Sssnoopyyy

oh WOW did not know that! that's cool! I can see the resemblance now

Omg I need to stop guessing what's gonna happen next because I'm wrong every damn time. Giving me a whiplash but SO GOOD

I appreciate your insights here. I guess in the beginning, Xiao Wen Jing felt like a cornered mouse where he lost all his power and freedom, hitting rock bottom. I can see how he was triggered even more hearing the real Zhang Mo was happy and free. It was a spur of the moment that led to something tragic.

I will say, Huai An and Ye Zheng have a lot of grace. Ofc we know they kept him alive at first because they needed Xiao Wen Jing alive to track down YFS. But over time, I'm sure they were moved by Xiao Wen Jing's sincerity.

And I was so moved by the teamwork between all the characters in carrying out their mission to achieve a common goal. Even between those who didn't see eye to eye (i.e. Gu Yu and Gao Yan). The way they all sacrificed just so the rest of the team can continue marching forward. That is admirable. You cannot help but root for them.

Tbh when I started watching this show, I didn't expect much character growth from Xiao Wen Jing. When he killed the real Zhang Mo, I just felt like he was a lost cause. I didn't think he was someone who cared about anyone but himself. I also didn't expect that he would forge much of a bond with Huai An and Ye Zheng. I thought he was going to be a backstabber haha.

Does anyone here share the same sentiment? I sometimes feel a disconnect with how he is actually a good guy. If he is good by nature, then how could he have impulsively killed so many people especially Zhang Mo? I don't understand why he had to kill the real ZM.

With that being said, I do appreciate his growth and he is endearing sometimes. But can the guy please choose a different weapon? WHY AN AXE?!

I love how this drama really cuts to the chase. They avoid recapping what happened in the last episode and just get straight to the next scene. They do not drag on plots and the death of the supporting characters. This is probably one of the few dramas where they just kill off the character when their purpose/mission is done, no bs. And the way they integrated Huai An's past is neatly done too. The cliffhangers get me every time but I love it

Yeah after the Marquis died, I lost interest in the drama, especially with the irrelevant side stories and romance (which didn't really add to the plot). So sad we couldn't see more of Huai An's father here lol, always getting killed off haha

I've only seen snippets of this drama and I have come here to say - that hairstyle really suits He Yu haha.

I loved MLC, and I can see some parallels in his character here - the wittiness. And I am loving this drama so far - dark and unpredictable

The actor who plays YFS has such charisma. Even though he is HA's enemy, he has a face that does not look evil or ill intentioned lol. I cannot hate him yet. Maybe this is the same kind of feeling I had when I watched Legend of Zang Hai with the Marquis lol (who funny enough plays HA's father here)

I'm more scared of Wang Pu than YFS LOL. The actor who plays YFS has such charisma and presence but from his face, he doesn't seem evil, so I cannot bring myself to hate him...YET

oh wow I totally forgot about this detail. could you refresh my memory about this? it was basically a difference in their values/beliefs that created a rift right?

I understand they did a swap between YFS and BW midway, but I would imagine at least one of the attackers would notice the delicate stature of the stranger coming in the gate and question if it was a man, let alone YFS. But I guess with dramas, I cannot be too analytical lol

Thanks!

I'm guessing he has history with Huai An's father. He even says coming to the empty mansion reminds him of old aquaintances/friends. He even asked Huai An if he will yield. Perhaps he had no intention of killing the kids? And if Huai An gave up, he would let him go? But he literally caused the sister's death, and is now acting all respectful. Something is off. There must be something more to it.

LOOL but we continue to watch anyway

something's off. I also think it's weird Yan Feng Shan didn't kill Huai An when he saw him. And he also told his subordinates to not touch Bai Wan's grave (almost like it was out of respect). That's weird

same. LOL so many details, I wish my brain cells were wired as fast as Huai An to connect all the dots

I'm surprised Yan Feng Shan didn't kill Huai An when they met. I thought it was strange that YFS told his subordinates to not touch Bai Wan's grave, like it was out of respect. But she literally died because of him. Would YFS not kill them if Huai An surrendered? They must have history, i.e. being friends with Huai An's father or something

1. Did Huai an really kill his friend (think his name is Zhou Mo) in ep 1/2? He said killing him is saving him (but somehow I see a man with a moustache lying on the rocks with Zhang Hao Ran, is that the same guy? was it a fake death?). If Zhou Mo really was killed, then can someone explain all this to me? How did Zhang Hao Ran not understand it until he read Huai an's letter?

2. How did the sister forget about Huai an, they never really explained that. I assume it was just from extreme exhaustion and trauma that she ended up adopted to a new family? I cannot believe they killed her off so quickly in ep 13. Did no one think to verify the person's identity by taking off the hat/mask first before attacking? I could tell from the get go from the build it was a woman.

3. I don't understand the old lady who guarded the village. Based on what was said, she was one of Huai an's father's first subordinates. Why did she betray him and just serve the enemy up til now. I don't see any benefit for her, and if she is so good at fighting, she shouldn't fear the enemy.

Despite some gaps/plot holes. I still enjoy it! Hope it continues with this momentum
