πͺ³ comes running out in your direction. YIKES. π¬ That is Eunuch Cao for you. LOL π€£π
And Madam Queen should have thrown her sword into his neck and that would be the end of him. I guess the roach has one last purpose in this drama. π
Thats my thought too. First he trust the masked man then his Master then what ZLY told ZZX (not sure who is telling…
Ohhh...another Marquis fan. I like this character too. It is not right he killed ZH's family and fellow disciples who are kids. But with everyone being so grey, I kinda suspect there is more to the story of the entire family being killed. I suspect ZH's father having a deeper secret. The Marquis is a cool villain, that jailbreak and fight scene with the son is just π€. He exited with a BANG. π
Yes ZH, are you happy now that your enemy is dead, killed by his own son. Sighs...that was a painful question and I guess the answer is no judging from ZH's reaction. And then maybe ZH was feeling bad and assigned ZZX's buddies to be with him. Either that, they are to spy on him. π
I don't like Eunuch Cao. Just nothing redeeming about him or they did not have enough time to give him a good story. LOL
Thats my thought too. First he trust the masked man then his Master then what ZLY told ZZX (not sure who is telling…
This show is twisty! It is so grey. What is right and wrong is a matter of perspective. I LOVE IT. π€π€π€
And that had me half expecting a Darth Vader moment with the Queen saying to ZH...Hai....I am you MOTHER. HAhahahahah... thankfully that was not it. And now I suspect his masters and benefactor too. π
Thats my thought too. First he trust the masked man then his Master then what ZLY told ZZX (not sure who is telling…
Yes, I thought ZZX was a bit too calm in the aftermath of his father's death. Or is he going to come back and do something to ZH later. Like kill ZH's love of his life as payback?
These characters seem to have the patience of saints to wait 10-20 years for their revenge to come into fruition. π
I hate them both equally , but Eunuch Cao is such an adorable lunatic I canβt help but admire how unhinged he…
True, the slaughter of innocent people is wrong. No excuses for that one. I wonder why he skinned ZH's parents. Was it a ritual? I want to know too.
Regarding duke's wives and kids, I agree he ruined ZZX and his mum in his quest for power by marrying Jiang Xiang as his principle wife. She was a horrible woman and took the opportunity to drive that wedge between Duke and his 2nd wife.
Jiang Xiang and her son's end are in part of their own doing and not 100% on the duke. Theirs was a marriage for power and Jiang Xiang spoilt her own son rotten and never stopped his corrupt practices. If the duke didn't care about ZZF morals, as ZZF's doting mother, she could have stepped in, but she didn't. I felt bad for ZZF, but they reaped what they sowed.
The sound of Youku's cash registers ringing in the moolah for the LZH Express Package. π΅πΆπ·
Everyone is going "Take our money!" π€ͺπΈπΈπΈ
Good job to those who guessed correctly since many episodes back. ππ
What are your guesses for the 3rd villain. I am guessing Prince Yong Rong.
That twist on Shi Quan. I LOVED IT. π€π€

Or so we are all hoping that she will be his MIL. It's so twisty, it may not be. π
And I wonder who the masked man is, heck, mask man might even be a woman.

Have you seen this? It's hilarious:
The villains having a sing off. Eunuch Cao's godson is the DJπ€£ππ
