Er Ye is still grieving? I am now watching ep 6. He was grieving in Key to the Phoenix Heart. 😄😄

Lt Zhang used to yank Ba Ye's chain. They had some funny moments. 😂😂 My friends and would joke that Ba Ye had a crush on Fo Ye, especially when you watch the final episode flashback of when they first met. 😁😁

I was annoyed with a lot of redundancies and plot holes in M9 Season 1, but I liked the Fabulous Four and the supporting characters, except for the irritating villains. The director repeated filler flashbacks to fill up 48 episodes. It could have been done in 36 episodes.

Is Ding really a eunuch? I thought he was acting like one. I might have seen the actor play a eunuch before.

Ba Ye seems to be the same in both seasons. Due to the history timeline, many years haven't elapsed.

I was thinking the same thing. 😆😆

If they reedited M9 Season1 down to 36 episodes, and removed the filler or extraneous scenes, it might look well done.

Ba Ye acts like a eunuch sometimes. 😂😂 I thought Hanson Ying was handsome as Ba Ye. He was a possessive obsessive SLS in Blossoms in Heart.

The tomb dramas seem to have plotholes. The screenwriters or directors probably don't know how to fill the holes. 😂😂

Thanks. I remember that my friends and I were angry that Ba Ye left the dog chained outside the mansion. Ba Ye was a wimp. I was not following the MDL page while I was watching the drama. There is an old blog site called Problematic of the Unproblematic that recapped every episode with humor and irony. It might be under Old Nine Gates, if you want to check it out.

Thanks! It's been ten years since I watched the M9. I remember that detail with the dog, and I can vaguely recall the Gate's face. I didn't know the names of the Gates except for Fo Ye, Er Ye, Miss Huo and Ba Ye. I know the character Wu Xie well, having watched a few dramas and movies with the Wu Xie character, but I did not know Wu Xie's connection to M9.

Thanks! It's been ten years since I watched the M9, and it was actually in July 2016. I remember that detail with the dog, and I can vaguely recall the Gate's face. I didn't know the names of the Gates except for Fo Ye, Er Ye, Miss Huo and Ba Ye. I know the character Wu Xie well, having watched a few dramas and movies with the Wu Xie character (... with. many different actors LOL), but I did not know Wu Xie's connection to M9.

I don't remember Wu in Season 1. Did he have a dog? I remember somebody chaining a dog outside the Gate's mansion at night instead of returning the dog in person. I think Ba Ye was afraid of the Gate (might be Wu). Or was I thinking of another drama?

I hope the doggie, Rusty or Runty, survives. He is smart. He ran 800 metres six or more times. He should get the Olympic gold medal for Marathon.

He was in the main grouping years ago, as a supporting role. Someone changed the castlist.

Zhang Ming En as Lieutenant Zhang should be credited in the #1 supporting role, not a guest role. He was in the majority of the episodes.

LOL You are so funny, Acro.

It looks like the 401 soldiers plot is going to last a while.

If you watch M9 #1 first, you might get tied up in the melodrama. It was 40 episodes with redundant scenes. You will miss out on the novelty of M9 #2 while it is airing.

Me, too! Little Zhang was my favorite. Zhang Ming En was eighteen or nineteen years old during filming, but his character came across as older and mature.

M9 was my first official C-drama watch, but it had a lot of filler. The charm of the Fantastic 4 and XInyue sold the drama. Editing and storyboard were not the best, but it remains high on my list of favorites, because of the cast.
