For everyone thinking about starting this drama or not, giving this drama a chance, wondering if it's really that good, etc., heed my advice and warning: Do Not Watch It! It will ruin you!! It will make any other drama you watch after this to feel bland and tasteless. The OTP will forever scar your heart, allowing no other to approach. Your life will be meaningless if you don't check out something related to the drama/novel/anime/actors every single day! You will be humming the OST in inappropriate places. It will make you sad that you're not an artist/aspiring poet/writer/philosopher/musician (well if you're not) to reflect your deep thoughts & feelings after the drama ends into your creative works. It will make your wanna read the novel, watch the animation, listen to the audio drama, be in the look out for every possible adaptation of this great story until there's nothing left to do. And then rinse & repeat! It will make your want to rewatch it again and again and again, instead of trying to watch any of the hundreds of other dramas/movies/tv shows that are patiently waiting for you to give them a chance in your list. So, you'd better not watch it. Go find something else. Give your life a chance. Watch every other drama in your list, and then, only then, come to it, at last!!! :)
...He asked with a serious face, “What is the name of this sword?”
Wei WuXian answered, “Suibian[*].”
Lan WangJi stared at him. Wei WuXian thought that he didn’t hear properly, so he repeated it again, “Suibian.”
Lan WangJi frowned and refused, “This sword has a spirit. Calling it as one pleases is disrespectful.”
Wei WuXian let out a sigh, “Think outside the box, won’t you? I wasn’t asking you to call it whatever you wanted to, but the name of my sword just happens to be ‘Suibian’. Here, look.” As he spoke, he passed the sword over for Lan WangJi to see the characters on the sword. Surrounded by lines and patterns, two ancient characters were carved onto the sheath. It was “Suibian”, indeed.
For a few moments, Lan WangJi was at a loss for words.
Wei WuXian showed his consideration, “You don’t need to talk. I know that you definitely want to ask me why it’s called this name. Everyone asks if it has some special meaning to it. Actually, there’s no special meaning at all. It was just that, when Uncle Jiang gave me the sword and asked me what I wanted to call it, I came up with more than twenty names, but wasn’t satisfied with any of them. I thought that I could let Uncle Jiang give it a name, so I answered, ‘Whatever!’ But, who knew that, after the sword had been forged and taken out, these two characters were on it. Uncle Jiang said, ‘If this is the case, then why not let this sword be named Suibian?’ To be honest, this name isn’t bad either, right?”
Finally, Lan WangJi spoke through his gritted teeth, “… Ridiculous!”
Wei WuXian carried his sword on his shoulder, “You’re such a boring person. Don’t you see how fun this name is? It’s especially good at tricking serious ones like you, and it works every single time. Haha!”
[*]The word 随便 / Suíbiàn in Chinese means “whatever” or "as one pleases".
Ahh Wang Yibo will be starring in a drama with Zhao Liying, one of the most famous actresses in China! I'm so…
I love Zhao Li Ying as well, but I feel the pairing between them would feel kind of awkward, he is (and looks) so much younger than her! But I'm still looking forward to another Xianxia adaptation, and having these two excellent actors in it tops the excitement!!
All these comments about it having awkward or ambiguous ending, make me wonder if we watched the same movie?! It was a Perfect ending imo, left me with a big big smile on my face!!! :)
How's singing all along for you? Still thinking if I should watch it
It's great if you like Chinese historical or wuxia dramas!! Personally one of my favourites! Great characters and rarely dragging (except some tragic occurrences toward the end -but most of it is history, so they couldn't help it!) Btw, the title has absolutely Nothing to do with the plot!!
Hey, quick question if you don’t mind; where did you watch the show? Because I’ve trying to find episode 7…
You can easily watch most of them in your phone or tablet with the iQIYI app for android or apple! It's a bit more challenging if you want to watch it on your computer though... As someone suggested me in here, I've downloaded & installed an android emulator for my computer -called BlueStacks- that's fairly easy to use, then from the app store inside there I installed the iQIYI app for android phones/tablets. I managed to download & watch all non-VIP episodes from there!!
Is there a place to watch episodes 41-48 except iQIYI app VIP? (Don't get me wrong, I'd love to support the makers to watch it, but I've tried & I'm getting an error message every time I try to sign up in the app! :/ ) Also, does anyone know the schedule for non-VIPs? Will the remaining 8 episodes all come out next week, or some next week and some the week after that?? Cause I can't wait!! :D
Some other remarkable female characters: Lady Mishil in Queen Seon Duk, Yin Lihua in Singing All Along, and -maybe the smartest and most self-controlled female character in a drama ever- Sheng Ming Lan in The Story of Ming Lan!
Anyone knows where one can find English subs beyond episode 6, anywhere, except the IQiYi app (I'm too bored to figure out how to make an android app play videos on my computer, lol)??
