One of the department heads as they prepared him for the trip.

Agreed! I just finished it but it definitely should not be used as a replacement of the original. I am very impressed by the actor Yu Xiao Wei who played Shen Zhong (the northern guard head). Such a good performance as a villain. The other actors are great too, just that I noticed this guy túi time around.

I finished but not using wetvip

There’s a lot of physical attraction. Pain and pleasure. hahah…

I thought I didn't have to watch JOL again since I finished the OG just last year and watched it twice! However, now that I'm watching the SE, I am seeing more details (expressions, reactions, heartfelt conversations, jokes) that I didn't catch the first two times around! Example - Uncle W's expressions that give away who is is. The Gundam reference. I guess I'll find even more if I watch it a 4th and 5th time. hahahaha...

I believe it was originally meant to be three seasons.

Agreed, although the beginning of this version is different than the OG and apparently aligns more with the book than the OG.

I'm excited because I can watch BOTH at the same time!!!

JOL and FSM are two different genres. I am highly anticipating BOTH of them! JOL because of the amazing acting, mental games, subtle expressions, humor, Chinese word plays and homonyms, great action choreography, and OST. FSM because of my favorite actors, romance, CGI (I hope), and beautiful people who (in my opinion) can act.

There’s that interaction between FX and the 2nd prince’s mom. FX says they’re good friends, and she surprised. She continues that he hasn’t had a chance to get to know him long enough yet. That was def. A foreshadow

Also loved the expressions of the princes around FX & emperor .

#1 yup… I got a little sentimental there. Also I notticed more of uncle WZ’s gestures that I somehow missed before.

That’s commendable that you finished the Nobel. Heard it’s crazy long.

If you want to appreciate it, it would be a good idea. From what I catch in the previews, it appears to pick up right where it left off 5 years ago. Also, they released a shortened special edition of JOL1 most likely to help previous watchers get a refresher before season 2 starts. I’ve watched JOL1 twice last year and am now watching the SE and I’m seeing things I forgot or didn’t catch the first two times around.

I dunno, it just seems a little different like production wise.

The good news is you’re not left in a suspense for 5 years. 🤣
Only a week!

Maybe I watched a crappy low res version before.

Did you watch the original? Or special edition?

Did you want the original? Or special edition?
